Description

• Motion of continuum body in lagrangian description and in eulerian description. Properties of the mapping function F of the initial configuration onto the current configuration. Construction of the strain tensors in finite strain theory (Green, Almansi, Hencky, etc.) and the associated stress tensors (Cauchy, Kirschhoff, PKII).

• Introduction of materials derivative of a tensor field. Local and global conservation of mass, momentum and energy, applied in solids and fluid statics and dynamics. Variational formulations and principle of virtual power.

• Applications in elasticity, newtonian fluids, Navier-Stockes equation, local state thermodynamics, inequality of Clausius-Duhem.

• Energy theorems and introduction to finite element method.
