M2 - Biomechanics

Field measurements are increasingly used in engineering, and more particularly in Mechanics. This module aims to present the basics of different imaging methods using image interpretation models of increasing complexity.

We begin by defining the principles of operation of imaging devices, then we present some tools of mathematical morphology in order to extract statistical information on quantities of geometric nature.

The methods of infrared thermography are then discussed through two models of interpretation: the calibration of the camera and the inversion of the thermal problem to access the heat sources.

The course ends with a comparison between experimental measurements and a numerical model by implementing a method of recalibration of finite element model.Theoretical courses are supported by practical sessions to implement the processing methods and illustrate the influence of the main parameters of analysis.

Biomechanics is an interdisciplinary field that has developed greatly in recent years. It covers many fields of application such as the analysis of sports movement, accidentology, traumatology, orthopedics, biocompatibility of osteoarticular prostheses, functional rehabilitation, assistance in the diagnosis and management of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, tissue growth and remodeling, tissue engineering, etc.

This UE is applied to the "innovative project in mechanics". It is about giving the student the elements to simulate the creation of a company, from the product or the range of products developed in innovative project.

This EU is divided into :

course given by professional actors of the world of business creation

consultations given by professionals to accompany the students (groups of 3 students maximum) in the simulation of the creation of their company.

This module provides the basic notions to understand the different mechanical behaviors of materials and how they can be studied from experiments or models. The module will start with a basic review of continuum mechanics under the Small Perturbation Hypothesis (SPH). The different classes of mechanical behavior of materials will be studied (Elasticity, Visco-elasticity, Plasticity,...) as well as the different mechanical moduli (Young, compressibility, shear, Poisson's ratio,...), for all types of materials (metallic, composites, polymers,...). After studying the links between the different microstructures and the mechanical properties, the main tests used to characterize the mechanical behavior of materials will be explained. The basic notions of anisotropic elasticity will also be presented (anisotropic elasticity tensors, orthotropy, transverse isotropy). The basic rheological models, commonly used to model these behaviors, will then be presented and it will be shown how their parameters can be identified. The module will end with a presentation of the dynamic analysis methods (DMA)

This teaching unit is common to both the CSIM and Biomechanics courses. It combines skills in mechanics of indeformable solids and imaging. It applies to biomechanics, robotics and other fields related to motion analysis, such as motion capture for video games. It includes a theoretical part of courses and practical work done in collaboration with the UFR STAPS.

This course aims to prepare students for professional interviews by giving them the keys to value their past experiences.

This teaching is based on interview simulation games constructed on the basis of existing job offers.

Labor law deals with the analysis of the main rules of the employment contract and, in particular, with the employee's obligations, the employer's obligations and the termination of the employment relationship.

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.
