Séminaire PMMH - Olivier Plé (LOCIE-CNRS)

Vendredi 5 avril 2024 de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1

Rammed earth : A complex medium

Rammed earth is a complex material which is attractive nowadays in construction because of its small environmental footprint. However, this material has specific characteristics, especially : its sensitivity to water, its low mechanical static capacity but a fairly good seismic performance, its high thermal conductivity which cannot guarantee sufficient winter comfort, its high heterogeneity which makes it a size effect material….. In short, a complex, unsaturated heterogeneous material with numerous couplings.
In this presentation I will try to show the complexity of the material and how physics helps us to understand for a better use in construction.

    Vendredi 11 juillet de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
    Underscreening Stable colloidal systems at very high electrolyte concentrations
    In colloidal systems the range and strength of electrostatic interactions has a profound effect on a range of properties including the stability of colloidal dispersions and the phase behaviour of surfactant and polymer systems. The Debye length has proven to be a very effective measure of the range of (…)

Information for the speakers

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.
