Content
Courses (14h)
Failure under static stresses:
The brittle and ductile fracture mechanisms are studied for the different families of materials as well as the various influencing parameters. The brittle ductile transition, the toughness, as well as the fracture statistics, complete this part to refine the choices of materials and their dimensioning for the strenght to sudden fracture by crack propagation.
Failure under dynamic stresses
The mechanisms of fatigue failure in materials, and the bases of pre-dimensioning of parts for dynamic stresses are studied.
The course is illustrated with numerous examples and exercises from expertises treated in the laboratory.
Practical work (6x4h)
In the form of mini projects allowing for a global consideration of the design, choice of materials, analytical and numerical calculations and expertise of parts subjected to dynamic or statics constraints.
Pre-requisites / co-requisites
- Materials strength
- solid mechanics
- Pratique du calcul des structures
- Materials science for engeneers
