This class adresses scaling laws in MEMS/NEMS. The dominant physical effects and scaling effects when downsizing sensors and actuators in microsystems are discussed, across a broad range of actuation principles. ...
The course deals with the design of precast reinforced concrete structures, both for bridges and for buildings.
The course is focused in learning by projects supplemented by some lectures by the teachers.
The students will work in groups to design a preca ...
The course focuses on the dynamic analysis of 3D structures using the finite element method in the context of linear elasticity. Students will gain proficiency in numerical techniques widely employed in static and dynamic structural analysis, and apply the ...
This course will focus on advanced behavioural modelling of reinforced concrete through analytical and numerical methods. It will build on previous studies to further the student's understanding of the mechanics of reinforced concrete at the material, elem ...
The engineering of existing structures encompasses the examination of condition and load-carrying capacity, decision criteria, and methods for rehabilitation or strengthening. This course presents the bases necessary for this approach at the level of mater ...
The UE TRC-LC3 Research Platform Fribourg will develop prototypes of structural elements in textile reinforced concrete (TRC) and Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) concrete that allow the continuation of the TRC prototype pavilion started at EPFL in 201 ...
Space environment is different from what we can experience on Earth, requiring specific design approaches in order to achieve reliable operations. Engineers must hence face new challenges stimulating their creativity to tackle those particular constraints. ...
