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. ...
Introduction to polymer physics and the link between chemical structure and macroscopic properties, with emphasis on morphology and thermomechanical behaviour, polymer technology and manufacturing techniques, providing a basis for the rational selection of ...
Une introduction à la science des matériaux appliquée aux matériaux de construction courants, en particulier le béton et les métaux. Description de leur fabrication, leurs comportements mécanique et thermique et leur utilisation en construction. ...
Develop your own machines to meet your scientific needs. Learn how to build high-pressure, high-temperature machines, as well as low-to-high-speed friction machines for geomechanics experiments. Additionally, gain knowledge about commonly used sensors in g ...
The course discusses the basic principles of structural mechanics, analyzing the performance of materials and structures against loading and focuses on the stress strain relationships and the effect of axial, bending, shear and torsional loadings on engin ...
The course introduces students to the fundamentals of the mechanics of soils and fluid-infiltrated
porous media. The first part is devoted to the constitutive behavior of soils in
dry conditions, while the second part accounts for the presence of pore wate ...
