Content
Courses: - Theoretical contributions are made in the form of lectures and application exercises carried out in class or in self-training. The courses introduce the main properties of the materials, the notions of materials microstructure and present the microstructure relations – properties – processes. - Course content: material life cycle; material families; material properties; atomic organization and microstructure; mechanical behaviour and properties: elasticity, viscoelasticity, plasticity, rupture; effect of temperature on materials: thermal dependence of properties, glass transition, fragile-ductile transition, creep, thermal shocks. -Tutorials: Tutorials illustrate and apply the concepts develop in lectures. They are focus on the comparison of the characteristics and properties of the 3 major families of materials, the determination and manipulation of the thermomechanical properties and the study of process. Lab practice: They allow learning to measure, compare and interpret the thermal and mechanical properties of materials
