Presentation
The Master's degree in mechanics covers the major theoretical fields of mechanics (solid, fluid, strength of materials and elasticity) and their applications (product design, biomechanics and numerical simulation). The Master's degree in mechanics enables students to master the scientific tools of engineering.
Objectives
Depending on the path chosen, the objectives of the master's degree are focused and specialized, in Biomechanics, Computation and Simulation in Mechanical Engineering (CSIM) or Industrial Product Design and Development (IPDD).
Know-how and skills
The holder of a Master's degree in mechanics is capable of formulating a problem of advanced complexity in the field of systems and continuum mechanics. They are able to propose a numerical, theoretical or experimental resolution strategy adapted to the context. This course develops students' skills across the 3 pathways:

Program
- Classes, seminars & practical work (30 h/wk), from September to the end of March (in M1) and the end of February (in M2).
- Group projects
- 17-week work placement in M1 and M2.
The three courses in the program have a strong common core in the first year, and more pronounced specialization in the second. They all have a Professional or Research focus, depending on the choice of courses and, above all, the type of internship undertaken. The CDPI and CSIM courses offer some students the opportunity to do a double degree with the IAE. The CSIM pathway also enables students to take a double degree with Chiang MaÏ University (Thailand) andITM Alès in civil engineering. The Biomeca pathway is open to doctors for specialization.

Calculations and Simulations in Mechanical Engineering
The CSIM course in the Mechanics Master's program focuses on calculations and simulations in structural mechanics.
Industrial Product Design and Development
The CDPI course of the Master's degree in Mechanics is oriented towards technological design in Mechanics with a specialization in creation, innovation and product design.
Biomechanics
The Biomechanics track of the Master's degree in Mechanics is at the interface between technological and health sciences. It enables us to meet tomorrow's major challenges, both in terms of medical devices (prostheses, endoprostheses, implants of all kinds, etc.), and in terms of understanding the coupling between living organisms and their mechanical environment at different observation scales.
IDIL - Modeling Biological and Environmental Systems - Mention MECANIQUE
The aim of the "Modelling Environmental and Biological Systems" (MoBiEn) Master's program is to train students in the quantitative and theoretical investigation of complex phenomena in living systems emerging at several scales: from the single molecule to living organisms, as well as their interaction with their environment.
The Master MoBiEn brings together scientists from different laboratories and professors from our 4 departments: Mathematics, Physics, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science. In this sense, it offers a coherent multidisciplinary program that makes MoBiEn a unique training program whose core disciplines are Statistical Physics, Stochastic Processes, Biomechanics, Numerical Simulations, Statistical Methods, Advanced Data Analysis Techniques, and Artificial Intelligence.

Component
Faculty of Science
The aim of this course is to introduce students to the finite element method as applied to one-, two- and three-dimensional problems in engineering and applied science. This presentation is made within the framework of linear elasticity and small perturbations in statics. Starting with prerequisites in mathematics and solid mechanics, the principle of discretization is first addressed through the approaches of Ritz and Gallerkine for one-dimensional media. Next, the problem of numerical integration is approached using the Gauss method. Meshing and validation of computational models is then addressed in the study of surface modeling with 2D elements. Finally, these notions will be used to set up the complete formalism of the finite element method within the framework of bar and beam elements, then triangle-type elements. A practical application of these important theoretical notions is carried out on an industrial calculation code (ANSYS) during practical work and a project.

- Generalized Standard Materials: This ECUE presents a unified framework for describing the thermomechanical behavior of materials. Building on the notions of thermodynamics introduced in the preparatory years, it introduces the notion of irreversibility in a broader framework where the nature of state variables can become tensorial. A link with MMC is essential, so that the student understands how a purely mechanical description of continuous media and systems can be complemented by a thermodynamic description of the material or constituents of the medium to be analyzed.
At the end of the course, students should be able to write the behavioral equations of state and complementary equations associated with a thermomechanical model. They should be able to draw up a complete energy balance, calculating deformation energy, dissipated energy and heat sources induced by thermomechanical couplings.
- Heterogeneous Elasticity: This course extends the notion of elasticity to anisotropic media, heterogeneous media (dimensioning of composite materials), and large transformations (entropic elasticity of elastomers).
- Vibration and dynamic systems: Vibration basics for single-degree-of-freedom modeling, with and without damping. Free vibrations. Forced vibrations. Study of the resonance phenomenon.
Modeling of systems with two degrees of freedom. Resonance and anti-resonance.
Study of systems with a large number of degrees of freedom (e.g. resulting from finite element modeling). Study of eigenmodes.
Sizing for dynamic loads.

- Viscoelasticity: The aim of this section is to extend the modeling of viscoelastic behavior already covered in ECUE "Rheology 1", in order to introduce the generalized "series" and "parallel" versions of Biot's model. From a more "material" point of view, the notions of relaxation time spectra are introduced to account for the transformations classically encountered in polymers, as well as the concept of time-temperature equivalence.
- plasticity: Present the basic plasticity models used in finite element codes (isotropic and kinematic models). A link is made with the metallurgy course in order to highlight the microstructural events selected when setting up macroscopic models. Similarly, the course will be based on the rheology course and materials practical work, which have highlighted the notion of threshold and strain hardening. The models developed can be used in numerical simulation projects.

Biomechanics is essentially based on the various mechanistic theories (solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, etc.) applied to the study of biological systems. As the Biomechanics course is open to people who are not necessarily experts in mechanics (doctors, orthopedists, physiotherapists, etc.), it is necessary to introduce them to basic notions of rigid solid mechanics. The human body can be considered, to a first approximation, as a set of body segments (foot, leg, thigh, hip, chest, etc.) articulated together. These segments can be modeled by rigid solids in order to study aspects of the body's static equilibrium, such as its movements, shocks and traumatology.
