Holder(s) :  Jacqueline Lecomte‑Beckers
Language :  French language
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 choose the best material required by a particular application or for particular properties
Prerequisites :  PHYS0904 : Physics of materials
Workshops :  Workshops : Use of the CES software (Ashby method) to select a material ; personal work on the design of a part (selection and optimisation of the required material), in english; factory visit.
Organization :  Lectures in English.Theoretical lectures; workshops; bibliographical research; free work on computer (CES)
