Equipe: Multiscale Mechanics of Soft Solids

  Traction/compression machine ioperating in mode AC, DC or AC+DC thanks to the combibation of an electromagnetic transducer (loudspeaker) and a large stroke (200 mm) linear translation stage. Working vertically as well as horizontally,...

In its native, open loop mode, a torque ranging between 0.01 µN.m and 300 mN.m is applied to the rotor whilethe angular velocity is measured. A feed-back loop enables shear-rate controlled operations. Thanks to...

Team Honorary research fellow: Christiane Caroli In glasses, acoustic propagation presents  generic features thought to be  characteristic of topological structural disorder. Up to now, theoretical approaches to this question – fluctuating elasticity (FE) theories...

Team Permanent member: Olivier Ronsin   Hydrogels, composed essentially of solvent, are soft elastic materials in which the propagation of a fracture requireslarge deformations: the crack head is very blunt. It is therefore particularly...

Team Permanent member: Tristan Baumberger Extrusion is an industrial shaping process by which a fluid is pushed through a hole or a capillary. A wealth of instabilities are observed, either at the inlet, the...
