SYEN 4371 - Introductory Continuum Mechanics

This introductory course on Continuum Mechanics will take a unified approach to train the student in the modeling of deformation in solids, fluid flow, and electrical fields. Using a first principles approach, the fundamental conservation laws of mass, charge, momentum and energy will be covered. Application to deformation in solids, heat transfer, fluid flow and electrical fields will be addressed.

Prerequisites: MATH 2453 and MATH 3322 or their equivalent, PHYS 231 and PHYS 3300 or their equivalent.
