CIVL-6780

Numerical Modeling of Failure Processes in Materials

State-of-the-art in computational modeling of failure processes in materials. Topics include numerical modeling of discrete defects, distributed damage and multiscale computational techniques including multiple scale perturbation techniques, boundary layer techniques, and various global-local approaches. (Cross listed as MANE-6780.) Prerequisite: CIVL-6660 or MANE-6660. Spring term even-numbered years.
