 <title>Final Exam:  ES 240 Solid Mechanics</title>
 <link>http://imechanica.org/node/709</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Notes for students who are preparing for the final.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Time: 9:15 am, Thursday, 18 January 2006. Place: Sever Hall 206. No notes or books. Calculators are allowed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There will be 3 hours and 5 problems. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Exam problems will mostly draw upon &lt;a href=&quot;/taxonomy/term/179,177,194,176&quot;&gt;homework&lt;/a&gt; and parts of the &lt;a href=&quot;/node/203&quot;&gt;lecture notes&lt;/a&gt; covered in class. The exam intends to test your understanding of the material covered in the course, not your creativity.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For the last two topics covered in class, &lt;a href=&quot;/node/538&quot;&gt;finite deformation&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;/node/603&quot;&gt;strings and elastica&lt;/a&gt;, there was no homework, but some exercises are scattered in the notes. They may appear in the final.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For equations, you will need to memorize the most basic ones, such as equilibrium equations, Hooke&amp;#39;s law, and strain-displacement relations. But for anything that you cannot remember, you should be able to derive.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grade distribution&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/taxonomy/term/179,177,194,176&quot;&gt;Homework&lt;/a&gt; (40%)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/taxonomy/term/179,176,177,289&quot;&gt;Computer work&lt;/a&gt; (10%) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/taxonomy/term/179,176,177,307&quot;&gt;Project&lt;/a&gt; (25%)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/files/Final.doc&quot;&gt;Final Exam&lt;/a&gt; (25%) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Final:  5 problems, 5 points each.  3 hours.  No notes or textbooks.  Calculators allowed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Residual stress around an inclusions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Longitudinal wave in a crystal&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Vibration of a membrane&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Zener model and cyclic load test&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Inflation of a balloon&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
