Curriculum Vitae

Teaching

1. Contact Mechanics and Elements of Tribology (CMET)

This is a week-long master level course that I created from scratch has an ambition to cover main aspects of the contact mechanics and also introduce students to notions of tribology (lubrication, wear and fretting). Micromechanical contact, roughness, continuum mechanics of contact and friction, Reynolds equation for lubrication, computational contact mechanics, friction laws and also a link between contact, friction and material behavior are all covered. In addition, a large panorama of applications is provided. The course contains also some practical work dealing with integration of Flamant’s solution for specific distributed loads to obtain stress state in the bulk, coding a simple penalty algorithm (residual vector and tangent matrix) in a basic finite element code and solving simple contact problems with Z-set software. The final day of the course is dedicated to seminars (cutting-edge research in tribology and contact mechanics) and to the 2h written exam. Within this course Henry Proudhon gives lectures on Wear and Fretting. All lectures, scripts for practical work and notes, are shared under CC BY 4.0 license on my web-page.

2. Multi-scale and multi-physics of materials and structures

In this collaborative course of Samuel Forest, Benoit Appolaire, Vladimir Esin, Kais Ammar and Victor de Rancourt, I give lectures on Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Dynamics of Dislocations and I also organize a 3h practical session on MD using LAMMPS, last years we study toughness of “porous crystal” playing with parameters of Lennard-Jones potential. All lectures, scripts for practical work and notes, are shared under CC BY 4.0 license on my web-page.

3. Non-Linear Computational Mechanics (NLCM)

This course initially created by Georges Cailletaud and Jean-Louis Chaboche for ATHENS (European students exchange week) introduces different aspects of nonlinear computational mechanics: from basics of nonlinear finite element method and material integrations up to large deformations, remeshing, localization and regularization. I give lectures on computational contact mechanics.

4. Continuum Mechanics (Mécanique des Milieux Continus)

This is a fundamental course on continuum mechanics of solids and fluids in which under the supervision of Samuel Forest, the lecturer of the course, a team of tutors ensures the link between the theory and practice solving with students a selection of problems from simple pressurized tank and tension/bending up to torsion, theorem of strain compatibility, stress concentrators, etc.

Software/code development

Z-set

With students and collaborators we implemented some new features in our in-house finite element software Z-set:

Roughness generator + spectral BEM

In collaboration with Guillaume Anciaux we created simultaneously two codes for roughness generation and spectral BEM, which enabled us to fix bugs in both and have a converged results. Both codes for roughness generation and the spectral BEM are C++ ensuring the best performance.

MD code

During my PhD thesis I created a simple Molecular Dynamics C++ code, which I further improved by adding different potentials. This code I successfully used for teaching Molecular Dynamics, the students were invited (1) to code some simple algorithms for gas atom placing to avoid too high forces which would require excessively small time steps and (2) to study solidification of argon under soft temperature control. Tracing internal energy as a function of temperature allowed to determine heat capacity and its change under phase transition. Difference between ideal gas model (non-interacting particles) and interacting gas were highlighted.

DDD code

Over few years of teaching DDD I crafted a simple explicit 2D Python code for simulation of interacting dislocations in a finite size box, mainly used to demonstrate dipole interactions and work-hardening of dislocation pile-ups.

WC/binder microstructure and CAD generator

This is an add-on written as a separate C++ class for voro++ which allows (1) to generate gmsh CAD model for further meshing in gmsh, with some extra possibilities to simply embed the CAD in a host structure, (2) generate realistic WC/binder microstructures. Regardless the seeming simplicity of the algorithm its implementation took me really a lot of time.

Wave dynamics in asymmetric Materials

C++ code for simulation of wave propagation in one-dimensional bars of asymmetric materials which uses absorbing boundary conditions and smart measurement of input and output energies. The code is clean and made publicly available under BSD-3-Clause at Zenodo DOI.

Semi-Analytical Floating Iceberg Models (SAFIM)

Python script for 2D simulation of capsizing/floating rectangular objects (for example, icebergs) which takes into account hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures as well as added mass matrix. The code is made publicly available under CC BY 4.0 license at Zenodo DOI

The First Overlay Journal in Mechanics

Started with Vincent Acary, Mathias Legrand and later with Maurine Montagnat & François Gibier we created the very first overlay journal in Mechanics Journal of Theoretical, Computational and Applied Mechanics (JTCAM). Now, all of us serve Technical Editors at JTCAM and we deal with all organizational and technical questions, we also ensure copy-editing work. For today (July 2, 2021) the journal published 4 articles, and has 12 more in review process.

Description

The Journal of Theoretical, Computational and Applied Mechanics (JTCAM) is a scholarly overlay journal covering all main branches of the solid mechanics, mechanical engineering and numerical methods in mechanics.

Papers can be submitted either via arXiv or HAL (open archive). The review process is managed by the board of at least eight Associate Editors. The journal promotes the Diamond Open Access (free for authors and readers) and Open science principles: sharing of data, code source and open peer review. The articles are published under Creative Commons BY licence. In journal’s open peer review model: the reviewers are invited to reveal their identity and their reports as well as the authors’ rebuttal letter are made publicly accessible as a separate document. The journal operates without Editor in chief, and is governed by the Board of the Journal composed of the Editorial Board (Associate Editors), the Scientific Advisory Board, and the Technical Board (Technical Editors).[1]. The copy-editing is ensured internally by the Technical Board in a close collaboration with the authors.
