The work deals with the removal by slow pyrolysis of epoxy resin from samples of spent nuclear fuel embedded in this polymer. Beyond the nuclear field, epoxy resin removal by pyrolysis is a typical issue for the recovery of metals in electronic waste. The main objective is to find the optimal conditions to remove hydrogen in the residual solid wast...

In this paper, an original approach is proposed to compare modeling and relevant statistical experiments using-Ti21S Body Centered Cubic (BCC) metal as a challenging benchmark. Our procedure allows the evolution of microstructural defects to be tracked in situ with excellent spatial resolution, while observing a bulk sample region sufficiently larg...
K0.5Na0.5NbO3 thin films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition on (100)MgO substrates for microwave device applications. A fine epitaxial growth of pure perovskite phase was evidenced by X-ray diffraction. Dielectric characterizations were performed from 1 to 40 GHz using coplanar microwave devices printed on the 500 nm-thick K0.5Na0.5NbO3 thin...

This work addresses the numerical simulation of transformation plasticity by using a numerical scheme based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT). A two-phase material with isotropic thermo-elastoplastic phases is considered. Together with prescribed transformation kinetics, this permits to describe the plasticity induced by the accommodation of the ...
Wind turbine blades are the key components that allow the extraction of energy from the wind; these blades are often subjected to accidental impacts which usually occurs on moving blades with maintenance tools, hail, or flying birds, resulting in a significant degradation of the structural integrity of the blade. In this paper, a numerical simulati...
Here, the structural, electronic and optical properties of the GaP 1-x Sb x /Si tandem materials association are determined in view of its use for solar water splitting applications. The GaPSb crystalline layer is grown on Si by Molecular Beam Epitaxy with different Sb contents. The bandgap value and bandgap type of GaPSb alloy are determined on th...
