Lecture

Continuum Mechanics: EPFL Research Labs and Applications

Description

This lecture introduces the continuum hypothesis in the context of car traffic and explores open research questions in continuum mechanics at EPFL. Topics include the interplay of geometry and mechanics, fracture of rock with fluid pressure, stability of turbulent fluid flows, vortex dynamics, and fluid-structure interaction. The lecture also covers the study of friction, fracture, bio-implants, bio-robotics, soft robots, and earthquakes using continuum mechanics. Various EPFL labs investigate these topics, emphasizing the importance of continuum mechanics in mechanical sciences.
