    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.
