Courses

Materials

Introduction course of material science applied to usual building materials, especially concrete and metals. Description of their fabrication, mechanical and thermal properties and use in construction.

Continuum mechanics

In this course, the tools to describe the materials not at the atom level but as a continuum are presented. The stress and deformation tensors, the conservation laws (mass, energy, momentum), the linear elasticity and the Newtonian flow are treated using examples of practical applications.

Finite element theory and practice

The aim of this class is to understand the finite element method i.e. the weak and strong variational formulations and the resolution schemes in space and time. The second part of the semester is dedicated to the practice using the commercial program Abaqus.

Fracture of materials

This course covers elementary fracture mechanics and its application to the fracture of engineering materials.
