MICRO-200: Mechanism Design ICe cours introduit les bases de la mécanique des structures : calcul des contraintes et déformations provoquées par les forces extérieures et calcul des déformations. Ces enseignements théoriques sont appliqués à la conception des éléments importants des mécanismes de précision.
MSE-485: TribologyThis introductory course in tribology (science of friction, lubrication and wear) has specific goals : to present the basic principles of tribology, to develop the attitude to analyse tribological and to illustrate correlations between materials and tribological properties.
ME-628: High Strain Rate Mechanics of MaterialsThis course offers fundamentals concepts of material behavior under dynamic loads such as impact and shock. lt will cover experimental methods and analytical modeling approaches to describe the dynamic deformation behavior of metals, ceramics and polymeric materials.
ME-444: HydrodynamicsNondimensionalized Navier-Stokes equations result in a great variety of models (Stokes, Lubrification, Euler, Potential) depending on the Reynolds number. The concept of boundary layer enables us then to identify the different components of the hydrodynamic drag.
CIVIL-522: Seismic engineeringThis course deals with the main aspects of seismic design of buildings and bridges. It covers different structural design and evaluation philosophies for new and existing reinforced concrete and unreinforced masonry structures.
MICRO-201: Mechanism Design IILe second semestre du cours « Conception de mécanismes » développe les capacités créatrices de conception appliquées au domaine des mécanismes microtechniques. Il s'attache tant aux connaissances (composants, principes physiques, dimensionnement) qu'au processus cognitif de la conception en groupe.
ME-104: Introduction to structural mechanicsThe 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.
ME-302: Mechanical design principlesWe will study the working principles and physics of essential mechanical components for diverse applications in engineering mechanics. The course will serve as a vehicle to introduce and synthesize new mechanisms to strengthen the often-intuitive design processes.
