Course contents :
 |
| Part : Linear This course is an introduction to linear numerical methods and to their applications in the field of civil and geological engineering. It deals with finite differences, finite elements and finite volumes.
Part : Non linear This course intend to give theoretical basis used in non linear finite elements codes for civil engineering : geometrical non linearities, application to beams structures, non linear constitutive models for building materials (steel, concrete...) and for geomaterials (soils, rocks, concrete...). Practical works are dedicated to numerical code use.

Learning outcomes of the course :
 |
| At the end of this class, the students will be able to use the analysis softwares available in pratical, and especially use them with a sound understanding of the limitations of the methods.The emphasis is put more on the theoretical fundamentals than on applications. Students will thus be able to solve a boundary value problem governed by differential equations, with the method of finite elements, finite differences or finite volumes.

 |
 | The objective of the classes is to make the students understand the basic principles of methods currently widely used in many software tools. The emphasis is put more on the theoretical fundamentals than on applications. |

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
 |
| Part: Linear The practical activities consists in the resolution of differential problems coming form fluid and solid mechanics using the methods presented in the theoretical classes (finite elements, finite differences, finite volumes)
Part : Non linear Use of finite element codes for structures and for geotechnics, report elaboration for each practical case.
