Séminaire PMMH - François Petrelis (ENS)
Earthquake statistical properties : an explanation for the distribution of magnitude and for the existence of aftershocks
Earthquakes in nature follow several statistical properties. In particular, the distribution of energy released by an earthquake (Gutenberg-Richter's law) and the frequency of aftershocks after a large event (Omori's law) are both power-laws.
By studying several earthquake models, we have shown that the Gutenberg-Richter law results from the spatial distribution of the stress field. This field is self-similar at large scale and for two dimensionnal systems can be modelled as a random surface. Using this analogy, a series of predictions is made that includes the Gutenberg-Richter law and the value of its exponent (so called b-value) together with the existence of aftershocks and their temporal distribution following Omori's law.

Séminaire PMMH - Francesca Borghi Università degli Studi di Milano
Vendredi 20 juin de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
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 (…) -

Séminaire PMMH - Salvatore Federico (University of Calgary, Canada)
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 (…) -

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.
