Doctor in Mechanical and Materials Engineering
My primary research interest was concerned in the modeling of damage and fracture processes in composite materials with polyamide matrix and carbon fiber reinforcement. This work has been realized during my final year trainee internship as engineer at the French Institute of Petroleum (IFP) in collaboration with MATEIS Laboratory of INSA-Lyon .
My thesis research consisted in the analysis and modeling of slow crack growth in ceramics based on describing the problem with finite element analysis and which uses a thermally activated cohesive model to describe the reaction-rupture mechanism underlying slow crack growth. This work was conduct...
