Faculty of Science
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.
Divided Media and Numerical Methods
Level of study
BAC +4
ECTS
5 credits

Faculty of Science
This course gives a general introduction to 1) the physics and mechanics of divided media and 2) their modeling through discrete methods (DEM). The multiscale character of a divided material is discussed from the microscopic scale (contact interactions), to the macroscopic scale (structure scale). A phenomenological description of the macroscopic behavior as well as the microscopic properties are discussed for static, quasi-static and flowing states of granular media. Micro-mechanical models and scaling approaches based on dimensionless analysis, averaged quantities, stress transmissions and anisotropies are introduced. The influence of particle properties and contact interactions on the microstructure is also discussed. Discrete Element Methods (DEM), regular (Molecular Dynamics) and non-regular (Contact Dynamics) numerical approaches are presented. In particular, the Contact Dynamics method will be implemented on simple examples through the LMGC90 computational code.
Motion capture and inverse dynamics

Faculty of Science
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.
Composite and Laminated Materials
Level of study
BAC +5
ECTS

Faculty of Science
Although natural composites have been used for thousands of years, the high technology of advanced composites has only been used in the aerospace industry for the past fifty years. Applications are becoming increasingly diverse, from aircraft structures and hydrogen tanks to tennis rackets and boats. The objective of this course is to analyze and design structures in laminated composite materials using industrial calculation codes. To do so, a presentation of the different components of the composites of petrochemical or natural origin is made. Then the implementation processes are discussed. Finally, the theoretical and applied study of laminated composites is conducted. A practical application of these important theoretical notions is carried out on an industrial calculation code (ANSYS) during practical work and a project.

Measurement and Imaging in Mechanical R&D

ECTS
5 credits

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.
