Graduate Program in Engineering Mechanics
The Department of Engineering Mechanics offers programs leading to the degree of Master of Science in Engineering Mechanics and to the unified Doctor of Philosophy degree in Engineering (Engineering Mechanics). The program of study places strong emphasis on expanding a student's knowledge and understanding of the fundamental engineering sciences. This is combined with more advanced study and is associated with the mathematical and physical sciences. A student's study program is closely related to the research portion of the program. Areas of research are:
- Analytic mechanics: dynamics, vibrations, nonlinear mechanics and stress waves.
- Computational mechanics: meshfree methods, finite and boundary element methods, shape and material optimization, inverse and ill-posed problems in engineering, numerical methods for multi-scale and multi-physics problems, high performance computing for computational mechanics, materials science, and bio and nano-mechanics.
- Mechanics of materials: mechanics of metals, ceramics, polymers, ice, biomaterials, and composites.
- Mechanics of solids: linear and nonlinear elasticity, plasticity, viscoelasticity, micromechanics, thermodynamics, electrodynamics, damage and fracture mechanics.
