ME (CE) 8780 - Inelastic Material Modeling

3 Credits (3 Contact Hours)
Many natural and engineered materials such as soils, concrete, metals, and biomaterials generally exhibit an irreversible (inelastic) behavior such that when an applied load is removed, only a fraction of the deformation is recovered. This course focuses on constituitive models developed for inelastic materials, their implementation within nonlinear finite element programs, and applications in various engineering disciplines. Equal emphasis is placed on the theory behind inelastic material models and their computational implementation and applications.
  May also be offered as CE 8780 .
