Courses

Continuum mechanics (for GC)

This fundamental class covers the notions of deformation and stress, as well as general conservation principles, equilibrium equations and constitutive laws. In the second part we will highlight applications in structural mechanics and introduce approximate methods.

Numerical modelling of solids and structures

The numerical modeling of solids is presented with the finite element method. The purely analytical aspects are presented first, followed by the methods of interpolation, integration, and resolution of mechanical problems.

Continuum mechanics and applications

This course covers the fundamentals of continuum mechanics theory at the graduate level and provides modern examples of applications. Extra emphasis is on emerging data-driven approaches. It is adequate for students with a background in civil, mechanical or material engineering.

Fundamentals of Fracture with Fundamental Papers

(Coursebook not yet approved by the section)

Fracture of materials

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

CCMX Tribology and Surfaces Interactions

This course is intended to give to the participants (graduates, researchers and industrial professionals) a solid background in tribology and surface interactions. It covers the fundamentals concepts of tribology including surfaces, contact mechanics, friction, lubrication and wear.
