Mechanical Engineering

Approaching the design, dimensioning and construction of a mechanical system, as well as the study of its operation. The 1st part makes it possible to understand the architecture of a mechanical system from the description of the connections between the parts and to define the toleranced geometry of the functional surfaces. The 2nd part makes it possible to establish the equations of motion of a system of solids, from a Newtonian approach or a Lagrangian approach based on the principle of virtual power. The 3rd part makes it possible to dimension the slender deformable structures in stresses and displacements, from the internal forces induced by the loading and the reactions to the connections.

• Mechanical Technology Program: Forces and connections in mechanical systems. Functional specifications and product definition.
• General and analytical mechanics of rigid body systems: Description of the movement, fundamental principle, principle of virtual powers (PPV), model assumptions. PPV for a single solid, definition of the different torsors, kinetic energy theorem. PPV for a system of solids, diagramming of connections, Lagrange equations. Limits of the model.
• Strength of materials: Definition, diagram of a beam and model assumptions; inner efforts. Elastic sizing. Constitutive law. Limits.

Important information about the assessment:

• In the event of an unjustified absence from an assessment, the score for this assessment is then zero.
• Only excused absences can give access to remedial sessions.
