Description: Tensor-based introduction to continuum mechanics. The course covers important concepts in tensor calculus, kinematics and strain, stress and constitutive theories of continua, including elasticity, Newtonian fluids, viscoelasticity, and mixture theory. Selective topics in bone, articular cartilage, circulation and micromechanic will be discussed to illustrate the application of continuum mechanics to bioengineering problems.
