The purpose of mechanics is to study fluid and solid media as well as the systems that result from them. It studies their properties, deformations and movements, combining theory, numerical modelling and experimental implementation. The fields of application of mechanics are numerous: we can mention transport, energy, the environment, health and it is naturally at the heart of many industrial processes. The training provided by the Department of Mechanics prepares students for engineering jobs in the application sectors of mechanics as well as for jobs in academic and industrial research.
The Department of Mechanics is one of the 8 departments of the Faculty of Sciences of Aix-Marseille University. It is located on the Technopôle de Château-Gombert.

The content of the courses is strongly linked to the research laboratories of the Fabri de Peiresc Federation, which includes four laboratories:
The Department of Mechanics is attached to the Doctoral School (ED353) Engineering Sciences "Mechanics, Physics, Micro and Nanoelectronics
Our training courses prepare students for access to research as well as for training in industrial sectors such as aeronautics, space, fire safety, the environment, energy, mechanical systems, structures and composite materials, etc.
The department maintains close links with competitiveness clusters such as Pégase, Cap'énergie or the Risk cluster. In addition, the department is a partner in technological platforms such as the Inovsys platform and the Composite Materials and Plastics platform.

The TECHBIER
The TECHBIER is a work to be done in pairs (TP pairs) with the following two objectives.
OBJECTIVE 1 : To produce a rigid poster that can be fixed on a wall and that exposes a real mechanical system in the most explanatory way.
The system is chosen by the pair among discarded objects, it must contain a transformation of movement between the motor and receiver element (example: crank rod, rack and pinion, ...).
The choice is validated by the teacher.The object must be dismantled and the parts positioned as on an exploded perspective.
A functional analysis (APTE, FAST, ...) must be included on the poster (in order to show the transformation of movement).
The nomenclature of the main parts should also be included in order to list the materials used.
amortisseur.jpgmetronome.jpgOBJECTIVE 2 : to make an oral presentation (ppt and pdf format, containing a maximum of 5 slides) that will explain the Product/Process/Material relationship for a particular part of the system.
Examples from last year are visible.
The evaluation will judge the aesthetics of the realization (20%), the technological study (30%) and the justification of the choice of materials (50%).

Situational Activities - AMS
The students must obtain a result or answer a simple question, without any guidance.
They have free access to materials and software and must, based on the course and tutorials, propose solutions and implement them. This approach is very effective in developing autonomy and reflection on the course.
Beyond these skills, it initiates a deeper questioning of the meaning of what is taught: the confrontation with experimental difficulties (even on simple experiments) quickly sweeps away the impression that "everything is made of formulas" and shows that knowledge is a way of understanding the world and not a compulsory exercise for the validation of a diploma.

Internship calendar by training course
Course and agreement
The subject of the internship must be identified by the company and validated by the department concerned after consultation. The internship in the company takes place according to the terms and conditions described in the agreement.
Each trainee has a contact person in the mechanical department during this period. The trainee writes a report on his professional activity. He must agree with his tutors on the content and form of his internship report. He must also think about allowing sufficient time for the writing of the report.
This can, in agreement with the company, be done during the hours of presence in the host company. The internship report must be signed by the tutor of the host company and submitted 8 days before the exam. A presentation is organized at the end of the internship in the form of an oral defense before a jury. The evaluation of the internship includes the report, the oral presentation and the assessments of the company tutor. In accordance with article 12 of the agreement, the trainee must obtain an internship certificate from the host company. If you have projects to propose to our students, do not hesitate to contact the department.
