In the field of experimental solid mechanics – a discipline that focuses on understanding and measuring the physical properties of different materials – researchers have traditionally relied on ...

Solid mechanics is the branch of continuum mechanics that focuses on analysing the behaviour of materials and structures under applied loads. It encompasses a rigorous study of stress and strain, ...

Lectures and readings focus on bridges, railroads, power plants, steamboats, telegraph, highways, automobiles, aircraft, computers, and the microchip. Historical analysis provides a basis for studying ...

A number of powerful FE packages (ABAQUS, COMSOL, FEniCS, …) offer the possibility to solve complex problems (material/structural nonlinearities, multiphysics, …). The different computational methods ...

Detonation loading in cylindrical structures is a complex phenomenon that involves the rapid exposure of components to high-pressure shock waves generated by explosive events. This process not only ...

Computational models and simulations have had an important role in engineering analysis since as far back as the 1960s. It is widely recognized that the use of modeling and simulation tools can make ...

The ME Course Column is a recurring publication about the unique classes and labs that mechanical engineers can take while at the University of Colorado Boulder. Follow the series to understand the ...

Why obtain a graduate certificate from the University of Colorado Boulder's Department of Mechanical Engineering? If you are not a degree-seeking student at the university, you may apply for a ...

Bristol has a successful history of using applied mechanics and cutting-edge technology to help define and solve industrially motivated challenges. The Solid Mechanics Research Group (SMRG) has ...
