This course aims at providing students with basic concepts of solid continuum mechanics and experimental mechanics.
At the end of the course, the students will be able to :
- Understand the basic concepts of solid continuum mechanics: strain and stress fields, how they relate and how they can be measured.
- Estimate
analytically the stress-strain fields by solving a simple static problem
of elasticity under small perturbation assumptions and apply basic
elastic criteria to characterise the limit of elasticity of a solid
body.
- Use the main experimental techniques for elastic parameter identification (classical technique, ultrasonic technique and digital image correlation)
