Design and Development of Industrial Products

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.

This unit introduces students to:

- management in the company, by presenting the company as an economic and legal entity on the one hand and by approaching the strategic approach in its entirety on the other.

- marketing in the company, from market research to operational marketing. The marketing approach will be directly applied to the industrial creation project carried out by the student teams.

The course sessions will be complemented by a company visit, as well as by the methodological approach of concretecase studies.

This 42h course is divided in two parts (1/3, 2/3) in order to give the basic elements in heat transfer and fluid mechanics (3D). Fluids will be considered as continuous media. We will call a particle an element of infinitely small volume for a mathematical description but large enough compared to the molecules to be described by continuous functions. This course is an extension of the course on modeling elastic media in L3 and the course on fluid mechanics (1D).

This 42-hour course is divided into two identical parts that run in parallel. The first part concerns the study of vibration problems in discrete media and in 1D continuous media (string, beams). The second part concerns the use of variational formulations in order to reformulate the problems studied in L3 in RDM and 3D elasticity. We can then propose optimized approximate solutions. This part of the course allows to make a link between RDM, 3D elasticity and the second semester course of finite elements.

At the beginning of this teaching unit, the group of students (4 maximum) has a set of documents among which we systematically find the Functional Product Specifications containing a validated principle solution. The group of students must then propose a critical analysis of the documents given and build an organization plan to achieve the realization of a technical file containing all the drawings of the product parts.

In this progression, the student must go through an inescapable step which consists in defining the product (CAD model) and arguing, through a set of calculation notes, the choice of the selected components and the dimensioning of the product parts.

At the final project review, in the presence of the client, the student group will present these results.

This teaching unit is the continuation of the UE " Definition of industrial products ". Starting from the product definition file, the group of students (4 maximum) must create the functional prototype of the solution validated later. During the manufacturing of the prototype, the group of students must:

manage the subcontracting of parts to be produced and the purchase of standard components;

control the manufactured parts and the purchased components;

assemble the prototype from an assembly graph established by the students.

From the characterization of the functions accessible in the CDCF, the student group must qualify the functional prototype by implementing all the experimental means to verify each of the criteria and by proposing corrective solutions in case of non respect.

This course enables students to apply the key stages of a mechanical design approach, from initial specifications to prototype qualification, to one or more concrete cases dealt with in previous years' industrial projects. It thus supports the year's industrial projects by mobilizing the same skills, but on one or more solved cases, unlike the current projects. It therefore requires the mobilization of various skills acquired in other courses, particularly non-technological ones, in the Master's or Bachelor's program (fundamental principle of dynamics, strength of materials, continuum mechanics, vibrations, finite element simulation) on one or more real mechanisms that students can manipulate and experiment with.

its ability to design, implement, test and validate innovative solutions, methods, products, systems and services

its ability to carry out fundamental or applied research activities, to set up experimental devices, to be open to the practice of collaborative work;

ability to find, evaluate and use relevant information;

its ability to take into account the company's challenges: economic dimension, respect for quality, competitiveness and productivity, commercial requirements, economic intelligence;

its ability to take into account the issues of work relations, ethics, responsibility, safety and health in the workplace;

its capacity to integrate into professional life, to integrate into an organization, to lead it and to make it evolve: exercise of responsibility, team spirit, project management, communication with specialists as well as with non-specialists;

His/her ability to work in an international context: mastery of one or more foreign languages and associated cultural openness;

its ability to know itself, to evaluate itself, to manage its competences (in particular in a perspective of lifelong learning), to make its professional choices.

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.

The objective of this module is to practice numerical simulation tools (finite element or mechanism simulation software) while insisting on their limits, through case studies on: HPP isotropic elasticity, modal analysis, mechanism simulation, topological optimization, thermal and thermomechanical analysis,...). In most of the examples treated, we will try to show the interest of experimentation, both to feed the models upstream and to validate them downstream.

The objective of this course is to develop a new product. The idea or the new need is the initiative of the project group made up of 2 or 3 students maximum. This innovative project covers the different phases of a project from the statement of the need to the realization of the functional prototype (see the pre-industrialization of the product) through the analysis of the competition, the search for a solution in principle, the definition of the validated solutions as well as the writing of the claim of their patent when the technical solution is defined This innovative project is associated with 5 other teaching units:

CAD and prototyping which corresponds to the implementation of the digital model and the realization of the functional prototype;

graphic design in which the student elaborates the communication elements of this innovative project: packaging, poster, presentation video, first page of the website;

eco-design in which the student defines the "environmental value of his innovative product".
