In this course, we begin by discussing what variational principles are and how they can be applied to nonlinear elasticity. We then apply variational derivatives for nonlinear elasticity to develop the weak form of balance of linear momentum for static problems. Finally, we use integration by parts to transform this weak form into the strong form of nonlinear elasticity.
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 Variational Principles course.
