Abstract
The design of artificial materials through engineered microstructures makes it possible to achieve mechanical properties that are not displayed by materials available in nature.
A proper representation of such unusual behavior often requires advanced mechanical models that extend beyond those commonly introduced in basic Solid Mechanics courses.
The course introduces special classes of materials displaying exotic mechanical properties and provides the fundamental principles of advanced constitutive modeling.
Course Format
The course is taught in ๐ฌ๐ง ENGLISH and offered:
– On-site
– Online, in synchronous and asynchronous modes
Video recordings, hand-outs, and additional learning materials are available offline.
What You’ll Learn
- How engineered microstructures can produce extreme and reversed mechanical properties
- The fundamental principles of material anisotropy and classes of symmetry
- The behavior of materials with a negative Poissonโs ratio
- The concepts of negative stiffness, thermal expansion, compressibility, and moisture expansion
- The differences between local, nonlocal, and higher-order mechanical models
- How higher-order deformation and stress measures are defined and applied
- How to formulate advanced mechanical problems through the principle of virtual work
- How to derive analytical solutions for basic boundary-value problems
- How advanced constitutive models can describe the unusual behavior of exotic metamaterials
