Withdrawal
It is not allowed to withdraw from this subject after the registration deadline.Summary
The Experimental Methods in Engineering Mechanics course is intended to give an advanced view of experimental methods used to study mechanics problems by way of example. Students will construct significant components of experimental apparatus and collect & interpret the resulting data.Content
Typically three experimental modules will be used that draw techniques from analog electronics and image processing in order to probe the mechanics of several different problems, including contact mechanics and elasticity.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student must be able to:- Analyze and design assemblies of simple mechanical elements in the framework of static and buckling, S2
- Characterize experimentally the steady-state or dynamic response of solids, fluids, S11
- Describe in scientific terms and apply the principles of tribology and contact mechanics, S13
- Analyze a linear dynamical system (both time and frequency responses), A3
- State the conserved quantities in a given flow and link them to a physical-mathematical description, AH13
Transversal skills
- Take responsibility for health and safety of self and others in a working context.
- Assess one's own level of skill acquisition, and plan their on-going learning goals.
- Continue to work through difficulties or initial failure to find optimal solutions.
- Manage priorities.
- Collect data.
Teaching methods
Students will be involved in each experimental module from the construction of the experiment through the writing of the report on the data. Students could be involved in assesssing the reports of others in a `peer-review' process.
Expected student activities
Participation in collecting, analyzing and compiling experimental data; involvement in writing the reports.
Assessment methods
During the semester, reports will be a key component of student assessment. Quality of writing, thoroughness of data collection and analysis, and clarity of presentation are key parameters.
The first report will count for 30 % of the grade; the second and third reports will count for 24 % each, while the grading of other reports of modules 2 and 3 will count for 11% of the grade each, for a total of 22 % of the grade.
