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 ...
L'étudiant acquiert une initiation théorique à la méthode des éléments finis qui constitue la technique la plus courante pour la résolution de problèmes elliptiques en mécanique. Il apprend à appliquer cette méthode à des cas simples et à l'exploiter pour ...
This course deals with the main aspects of seismic design and assessment of buildings including conceptual design. It covers different structural design and evaluation philosophies for new and existing reinforced concrete, steel and unreinforced masonry bu ...
This course discusses materials physics associated with the mechanical and structural properties of solids, primarily focusing on the physics of dislocation defect dynamics and linking diffusion kinetics to the fundamental physics of phase transformations. ...
La mécanique des solides déformables est abordée pour déterminer les contraintes et déformations dans divers matériaux isotropes sollicités en traction, compression, cisaillement, torsion et flexion. Des structures de l'ingénierie et de la biologie sont tr ...
The course covers engineering applications and challenges in geomechanics, including stress-strain behavior of geomaterials in variousconditions, triaxial testing,and constitutive frameworks for elasticity and plasticity.Practical insights are gained throu ...
