Research activity Our research activity is based around: Formatting-choice of materials (powder architecture, dispersion…) Microstructural characterisation (in-situ, immediate…) The material’s perfomance (mainly mechanical, in-situ testing and/or coupled mechanical tests in the tomograph, mechanical loading/sintering using SEM or TEM, mechanical, chemical and/or thermal loading coupled together and acoustic emissions tests. Modelling (analytical and digital: damage, subcritical crack propagation, mechanical behaviour etc.).
