Explores deformation and fatigue under cyclic stresses in materials, including plastic deformation, cyclic hardening, and the influence of environmental factors.
Explores plasticity in single crystals, including mechanisms of plastic flow and strain hardening, with a focus on dislocation behavior and geometrically necessary dislocations.
Covers continuum mechanics, forces transmission, energy conservation, solid deformation, and tensor calculus, emphasizing the symmetry of principle strains and the geometric interpretation of eigen vectors.
