At the end of the course, students are expected to learn:
the fundamentals of constitutive modeling of deformable solid materials,
how microstructural mechanisms influence the macroscopic mechanical response in different materials,
various kinds of elastic and inelastic, e.g., plastic, viscoplastic, viscoelastic, material responses,
fundamentals of viscoelasticity, rate-independent plasticity, rate-dependent plasticity (viscoplasticity), and damage mechanics,
how to develop constitutive models that can be used in commercial/research finite element software for the analysis of complex aerospace structures and components.
