Nonlinear mechanics for undergraduates (INVITED)

Abstract eng:
Nonlinear mechanics is fundamental discipline which drives developments in science and engineering. However, there is only one comprehensive nonlinear mechanics course in all English speaking countries offered to the undergraduate students. The course was developed in 2013 at the University of Aberdeen and was given for the first time to a class of over 70 students in 2014. The course introduces the fundamentals of nonlinear mechanics, which are essential for understanding and modelling nonlinear engineering systems using computational mechanics methods such as finite element method, computational nonlinear dynamics and computational fluid dynamics. This paper describes the course and shares some initial teaching experience.
