The behavior (flow, adhesion,...) of a yield stress fluid along a solid surface is a recurrent problem in many industrial processes. The non-Newtonian character of...

Yield stress fluids have amazing mechanical properties: below a particular shear stress, called yield stress, the fluid behaves like a solid. Once the yield stress is...

This work is based on an experimental analysis of the dynamical processes which occur within soft glassy materials. The first part provides measurement results of...

Plumes are known to migrate through the ductile quasi-Newtonian mantle, while dikes fracture and propagate through the solid lithosphere. However, depending on the...

This thesis focuses on the experimental study of physical properties and biomechanics of embryonic cell aggregates. The aim of this thesis was on one hand to better...
