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.
