The presence of a porous layer at the surface of an immersed body modifies the nature of the flow at the solid-porous-fluid interface. This modification may lead to flow regularization and the use of porous coatings is considered as a passive flow control technique. However the understanding of the physical mechanisms responsible for such flow regularization with porous media is still incomplete.

Pour l’obtention du grade de Docteur en sciences de l’ingénieur et technologie Fe-based alloys are of increasing interest for the use as bioresorbable materials. Their mechanical properties are adequate for the use as stents but they present too slow degradation rates.

Pour l’obtention du grade de Docteur en sciences de l’ingénieur et technologie While playing on an acoustic piano, a pianist feels an essential sensory information called the touch. Along with the sound, these two feedbacks give the musician greater control and expressivity with the instrument.

Abstract: Whenever something moves in the human body, our muscles do the work. However, while today it is part of everyday clinical practice to replace joints and bones with artificial parts, reconstruction medicine still has great difficulties finding a suitable replacement for damaged or destroyed muscles.

Pour l’obtention du grade de Docteur en sciences de l’ingénieur et technologie The long-standing desire for a profound understanding of the surrounding physical phenomena has led to numerous scientific breakthroughs, which are mirrored in the development of formalism and the means to predict the behavior of these abstract systems.

Pour l’obtention du grade de Docteur en sciences de l’ingénieur et technologie L’humain exploite des ressources pour répondre à ses besoins énergétiques. Depuis la nuit des temps, du bois a été consommé pour la cuisson et le chauffage. Avec la révolution industrielle, les besoins en énergie ont entamé une forte croissance.

Pour l’obtention du grade de Docteur en sciences de l’ingénieur et technologie Conducted disturbances in the frequency range 2-150 kHz have gained more interest over the last few years due to the evolution of the power grid. The traditional low frequency harmonics are indeed replaced by emissions in this frequency range due to the technological evolution towards self-commutating topologies.

Pour l’obtention du grade de Docteur en sciences de l’ingénieur et technologie In recent years, a controversy has developed as to whether, within a few decades, renewable energies could meet all the world energy needs, without jeopardising economic growth.
