The discovery of superconductor in 1911 can be marked as the inception of contemporary solid state physics. The quest for understanding the mechanism behind superconductivity lasted for decades, until the BCS theory finally arrived in 1957. However, the endeavor to discover high-Tc superconductor continued till today. The rich variations of novel solid state materials also emerged during the past 50 years, with the advancement of materials growth technology. In this course, we will start from some advanced languages of solid state physics such as second quantization and Hubbard model, then discuss several materials systems using these new tools.

When a body is subjected to external loads, internal stress is induced in the

body and the body deforms accordingly. If the body restores its original shape

as the external loads are removed, it is called an elastic body. On the other

hand, if the loading is so large such that permanent deformation takes place,

the response of the body is inelastic. Usually engineering materials are

designed to behave in the elastic range. The objective of the course is to

discuss methods that can be used to analyze the stress and deformation of

elasitic bodies under external loading.

The students should acquire the following knowledge as the semester ends:

1. various measures to describe the deformation of a body, the physical meanings and the transformation of these measures, and compatibility condtions of strains.

2. relation between stress vector and stress tensor; equations of motion, principal stress, and maximum shearing stress.

3. hyperelastic materials and the generalized Hooke’s law, isotropic materials, and the relation between elastic constants and engineering constants.

4. formulation of elasticity problems in rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems, and the principle of virtual work.

5. analysis of problems with only on independent variables, such as a spherical shell subjected to internal pressure.

6. analysis of plane strain and plane stress problems, and the airy stress function.

7. analysis of torsion problems.

8. analysis of bending problems and the Timoshenko beam theory.

Acoustic is interdisciplinary science, that studies propagation of waves in gases, solids, fluids. Acoustic is presented in almost all aspects our life and engineering (noise, underwater acoustics, medical, architectural and musical acoustics, etc ). This course will cover recent advances in nonlinear acoustics, and some trends in computational nonlinear acoustics. Although linear acoustics is much easier to describe, however experiments showed that in real life nonlinear effects play important role and cannot be avoided. The current trends in the modern acoustic is to use nonlinear effects in order to increase the efficiency and accuracy of the methods or to improve the development of the devices. For example, second harmonic imaging can improve diagnostic ultrasound, nonlinear effects during focused ultrasound treatment can dramatically reduce the treatment time. Different nonlinear acoustic phenomenon will be described including radiation force, acoustic streaming, acoustic levitation, cavitation.
