ALAIMO GIANLUCA - 1 ECTS
CONTI MICHELE - 2 ECTS
Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of algebra, solid mechanics (concepts
introduction of deformation and tension), of numerical calculation.
Learning outcomes

The module aims to introduce the student to the study and use of
analytical and numerical mathematical models for the description of the
constitutive behavior of materials.
Starting from a general framework of the theory of bodies
deformable, the development of elastic and inelastic models will be addressed
(discussing visco-elasticity models, visco-plasticity, plasticity, with
possible extensions to the case of damage and fatigue), for isotropic and non-isotropic materials,
also giving hints to the problems for their solution in
numerical area.
The mechanical tests to be performed for the calibration of the models will also be discussed.

Review of tensor algebra
Fundamentals of deformable bodies kinematics. Deformation analysis. Equilibrium. Specialization in the case of small displacement gradients.
Fundamental principles for the development of constitutive models: invariance
of the observer and material symmetry
Elastic models in small deformations: Cauchy elasticity and Green elasticity. Development of models for different material symmetries:
isotropic materials, materials with one family of fibers, materials with two families of fibers.
Extension to the case of large deformations.
Development of a calculation program (for example in matlab) for the
simulation of strain and / or stress control stories.
Application to the case of particular classes of materials (for example,
polymers, composite materials, soft biological tissues, etc.).
Comparison with
experimental data and development of a determination program
automatic constitutive parameters.
Inelastic models in small deformations: visco-elasticity, visco-plasticity,
classical plasticity, plasticity with isotropic hardening e
kinematic.
Integration schemes numerical solution and program development
of calculation (for example, in matlab) for the simulation of stories to control of
deformation and / or tension.
Application to the case of particular classes of inelastic materials (for
example, metallic materials, concrete, etc.). Comparison with data experimental.
Basic knowledge of damage and fatigue of materials will be provided as well.
Teaching methods

Taught lesson; when required, the implementation of the proposed models will be performed using computer.
Reccomended or required readings

numerical final project.
