Research activities

In the SIMAP laboratory (http://simap.grenoble-inp.fr ), I am part of the GPM2 group and I am involved in the three research themes of the group: "Plasticity, damage, rupture", "Architectural materials" and "Design, processing, imaging of materials". The research themes cover both the elaboration of materials, their shaping and the optimisation of their properties, whether on monolithic, composite or architecturally structured materials. In order to answer the scientific questions related to these activities, it has been necessary to develop in situ characterisation methods using X-ray tomography at different scales at the synchrotron and in the laboratory, as well as numerical modelling tools. The developments were carried out in particular through collaborations with the ESRF on fast in situ tomography at micro and, more recently, at the nano scales. This work is highly recognised worldwide: they have been the subject of numerous invited conferences in recent years and of high-impact publications. The use of these developments makes it possible to answer unsolved scientific questions, both fundamental and industrial. The different themes developed in recent years and described below are

• Damage and closure of porosities during hot deformation: 2 PhD in progress: monitoring by in situ X-ray nanotomography PhD R. Kumar (ESRF/CEMAM funding), creep in steels for 4th generation nuclear reactors (PhD O. Ozdémir with EDF in progress).  Closure of porosities during rolling (P. Gravier, Anthony Harrup Guttierez PhD in collaboration with Constellium in progress)
• Architectural materials: understanding the mechanisms during development and mechanical behaviour: numerical simulation of thermal exchange (PhD C. Thoumyre) and discrete (PhD R. Gibaud). In situ additive manufacturing (Collaboration P. Lhuissier, G. Martin).
• Understanding of solidification and deformation mechanisms in composites: solidification mechanisms are studied using in situ X-ray tomography and have focused in recent years on the impact of nanoparticles on microstructures (several ANR project TOMOSOLIDAL and SIMUZAL, a European EXOMET project,  with PhD B. Mireux, post-doctorate S Terzi, R. Daudin) but also on hot properties (PhD M. Garrido). The hot behaviour of composites reinforced with amorphous micrometric particles was studied in the framework of the ANR EDDAM (2013-2016, Post doc R. Brauman).
• X-ray attack of integrated circuits: this is a new activity that we have initiated in collaboration with CEA LETI (CESTI) in the framework of an ANR MITIX (2020-2024, post doc S. Bouat).
• Development of laboratory tomography in the framework of several ongoing multidisciplinary projects (IRS 2017-2022, ANR 2018-2023, PhD H. Murtaza, Post doc R. Granger).
• Development of in situ characterisation by ultrafast X-ray tomography at the micro scale at the ESRF synchrotron: two long term project of 3 years (LTP MA560 2008 – 2011 on “ultra fast in situ microtomography at high temperature and under mechanical testing or thermal treatment : application to solidification, sintering and damage in metals “ and LTP MA1876 2013 -2016, “Use of coherency and large field of view for fast in situ multi-resolution imaging” ) collaboration” with E. Boller (ID19)
• Development of in situ characterisation by ultrafast X-ray tomography at the nano scale at the ESRF synchrotron: collaboration with J. Villanova since 2017 on ID16B (ESRF)
• Development of the coupling of artificial intelligence and 3D imaging in the framework of a Long Term Project with ESRF (LTP MA4928 on ”Correlative Imaging for Additive Manufacturing of Metallic Materials” which has just started in 2022) and also by the submission of a CDP project (Cross Disciplinary Project of the IDEX) on new generation 3D imaging, which brings together 2 labex, 4 research poles, 10 laboratories and 75 researchers (undergoing appraisal)
