Level of study

ECTS

Faculty of Science
This unit concerns the study of the mechanics of rigid solids. It is the natural continuation of the unit devoted to the kinematics and statics of rigid solids in L1. This unit will place us in a dynamic framework and apply the Fundamental Principle of Dynamics. The writing of this principle requires the knowledge of the torsor of the external actions, studied in L1 but also the knowledge of the dynamic torsor. The latter can be calculated with the help of the kinetic torsor which, for a rigid solid, uses the notion of moment of inertia. The main applications studied in this unit concern the rigid solid or simple cases of articulated systems of rigid solids. In addition, we will study the particular case of contact and friction actions (Coulomb friction) and we will approach the Kinetic Energy Theorem.

The first part of this course aims to consolidate the notions of magnetostatics and to establish the relations of the passage of the electromagnetic field at the interface of a plane of charges or current. We also introduce the expression of Laplace forces (force and moment) acting on volumetric or filiform circuits. The second part is devoted to the properties of fields and potentials in the variable regime. After introducing Faraday's law describing induction phenomena, we establish Maxwell's time-dependent equations. An energy treatment allows us to define the electric and magnetic energies, as well as the Poynting vector. We apply these concepts to different examples such as electromechanical conversion or induction heating via eddy currents. A final chapter is devoted to the propagation equations of fields and potentials, and their application in vacuum-like systems, as well as in perfect conductors and insulators. The notion of skin depth is also introduced.

Strength of materials

ECTS
5 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
The resistance of materials (RoM) is a particular discipline of the mechanics of continuous media allowing the calculation of stresses and strains in slender structures made of different materials (machines, mechanical engineering, building and civil engineering). It is a 1D static modelling of a deformable solid assimilated to a beam linked to a frame and subjected to external mechanical stresses.
The RoM allows the study of the global behaviour of a structure (relationship between stresses - forces or moments - and displacements) to be reduced to that of the local behaviour of the materials composing it(relationship between stresses and strains). Mechanical stresses can be seen as " cohesive forces " of the material. The deformations of a physical object can be observed by a variation in its dimensions or in its overall shape.

Rheology is the study of the deformation and flow of materials under the effect of an applied mechanical load. In the field of materials, this science concerns in particular the following areas
- Viscoelasticity
- Plasticity
- Viscoplasticity
- Non-Newtonian fluids
In practice, rheology allows the characterisation of macroscopic mechanical properties of materials whose behaviour escapes the classical theories of the elastic solid and Newtonian fluids (with constant viscosity). Such materials can thus be considered as having an intermediate behaviour between the solid and the fluid, between the elastic and the viscous.

This course aims to introduce the basics of physical hydrodynamics. The kinematic aspects are treated in a first step: Euler and Lagrange formalism, analysis of the motion of an element of fluid volume, introduction of the current and potential velocity functions, and applications to different types of flows. In the next part of fluid dynamics, we establish Euler's equation and Bernoulli's relation for the flow of perfect fluids, then the Navier-Stokes equation describing the flow of viscous Newtonian fluids. This part will lead us to define the stress tensor and the Reynolds number which allow us to deduce the laminar or turbulent character of a flow. The course ends with an introduction to the mechanics of deformable solids: displacement field, expansion and deformation tensor.

Faculty of Science
This course provides the basic tools necessary for the functional dimensioning of mechanical systems. After presenting one-dimensional dimensioning and its limits, "3D" geometric tolerancing (GPS), according to ISO standards, is introduced in order to learn how to read and then write a geometric tolerance according to the functional requirements of a part in a mechanical system. The study of the hyperstaticity of the mechanism and the connections then allows the functional conditions required to ensure the assembly and the correct operation of the system to be established. The determination of the dimensional and geometric tolerances is then carried out with the help of the implementation and resolution of dimensional chains. Finally, once the parts have been produced, it is necessary to carry out metrological control and to check their conformity with the functional dimensioning.
