ME6320 (Mechanics of Soft Materials) course reviews and ratings at Northeastern (NEU). Compare professors with RateMyProfessor reviews.
Covers the fundamental continuum mechanics theory of finite elastic deformation in soft materials formed by crosslinked polymer networks such as gels and elastomers, as well as the coupling effects from other physical fields (chemical, electrical, thermal, etc.) that enable novel functionalities. Emphasizes continuum mechanics, interfacing statistical mechanics, polymer physics, thermodynamics, and other chemical and physical disciplines. Lectures incorporate state-of-the-art research in mechanics of soft materials to offer students a broad and contemporary overview of the field.
