Pratiques du Dimensionnement en Mécanique

4.5

Les structures mécaniques qui nous entourent (automobile, avion, ponts…), se déforment sous l’effet de chargements extérieurs. Le rôle du concepteur est de faire en sorte que ces déformations ne nuisent pas au bon fonctionnement des structures. Pour cela, il dispose de différents outils de dimensionnement :la théorie des poutres permet, dans le cas où les solides possèdent des géométries élancées, d’obtenir rapidement des dimensions adaptées aux différents critères du cahier des charges ;la mécanique des milieux continus permet de dépasser ces restrictions sur la géométrie mais possède l’inconvénient majeur de conduire à des problèmes mathématiques complexes dont on ne peut extraire la solution ;la simulation numérique, via la méthode des éléments finis, permet de fournir une solution approchée au problème de mécanique des milieux continus et donc de finaliser le dimensionnement.L’objectif pédagogique principal est de présenter et de mettre en œuvre les différents outils de dimensionnement en calcul de structures. L’originalité du cours est de mettre en évidence les atouts de ces outils, tout comme leurs limites, au travers d’un même support qui constituera un fil conducteur.

Managing Teams

0

Learn how to manage a team. Discover how to set shared goals, delegate tasks, manage performance, and develop each member of the team.Managing a team of people in the workplace requires continuous learning for today's managers and team leaders. Learn how to bring out the best in your team in this course with Duke University professor Dr. Daisy Lovelace. Daisy explains how to set shared goals, delegate tasks, manage performance, and develop each member of the team by providing feedback and training. Daisy also addresses the challenges and solutions to managing different types of teams: virtual, global, intergenerational, and cross-functional. Plus, find out how to manage difficult behavior and underperformance.

Dynamical System and Control

0

This course ‘Dynamical systems and control’ is a basic course offered to PG students and final year UG students of Engineering/Science background. The objective of this course is to enhance the understanding of the theory, properties and applications of various dynamical and control systems. After completing the course one may be able to understand some of the important aspects of dynamical systems such as mathematical modeling, well posedness (existence, uniqueness and stability) of the considered problem. The participants will also be conversant with the controllability, stabilizability and optimal control aspects of a dynamical system. Most Dynamical systems-physical, social, biological, engineering are often conveniently expressed (modeled) in the form of differential equations with or without control. Such mathematical models can provide an insight into the behavior of real life system if appropriate mathematical theory and techniques are applied. In this context this course has tremendous applications in diverse fields of engineering and technology. INTENDED AUDIENCE : UG/PG students of technical institutions/ universities/colleges. PREREQUISITES : Basic concepts from Linear Algebra and Ordinary Differential Equations
