Digital materials cover all stages of a material's life cycle, from its development to its use in various applications (energy, transport, etc.), through to its reuse or recycling. This theme lies at the heart of the processing–microstructure–properties triptych and plays…
The MŎVENTĔR project (Modelling the Ageing of Metallic Powders used in Additive Manufacturing), funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) through its "Young Researchers" instrument and led by Dr. Maelig Ollivier, was launched this autumn. The project aims to…
To celebrate five years of collaboration between the LGF and LTDS laboratories on the Addifab platform in Saint-Étienne, a plate illustrating the topography of the city of Saint-Étienne was manufactured. This topography is represented as a 2 mm thick shell…
Learning the constitutive laws of solids could lead to advancements in energy, electronics, and many other scientific and engineering applications. For a single-phase, homogeneous material, constitutive relations involving composition are straightforward to characterize. However, learning such laws for materials that…
When studying the deformation of metals at the micrometre scale, the regular and continuous behaviour usually observed macroscopically gives way to a jerky behaviour due to the localisation of so-called plastic events. This is explained by the intermittent and complex…
The COCONUT project (COmposite COntainer for safe and durable NUclear wasTe storage) developed an alternative concept for high-level waste storage containers resistant to corrosion over very long periods. It brought together the French National Radioactive Waste Management Agency (ANDRA) and…
