	MECA0058-1   Fracture mechanics, damage and fatigue Duration :   30h Th, 30h Pr Credits/ECTS :   civil engineering in electromechanics, 3rd year 5 civil engineering in physics, 3rd year Toute l'année 6 Master in Aerospatial Engineering, in-depth approach, 2nd year Deuxième quadrimestre 5 Master in Biomedical Engineering, in-depth approach, 2nd year Deuxième quadrimestre 5 Master in Engineering Physics, in-depth approach, 2nd year Deuxième quadrimestre 5 Holder(s) :   Ludovic Noels Language :   Langue française Course contents :   The course presents the bases of fracture mechanics. Failure of structures is explained by studying the physic of materials. This behavior is then modeled analytically. Finally numerical methods used in fracture mechanics are presented. Subjects covered by the lectures are Linear elasticity of fracture mechanics (LEFM) Non-linear fracture mechanics (NLFM) Fatigue Design approaches Prerequisites :   Elementary knowledges in Solid mecanics Finite-element method Written notes :   Reading material on WebCt (http://www.webct.ulg.ac.be/webct/logon/117191906001.) Assessment :   Evaluation is based on the realization of a project related to the use / development of numerical methods specific to fracture mechanics.
