Course Objectives
This course aims to
-
equip students with essential knowledge about theoretical and computational mechanics of elastic and inelastic solids that exhibit non-linear behavior,
-
make students assimilate the key role of elastic and inelastic material routines within the modular structure of an implicit non-linear finite element code in the three-dimensional setting,
-
teach students how to employ the essential numerical and programming techniques to
computationally implement complex inelastic material models with internal variables.

Taking this course, the students will
-
have an essential background on the theoretical and computational mechanics of non-linear elastic and inelastic materials,
-
be able to critically assess the thermodynamic consistency of an inelastic material model within the three-dimensional framework of thermodynamics with internal variables,
-
be qualified to construct algorithmic update equations for the internal variables of an inelastic model and to derive the three-dimensional tensorial stress and consistent tangent expressions,
-
be in a position to implement an inelastic material model into a three-dimensional finite element
code and solve (initial) boundary-value problems of continuum mechanics.
