Anwendungsorientierte Materialtheorien (Material Models in Solid Mechanics)

  • type: lecture / exercises
  • semester: winter semester
  • sws: 2 / 2
  • ects: 6
  • lv-no.: 6215801

Syllabus:

  • basics of continuum mechanics
  • general purpose of material laws
  • elasticity (isotropy / anisotropy)
  • phenomenology of inelastic material behavior (creep / relaxation, plastic deformation, rate-dependence, plastic dilatancy, damage)
  • concepts of constitutive modeling (internal variables, yield condition, flow rule, hardening laws, incremental constitutive equations)
  • material theories: viscoelasticity, plasticity, viscoplasticity
  • applications: metals, geomaterials, concrete, polymers, wood


Aims: Numerous tasks in engineering require a theoretical description of a material's behavior beyond the elastic range. The course focuses on the continuum mechanical description of various kinds of inelastic material behavior. Besides the different phenomena their physical origins are also discussed.

Exam: oral

Audience: students of civil and mechanical engineering, PhD students

Prerequisite: Introduction to continuum mechanics, advanced engineering mathematics
