| Learning Outcomes |
At the end of this course, the students;
- Explain the fundamental principles of continuum mechanics and constitutive theory used in computational mechanics of materials,
- Formulate and implement one-dimensional constitutive material models within an implicit nonlinear finite element framework,
- Analyze and evaluate the numerical response of materials by using return mapping algorithms and consistent tangent operators.
