Les joints adhésifs sont de plus en plus utilisés dans des structures industrielles critiques. Ils sont donc susceptibles de subir des chargements dynamiques complexes. Les méthodes de caractérisation dynamiques existantes ne caractérisent pas seulement le joint adhésif, mais l'assemblage collé tout entier. Cette thèse propose une méthode innovante...
The LIGO project is a large-scale physics experiment the goal of which is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. It is composed of two instruments identical in design, located in the United States. The two instruments are specialized versions of a Michelson interferometer with 4km-long arms. They observed a gravitational-w...
Three-dimensional (3-D) large-scale imaging of microvascular networks is of interest in various areas of biology and medicine related to structural, functional, developmental, and pathological issues. Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) techniques are rapidly spreading and are now on the way to offer operational solutions for large-scale tis...
Combustion in cryogenic engines is a complex phenomenon, involving either liquid or supercritical fluids at high pressure, strong and fast oxidation chemistry, and high turbulence intensity. Due to extreme operating conditions, a particularly critical issue in rocket engine is wall heat transfer which requires efficient cooling of the combustor wal...
In addition to enabling movement towards environments with favourable living conditions, swimming by microorganisms has also been linked to enhanced mixing and improved nutrient uptake by their populations. Experimental studies have shown that Brownian tracer particles exhibit enhanced diffusion due to the swimmers, while theoretical models have li...
The shear strength of the concrete-rock interface is a key factor in assessing the stability against sliding of concrete dams founded on rock. While several studies have shown that both surface roughness and the initial cohesion contribute to the shear strength, most of the recommendations for the stability assessment of dams propose conventional v...
