Continuum Physics

This learning track was developed by Professor Krishna Garikipati and Dr. Gregory Teichert, University of Michigan, in partnership with Ansys. The idea for these courses on continuum physics grew out of a short series of talks on materials physics at the University of Michigan. Those talks were aimed at advanced graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and faculty colleagues. From this group, the suggestion emerged that a somewhat complete set of lectures on continuum aspects of materials physics would be useful. Given their origin, they are meant to be early steps on a path of research in continuum physics for the entrant to this area, and a second opinion for the more seasoned exponent of the science. Also, there is potential use of this series as an enabler of more widespread research in continuum physics.

A track completion digital badge allows you to showcase your expertise and get recognized globally. We partner with the Credly Acclaim platform. Digital badges can be used in email signatures, digital resumes, social and professional media. The digital image contains verified metadata that describes your participation in the specific learning track consisting of multiple courses. This digital badge is for successfully completing the Continuum Physics track.
