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 ...
Ce cours propose une introduction à la mécanique analytique. Il introduit les formalismes lagrangien et hamiltonien, en insistant sur leur capacité à simplifier la description des systèmes contraints, des symétries et des lois de conservation. Il présente ...
This course provides practical experience in the numerical simulation of fluid flows. Numerical methods are presented in the framework of the finite volume method. A simple solver is developed with Matlab, and a commercial software is used for more complex ...
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 ...
This course will cover mathematical concepts and efficient numerical methods for geometric computing. We will explore the beauty of geometry and develop algorithms to simulate and optimize 2D and 3D geometric models with an emphasis towards computational d ...
Following an introduction of the main plasma properties, the fundamental concepts of the fluid and kinetic theory of plasmas are introduced. Applications concerning laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasmas are discussed throughout the course. ...
