In the spring term 2005 I will lecture the course
The course
deals with the mechanics of elastic solids based on the calculus on variations.
The goal is to provide the foundations for understanding the partial
differential equations arising from elasticity theory and also to support
courses on numerical methods.
Exercise points can be found here
