	MECA0446-1   Continuum Mechanics Duration :   30h Th, 30h Pr Credits/ECTS :   Bachelor in engineering sciences, civil engineer orientation (Bachelor in engineering sciences, civil engineer orientation), 3rd year First semester 5 Master in Biomedical Engineering, in-depth approach, 2nd year First semester 5 Master in Engineering Physics, in-depth approach, 1st year First semester 5 Master in Engineering Physics, specialized approach, 1st year First semester 5 Holder(s) :   Jean‑Philippe Ponthot Language :   French language Course contents :   The goal is to establish a general theoretical framework in which all conservation laws can be expressed in a very general way. The theory of constitutive models, including the study of the main axioms that are generally assumed is then introduced. In particular it is shown that linear models, both for fluids and solids, are particular cases of the general non linear theory. Eventually, some introductions to techniques aiming at finding approximate solutions to partial differential equations are introduced. Course objective :   In depth understanding of the fundamental hypothesis, and the implications of such hypothesis, that governs the movement of a continuum body. Prerequisites :   Mechanics of materials. Workshops :   Exercises + personal project Organization :   1st quadrimester. Written notes :   English version of the slides available via WebCT. French version of lecture notes is available at the AEES. Assessment :   Theory : oral exam (50%) Exercises : written exam (20%) Personal project (30%) Contacts :   JP Ponthot JP.Ponthot@ulg.ac.be M Mengoni mmengoni@ulg.ac.be Home Search by Faculty Search by teacher Search by course code and title
