Description
The Department of Engineering Mechanics offers a Master of Science and doctoral-level study is available through the College of Engineering's unified Ph.D. program in engineering. More than two-thirds of the department's graduate students are enrolled in the Ph.D. program. The engineering mechanics program fosters an interdisciplinary spirit and broad foundation through course work in mechanics, advanced mathematics, and related disciplines such as materials science, physics, computer science, and engineering design.
The program has a very strong emphasis on materials and the role of mechanics and related fields in development and analysis of new materials. Participation in research is strongly emphasized and begins early in the curriculum.
Areas of research include: analytical mechanics (dynamics, vibrations, nonlinear mechanics and stress waves); computational mechanics (finite element, boundary element methods, and meshless methods); mechanics of materials (mechanics of metals, ceramics, polymers, biomaterials, composites, and nanofibers); and mechanics of solids (linear and nonlinear elasticity, plasticity, viscoelasticity, micromechanics, thermodynamics, electrodynamics, damage and fracture mechanics). Specialized laboratories and computer facilities are available.
