In my essay, I reflected on my personal experience of moving to another city and all the physical, fiscal, and emotional changes that I went through. Through the text, I bounced between my thoughts of my old hometown and questions that one suburb lifestyle brings. In my painting practice, I used references from my visions and memories. In a way, every piece has a kind of resemblance to gambling and child upbringing. Every painting situation creates its own needs, and my work is engaged in staying attentive to this setting and how it changes and changes me. / Fine Art

Le mode de rupture des alliages CFC est généralement de type ductile par des mécanismes de germination, croissance et coalescence de cavités internes micrométriques et peut être modifié par l’irradiation. L’irradiation neutronique de ces alliages conduit à la création de défauts cristallins qui induisent un durcissement, une perte de la capacité d’écrouissage, une chute très importante de la ténacité et un mode de déformation localisé à l’échelle intragranulaire. La compréhension des mécanismes physiques élémentaires de la rupture ductile est indispensable au développement de modèles quantitatifs pour prédire la ténacité des matériaux CFC irradiés. Pour cela, trois différents points ont été étudiés dans cette thèse : (1) L’influence de la localisation de la déformation induite par l’irradiation sur la croissance et la coalescence de cavités : des expériences modèles in-situ MEB de croissance et coalescence de cavités micrométriques dans des matériaux irradiés aux protons ont été réalisées. Les résultats montrent un effet limité de la localisation pour des cavités de la taille des grains et une diminution de l’influence de la localisation avec l’augmentation du niveau de déformation pour des cavités intragranulaires. Par conséquent, les modèles homogénéisés de matériaux poreux développés pour les matériaux non irradiés pourraientt être utilisés en première approximation pour modéliser la rupture ductile des matériaux irradiés. (2) Le comportement sous chargement mécanique de nano-porosités d’irradiation et leur contribution éventuelle à la rupture : l’étude expérimentale et numérique de la déformation de cavités dans un matériau nanoporeux a permis de mettre en évidence la très forte hétérogénéité de la déformation à cette échelle et l’absence d’effet de taille significatif sur la déformation des cavités de diamètre supérieur à 10 nm en traction simple. (3) Le développement de modèles homogénéisés de matériaux poreux valides aux fortes porosités : deux nouveaux critères de coalescence obtenus par analyse limite sont proposés et validés par comparaison à des simulations d’analyses limites numériques, dans le cas de cavités de type fissures et de cavités ellipsoïdales. / The failure mode of FCC alloys is generally ductile through nucleation, growth and coalescence of micrometric voids, and can be modified by irradiation. Neutron irradiation of these alloys leads to the creation of crystalline defects that induce hardening, loss of work hardening capability, a very large drop in fracture toughness and a heterogeneous deformation mode at the grain scale. Understanding the elementary physical mechanisms of ductile fracture is essential for the development of quantitative models to predict fracture toughness of irradiated FCC materials. Thus, in this thesis, three different subjects have been studied. (1) Influence of the localization of deformation induced by irradiation on void growth and coalescence: Model experiments of growth and coalescence of micrometric voids in proton-irradiated materials have been performed based on SEM in-situ tests. Results show a limited effect of localization for grain-size voids and a decreasing influence of localization with increasing level of deformation for intragranular voids, so that homogenized models of porous materials developed for unirradiated materials may be used as a first approximation to model the ductile fracture of irradiated materials. (2) The behavior under mechanical loading of nanovoids generated under irradiation and their possible contribution to fracture: The experimental and numerical study of void deformation in a nanoporous material highlights the very strong heterogeneity of the deformation at this scale and the absence of significant size effect for voids of diameter greater than 10 nm under tensile loading. (3) Development of homogenized models for porous materials valid at high porosities: Two new coalescence criteria obtained by limit analysis are proposed and validated by comparison with numerical limit analysis simulations, in the case of penny-shaped cracks and ellipsoidal voids.

abstract: As the microelectronics industry continues to decrease the size of solder joints, each joint will have to carry a greater current density, making atom diffusion due to current flow, electromigration (EM), a problem of ever-increasing severity. The rate of EM damage depends on current density, operating temperature, and the original microstructure of the solder joint, including void volume, grain orientation, and grain size. While numerous studies have investigated the post-mortem effects of EM and have tested a range of current densities and temperatures, none have been able to analyze how the same joint evolves from its initial to final microstructure. This thesis focuses on the study of EM, thermal aging, and thermal cycling in Sn-rich solder joints. Solder joints were either of controlled microstructure and orientation or had trace alloying element additions. Sn grain orientation has been linked to a solder joints’ susceptibility to EM damage, but the precise relationship between orientation and intermetallic (IMC) and void growth has not been deduced. In this research x-ray microtomography was used to nondestructively scan samples and generate 3D reconstructions of both surface and internal features such as interfaces, IMC particles, and voids within a solder joint. Combined with controlled fabrication techniques to create comparable samples and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis for grain orientation and composition analysis, this work shows how grain structure plays a critical role in EM damage and how it differs from damage accrued from thermal effects that occur simultaneously. Unique IMC growth and voiding behaviors are characterized and explained in relation to the solder microstructures that cause their formation and the possible IMC-suppression effects of trace alloying element addition are discussed. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Materials Science and Engineering 2019

Si l’ineffable est tenu pour le paradoxe emblématique dans la secte zen de la religion bouddhique, il semble que le rétrécissement du langage se manifeste dans la mesure de l’interprétation de buddhadhātu (la bouddheité ; nature de bouddha). Il est donc évident que le zen admet à la fois une lacune de langage et une sorte de mouvement permanent de phénomène entraînant ainsi, selon le terme sanskrit du bouddhisme, un sentiment de śūnyatā (la vacuité). Cette absence de la substance permanente ou ce désir d’échapper à la réalité physique nous permettrait de l’associer naturellement non seulement à l’ineffable vide chez Henri Michaux (1899-1984), mais également à ses créations issues de l’inconscient pour reconstituer un espace sacré dans son dedans. À partir de ce constat, notre recherche tente, en se focalisant sur cette dialectique entre macrocosme et microcosme, d’aborder un esprit oriental qui pourrait remonter à sa source religieuse, et s’approcher plus tard de tous les domaines esthétiques. En effet, les empreintes de la mystique orientale (hindouisme, taoïsme, bouddhisme, etc.) dans l’univers spirituel de Michaux apportent déjà un autre regard vis-à-vis de ses procédés ésotériques et nous dévoileraient même quelque chose à la fois de l’ordre de l’ineffable et de l’invisible. / When the ineffable is widely considered the symbolic paradox in the Zen school of Buddhism, it seems that the narrowness of language has been thus demonstrated in the realm of interpretation of buddhadhātu (buddha-nature). Therefore, the Zen has been characterized by its emphasis on both the rupture of language and a permanent movement of phenomena, which leads probably to a kind of sense of śūnyatā (emptiness). This impermanence of substance or this strong feeling to escape from the physical reality allows us, in this way, to associate it, not only with l’ineffable vide (the ineffable void) of Henri Michaux (1899-1984), but also with his creation driven by the unconsciousness in order to rebuild a sacred space in his dedans (inside).From this perspective, this study aims, by focusing on the dialectic between macrocosm and microcosm, to approach an Oriental spirit which could be traced back to its religious source and gradually permeate through all kinds of aesthetic fields. The stamps of some Oriental mystic thoughts (Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism, etc.) in the spiritual world of Michaux have, moreover, brought another point of view towards his esoteric technique and revealed to us something ineffable as well as invisible.

Fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) offer a stronger and lighter weight alternative to traditional materials used in engineering components such as wind turbine blades and rotorcraft structures. Composites for these applications are often fabricated using liquid molding techniques, such as injection molding or resin transfer molding. One significant issue during these processing methods is void formation due to incomplete wet-out of the resin within the fiber preform, resulting in discontinuous material properties and localized failure zones in the material. A fundamental understanding of the resin evolution during processing is essential to designing processing conditions for void-free filling, which is the first objective of the dissertation. Secondly, FRCs used in rotorcraft experience severe vibrational loads during service, and improved damping characteristics of the composite structure are desirable. To this end, a second goal is to explore the use of matrix-embedded nanoscale reinforcements to augment the inherent damping capabilities in FRCs. The first objective is addressed through a computational modeling and simulation of the infiltrating dual-scale resin flow through the micro-architectures of woven fibrous preforms, accounting for the capillary effects within the fiber bundles. An analytical model is developed for the longitudinal permeability of flow through fibrous bundles and applied to simulations which provide detailed predictions of local air entrapment locations as the resin permeates the preform. Generalized design plots are presented for predicting the void content and processing time in terms of the Capillary and Reynolds Numbers governing the molding process. The second portion of the research investigates the damping enhancement provided to FRC's in static and rotational configurations by different types and weight fractions of matrix-embedded carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in high fiber volume fraction composites. The damping is measured using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and modal analysis techniques, and the results show that the addition of CNTs can increase the material damping by up to 130%. Numerical simulations are conducted to explore the CNT vibration damping effects in rotating composite structures, and demonstrate that the vibration settling times and the maximum displacement amplitudes of the different structures may be reduced by up to 72% and 50%, respectively, with the addition of CNTs. / Ph.

The objective of this work is to develop an evolution equation for the ductile growth of a spherical void in a highly strain rate and temperature dependent material. The material considered in this work is stainless steel 304L at 982 °C. The material is characterized by a physically-based internal state variable model derived within consistent kinematics and thermodynamics — Evolving Microstructure Model for Inelasticity. Through this formulation, the degradation of the elastic moduli due to damage has been naturally acquired. An elastoviscoplasticity user material subroutine has also been developed and implemented into a commercially available finite element software ABAQUS. The subroutine utilizes a return mapping algorithm, where a purely elastic trial state (elastic predictor) is followed by a plastic corrector phase (return mapping). A conditionally stable fully-implicit scheme, derived from the backward Euler integration method, has been employed to calculate the values of the internal state variables in the elastoviscoplasticity integration routine. A repeating unit cell problem is set up by introducing a spherical void inside a matrix material that simulates a periodic array of voids in a component. Using finite element analysis, a database is generated by recording the responses of the unit cell under various combinations of loading conditions, porosity, and state variables. Functional forms of the void growth equations are constructed by utilizing normalization techniques to collapse all the data into master curves. The evolution equations are converted to a form consistent with the continuum damage variable in the complete thermal-elastic-plastic-damage version of the physically-based internal state variable model.
