The Holy Grail for any mechanical engineer is to be able to use a material possessing high hardness, a good capacity to deform without breaking, and good crack resistance. However, these three properties are conflicting for most materials. A team…
Julien Favre has obtained ANR project funding on the general theme of additive manufacturing. This collaborative project will involve not only the Georges Friedel Laboratory, but also MATEIS, PIMM and CEA. Here is the abstract: Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF)…
François Villette, a post-doctoral researcher in the PMM team, working on the theme of TA3V deformation (ANR AFOTI project) and currently visiting the ACME Lab (University of Alabama, USA), has published a CNRS Engineering news item on his thesis work,…
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…
