ENGN 2240: Linear Elasticity - Fall 2016

ENGN 2240: Linear Elasticity is a graduate level course focusing on fundamental theories and applications of linear elasticity. Students will spend 3 hours per week in class for 14 weeks, with an estimated 10 hours per week of additional work outside of class. The course covers governing equations of linear elasticity, theorems, static and dynamic boundary value problems, energy methods, and elasticity of anisotropic materials. Evaluation is based on homework, a midterm exam, and a final exam.
