This course will provide advanced knowledge of the fundamental concepts of the mechanics of material and spatial descriptions of motion of a continuous medium. Topics wwill include, but not limited to, kinematics of finite deformation, definitions of stress, balance principles: mass, momentum, and energy and general theory of constitutive equations. This course will facilitate further study in specialized fields such as aerodynamics, mechanics of viscous fluids, elasticity, plasticity, and continuum damage mechanics in mechanical and biomedical engineering.

Prerequisites: ENGR2100, ENGR3300, and MATH3420
