Theory of Elasticity ME 6102: Semester II - 2003

This document outlines the scope and curriculum for the Theory of Elasticity ME 6102 course at the National University of Singapore taught by Prof. Mordechai Perl. The course aims to provide students with the mathematical and physical principles of elasticity theory through examples, as well as solution strategies for applying elasticity to practical cases. Over 13 lectures, topics will include tensor algebra, stress, strain, constitutive equations, plane problems, torsion, strain energy, and thermoelasticity. Students will be evaluated based on homework assignments, a midterm exam, and a final exam. The primary references for the course are books by Timoshenko and Sokolnikoff.

Theory of Elasticity ME 6102


Semester II - 2003
Scope
The Theory of Elasticity plays today an important role in the design of
structure from the more conventional ones such as buildings, machines, and
cars, to the most sophisticated structures such as aircrafts, satellites, and the
space shuttle. Using Elasticity in the design process enables to attain more
efficient structure as it can provide accurate values for the stress, strains and
displacements even for structures of complicated geometries and loadings.
The present course has two aims:
(a) To provide the student with the mathematical and physical principles of
Theory of Elasticity using a large gamut of examples.
(b) To provide the student with various solution strategies while applying
them to practical cases.
