This topic aims to present a basic introduction to mechanics of non metalic materials. Specificaly, the phenomena which does not exist or are negligible in metalic materials. First part of the lectures is aimed at mechanics of plastics with aim at simulation of glass temperature. Second part of the lectures will aim at introducing the basics of the theory of hyper and visco elasticity together with presentation of some of the common constitutive models used in this area. Last part of lectures will focus on mechanics of long fiber composites.
