    • Yannick Deshayes
    • English
    Reliability of Photonics Devices discusses the advantages of training computer scientists with a knowledge base that is broad enough to adapt to the context of different companies, administrations and organizations. The book's focus is multidisciplinary, including the inclusion of computer science, information systems, organization and management, communication, professionalization and applied mathematics. The MIAGE sector is offered by 22 French universities, 6 of which offer a joint remote version, also shared by 5 associated foreign institutions.In this sector, students come from scientific or economics-management fields. Their mathematical background, without being elementary, is not that of a student engaged in a long mathematical field. The applied mathematics concepts of the MIAGE program focus on descriptive statistics, probabilities, data analysis, random processes and numerical simulation.

  • Multiscale Computation of Failure in Granular Materials

    • 1st Edition
    • Richard Wan
    • English
    Multiscale Computation of Failure in Granular Materials covers the multiscale modeling of geomaterials, referencing their mechanical and failure behaviors. Multiscale approaches introduce underlying particle micromechanics, giving way to enriched or structured macroscopic constitutive relationships endowed with small scale information. The pertinence of such models in continuum approaches, such as the finite element method in capturing rich failure modes implicating strain localization and fracture and diffuse phenomena is highlighted, along with an analysis of failure through discrete element modeling. Finally, the presence of liquid and gas phases within a granular material is covered in relation to saturated and partially saturated media.
