Modeling and analysis of miniaturized magnetorheological valve for fluidic actuation
Fluidic actuation enables movement in a wide range of mechanical systems, from simple laboratory devices to more complex industrial machinery. Fluids are used to generate motion of mechanical pieces. The term "fluids" encompasses two types of technologies: ...
EPFL2023Modeling the mechanics and rheology of porous and granular media: an elastoplastic continuum approach
The complex mechanics of porous and granular media play a significant role in various industrial processes and natural phenomena. As an example, understanding the mechanics of how failure occurs, localizes and propagates in porous brittle solids under vari ...
EPFL2023Measurement device or biochip including an optical microcavity
Nicolas Maxime André Descharmes, Raphaël Barbey
The present invention concerns a measurement device including at least one fluidic channel for providing at least one specimen in at least one liquid to at least an optical measurement region of the measurement device; and at least one optical structure co ...
2022Piezoelectric suspended microchannel resonators
The objective of this PhD thesis is the development of a microfluidic platform for the real-time measurements of the mechanical properties of biological analytes at the single entity level.The systems developed for these purposes consist of piezoelectrical ...
EPFL2022Dynamic response of a compressible binary fluid mixture
Binary fluids are present in a wide variety of systems at microscales, such as microfluidic devices containing drops, fluids with air bubbles trapped in them, and devices designed to mix fluids or to make two fluid substances react. Microfluidics devices a ...
2020The odd free surface flows of a colloidal chiral fluid
In simple fluids, such as water, invariance under parity and time-reversal symmetry imposes that the rotation of constituent 'atoms' is determined by the flow and that viscous stresses damp motion. Activation of the rotational degrees of freedom of a fluid ...
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2019Hydromechanical Aspects of CO2 Breakthrough into Clay-rich Caprock
Lyesse Laloui, Victor Vilarrasa Riano, Roman Makhnenko, Danila Mylnikov
Caprock formations are intended to prevent upwards carbon dioxide (CO2) migration to the surface during CO2 geological storage. Caprock interaction with CO2, as well as its potential consequences, requires to be predicted, and thus, need to be studied expe ...
