Continuum Mechanics Introduction in 10 Minutes

[@ZahLP]

currently studying mechanics as a civil engineering student. Reading theory, then getting stuck in the understanding of abstract concepts always makes me scrape youtube for good visualisations. Here i found another great one. Mechanics is all about getting a feeling for it and gaining intuition. this helps a lot! thank you my german fellow!! :))

Welcome! Greetings from Berlin ;)

I am reviewing concepts of Continuum mechanics for an exam ahead and found your video on KZbin. The detailed explanations and visualizations helped me a lot! Wish I had these videos when I started to learn continuum mechanics. Thanks for your great work and looking for more videos on this topic in future!

[@DrSimulate]

Thanks a lot! All the best for your exam. 😁

I am currently working in FEA in my current job. And as a beginner, I have difficulty understanding some concepts in continuum mechanics. This video really helps and I hope you will not get tired of making videos in the future.

Very nice explanations and visualizations. Thank you very much for your effort. I am excited about the upcoming contents.

[@DrSimulate]

Hey Eray, thanks a lot!! 😁

[@utof]

its my first time learning continuum mechanics (im a cs undergrad), so far i would say i understood the general picture, although im left wondering:"is that it? seems pretty easy then!!" but i know that im wrong 😅 but so far its the most visual and appeoachable video about continuum mech ive seen, so thank you!!!

[@DrSimulate]

Thanks a lot! If you find this too easy, wait until we get to nonlinear continuum mechanics 🤯🤯

[@utof]

@@DrSimulate heheheh :) i meant easy in the sense that i somehow felt that understood the basics of it very quickly, like dunning-kruger effect, feels like i "know" so much already. Maybe because in the video i didnt get too much info about what i dont know, you know? 😁 im just spitballing

[@utof]

@@DrSimulate do you have a discord or a server? i would love to chat with you occasionally!

[@DrSimulate]

@@utof Are you by any chance on the Summer of Math Exposition discord server? We can have a chat there if you like :) discord.com/invite/WZvZMVsXXR

[@utof]

@@DrSimulate yeah, im there! im @utof

[@emrekt22]

this channel is insanely good

[@DrSimulate]

Thanks :DD

[@generalCAE_]

Keep on the good work! Amazing video!!

[@krokodilvomnil5327]

Great videos i must say. Whats more complex in your opinion FEM or continuum mechanics ?

[@DrSimulate]

@@krokodilvomnil5327 Tough question. FEM is related to math, CM is related to physics. So it depends if you have more a math or physics background.. 🤔

2:38 I understand the reasoning behind the analogy, but it's important to distinguish between the field theories used in electromagnetism, gravity, and particle physics, and the way we model properties like temperature, pressure, displacements, stress, and strain. While a function like 'T' might be convenient, the concepts in these disciplines function differently. Could we explore alternative ways to model the system without direct comparisons to field theories?

[@DrSimulate]

Interesting. I am not a physicist. When I talk about field theory, I refer to frameworks where the state variables are functions of space and time, e.g., heat equation, Maxwell Equations, etc.

@@DrSimulate 4:19 I see you have kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6m7qoFonst-bqMsi=LNS9shRxI3a2UeAk in your playlist. May I encourage you to study episodes 2A and 2B to understand that field theory is the domain of physics. It only applies to phenomena whose influence is dependent on a single variable, such as distance (gravity, electric) or velocity (magnetic) and that state variables such as temperature, displacement, strain, stress etc, are not fields.

Generaly, one begins with the hypothesis of continuum mechanics
