Chaque module vaut 3 ECTS. Vous sélectionnez 10 modules/30 ECTS parmi les catégories suivantes:
- 12-15 crédits ECTS en Modules technico-scientifiques (TSM)
Les modules TSM vous transmettent une compétence technique spécifique à votre orientation et complètent les modules de spécialisation décentralisés. - 9-12 crédits ECTS en Bases théoriques élargies (FTP)
Les modules FTP traitent de bases théoriques telles que les mathématiques élevées, la physique, la théorie de l’information, la chimie, etc., vous permettant d’étendre votre profondeur scientifique abstraite et de contribuer à créer le lien important entre l’abstraction et l’application dans le domaine de l’innovation. - 6-9 crédits ECTS en Modules contextuels (CM)
Les modules CM vous transmettent des compétences supplémentaires dans des domaines tels que la gestion des technologies, la gestion d’entreprise, la communication, la gestion de projets, le droit des brevets et des contrats, etc.

The course deals with fundamental and technical issues associated with designing and maintaining structures that resist failure from cyclic loading. Students will be taught the principles of fatigue testing and analyzing fatigue failures of materials, addressing the questions of how fatigue behaviour is characterized, how fatigue failure is predicted, which physical mechanisms are responsible for fatigue initiation and propagation in various materials, with particular attention to metals and structural alloys, and how such behaviour is related to the microstructure of the material.
This course will also introduce key applications of fatigue design in industry, including failure analysis, fatigue life calculations, experimental techniques and destructive and non-destructive methods of damage detection and characterization.
