Applied Mathematics (Ⅰ)

There are three chapters in this course. Chapter one covers the Cartesian Tensors, which are extensive used in the courses of Elasticity, Plasticity, Fluid mechanics, Piezoelasticity, and etc. Chapter two includes three parts. The first part introduces the existence and uniqueness theory for the 1st order ordinary differential equation (ODE) and 1st order system of ODE. The second part covers the solution of 1st order linear system of ODE, which is particular useful for the course of Dynamics. The third part of this chapter is designed to the solution of linear 2nd order ODE with unknown source functions. We introduces the concept of Dirac delta function, generalized functions, adjoint operators, Fredholm alternative theorem, Green�fs functions and modified Green�fs functions and the integral representation of the solution of 2nd order ODE. Finally, Chapter 3 also includes three parts. The 1st part introduces the classification of linear 2nd order PDE. The 2nd introduces the Green�fs function and the integral representation of solution of 2nd order linear PDEs. Free space Green�fs functions are solved first for infinite domain and then method of images are introduced for solving some simple finite domain PDE problems. The 3rd part introduces the eigenvalue problem of self-adjoint boundary value problems of 2nd order PDE, and the full/partial eigenfunction expansion for solving the linear 2nd order BVP or IBVP. Also included in this part are the Maximum-Minimum principle and unique theorems for Laplace/Poisson equation and Heat equation. This course is aimed to let the graduate students own required knowledge in applied mathematics, which has applications in all aspects of mechanics, electricity and applied science.

Students after learning this course should know how to derive the constitutive laws for materials and have the ability to derive the equations of motion based on the Hamilton’s principle for continuous structures.

Students are taught to perform theoretical analysis of vibration and wave motion of structures. They would be well trained with the knowledge of suppressing the vibration and noise of structures by the means of different passive and active feedback-control techniques together with sensors and actuators.

Various applications from sensors to actuators are introduced and their working principles will be interpreted.

Elasticity (Ⅰ)

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.

Clinical Translation and Industrialization of Biomaterials

Many pieces of a puzzle have to be assembled to enable the successful translation of a novel idea into the clinic for the benefit of patients. First, the idea needs to be tested in a research environment before protecting and communicating the results, for example in a patent and/or journal publication. At this stage, the research can attract the interest of clinicians and/or manufacturers, who can help to progress the testing through clinical trials before a product can be launched. This course will give an overview over some of the main pieces of the puzzle that play a role on the path from the “bench to the bedside”, and will equip students with first-hand, up-to-date knowledge regarding aspects such as the management of intellectual property, regulatory requirements and standards, clinical trials and strategies for effective communication in an interdisciplinary environment. Furthermore, the students will be taken through several examples of successfully translated biomedical products to highlight key issues and pitfalls. Students gain a much sought-after understanding of the issues that are important for the successful translation of biomaterials research into the industrial world.
