Research activities

 

Experimental characterisation, modelling and numerical implementation :

  • Thermomechanical behaviour of materials with heterogeneous microstructure (refractory ceramics, cast irons, PTFE polymers)
  • Multiphysics coupling (mechanical, thermal, phase change, diffusion)
  • Tools: ATG-DSC thermal analysis, dilatometry, SEM and OM, compression-tension test, bending under temperature, triaxial tests at room temperature, thermodynamics of irreversible processes, routine VISCOENDO software environment for implementing laws.

Numerical simulation of processes:

  • Cooling of foundry parts, compaction and sintering of PTFE parts, resistance of refractory parts subjected to high thermal stress.
  • Tools: ABAQUS for MEF calculations, VISCOENDO
