Fatigue limit evaluations of a complex structure by using temperature measurements

The study deals with the long-term reliability of a high precision pressure sensor using bellows mainly made of electroplated Ni. The bellows are expected to stay in service for many decades. Their high cycle fatigue behavior has to be known to…

Engineering Damage Mechanics : Ductile, Creep, Fatigue and Brittle Failures

Engineering Damage Mechanics is deliberately oriented toward applications of Continuum Damage Mechanics to failures of mechanical and civil engineering components in ductile, creep, fatigue and brittle conditions depending upon the thermomechanical…

Accounting for nonlinear aspects in multiphysics problems: Application to poroelasticity

Multiphysics phenomena lead to computationally intensive structural analyses. Recently, a new strategy derived from the LATIN method was described and successfully applied to the consolidation of saturated porous soils. One of the main achievements…

Thermodynamics modelling of internal friction and hysteresis of elastomers

The study of the physical structure of filled elastomers makes us able to identify the state variables needed to model the behavior of elastomeric materials. We build a thermodynamics potential (written for finite strains and in 3D) which accounts…

Prevalent material parameters governing spalling of a slag-impregnated refractory

In steel ladle linings, bauxite refractories in contact with iron and steel slag are subjected to complex loadings. To identify the causes of degradation in different reactor linings, a coupling diagram made up of three poles is established: namely,…

Experimental and numerical analysis of interply porosities in composites thermoforming

Effective forming of Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites requires a detailed understanding and modeling of the forming mechanisms and the development of computational techniques for process simulation. A re-compaction stage is…

Prévisions d’inflation pour la France

In this paper, we estimate and analyse a set of equations of French inflation for forecasting purpose at the horizon of three months, six months and one year. A different equation is associated to each horizon. This approach has the advantage of…

Les soldes d’opinion résument-ils au mieux les réponses des entreprises aux enquêtes de conjoncture ?

Business surveys aim at getting, as quickly and as simply as possible, the recent and probable changes in economic activity. Answers to most of the questions are qualitative with three modalities (qualification of an evolution: up / stable / down)…

Fast estimation of localized plasticity and damage by energetic methods

Structural failure often follows the initiation of cracks occurring at corners, free edges or interfaces. Continuum damage mechanics gives quantitative information about such cracking. But when used in a fully coupled manner (with elasticity and…

A new computational method for structural vibrations in the medium-frequency range

In the paper a new approach for the computation of slightly damped elastic structural vibrations over the medium frequency range is proposed. The effective quantities (deformation energy, vibrational intensity, etc ...) are evaluated after…
