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.
Basic knowledge of the mechanics of materials

ECTS
3 credits

Faculty of Science
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)

Measurement and Imaging in Mechanical R&D

Faculty of Science
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.
