Plasticity
I am teaching this course this semester. I'll post notes as I write them. Links to the notes are listed in this post. I will also notify updates on twitter: https://twitter.com/zhigangsuo

Explicit Dynamics with ANSYS LS-DYNA training course
This training course covers the ANSYS LS-DYNA Interface, which seamlessly links the ANSYTS traditional environment pre- and post-processing software with the LS-DYNA explicit solver to conduct highly nonlinear, transient dynamic analyses. Sequential solutions are also discussed, in which the ANSYS implicit solver is used in conjunction with the LS-DYNA explicit solver to extend the range of applications.
Empirical observations of temperature
I have divided the old notes on temperature into three parts:
- Principle of the conservation of energy
- Empirical observations of temperature (this part)
- Energy and fundamental postulate
Our feeling of hotness comes from everyday experiences. These experiences indicate that many levels of hotness exist, and that all levels of hotness can be mapped to a real variable.
Polymer gels
These notes are part of a graduate course on advanced elasticity.
Free Energy
For a system in thermal contact with the rest of the world, we have described three quantities: entropy, energy, and temperature. We have also described the idea of a constraint internal to the system, and associated this constraint to an internal variable.

Lecture notes on "Elasticity" and "Statistical Mechanics"
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:

Perhaps it could be useful to you.
