M2 Mechanics of mAterials, damaGe, fracture and multIphySics (MAGIS)

Autonomously formulate a mechanical problem to meet a given objective, from modelling the system under study to modelling stresses and boundary conditions, proposing an associated solution approach.

The MAGIS Master offers high-level international training in mechanics of materials. It aims to train students in skills to understand, build and apply models linking materials, their microstructure, phase changes, damage, and cracking to their mechanical properties, whether coupled with other physics or not, for advanced industrial applications.
Students are trained in microstructural analysis methodologies (electron microscopy, spectral analysis, tomography, diffraction), field measurements for inverse property identification, modeling of deformation, damage, and cracking mechanisms, and the coupling between the various physical phenomena, as well as in simulation tools for the nonlinear mechanical behavior including methods using artificial intelligence.
The approach applies to a wide variety of materials (metals, ceramics, glasses, composites, polymers, foams, shape memory alloys, etc.) subjected to complex loadings (3D, quasi-random, anisothermal, multiphysics : thermal, electrical, magnetic, chemical, etc).
