Mechanical Modeling of Materials - WiSe 23/24 [125501]

Several advanced issues of the mechanical behavior of materials are addressed in this course. More precisely, the following topics will be covered:

• Basic concepts of continuum mechanics (introduction)
• Introduction to the rheology of materials
• Theoretical concepts of constitutive modeling
• 1-dimensional constitutive approaches for
  1. Elasticity, hyperelasticity
  2. Inelasticity (plasticity, damage, viscoelasticity)
• 3-dimensional generalization of material modeling concepts
• Simple boundary and initial value problems
