APN 671 Mechanics of Deformable Media

This course will cover the basics of the theory of elasticity and fluid mechanics with a focus on applications in condensed matter systems. We will discuss the elastic moduli, kinematics of deformable media, the stress and strain tensors, energy of deformation, static and dynamic problems in elasticity, viscosity, surface tension, Laplace pressure, and the Navier-Stokes equation and its applications.
