Mechanics of Materials and of Biological Systems

  • Nonlinear solid mechanics: finite elasticity and elasto-plasticity
  • Soft matter elasticity: polymers, liquid crystals, granular materials
  • Electro-magneto-mechanically coupled systems
  • Variational methods fracture mechanics
  • Scientific computing
  • Mechanics of biological systems
  • Stokes Equations

Topics in continuum mechanics

This is a 60-hours introductory course on continuum mechanics and its applications. The aim is to provide first year students with a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of the subject.

Topics in Continuum Mechanics

  • Reminders on linear algebra and tensor calculus
  • Kinematics of deformable bodies
  • Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptions of motion
  • Balance laws of continuum mechanics: conservation of mass, balance of linear and angular momentum, energy balance and dissipation inequality
  • Constitutive equations
  • Fluid dynamics: the Navier Stokes equations
  • Solid mechanics: nonlinear and linearized elasticity
  • Selected topics from the mechanics of biological systems

POR FESR, "Underwater Blue Efficiency 2"

SISSA, è Partner del progetto UBE 2 (Underwater Blue Efficiency 2) che, come progetto di ricerca e sviluppo nell’ambito delle Tecnologie Marittime, è cofinanziato dal Fondo Europeo per lo Sviluppo Regionale.

European Industrial Doctorates, "Reduced Order Modelling, Simulation and Optimization of Coupled Systems"

ROMSOC is a European Industrial Doctorate (EID) project in the programme Innovative Training Networks (ITN) and part of Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions within the Horizon 2020 programme. The ROMSOC EID Network brings together 15 international academic institutions and 11 industry partners and supports the recruitment of eleven Early Stage Researchers (ESRs). Each ESR will be working on an individual research project in the host institution with secondments related to their research in other academic and industrial partners of the network.
