Séminaire PMMH - Denis Dumont (IUSTI Marseille)

Vendredi 29 novembre de 11h00 à 12h00 - Salle réunion PMMH 1

Rheology of sticky grains

In many powder technology processes, coating is applied to fine particles to control their properties or functionalize them. We investigated the role of a polymer coating made of PBS on silica beads. This material has been originally designed as a model cohesive granular material, whose cohesion can be finely controlled by the thickness of the coating (A. Gans et al 2020). However, we show that the coating not only introduces adhesion but also modifies the friction between the grains. Due to the viscoelastic properties the coating, the inter-particle friction coefficient depends on the load and the velocity. By means of numerical DEM simulations, we demonstrate that this transition in the inter-particle friction coefficient can induces complex behavior for the bulk rheology such as shear-thickening and shear-banding.

    1D confinement controls cell shape and migration
    Pericytes are mural cells of the microvasculature, they wrap around small vessels, support the vessels mechanically and participate in blood flow regulation. Pericytes are distinguished by two main characteristics ; first their distinct morphology, which has been likened to a “bump on a log”, as they present long (...)

    Nonlinear Anisotropic Viscoelasticity
    In this work, we revisit the mathematical foundations of nonlinear viscoelasticity. We study the un- derlying geometry of viscoelastic deformations, and in particular, the intermediate configuration. Starting from the direct multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient F = FeFv, into elastic and (...)
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.
