We are working on the mechanical behavior of foams submitted to severe compression. The internship is about runing Abaqus simulations and analyzing the microstructure pre and post loading to better understand the link between the microstructure and the macroscopic behavior.If interested please contact me at julie . diani [ ] polytechnique.edu

Impact of the microstructure on the mechanical behavior of PEBAX foams
Five PEBAX foams provided by Arkema and obtained by mold-opening foam injection process has been studied. One one side, the microstructures have been characterized by DSC for the chemical and physical properties, and by scanning electron microscope image analysis for the structural properties. On the other side, the linear elasticity as well as the non-linear […]
