The unit provides fundamental aspects of the mechanical behaviour of engineering materials, illustrated by realistic engineering calculations. You will learn how to make predictions of material responses using simple elastic, plastic and creep models. You will be given an introduction to general three-dimensional non-linear analysis of solids using tensors. You will learn how complex material behaviour is simulated by numerical methods, in particular by finite elements. The course uses as a foundation the principles and fundamentals established in the first two years of Properties of Materials and Mechanics of Materials.
