Séminaire PMMH - Xanthippi Markenscoff (University of California San Diego)
Instabilities of nucleation and growth of a phase change defect
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

La Jolla, CA 92093-0411
Abstract
A defect of phase change in density and moduli modeled as a self-similarly expanding Eshelby ellipsoidal inclusion can nucleate and grow under a critical loading. The ellipsoid possesses the “lacuna” property with the particle velocity vanishing in the interior domain, which allows the constant stress Eshelby property and the inclusion to grow as a whole. The energetics for nucleation and growth are derived from the energy-momentum tensor and first principles. The solution obtains the flow of energies across a moving phase boundary at the balancing of which (which expresses the vanishing of the M integral) the interface presents no obstacle, and, at that critical loading, an arbitrarily small phase change defect nucleates and grows at constant potential energy. By breaking the symmetry it expands as a flattened Eshelby ellipsoidal inclusion, which minimizes the losses to move the phase boundary, and the critical pressure is obtained for nucleation and growth of an inhomogeneous inclusion under high pressure. The solution explains the generation of a shear seismic source with Double Couple radiation in deep earthquakes and the generation of failure waves with a zone of micro-fractures (in tension) under compressive loading in lima glass. The methodology has wider applications to a range of physical phenomena, such as amorphization defects and defects in alloys, planetary impacts, etc.

Séminaire PMMH - Máté Nagy (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest)
Vendredi 11 avril de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1
Physics of animal collective behavior : interactions with one another and their environment
The breathtaking aerial displays and mesmerizing formations of birds, fish shoals and the thunderous gallop of hundreds of horses exemplify captivating group behaviors in nature. Traditional measurement methods fall short in capturing these intricate behaviors arising from simple individual interactions, (…) -

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.
