I teach structural mechanics, vibrations and acoustics at Le Cnam, to engineering students and professionals in continuing education.

Courses

Current courses

Engineering school

Structural vibrations

This course covers the fundamentals of vibrations in mechanical systems, including free and forced vibrations, damping, and resonance. Students will learn to analyze and model vibrating systems using both analytical and numerical methods. This course deals with the theory of vibrations, modal analysis, and the use of software tools for vibration analysis.
Engineering school

Rigid body dynamics

This course introduces the principles of rigid body dynamics, including kinematics, kinetics, and the equations of motion for rigid bodies. Students will learn to analyze the motion of rigid bodies in two and three dimensions, and apply these concepts to real-world engineering problems. This course includes numerical simulations and exercises to reinforce the theoretical concepts.
Engineering school

Manufacturing processes

This course covers the fundamentals of machining processes, including machining kinematics, CNC programming using G-code, and CAM software for generating machining operations and process plans. Students will also study machining variability, tolerances, and the calculation of manufacturing dimensions. Practical exercises and lab sessions provide hands-on experience in applying these concepts.
Engineering school

Introduction to research activities

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of research, including the research process, data collection and analysis, and the communication of results. Students will learn how to design and conduct research projects, as well as how to evaluate and interpret research findings.
