The objective of this work is to explore and better understand the mechanisms responsible for the formation and growth of the grain structure in polycrystalline...

This paper proposes an extensionalist analysis of computer simulations (CSs). It puts the emphasis not on languages nor on models, but more precisely on symbols, on...

This thesis presents algorithms allowing parallelization in the time direction in the simulation of systems, which are governed by partial differential equations....

The use of hemp concrete, an environmentally friendly material, participates in a process of sustainable development in the residential sector. The association of...

The demolition of buildings caving is a technique which has become classic. The demolition generates nuisance that must be taken into account, under penalty of...

Studies on welding processes and the reliability of assembled structures currently appear as an area of active research, open and complex as they need to combine...

The new industrial superconductors using high critical temperature compounds offer new possibilities for superconducting magnetism. Indeed they allow higher magnetic...

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) display peculiar properties such as the superelastic behaviour or the shape memory effect, which are both the result of a solid/solid phase...

Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) offer new perspectives in various fields such as aeronautics, robotics, biomedicals, or civil engineering. Efficient design of such...

Ce travail porte sur l'apprentissage de la conduite moto. Il s'inscrit dans un effort d'analyse scientifique des comportements des motocyclistes novices, population...

Le contexte de ces travaux est l'évaluation de nouvelles infrastructures facilitant la traversée de rue en ville. Les outils de simulations actuels intègrent peu la...

Flows in turbomachines such as jet engines are subject to large vortical structures and strong turbulent intensities. In particular, secondary flows generated in the...
