TB1 - PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL MODELLING BY FINITE ELEMENTS

ECTS credits

Course Director(s):

  • MORIN Claire
  • General Description:

    The aim is to acquire the basic notions of thermo-mechanical solution procedures, degenerate structural elements, such as beams, plates and casings, of non-linear behaviour and contact problems encountered in the field of biomechanical engineering.

    The course is divided into two units: the first a series of course sessions and supervised studies on the three application fields of the finite element method.

    -          Thermics and thermo-mechanics: modelling and solutions to thermal and thermo-mechanical problems by finite elements

    -          Structures: introduction to degenerate structural elements, such as beams, plates and casings

    -          Biomechanical modelling: modelling of simple biomechanical problems of hypo - or hyper- elastic behaviour and solutions to contact problems.

    A practical course follows with a calculation code in finite elements by machine.

    Links between course units:

    The application fields of the finite element method presented above are often encountered in the industrial world. In addition the SMS and CIS centres have recognized competences in all three fields.

    The notions introduced during the course are dealt with in a concrete fashion through case studies during the practical work sessions with a calculation code in finite elements by machine.
