We studied in this thesis examples of large deflections of thin plates subjected to various constraints (gravity, capillarity, geometrical), ranging in scale from...

The object of the present work is the development and application of a quite general approach to optimal design of composite laminates where elastic symmetries can...

International audience

An improved method is presented for the analysis of the shear and peel stresses in adhesively-bonded joints in structures subjected to bending and buckling. The method...

This thesis deals with elasto-capillary interactions. Although capillary force is negligible at large scales, it becomes preponderant at small scales, at the point...

Remarkable nanoscale electro-thermo-mechanical properties of silicon nanowires are increasingly studies. This experimental thesis investigates such properties for...

International audience

In mountainous areas, infrastructures, roads and railways are subject to various natural hazards due to the gravitational phenomena. Beyond the danger to users, the...

We present a numerical study of the shape taken by a spherical elastic surface when the volume it encloses is decreased. For the range of 2D parameters where such...

The stability of thin cylindrical shells has been studied for decades, but despite the accumulated knowledge on the subject, important questions remain, in particular...
