Séminaire PMMH - Julian Talbot (LPTMC, Sorbonne Univ.)
Statistics and Optimisation of Random Pan Stacking
The stacking of objects is a familiar operation. For example, a common conundrum of daily life is how to arrange a collection of pots and pans so that the stack will fit in a kitchen cupboard. Because of the varying form and convex nature of the pans, the height will vary depending on the order in which they are stacked. Other examples in the macroscopic realm, which typically involve identical objects, include the stacking of bowls, cups and chairs. At the microscopic level, stacking is associated with self-assembly. Columnar formation has been observed in bowlics, a kind of liquid crystal, and colloidal nanodisks. Under some conditions red blood cells may stack to form rouleaux. Stacking also features in processes involving granular materials.
In this talk, I will present a minimal model for the one-dimensional, random stacking of distinct objects with varying degrees of inter-penetrability. For a given set of pans we examine how the height of the stack depends on the order of the pans and we will determine the configurations with the minimum and maximum height. While it is easy to identify the former, the configuration that maximizes the height is not trivial. We examine the nature of the degeneracy when a given height may correspond to several different orderings of the pans. We also seek the distributions of pan angles that optimize the mean stack height.

REPROGRAMMABLE HARDWARE FOR DATA PROCESSING AT THE EDGE : A NEW COMPUTING PARADIGM BASED ON NEUROMORPHIC SYSTEMS
The brain's ability to perform efficient and fault-tolerant data processing is strongly related with its peculiar interconnected adaptive architecture, based on redundant neural circuits interacting at different scales. By emulating the brain's processing and learning mechanisms, computing technologies strive to (…) -

Vendredi 4 juillet de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
Continuum Mechanics of Hydrated Fibre-Reinforced Soft Tissues
Biological tissues can be represented as bi-phasic continua, with a porous solid phase saturated by an interstitial fluid and reinforced by collagen fibers. This lecture will give an overview of the modelling techniques for fibre-reinforced porous composite materials with statistical orientation of the fibers. Both (…) -

Instructions générales pour les conférenciers
Le public du séminaire est très hétérogène (rien qu’au PMMH nous travaillons sur des thématiques très diverses, mécanique des fluides, des milieux granulaires, des solides, physique statistique, physique du mouillage, micro-fluidique, biophysique,...) l’objectif est donc de ne pas faire un séminaire trop spécialiste : au moins la première moitié du séminaire à un niveau accessible pour celui qui ne connaît rien sur le sujet.
Le séminaire a lieu à 11h. rendez-vous 15 minutes avant pour installer et tester la projection.
Le séminaire dure environ 45 minutes pour laisser un peu de temps pour discuter à la fin.
