Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Plan, manage and lead projects in view of their objectives, resources and constraints, ensuring the quality of activities and deliverables.
• Assess the approach and achievements, adapt them in view of the observations and feedback received, make necessary adjustments and corrections.
• Imagine, design, carry out and operate machinery, mechanical systems and mechanical production units to provide a solution to a complex problem by integrating needs, constraints, context and technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental issues.
• Identify complex problems to be solved and develop the specifications by integrating needs, contexts and technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental issues.
• Optimally design and calculate the dimensions of machinery, mechanical systems and mechanical production units, based on state of the art, a study or model, addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Evaluate the approach and results for their adaptation or optimisation of the proposed solution.
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out mechanical engineering missions, with a focus on Design and Production, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques related to the mechanics of solids and fluids, energy exchanges, dynamic and vibratory behaviour of systems, manufacturing and mechanical production, operating machines, and production management (organisation, maintenance, quality).
• Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.
• Plan, manage and lead projects in view of their objectives, resources and constraints, ensuring the quality of activities and deliverables.
• Assess the approach and achievements, adapt them in view of the observations and feedback received, make necessary adjustments and corrections.

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of the instruction, the students will be able to understand the exploitation of experimental vibrations (signals measurement, data-acquisition, industrial hardware and software, signal processing) in frequency and time domains; to get a basic knowledge of experimental modal analysis: practice, multi-channel survey, principle of some typical methods, limitations, validation; to propose efficient solutions in order to limit the structural vibrations (vibrations absorber, isolation, balancing technique, structural updating).

Content of UE

State-of-art in vibration data acquisition: signal processing: vibration classification, vibration sensors, signal processing; vibration analysis and post-processing: modal analysis theory and practice; anti-vibration solutions: applications of modal analysis, isolation, dynamic absorbers.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• N/A

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

see corresponding LO

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

• Oral Examination

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

The assessment is based on the laboratory reports (20% of the mark) and an oral examination (80% of the mark). During the oral examination (maximal duration: 4 hours), the students are allowed to consult (without writing) their notes during 10 minutes after having received the question. They then answer in a synthetic way on a sheet of paper from which they orally expose their answer.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Oral examination
• N/A

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

Same as 1st session. The mark for the laboratory reports is automatically carried over, unless the student refuses it, in which case the oral examination is affected 100% of the mark.
