MECA0067-1  Special Technology Issues

Duration :  30h Th, 30h Pr
Number of credits :  
Master in Mechanical Engineering, in-depth approach, 2nd yearToute l'année5
Lecturer :  Jean‑François Debongnie
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Course contents :  
This course is dedicated to analycal models of forming processes. Contents :

Elementary applications of plasticity in bending processes. Plastic flow theory. Plane strain problems : plane forging, rolling. Plane stress problems : drawing. Extremum principles : discontinuous velocity fields, shortest path theory. Spatial problems : wire drawing, extrusion, cup extrusion. Kinematical method of concentrated shear. Strain hardening effects.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
The objective of these lessons is to give some methods for an elementary analysis of forming processes. These methods are, of cours of less potential than the numerical models, but they are often useful in a preliminary analysis where the essential parameters have to be identified.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
Prerequisites : General mechanics, manufacturing principles, general principles of continuum mechanics.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
Oral course. As exercises, numerical applications of the theory.
At the exam, a student is required to be able to solve problems of the same type as in the course.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
face-to-face course.
Recommended or required readings :  
Book "Questions spéciales de technologie", ISBN 2-9600313-1-8. It is a fair reproduction of the oral course.
Assessment methods and criteria :  
Open book oral exam. What is required is a fair understanding.
Organizational remarks :  
The course is given during the first quadrimester.
