  Experimental analysis of a strong fluid–structure interaction on a soft membrane — Application to the flapping of a yacht downwind sail 

  DEPARDAY, Julien; AUGIER, Benoit; BOT, Patrick (Elsevier BV, 2018-08)

  In the present study we investigate the flapping instability of a light, soft, highly cambered membrane subject to wind loading. An original in-situ experiment is developed where time-resolved pressures and forces are ...

  Unsteady numerical simulations of downwind sails 

  DURAND, Mathieu; HAUVILLE, Frédéric; BOT, Patrick; AUGIER, Benoit; ROUX, Y; LEROYER, Alban; VISONNEAU, Michel (Royal Institution of Naval Architects, 2010-06)

  Modelling the wind, sail and rig interactions on a sailing yacht is a complex subject, because the quality of simulation depends on the accuracy of both structural and fluid simulations which strongly interact. Moreover, ...

  Cryogenic assistance during CFRP drilling 

  DUCROUX, Edouard; MERZOUKI, Johan; ROSSI, Frédéric; POULACHON, Gérard; ABRIVARD, Guillaume (2017-11-04)

  The CFRP cutting mechanisms are highly linked to fibers orientations. Firstly, this paper deals with a mechanical characterization of CFRP under cryogenic temperatures. An instrumented compressive test with fibers oriented ...

  A reduced model to simulate the damage in composite laminates under low velocity impact 

  METOUI, Sondes; PRULIERE, Etienne; AMMAR, Amine; DAU, Frederic (2018-01-21)

  This article presents an efficient numerical strategy to simulate the damage in composite laminates under low velocity impact. The proposed method is based on a separated representation of the solution in the context of ...

  A multiscale separated representation to compute the mechanical behavior of composites with periodic microstructure 

  METOUI, Sondes; PRULIERE, Etienne; AMMAR, Amine; DAU, Frédéric; IORDANOFF, Yvan (ELSEVIER, 2017-07-27)

  The requirements for advanced numerical computations are very high when studying the multiscale behavior of heterogeneous structures such as composites. For the description of local phenomena taking place on the microscopic ...
