ME-104 / 6 crédits

Enseignant(s): Kim Sangwoo, Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis Pedro Miguel

Langue: Anglais


Summary

The student will acquire the basis for the analysis of static structures and deformation of simple structural elements. The focus is given to problem-solving skills in the context of engineering design.

Content

Keywords

Statics, Equilibrium, Mechanism, Structure

Learning Prerequisites

Required courses

There are no pre-requisites for this course.

Recommended courses

PHYS-101 General Physics: Mechanics (Physique générale: mécanique).

Important concepts to start the course

Familiarity with vector calculus, linear algebra and ordinary differential equations.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student must be able to:

  • Model and analytically solve simple problems of statics and stress analysis, S1
  • Analyze and design assemblies of simple mechanical elements in the framework of static and buckling S2

Transversal skills

  • Use a work methodology appropriate to the task.
  • Plan and carry out activities in a way which makes optimal use of available time and other resources.
  • Continue to work through difficulties or initial failure to find optimal solutions.
  • Assess one's own level of skill acquisition, and plan their on-going learning goals.

Teaching methods

Lectures, example problems, homework, practical demonstrations and hands-on activities.

Assessment methods

Final written exam (100% of the final grade)
