The course deals with the mechanics of elastic solids based on the
calculus on variations. The goal is to provide the foundations for understanding
of the partial differential equations arising from elasticity theory and to
support courses on numerical methods.
The general theory of
elasticity (stress, strain, equilibrium)
An introduction to calculus
of variations
The variational
principles of elasticity
Thin structures (bending and
torsion of beams, plates)
Dynamics of beams and plates
Elastic stability
(buckling of beams and plates).

Feng Kang,
Shi Zhong-Ci. Mathematical theory of
