Course Objectives

This course aims to
- equip students with fundamental knowledge about theoretical and computational mechanics of materials and constitutive theory,
- make students assimilate the role of an material routine within the canonical structure of an implicit non-linear finite element code in the one-dimensional setting,
- teach students how to employ the essential numerical and programming techniques to implement complex inelastic material models with history variables.
Course Learning Outcomes
- - Apply basic discretization techniques to recast a continuous differential equation into a system of algebraic equations.
  - Use basic iterative methods to solve nonlinear equations.
  - Derive and employ the fundamental balance laws of thermomechanics.
  - Construct algorithms to update the internal variables of an inelastic material model.
  - Derive stress and consistent tangent expressions of (in)elastic material models.
  - Implement thermal, elastic and inelastic material models into a 1-D non-linear FE code and solve (initial) boundary-value problems.
