Pendant drops on the underside of wet surfaces : growth, motion and solidification
Pendant drops spontaneously appear on the underside of wet surfaces through the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Due to their detrimental effect on coatings and their tendency to drip, several strategies have been developed to avoid their formation and rationalized with linear stability analysis. I will first briefly show how the Rayleigh-Taylor instability can be harnessed to make patterned elastic surfaces with a tunable spacing [1] and aspect ratio [2]. However, having a fine control over the drops in the non-linear regime of the instability is hard. They are connected to a thin film with which they continuously exchange liquid. They thus have no contact line and move around easily which disrupt the pattern. I investigate these drops dynamic experimentally, numerically and theoretically with a model system that consider a single pendant drop surrounded by a uniform thin film. I will show that under smooth surfaces, a transition from growth to decay occurs as the substrate inclination angle is increased by a few degrees [3]. I will then consider uneven surfaces, and show that the underlying topography can control the drop motion via gravito-capillary pinning-like forces [4].

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 (…) -

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.
