Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Main themes
- The objective of the course is to show analytically -in simple cases- and numerically how to model and solve an important class of so-called planar structures, i.e. such that their mechanical problem is reduced to two space dimensions.
- The problems involve " long " solids under plane strain, " thin " solids under plane stress and thin or thick plates under bending loads.
- For each class of problems, appropriate formulations will be developed, together with their finite element discretization, in view of their numerical resolution using a specialized software.

Teaching methods
Travaux pratiques :
- Resolution of several relatively simple problems dealing usually with direct applications of the theory (e.g., tube under inner and outer pressures, stress concentration in a plate with a small circular hole, force on the straight edge of a semi-infinite plate, bending of a circular plate under axisymmetric loading, etc.)
- Use of a finite element numerical software, in order to understand the main steps of the method (geometry definition, input of material data and other problem parameters, space and time discretization, solver algorithms, post-processing and visualization of computation results).
