In this lecture, you will learn the meaning of the terms "Explicit", "Solid" and "Dynamics" in the context of this course.
In this lecture, you will learn how to classify dynamic events based on impact velocity.
In this lecture, you will learn which industries use Explicit Solid Dynamics in their development lifecycles and what phenomena can be simulated. You will also see a comprehensive list of possible applications for this technology.
In this lecture, you will find out what set of skills you need to develop in order to become a successful Explicit Dynamics Engineer.
In this lecture, you will learn about some recommended references, including books, articles, and other tips to speed up your learning in the field of Explicit Dynamics and Computational Mechanics in general.
In this lecture, you will understand the proposal of the other modules of this course. You will learn how the lectures are structured and the content covered by each lecture.
The course "Understanding Explicit Solid Dynamics" is divided into three separate modules: Introduction, Theory and Practice.
In the Introduction module, you will be provided with a concise definition of explicit solid dynamics, and you will learn how dynamic events can be classified based on impact velocity. A wide range of possible industrial applications will be discussed, giving you a broad overview of where explicit dynamics technology can be used.
The module also gives you some insights into the basic, advanced, specific, and human skills required to become an explicit dynamics simulation engineer, based on over a decade of experience.
Towards the end of the Introduction module, recommendations of books, articles, and online resources will be provided. The objective is to make the students aware of complementary references for this course. Finally, the structure of the paid modules II and III (Theory and Practice) will be explained in detail to give you a comprehensive understanding of what to expect in the upcoming modules.
By the end of the Introduction module, students will have a clear view of the challenges addressed by explicit solid dynamics, an understanding of its diverse applications, and a clear idea of the skills required to succeed in this field.
