Course Overview
The Computational Continuum Mechanics online course is a 12 weeks AICTE approved program provided by Swayam under an initiative by the government of India. Continuum mechanics is a fascinating but difficult subject. The subject includes nonlinear finite elements which are usually unclear to the learner. Computational continuum mechanics training attempts to fill this void. As a result, it may be thought of as an applied form of a continuum mechanics program. It is assumed that candidates have no prior knowledge of continuum mechanics. The course begins with a solid foundation in kinematics, tensors, and kinetics.
The Computational Continuum Mechanics training includes various principles to establish the constitutive relations for the basic hyperelastic material analysis of nonlinear finite elements. Following that, the linearization of the weak version of the equilibrium equations is described and discretized to get the finite element equations, namely the residual vectors and tangent matrices. The Computational Continuum Mechanics syllabus includes the Newton-Raphson solution process, as well as arc length methods and line search for improving the solution procedure.
