Description

This course is an introduction to continuum mechanics and, more generally, to modelling in mechanics. It begins by introducing the fundamental concepts, before moving on to elastostatic problems. It covers 3D solids and then slender bodies, with a view to designing mechanical systems in structural mechanics.

Learning Outcomes AAv (AAv)

  • AAv1 [heures: 14.5, B3]: By the end of the semester, S6 students should be able to describe the kinematics of a 3D continuous or slender medium.

  • AAv2 [heures: 16, B3]: By the end of the semester, the S6 student must be able to formulate balance laws applied to massive or slender deformable solids.

  • AAv3 [heures: 15, B3]: By the end of the semester, S6 students will be able to calculate the internal mechanical forces within a deformable structure, as well as the associated mechanical response.

  • AAv4 [heures: 16, B3, C4]: By the end of the semester, the S6 student will be able to apply mechanical failure criteria to a structure in order to dimension it from a mechanical perspective.
