Description

Description du sujet:

The main aim of the proposed thesis is to develop a mechanical behavior law for collagenous fibrous soft tissues. The subject is purely numerical, and requires the candidate to have a keen interest in computer science and numerical simulation.  The subject can be divided into three parts: First, a bibliography to better understand the numerical models of behavior laws in large transformations and the components of collagen and their assembly. Secondly, models taking into account aspects of tissue anisotropy and viscoelasticity will be developed and implemented in finite element codes. Finally, these models will be used to study the degradation of these tissues in relation to pathologies (osteoporosis, arthrosis) or aging.


Compétences requises:

Hard skills: Mechanical engineering; Finite element simulation; Mechanical behavior, Continuum mechanics.

Soft Skills : Curious and autonomous,
