Multi-Scale Optimisation of induction hardening processes for complex geometrical parts – OPTIPRO-INDUX
The goal of this project is to implement a process of analysis, control and optimisation of a surface induction heat treatment process followed by a quenching stage. The part which will be used in this project if an automotive crankshaft, which is one of the most critical parts in the future powertr
PROcess influence on the Fatigue of Elastomeric Materials – PROFEM
The use of elastomeric parts is today very widespread in all industrial markets to fulfil very different requirements (static or dynamic tightness, damping of vibrations or shocks, high chemical resistance…). If the design of static or dynamic requirements is today well mastered, the field experienc
Thermoplastic RTM – RTMPLAST
The proposal comes from the growing interest for thermoplastic composite materials including high performance ones in the aeronautic field. It is an anticipation of industry needs for this type of composite in the coming years compared to thermosetting matrix composites. It also has a strong economi
Adhesion for structures made of polymers and metals – ASPOME
The plastic-metal hybrid technology was developed to bridge the gap between the two worlds of metal and plastics. The technology allows the combination of the advantages of metals (stiffness, strength, ductility, low cost) and plastics (function integration, low density). It is now extensively use
Industrial innovative casting processes for the aeronautical industry – PRINCIPIA
The project PRINCIPIA aims at contributing significantly to the definition of innovative new melting and ingot casting processes for the production of thick plates in high performance aluminium alloys (7xxx and 2xxx families, including the new AlCuLi alloys) for the civil aircraft industry - throug
High efficiencY PiezoElectRiC leAd-free Materials (comPosites and textured ceramics) for UltraSound applications – HYPERCAMPUS
Piezoelectric ceramics have been in commercial use for several decades and they have always witnessed a tremendous growth rate. Nowadays, these materials are integrated in a wide range of devices and in particular in ultrasonic applications. Since the discovery in the 50’s of lead-zirconate-titanate
A technological breakthrough for the development of a new, more innocuous PVDC with enhanced properties – ASAP
Polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) is widely used in food and drug packaging, due to his excellent water vapor and oxygen barrier properties. PVDC is sold as either an extrudable resin or as an aqueous dispersion (latex) for coating. These applications, and also legislation related to these products, re
Extraction of Radioelement using Innovative Functionalized Membranes – MEMFIS
The treatment of effluent and wastewater has become a major environmental concern of our society. Whatever the application area, regulations on wastewater discharges are becoming more severe and require efficient reprocessing technologies. This must take into account the recycling or conditioning of
Printed electronics for future secured packaging – PEPS
The battle against counterfeiting has become a major national priority for the French Ministry of Budget, the Colbert Committee as well as on international level with the EU Customs Action Plan set by the EU Council in March 2009. Huge interests are concerned in terms of financial and employment los
Influence of casting defects on fatigue behaviour of aerospace alloys – IDEFFAAR
The objective of IDEFFAAR is to propose an engineering tool to asses the influence of casting defects on the fatigue behaviour of cast Aluminum alloys. The project is focussed on aeronautical applications but the active role of CTIF in the project allows extending the valorisation of results to othe
Cold Flow Forming of Ti-6Al-4V – FLUOTI
The principal objective of project FLUOTI consists in simulating the spin forming process of TA6V at room temperature to produce long tubes by successive work hardening and local large deformation stages. The advantage lies in the high geometrical precision for obtaining thick tubes used in aeronaut
Reactive Friction and Numerical Experimentation : Mechano-chemical Behavior of C/C composites used in high energy brakes – FReIN
The objective of a brake is to convert kinetic energy in thermal energy, and then to diffuse this thermal energy. The increase of temperature induced by a braking is related to the calorific value and to the mass of the material. For airplanes, energies are high and mass is a keypoint, then carbon/c
Flatness control in the rolling of sheet metal – PLATFORM
Delivering metallurgical strips with increasing mechanical properties at the right price is one of the major stakes of the industry of metallurgy. For the transformation step, it induces an increasing difficulty to roll perfectly flat sheets and preventing from the occurrence of major defects due to
Modelizing and manufacturing of metallic foams for multi-functional applications – FOAM
Open-cell metallic foams (aluminium, copper, steel) provide a high potential for multifunctional applications (weight reduction, crash resistance, heat exchange, vibration damping, …) in many industrial sectors (energy, transport, …). Production of these cellular materials by the economic metalcasti
Multiphysical approach of the ageing of martensitic stainless steels under loading and on its consequences onto the fatigue crack growth properties – PREVISIA
This project shall permit to realise innovations in terms of mechanical behaviour prediction of engine pylon parts made out of martensitic stainless precipitate hardening steels. It is dedicated to demonstrate that a multi-scale modelling will permit to optimise the static and damage tolerance des
Nanoparticles of MOFs for the treatment of HIV infections and opportunistic bacterial infections – VIRMIL
Biodegradable Nanoparticles of porous MOFs with suitable pore sizes, non toxic compositions (Fe, Ca, Mg and carboxylates), different topologies (channels, cages), being either rigid or flexible, will be synthesized. We will focus first on MOFs whose synthesis at the nanoscale has already been report
