| Overview and structure of the course
- Notions of tensor calculus (6h):
Tensor calculus is an additional mathematical tool with respect to vector calculus. Its general theory is introduced before its particular use in the study of the beams.
- Basic knowledge in Material Mechanics (10h)
Global and local balance equations, notions of stress and yield locus
(links with algebra and mathematical analysis courses are made at this stage: differential and integral calculus, partial differential equations, calculus of variations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix, ...; with physics: notions of force, pressure, velocity, resulting forces, moments, couples, work, power,...)
- Beam concept
- Material properties
- Security concepts
- Tension, compression, bending, torsion, shear, combined solicitations
- Beams deflection
- Buckling
A priori lectures and practical works are given on the campus Sart Tilman. The students will be informed in the case of modifications.
Lectures: from 08h15 to 10h15 with break: lecture hall A204 (Europe) excepted on September 21st (start of the academic year) where the lecture will take place in lecture hall 202, building B7b (Petits Amphithéâtres).
Practical works: from 10h30 to 12h30, rooms S22, S24, S26, S34 (Physique TP, building B5b). |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| This course establishes a link between general courses of mathematics, physics and a particular field of the engineering: the mechanics of materials. It strides towards a double objective:
- To teach the students how to make use of notions studied in these general courses in broaching a new subject, implying to "mix" these notions and to develop the aptitude of synthesis and application;
- To give to the students the basics in Material Mechanics and to teach them how to apply these ones to some practical cases of beams.
For engineering students who shall specialize in civil engineering, architecture, mechanics, applied physics, this course will be of basic use for series of more specialized courses, such as mechanics of solids, theory of structures, knowledge of materials, ... It will enable them to integrate the notions of equilibrium and stress on the actual and unidimensional case of beams before studying applications requiring the use of full tensors in the course of Solid Mechanics.
For the others, this course is an education to scientific approach for engineers, while providing basic terminology that will be useful for discussions with specialists. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Course of « Physique Générale », of « Analyse Mathématique» and of « Algèbre » |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The course is based on units of 4 hours: 2 h of theory followed by 2 h of exercises.
- Lectures are ex-cathedra courses. They are taught in French. Time for questions is allowed especially after each lesson or during breaks.
- The active participation of students is required during exercises sessions. These exercises sessions, in French, are devoted to the solution of problems (2 h/week immediately after the lectures). A laboratory session is organised.
|
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Face-to-face lecture |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Classbooks in French (theory and exercises) are available by AEES. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
|
- Homework (in French): solution of problems
- Written exam (in French): open questions of theory (1 hour) and solution of problems (3 hours)
Authorized tools during exams:
- theory : none
- problems : notes
