LAMEL platform (Mechanical engineering for undergraduates)

The overhaul of bachelor's degree courses as part of the LMD has led to the integration of mechanical engineering teaching units in a greater number of courses offered to students. The UFR also wanted to be fully integrated into the university's overall approach of giving pride of place to teaching through experimentation.
The LAMEL platform is designed primarily for 2nd-year undergraduates. It is based on a set of relatively simple experimental set-ups designed to enable students to demonstrate the most complex phenomena themselves.

The equipment

  • Practical exercise 1: (a) Elastic tension with comparator (b) Tensile strength at break: Concepts of stress/strain/Young's modulus
  • Practical exercise 2: Elastic traction with strain gage + bridge + laptop: strain gage measurement, acquisition, Young's modulus Poisson's ratio
  • Practical exercise 3: Bending a beam on two supports: empirical identification of the behavior law of a beam in bending
  • Practical exercise 4: Numerical modeling of a structure: comparison of experiment/modeling, dimensioning of a complex structure
  • Practical exercise 5: Free vibration of an embedded beam: determining the natural frequency of an embedded beam, mode of vibration
  • TP 6: Forced vibration of an embedded beam: response spectrum of an embedded beam

The users

2nd year undergraduates and students from other departments such as Polytech.
