By the end of 2018, 42 years after the landing of the two Viking seismometers on Mars, InSight will deploy onto Mars’ surface the SEIS (Seismic Experiment for Internal Structure) instrument; a six-axes seismometer equipped with both a long-period three-axes Very Broad Band (VBB) instrument and a three-axes short-period (SP) instrument. These six se...
Post-processing the strain waves in split Hopkinson pressure bars to get the stress-strain in the sample requires the knowledge of the characteristic wave speed c0 in the measuring bars. In the context of metrology, the measurement uncertainty in the value of c0 must be assessed. The aim is to minimize this uncertainty, which depends on the way c0 ...
Cn² est la constante de structure de l'indice de réfraction provoquée par les variations de température, d'humidité et de pression dans l'atmosphère. Le profil de Cn² caractérise localement la force de la turbulence. La méthode CO-SLIDAR, développée par l’ONERA, permet de réaliser des profils de Cn² le long de la ligne de visée d'un télescope à par...

Knowledge of acoustic properties is crucial for ultrasonic or sonic imaging and signal detection in nondestructive evaluation (NDE), medical imaging, and seismology. Accurately and reliably obtaining these is particularly challenging for the NDE of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), such as is used in many water or gas pipes, because the properties ...
The Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method in cylindrical coordinates is used to describe electromagnetic wave propagation in a cold magnetized plasma. This enables us to study curvature effects in toroidal plasma. We derive the discrete dispersion relation of this FDTD scheme and compare it with the exact solution. The accuracy analysis of th...
