The course provides an understanding of the mathematical description of non-linear material behaviour. The student will be provided with the mathematical tools necessary for establishing material models as well as the numerical background necessary for the numerical implementation.

In the course, non-linear material models are considered, as well as the numerical issues when the models are implemented into a non-linear finite element program.
In the course the following subjects are considered:
The projects, in which non linear material problems are considered, consist of an analytical part and a numerical part. In the numerical part the material model is implemented. The program is then used for describing the response of a structure.
Grading scale: TH
Assessment: The course is given in seminar form and treats modern aspects of constitutive modelling. Two project assignments should be solved in the course. Examination is based on the two project assignments and a final written exam. The projects consider materially non-linear problems, containing both a theoretical and a numerical part, which are used to solve a practical problem. The three parts will then provide a final grade.
