			61225	Lecture-Discussion	CML	1:00PM -2:50PM	TR	2051 Sidney Lu Mech Engr Bldg	Luetkemeyer, C	Availability: Open (Restricted) Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/24/26-12/09/26 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Mechanics of Solid Polymers Section Info: This is a graduate level course intended for students with experience in continuum mechanics who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanical behavior of solid macromolecular materials. Constitutive theories intended for modeling the mechanical response of elastomers, bioelastomers, filled rubbers, polymer composites, and biological tissues will be discussed. Experimental and computational methods for quantifying constitutive parameters will be stressed. Types of material responses covered include hyperelasticity, anisotropy, linear viscoelasticity, and nonlinear viscoelasticity. Prerequisite TAM 445 or TAM 551 Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
