Mechanics of materials focuses on quantitative description of the motion and deformation of solid materials subjected to forces, temperature changes, electrical voltage or other external stimuli. At ...
Research in mechanics of solids mainly includes fundamental theory (elasticity, plasticity, variational principles, fatigue and fracture of materials and structures,and inelastic constitutive ...
Fracture mechanics in heterogeneous materials encompasses the study of crack initiation and propagation in systems comprising multiple constituent phases or layers with differing mechanical properties ...
Professor Lowe’s research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of mechanics, materials, structures, and computational modeling. A particular focus of his research group is the ...
Damage mechanics of composite materials is concerned with the various damage mechanisms, their evolution under thermomechanical loading, and their effect on the elastic, failure, and fatigue behavior ...
The Mechanics and Materials (MM) emphasis in the Department of Mechanical Engineering allows students to explore the science of materials and how those materials move and deform in response to ...
The Mechanics of Multi-scale Materials research group uncovers the relationships of structures across the full range of engineering scales, from the molecular to the macro. In addition to established ...
CU Boulder News & Events: Mechanics of Materials & Materials MS Focus Area
Mechanics of materials is an area focusing on quantitative description of the motion and deformation of solid materials subjected to forces, temperature changes, electrical voltage or other external ...
Two main modern developments in mechanics are general relativity of Einstein, and quantum mechanics, both developed in the 20th century based in part on earlier 19th-century ideas.
