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 course presents a unified framework to describe the thermomechanical behavior of materials. Based on the notions of thermodynamics seen in the preparatory years, it introduces the notion of irreversibility in an extended framework where the nature of the 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 completed by a thermodynamic description of the material or the constituents of the medium to be analyzed.
At the end of the course, the student should be able to write the behavioral equations of state and complementary equations associated with a thermomechanical model. He/she should be able to draw up a complete energy balance by calculating in particular the deformation energy, the dissipated energy, the heat sources induced by the thermomechanical couplings
- Heterogeneous Elasticity: In this course, the notion of elasticity is extended to anisotropic media, heterogeneous media (dimensioning of composite materials), and large transformations (entropic elasticity of elastomers).
- Vibrations and dynamic systems: Basic notions of vibrations for a 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. from finite element modeling). Study of eigenmodes.
Dimensioning with respect to dynamic loads.

- Viscoelasticity: The objective of this part is to deepen the modeling of viscoelastic behaviors already seen in the ECUE "Rheology 1" in order to introduce the generalized versions "series" and "parallel" of the Biot 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 present in the finite element codes (isotropic and kinematic models). A link is made with the metallurgy course in order to highlight the microstructural events retained during the implementation of macroscopic models. In the same way, the course will be based on the rheology course and on the practical work on materials which have allowed to highlight the notion of threshold and work hardening. The models set up can be used in the projects oriented towards numerical simulation
- damage : Present the various microscopic manifestations of damage on brittle and ductile materials.
Introduce a thermomechanical theory (Kachanov-Lemaitre) of damage allowing the construction of continuous models adapted to the type of material studied (brittle and ductile materials) as well as to the loading mode (creep, oligo-cyclic fatigue and large number of cycles) The models developed can be used in the option project.

Biomechanics is essentially based on the various mechanics theories (solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, etc.) applied to the study of biological systems. Since the Biomechanics course is open to a public that is not necessarily an expert in mechanics (doctors, orthopedists, physiotherapists, etc.), it is necessary to introduce to this public the basic notions of rigid solid mechanics. Indeed, the human body can be considered, to a first approximation, as a set of body segments (foot, leg, thigh, hip, bust, etc.) articulated together. These segments can be modeled by rigid solids in order to study aspects related to the static equilibrium of the body, such as its movements, shocks and traumatology.
