NE 360 Continuum Mechanics for Nuclear Engineers
狈贰听360听听Continuum Mechanics for Nuclear Engineers听听(3 credit hours)听听
This course introduces stresses, displacements, strains, and strain-rates of systems subjected to applied loads. While these are traditionally covered in most mechanical and civil engineering curricula, the emphasis of this course is to cover advanced mechanics for nuclear applications and provide students with familiarity and hands on experience with finite element analysis software. It combines solid and fluid mechanics with models of material behavior to determine adequacy of nuclear systems design and analysis. It will be valuable for the senior capstone design class and is a prerequisite for 狈贰听409, which focuses on atomistic and microstructural descriptions of nuclear materials.
