PHYS422 - Continuum Mechanics
Course Description
A second semester of Newtonian mechanics. It begins with the description, statics and dynamics of deformable solids, and proceeds to the mechanics of fluids. Topics include statics; equilibrium conditions, simple deformations, inertia and stress tensors and deformations in general, review of Lagrange and Hamilton techniques, coupled harmonic oscillators and normal modes, theory of small oscillations, mechanics of the vibrating string, mechanics of fluids; ideal fluid approximations, sound , viscosity and the dynamics of viscous fluids.
