International Master in Structural Mechanics and Coupled Systems - MR15101A

Presentation of the Master

This Master program takes place at Conservatoire national des arts et métiers (Cnam), Paris downtown, France, in the heart of the Ville Lumière (the City of Light), Marais district, in a vibrant multi-cultural international and stimulating environment. Recognized by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the diploma is awarded upon successful completion of a specialized program of study and opens the way to a professional career in an intercultural context or to further education towards the doctoral thesis. The Program’s faculty body include world-class academics and industry experts. Most of the lecturers of the program are members of the Structural Mechanics and Coupled Systems Laboratory (www.lmssc.cnam.fr/en), whose expertise is internationally recognized in the following fields:

Linear and non-linear structural dynamics Fluid-structure interaction and vibro-acoustics Smart structures and interface Source identification and noise control

Skills Learned of objectives

• To provide the best references of the industrial and academic state of the art to those, who work in the fields related to structural engineering in the context of multidisciplinary design



• To develop communication skills between individuals and teams in the context of the company and its organization in order to understand social relations within the company and to apprehend the intercultural dimension of relations in the professional environment



• To raise awareness of the corporate culture of major French groups and the project management methods in force to integrate this know-how into project management.

Application:

• 2-page curriculum vitae (CV);
• Copy of Bachelor degree, and Master degree (if any);
• Transcripts of grades of all previous degrees;
• Signed motivation letter indicating if asking admission at the M1 or M2 level, and asking for scholarship;
• English certificate equivalent to B1 for M1 (1st year), B2 for M2 (2nd year), according to the CEFRL (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages); contact details (email, telephone, address) of two reference professors.
• Contact details (email, telephone, address) of two reference professors.

Students coming from outside the European Union have to apply via Campus France (https://www.campusfrance.org). Other students have to apply by email to the master coordinator.

Carreer

This Master offers possibilities to start a career in line with the changing world of mechanics in the broad sense. Indeed, the wide use of composite materials in transportation industry associated to performance and dependability demands require the design of innovative mechanical structures of increasing complexity. Emerging problems in the field of mechanics (e.g. vibration control, fluid-structure interaction, structural optimization) require multidisciplinary approaches to develop test scenarii and ensure the reliability of structures designed and validated in a numerical environment.
