Differential Geometry: SurfacesExplores the differential geometry of parametric surfaces, covering tangent space, normal curvature, principal curvatures, and asymptotic curves.
Gaussian Curvature and GeodesicsExplores the derivative of curve lengths, fixed-end deformations, geodesics, surface point typologies, and sphere parametrization.
Shells ICovers linear pressure vessels, thin shells, and critical buckling pressure, emphasizing the dimensional reduction from 3D to 2D.
Plates I: Deformation and EnergyCovers the deformation of plates in pure bending, total strain energy, and wrinkling phenomena, exploring applications and implications of substrate stiffness on wrinkling.
Beams under FlexureDiscusses stresses in beams under flexure, including shear forces and bending moments.
Normal CurvatureExplores normal curvature on a surface, discussing oriented curvature, existence proofs, and elimination methods for finding curvature.
