Holder(s) :  Jacqueline Lecomte‑Beckers
Language :  Langue française
Course contents :  Description and use of different types of materials: metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. Origin and optimisation of mechanical and physical properties of materials. Selection of the optimal material in function of the required mechanical and/or physical properties. Concept of selection of materials for a typical application (high temperature, optical property,..). Practical cases of materials selection.



Course objective :  To choice the best material required by a particular application or for particular properties
Prerequisites :  PHYS0904 : Physics of materials
Workshops :  Workshops : Use of the software CES (Ashby) to select a material ; personal work on the design of a part (selection and optimisation of the required material); reading and oral presentation of a scientific article; factory visit.
Organization :  Theretical lectures; workshops; free working
Written notes :  Lectures notes available (centrale des cours de l'AEES). Copies of transparencies available during theoretical lectures.
Assessment :  Oral examination: Study of a practical application (CES) and explanation of the theory given during the lectures.
