In this course, we will begin by discussing the two laws of thermodynamics — the balance of energy law and the entropy inequality law. We then use the Legendre transformation to derive the Helmholtz free energy. Following this, we discuss the Clausius-Planck and the Clausius-Duhem inequalities. We then study thermoelasticity, which explains how a body stores internal energy as it deforms due to local temperature changes. Finally, we conclude this course by discussing the heat flux vector in current and reference configurations.

This course was created for Ansys Innovation Courses by Professor Krishna Garikipati and Dr. Gregory Teichert, University of Michigan, in partnership with Ansys.

A course completion badge allows you to showcase your success. We partner with Credly’s Acclaim platform, and digital badges can be used in email signatures, digital resumes and social media sites. The digital image contains verified metadata that describes your participation in our course and the topics and skills that were covered. This badge is for successfully completing the Thermomechanics course.
