Mechanics of continuum 1300-WMOC21
The lecture is designed to:
• formulate assumptions of continuum mechanics,
• formulate the basis of tensor calculus,
• introduce the concepts of vector, displacement, deformation tensor, small deformations of tensor, the physical interpretation of deformation tensor components,
• a description of state of stress, stress tensor, the major stresses, stress deviator,
• steady-state of continuous medium, local equilibrium equations,
• the principle of conservation: mass, momentum, angular momentum, energy, and the resulting of them: mass continuity equation, equations of motion, the symmetry of the stress tensor,
• elements of the constitutive equations. Selected models of continuous media: ideal liquid, viscous liquid, elastic solids, models of destruction.
