Description

In this course the student should acquire the basic knowledge in solid mechanics :

• Fundamentals for plasticity of metals and polymers and phenomenological aspects of the plastic flow behaviour;
• Presentation of constitutive equations in plasticity and visco-plasticity and the numerical modelling of these theories (application to metals and polymers);
• Introduction to damage behaviour of materials;
• Special emphasis in the implementation of different material models into octave scripts or FORTRAN/python codes.

Compétences visées

• Assimilate the main concept of material behaviour.
