The aim of this course is to enable graduate students to understand the fundamental law of physicsapplicable to a continuous medium and to develop the liner theory. This course will provide students with an introduction to Cartesian tensors, a study of stress at a point in a continuum, the analysis of deformation and kinetics, and the fundamental laws of mechanics.
Vectors and Tensors in Cartesian Coordinates, Stress, Deformation and Kinematics,General Principles, Balance Equations.

| 2. | be able to use tensor analysis both in Cartesian and curvilinear coordinate systems |
| 3. | be able to apply and evaluate the most common stress, strain and deformation measures |
| 4. | be able to explain and apply fundamental conception as the deformation gradient, displacement gradient, material and local time derivatives, rate of deformation and stress tensor |
| 5. | describe the fundamental balance equations and conservation laws for a deformable body |
| 6. | be able to explain the fundamental results in the general theory of constitutive relations |
| 7. | describe and apply the general equations for some kind of fluid and elastic bodies and be familiar with some advanced constitutive relations |
| 8. | Be able to solve simple boundary value problems for fluids and solids |
| 9. | gain mathematical and physical restrictions on material theories |
| 10. | understand scientific articles with continuum mechanical formulation |
