Mechanics of Continuous Media
This lecture covers the fundamentals of mechanics of continuous media, focusing on topics such as Neumann problems, Copeo, and the concept of stress. The instructor discusses the application of these concepts in various scenarios, emphasizing the importance of boundary conditions and equilibrium. The lecture also delves into torsion revisited, emphasizing the approach of Phandal and aerodynamics. The content progresses to discuss constraint functions, strain energy, and the concept of Green's identity. The lecture concludes with a detailed exploration of membrane analogies and the concept of potential energy.
