 |
| Course objective : | To Teache the bases of mechanics of materials |
 |
| Prerequisites : | Course of Solid Mechanics |
 |
| Workshops : | Exercises sessions, laboratory |
 |
| Organization : | The course is based on courses of theory, exercises sessions and laboratory activities.
- The courses of theory are ex-cathedra courses. They are taught in English. Time for questions is allowed especially after each lesson or during pauses.
- The active participation of students is required during exercises sessions. These exercises sessions, in French, are devoted to the solution of problems.
- Laboratory activities (in French) consist in experiments illustrating different aspects of the course. Reports are required from the students.
All sessions take place at Sart Tilman campus |
 |
| Written notes : | Book of "Mécanique des Matériaux" by Ch Massonnet and S. Cescotto
Classbooks in French (laboratory and exercises) are available by AEES |
 |
| Assessment : | Written open questions
Examination mode
Home works Intermediate test (in French): solution of problems Written exam (in French): open questions of theory (1 hour) and solution of problems (3 hours) Authorized tools during test and exam:
- theory : none
- problems : any book
