In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by Hooke's law: s = E e. E is an elastic constant, Young's modulus. A material exhibiting this behavior over ...

Materials like clay or putty usually show non-linear extension. Linear extension and elastic deformation can be seen below the elastic limit.

The objective of this course is to introduce graduate and senior undergraduate students to advanced topics in linear elasticity. Students will build on the knowledge gained through all mechanics ...
