The Opalinus Clay is a potential host rock for radioactive waste repositories. Triaxial tests at different load levels and directions carried out on Opalinus clay showed that the mechanical behaviour of this soft rock is anisotropic. The stiffer samples ar ...
Deep geological repository involving a multi-barrier system constitutes one of the most promising options to isolate high-level radioactive waste from the human environment. In order to certify the efficiency of waste isolation, it is essential to understa ...

The aim of the TIMODAZ project is to investigate the effect of thermal changes on the excavation damaged zone (EDZ) around nuclear deep disposals in clay-based geological formations. In the framework of WP5.2 of this project, it is intended to develop cons ...
In recent years, the complexity of geomechanical problems has greatly increased as a result of the demand for new and intricate types of applications. Experimental characterization and numerical prediction by means of multiphysical approaches are in that c ...
Deep geological repository involving a multi-barrier system constitutes one of the most promising options to isolate high-level radioactive waste from the human environment. The efficiency of Engineered-Barrier Systems (EBS) is highly based on the complex ...
Soil is a particulate material that may undergo irreversible strain as the relative positions of the constituent particles change. That irreversible behaviour may be induced not only by an external stress variation but also by temperature or suction change ...
In this dissertation, I argue that employee mobility is a key consideration of the firm. Firms often rely on human assets to generate and maintain knowledge. When key individuals depart the firm, they take knowledge with them, potentially undermining the f ...
Motivated by the ongoing investigation of SrCu2(BO3)(2) under pressure, we study a variant of the two-dimensional Shastry-Sutherland (SS) spin-1/2 model with two types of dimers. Combined with the frustration of the SS model, this modification induces, in ...
Following the need for understanding and quantifying the effect of temperature on the response of a candidate host formation for radioactive waste disposal, finite element modelling of an in-situ thermal experiment has been carried out. Based on a thermo-h ...
In high-speed dry milling of thin-walled parts, the cutter-workpiece temperature rises asymptotically with cutting speed, causing excessive cutter tooth wear and workpiece thermal expansion, which in turn reduces the cutter life and produces dimensional an ...
