Lecture notes on "Elasticity" and "Statistical Mechanics"

Submitted by Cai Wei on Fri, 2008-06-06 01:50.

The lecture notes of the two courses I taught at Stanford University during the last two quarters, "ME 340 Elasticity" and "ME 334 Introduction to Statistical Mechanics", are available in PDF format online at:

Poroelasticity, or diffusion in elastic solids

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on Tue, 2007-03-06 05:14.

A sponge is an elastic solid with connected pores. When immersed in water, the sponge absorbs water. When a saturated sponge is squeezed, water will come out. More generally, the subject is known as diffusion in elastic solids, or elasticity of fluid-infiltrated porous solids, or poroelasticity. The theory has been applied to diverse phenomena. Here are a few examples.
