ES 240, Problem 6, from Lei Qiao

Prior courses in solid mechanics : None.

Undergraduate major: Computational Mathematics

My strength related to this course: familiar with linear algebra and mulitivariables calculus

My weakness related to this course: poor intuition for mechanics models

Research group: Prof. Radovitzky's computational solid mechancis group at MIT

Research direction: to implement discontinuous Galerkin method into solid mechanics, especially for strain gradient theory

This course will give me lots of knowledge and insight for solid mechacis models

I will study some other mechancis courses, and this course is a start point.
