APPLIED MECHANICS : Master Internship best configuration for fruit and vegetable elastography
Context :
The proposed internship is part of a collaborative research project, supported by Collegium SMYLE, in which are associated Femto-ST (https://www.femto-st.fr/fr @ UBFC), and Soft Transducer Lab
(https://www.epfl.ch/labs/lmts/ @ EPFL).
The main objectives of this master internship are to first establish some numerical simulations to assess the best configuration for fruit and vegetable elastography.
Mécanique Appliquée : Study and modeling of the intermetallic powder bed behavior for hydrogen storage
Job Description :
The DMA has been involved in the topicof hydrogen storagefor 20 years, in the field of mechanics and materials sciences, activities now integrated in the Mat’éco team, Materials for the ecological transition.The main themes envisaged concern storage solutions under compressed form (filament winding, composite materials) and in so-called "solid" form(by formation of metal hydrides).
Candidate Profile:
Applied Mechanics : Optimization, fabrication and characterization of wood/natural fiber composite hybrid laminates
Framework of the project : The PhDis part of the transverse project WooFHi (Wood/natural Fiber High homogeneity/performance composite) carried by three laboratories of BourgogneFranche-Comté (LaBoMap -Cluny, FEMTO-ST -Besançon, DRIVE -Nevers). This project aims at optimizing and homogenizing heterogeneous and variable wood-based materials by layering and hybridization with natural fiber composites. The targeted structural applications concern the transport field.
Applied Mechanics : "Understanding the mechanisms behind the tactile perception of micro-textured surfaces"
Context : Most of our daily interactions with the environment are based on tactile exploration. Tactile perception relies on the stimulation of mechanoreceptors in the skin and on the processing of the response induced by the brain. So far, only few studies have been devoted to uncover the overall "perception chain", i.e. from mechanical stimuli, via signal conversion and transmission, to higher order neural processes related to the interaction of the human body with the touched surface.
