mardi 2 décembre à 10 h 00 – 11 h 00
Nous accueillerons Cino Viggiani, Professeur laboratoire 3SR – Université Grenoble Alpes, le 2 décembre 2025 à 10h00 à Centrale Nantes (salle à confirmer) pour un séminaire sur les nouvelles approches expérimentales des géomatériaux avec un focus sur les techniques d’imagerie.
Ce séminaire est ouvert à toutes et tous.
Résumé :
Recent developments in laboratory testing of geomaterials with emphasis on imaging processes
This talk will present a review of some recent technical developments and scientific accomplishments in laboratory experimental testing of geomaterials – with a special focus on imaging. In particular, I’ll provide a few examples of studies using full-field techniques such as x-ray and neutron tomography. These two techniques have had a strong impact over the last two decades, and have allowed the understanding of the micro scale processes ultimately driving the behavior of geomaterials at the macroscopic scale. I will try to outline the broader impact that this panoply of techniques has had and is expected to have in geomechanics and geotechnics at large.
