The course E2 advances the topics of the core course C2 "Computational Mechanics of Materials". It is structured into three parts Computational Mechanics of Three-Dimensional Material Models at Small Strains. Micro-Mechanically-Based Material Models and Homogenization Methods. Computational Mechanics of Solid Materials at Large Strains. Thermodynamics of a General Internal Variable Formulation of Inelasticity at Small Strains. Linear and Nonlinear Elasticity (Isotopic Spectral Forms, Anisotropic Models based on Structural Tensors). Finite Element Implementation of Nonlinear Elasticity. Viscoelasticity (Linear and Nonlinear Models, Stress Update Algorithms and Consistent Linearization). Rate-Independent and Rate-Dependent Plasticity (Theoretical Formulations, Stress Update Algorithms and Local Variational Formulations, Consistent Linearization). Micro-Mechanically-Based Models of Plasticity for Crystalline Solids. Introduction to Homogenization Methods and Micro-To-Macro Transitions. General Internal Variable Formulation of Inelasticity at Large Strains. Approaches to the Modelling and Numerics Finite Elasticity and Finite Viscoelasticity.
