Continuum mechanics for engineers

Kontinuumsmechanische Probleme des Ingenieurs

Lecturers & Examiners: Prof. Dr. Edoardo Mazza
VVZ CR n/a

Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:14:52

Abstract

The lecture deals with constitutive models that are relevant for design and calculation of structures. These include anisotropic linear elsticity, linear viscoelasticity, plasticity, viscoplasticity. Homogenization theories and laminate theory are presented. Theoretical models are complemented by examples of engineering applications and eperiments.

Objective

Basic theories for solving continuum mechanics problems of engineering applications, with particular attention to material models.

Content

Anisotrope Elastizität, Linearelastisches und linearviskoses Stoffverhalten, Viskoelastizität, mikro-makro Modellierung, Laminattheorie, Plastizität, Viscoplastizität, Beispiele aus der Ingenieuranwendung, Vergleich mit Experimenten.
