Degrees incorporating this pedagocial element :
Description
The course aims to provide the students with the basic concepts of mechanics of materials: classification of the different mechanical behaviours, elasticity and criteria formulations, plasticity, visco-plasticity.
Course program:
– Part I: Elasticity and criteria
- Elasticity

- Based on the traction vector (stress vector)
- Based on the stress tensor (invariants)
– Part II: Plasticity
- Applications
- Uniaxial loading
- Multi-axial loadings
- Flow rule and strain hardening
- Examples
– Part III: Viscoplasticity
- Applications
- Uniaxial loading
- 1D modelling
- 3D modelling
- Examples
Recommended prerequisite
