This course, realised in pairs, offers an opportunity to deepen one of your Mechanics courses or conclude a study with a strong Mechanics component on a topic chosen by the student. This work enables to implement a complete project approach in solid or fluid mechanics on a concrete case. It is designed as a practical and advanced application of specific courses of Mechanics Department.
The promblem resolution will be realized essentially through digital methods. It is also possible to make use of experimental techniques in some cases.
You will work in pairs and will generally be able to direct your study in the direction of your choice. You will benefit a scientific framework on the subject itself and technique on implementation.
You can also consult the http://www.phys.ens.fr/~dormy/MEC512 site for more updated information.
Schedule:
- Topic choice will be made by pairs at the start of the EA, but should be made before summer for the P3A+EA formula (conctact directly E. Dormy by mail in this case).
- Projects will start in September
Validation:
- End of P1: Redaction of a non-graded report and interview
- End of P2: Redaction of a scientific report (20-30 pages) and defense (30 minutes + questions)
