deformationmechanicsmustberedefinedtoremainmeaningful.

This course provides the mathematical and physical basis for a proper analysis of large deformation
problems. Equilibrium conditions and stress and strain measures are derived with respect to the
deformed and undeformed configuration. Special consideration is given to the formulation in finite
element technology with a total or updated Lagrangian approach or with an Arbitrary Lagrangian
Eulerian(ALE)formulation.
