Part 2: Mechanical finite element analysis
Discover the potential of industrial codes dedicated to the simulation of forming processes.

Content(s)

Part 1: Practical work in materials science

The cycle includes 7 of the following 8 practical sessions (7 sessions of 4h):

1a - Microstructures of steels and cast irons
1b - Embrittlement of steels or Jominy test
2a - Recrystallization of aluminum
2b - Structural hardening of an aluminum alloy
3 - Ductile fracture of aluminum (Cotterell test)
4 - Creep of zinc
5 - Sintering of a ceramic (ZnO)
6 - Thermal shock of ceramics

Part 2: Mechanical finite element analysis
Simulation of a forming process using an industrial finite element code (Ansys, Forge2, Forge3). Emphasis is placed on the use of the behavior laws seen in the Mechanical Properties UE (plasticity, viscoplasticity).
