Continuum mechanics for biological physics | |||||||
Modul: | Phy-Ma-Vert: Physikalische Vertiefung | ||||||
Lecture language | English | ||||||
Summary of Lecture: | Continuum mechanics describes fluids and solids; providing an indispensable toolkit for biological physics: Living cells move in fluids or adhere to elastic substrates, while showing both elastic and fluid-like properties themselves. Content: Fluid dynamics and elasticity theory with emphasis on foundations and examples. Fundamental solutions in continuum mechanics and their applications. Elastic rods, shells, and solids. Adhesion. Non-linear elasticity and cell rheology. | ||||||
