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 course aims to provide a concise understanding of how materials and structures react to loads. It covers the basics of stress and strain in multi dimensions, deformation and failure criteria. The course is tailored to problems students from life scien ...
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 ...
This course provides an in-depth coverage of mechanical and physical properties of Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC), in the framework of new concretes for sustainable structures. It provides an extended and comprehensive insight o ...
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 ...
The student has a basic understanding of the physical and physicochemical principles which result from the chainlike structure of synthetic macromolecules. The student can predict major characteristics of a polymer from its chemical structure and molecular ...
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 ...
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. ...
