Nonlinear elasticity theory plays a fundamental role in modeling the mechanical response of many polymeric and biological materials. This course begins with an overview of continuum mechanics theory and proceeds to specialise the material to the needs of modelling nonlinear elastic materials. It concludes with a look at how the ...
