Students will learn simple theoretical models, the theoretical background of finite element modeling as well as its application to modeling charge, mass and heat transport in electronic, fluidic and e
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. ...
This course addresses the implementation of organic and printed electronics technologies using large area manufacturing techniques. It will provide knowledge on materials, printing techniques, devices, systems, and applications: state of the art and curren ...
The state of the art in the domain of additive production processes
(the part is built by material addition without use of a shape tool) will be presented.
The main application/benefits/shortcomings of the common additive processes as well as
technologi ...
The first part of the course is devoted to the self-assembly of molecules. In the second part we discuss basic physical chemical principles of polymers in solutions, at interfaces, and in bulk. Finally, we look at colloids and emulsions. ...
Après les polymères et les métaux, ce cours aborde les relations mise en oeuvre-structures-propriétés des matériaux céramiques pour la fabrication de composants en microtechnique. Les travaux pratiques permettent de mettre en œuvre et caractériser les prop ...
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. ...
The latest developments in processing and the novel generations of organic composites are discussed.
Nanocomposites, adaptive composites and biocomposites are presented. Product development, cost analysis and study
of new markets are practiced in team work ...
This introductory course in tribology (science of friction, lubrication and wear) has specific goals : to present the basic principles of tribology, to develop the attitude to analyse tribological and
