Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Teaches, based on experimental observations, how to build mathematical models describing the non linear behavior of solids, especially elasto-plastic, visco-plastic and visco elastic material models. Subsequently describes the numerical algorithms suited for model solution.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Being able to
- Understand and design complex material models
- Understand numerical techniques to solve the model
- Use a finite element code for structure simulation in the elastic-plastic domain.
This course contributes to the learning outcomes I.1, I.2, II.1, II.2, II.3, III.1, III.2, III.3, III.4, IV.1, IV.2, V.2, VI.1, VI.2, VII.1, VII.2, VII.3, VII.4, VII.5 of the MSc in biomedical engineering.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Exercises + personal project
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
1st quadrimester. Face to face + exercices + computer project.
Recommended or required readings
English version of the slides available via eCampus.
First session takes place in January
If there is a project:
Theory and applications: oral exam (70%)
Personal project (30%) - The grade for the project is final.
If there is no project: 100% for the oral exam (theory + applications)
Work placement(s)
Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
