mechanical work in micropolar continuous media

The mechanical behavior of materials is usually simulated by the continuous mechanics approach.

My research interests lie in the general area of the mechanics of deformable solids.

In order to incorporate bio-physico-chemical phenomena in continuous mechanics, further developments of simulation in fluid mechanics and transport phenomena is necessary.

Continuum mechanics is a branch of mechanics that deals with the analysis of the kinematics and the mechanical behavior of materials modeled as a continuous mass on a large scale rather than as distinct particles.

To develop the concepts of the mechanical analysis of composite materials and structures one needs the basic theory of the mechanics of deformable media.

The course presents the fundamental concepts of continuum mechanics in a general three-dimensional framework.

Tensors are used also in other fields such as continuum mechanics.
