Explores the wave equation for a vibrating string and its numerical solution using finite difference formulas and the Newmark scheme in MATLAB/GNU Octave.
Explores deformation and fatigue under cyclic stresses in materials, including plastic deformation, cyclic hardening, and the influence of environmental factors.
Discusses axial constraints and material deformations in structural engineering, focusing on stress, strain, and the behavior of materials under various loading conditions.
Explores computational modeling of realistic microstructures, microstructure characterization, and finite element analysis for studying mechanical behavior.
Explores metal plasticity mechanisms, including hardening by solid solution and precipitation, dislocation forests, and polymer behavior in relation to temperature and deformation speed.
Explores plasticity in single crystals, including mechanisms of plastic flow and strain hardening, with a focus on dislocation behavior and geometrically necessary dislocations.
