Elasticity, Spring 1998

These are materials for the course "Elasticity" taught by Jonathan Goodman in the Spring term of 1998 at the Courant Institute at NYU. The course meets . from 1:20pm. until 3:10pm Monday afternoons.

Course description:

Basic continuum mechanics: Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions, elastic energy, stress and strain, elastic waves. Asympototics and stability analysis of beams and shells. Notions of convexity in nonlinear elasticity. Models of plasticity, strain localization and failure. Composite materials and smart materials.
More materials will be posted when the course is going.
