The lack of cristalline structure in metallic glasses suggests that no mechanical size effect could be expected. However, if the sample size decreases, a transition...

This thesis explores the use of damage models to predict the onset and propagation of cracks in a coherent manner. The results are based on the definition of a bulk...

This thesis deals with the structure and reactivity of alumina supported palladium clusters used as model catalysts. The main purpose of this work is to depict the...

This work aimed at better understanding the (de)lithiation and aging mechanisms in LiFePO4 and silicon-based electrodes for Li-ion batteries from multiscale...

In this work, we study the mechanical behaviour of crushable granular materials under quasi-static loading. It is well known that the higher the breakage ratio, the...
