This paper presents the use of a specific layer-wise approach to analyze the results of a FABAC accelerated loading test (ALT) carried out on a flexible pavement with an initial flaw. The approach relies on M4-5n (Multi-particular Model of Multilayer Materials) initially developed for the analysis of debonding in composite materials. M4-5n was rece...
In this paper we present the results of the national French project SolDuGri dealing with pavement reinforcement by glass fiber grids. In this project, an accelerated pavements test (APT) was performed on 6 pavement sections to evaluate the in situ performance of the reinforcement on their lifetime. The tests consisted in building test sections wit...
Monitoring pavement condition during its service life is paramount in order to antici-pate and optimize the potential maintenance work. For this purpose, different non-destructive techniques (NDT) are used to evaluate the structure distresses condition and to provide necessary information for the maintenance tasks. On their own, they are limited to...
The modelling of complex steel structures under static loading using rigid perfectly plastic material is presented within the framework of second-order cone programming (SOCP). The classic upper and lower bound principles of yield analysis, naturally written as optimization problems, are formulated as a pair of dual second-order cone programs which...
This chapter is devoted to media in which plasticity and diffusion are coupled, such as electrode materials in lithium ion batteries. We present some recent results on the large time behavior of such media when they are submitted to cyclic chemo-mechanical loadings. Under suitable technical assumptions, we notably show that there is convergence tow...

The hypotheses were that firstly there is few early specific complications due to the use of a robotic-assisted system for unicompartimental knee arthroplasty (UKA), and secondly there are less revisions and complications after robotic-assisted UKA than after conventional UKA. 200 robotic-assisted UKA (175 patients) and 191 conventional UKA (179 pa...

Patellar component positioning and patellofemoral kinematics are of great importance in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The factors influencing patellar tilt are femoral rotation and lateral patellar release. However, the effect of patellar component size remains unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intra-operative risk factors for pat...
Cet article s’intéresse à la mobilité des ménages français (intégralement) démotorisés, c’est-à-dire ne possédant plus d’automobile mais en ayant eu au moins une par le passé. Si leur nombre est faible (seulement 8 % des ménages en France selon l’Enquête Nationale Transports et Déplacements (ENTD) de 2008), leur cas est intéressant pour la recherch...
