Contenus du cours :
|
||
| The class presents the basis of fracture mechanics. Failure of structures is explained by studying the physic of materials. This behavior is then modeled analytically. Finally numerical methods applied in fracture mechanics are presented.
Subjects covered by the lectures are

Modalités d'évaluation et critères :
|
||
| Evaluation is based on the realization of a project (30%) related to the use / development of numerical methods specific to fracture mechanics and on an written examination (70%). For the resit, if a grade of at least 10/20 has been given to the project, only the written examination will be redone.
The examination is based on the whole content of the class. Problems similar to the ones studied during the classes, and new problems will be part of the questions. Justification using the theoretical content is also asked. Participation to the examination, to the guest lectures, and achievement of the project are mandatory. |
