    This document provides information about the CE 520 - Continuum Mechanics course offered at Duke University in Fall 2018. It lists the instructor, class meeting times and location, office hours, required and reference textbooks. The course will cover 7 topics related to continuum mechanics, including index notation, stress and strain tensors, conservation laws, constitutive equations, and coupled multi-physics processes. There will be two midterm exams, weekly homework assignments, and a final exam. Grades will be calculated as a combination of exam and homework scores.

    There will be two mid semester tests and a final examination. All will be
    take home.
    The first test will be held after we will be done with Section 1. The date
    will be agreed some 10-7 days before the test. The second test will be
    held after Section 3 and will cover Sec. 2 & 3.
    The Final test will cover the material of the entire semester. It will be given
    at the last days of the semester.

    Homework is a substantial part of your work. The assignments will in general be given
    weekly and collected for review. You are expected to turn in all the assignments. You
    may miss only one in the entire semester.

    Grading: Final grade = 0.25 (Test 1 + Test 2) + 0.30 Final Exam


    + 0.20 (Homework)
