|
|
| Duration : | 25h Th, 25h Pr, 5h Proj. |
|
| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Frédéric Collin, Vincent De Ville De Goyet |
|
| Coordinator : | N... |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the second semester |
|
Course contents :
|
| 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 the course, students will be able to:
- know the origins of non linearities in civil engineering computations and understand how to implement them in a finite element code.
- perform a non linear modelling of an application (structures or geotechnics) and understand the difficulties of such computations.
|
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| The mathematical developments related to the numerical methods proposed in this course will rely on courses of mathematical analysis and numerical analysis.
The understanding of the physical phenomena treated as examples or applications will require basic knowledge in fluid, solid and structure mechanics.<br /><br /> Mathematical analysis and numerical analysis
- Numerical methods for linear problems
- Solid mechanics
- Structural mechanics
- Geotechnics
|
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Use of finite element codes for structures and for geotechnics, report elaboration for each practical case.
The course is composed of "ex-cathedra" lectures and exercises.
Exercices allow the students using finite element codes for structures and for geotechnics. A report will be written by the students for each practical case. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The lectures are delivered face-to-face. The attendance to all lectures is mandatory.
For the practical works, a part of the work must be achieved during dedicated sessions (see the planning of the course). During these sessions, the students are invited to interact with the teacher to solve their problems. A part of the work must also be achieved by the students at home. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Notes are available from the teachers. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Evaluation is based on the pratical work reports and on an oral exam on theory
In case of second session (septembre), the grade obtained for the reports will be kept and the theoretical part will be only evaluated. |
|
Work placement(s) :

|
Organizational remarks :
|
| The lessons are given during the 2nd quadrimestre, on Monday morning (8h30 - 12h30) and on Wednesday afternoon (13h30 - 17h30) |
