CE 302 Advanced Mechanics of Solids II

CE 182 Mechanics of Materials

Course Description: Introduce students to the theory and application of the fundamentals of mechanics of materials. Normal and shear stresses, stress-strain relations, axially loaded members (statically determinant and indeterminant), torsion, beams deflections, stress transformations, buckling and stability of columns are taught. The course will help enhance the students’ problem-solving skills. After completing the course, students will be prepared for advanced courses in structural engineering and design.
Semesters Taught: Fall 2008-2010, Fall 2013

CE 299 Multiscale Modeling

Course Description: This course will introduce the students with the state-of-the-art and emerging multiscale computational methods in modeling of mechanics and transport phenomena. The students will be exposed to the principles of information transfer between multiple spatial and temporal scales, including atomistic-to-continuum coupling, continuum-to-continuum coupling, and temporal bridging. Enrichment methods such as generalized finite elements and multiscale enrichment based on partition of unity will be covered. At the end of the course, the students will be equipped with knowledge and tools needed to solve complex engineering problems exhibiting multiple temporal and spatial scales.
Semesters Taught: Fall 2013, Fall 2014
