Séminaire PMMH Michaël Berhanu (MSC)
Nonlinear interactions and turbulence of capillary surface waves
The dynamics of the waves propagating on a water surface is often
influenced by nonlinear effects. The complex and disordered patterns of
gravity waves seen on a choppy sea are indeed interpreted as a
statistical dynamic equilibrium of waves in interaction. Using among
some others the hypothesis of weak non linearity (small deformation of
the free-surface), the wave turbulence theory describes analytically
these states. When the surface tension is the main restoring mechanism,
the surface waves are called capillary waves and their wavelengths are
of scale of the centimeter or smaller. Nonlinear interactions and
turbulence of capillary waves are reported, but a major difference with
the large scale gravity waves consists in the significant viscous
dissipation in the propagation of capillary waves. In this seminar,
based on the analysis of several experimental works, we show that the
dissipation has important consequences on the nonlinear dynamics of
capillary waves. First, by increasing the width of the dispersion
relation, the contribution of non-resonant interactions is enhanced.
Then, large enough wave amplitudes are required for the nonlinear
effects to overcome the dissipation. Consequently, the turbulent states
of capillary waves correspond to strongly nonlinear regimes, beyond the
wave turbulence theory.

Vendredi 16 mai de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
Metainterfaces : how to design a rough contact that obeys a specific friction law ?
Many devices, including touchscreens and robotic hands, involve frictional contacts. Optimizing those devices requires fine control of the interface's friction law. We lack systematic methods to create dry contact interfaces whose frictional behaviour satisfies preset specifications. In this seminar, I will present (…) -

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 (…) -

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 (…) -

The audience is composed of people with rather heterogeneous backgrounds including specialists in solids, fluids, granular flows, statistical physics... so the idea is to keep your talk understandable by people not necessarily working in your field... The seminar time slot runs from 11am to noon so the best is to make the talk last around 45 minutes to leave some time for discussion.
