Deformation

In this course, we discuss how to mathematically describe the distortion that solids and fluids undergo. We cover important topics such as (i) deformation of curves, surfaces and volumes; (ii) measures of strain; (iii) polar decomposition and (iv) rate of deformation. On completing this course, we will have a better understanding of the kinematics that underlies continuum mechanics.

This course was created for Ansys Innovation Courses by Professor Krishna Garikipati and Dr. Gregory Teichert, University of Michigan, in partnership with Ansys.

A course completion badge allows you to showcase your success. We partner with Credly’s Acclaim platform, and digital badges can be used in email signatures, digital resumes and social media sites. The digital image contains verified metadata that describes your participation in our course and the topics and skills that were covered. This badge is for successfully completing the Deformation course.
