Korn inequalities are central to the mathematical framework underpinning elasticity theory, providing essential bounds that relate the deformation of a material to the symmetrised gradient of its ...

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 ...

In a crystalline solid, the atoms form an ordered lattice. Crystalline solids respond elastically to small deformations: When the applied strain is removed, the macroscopic stress, as well as the ...

Quasicrystals, exotic states of matter characterized by an ordered structure with non-repeating spatial patterns, have been the focus of numerous recent physics studies due to their unique ...

As a grape slowly dries and shrivels, its surface creases, ultimately taking on the wrinkled form of a raisin. Similar patterns can be found on the surfaces of other dried materials, as well as in ...

Description: This course focuses on the mechanics of linear elastic solids. Topics covered include, but not limited to, (1) Formulation of the elastic problem for isotropic and anisotropic materials, ...
