| Course Objectives | The students, through this course, will master the principles of plastic deformation of solids, mainly metals. The course will introduce the students with the continuum aspects of plastic deformation; yet the micromechanics will be out of scope. |
| Course Learning Outcomes |
The students who succeeded in this course;
|
| Course Content | Vector and tensor calculus; general concepts about mechanics of materials-stress and strain concept; continuum deformation: displacement, strain and compatibility conditions; mechanics of continuous bodies: stress and stress equation of motion; elastic constitutive relations; inelastic constitutive relations; yield criteria, flow rules and hardenin |
