Independent friction-restitution modeling of two-disk collisions
2021
[EN] The oblique collisions between two axisymmetric disks moving on a flat horizontal surface are described in terms of impact modeling based on the assumption that normal and tangential restitution mechanisms operate independently of friction. Describing these mechanisms in terms of the usual Coulomb formulation, the model allows for an interpretation of some ¿anomalous¿ experimental data reported in the literature. These experimental data, corresponding to the variation of the coefficients of friction and tangential restitution with the impact angle, remained unexplained in classic formulations, are understood within the framework of the independent friction-restitution closure.

D2hTDS-ST Software for Stark Spectrum Simulation of X2Y4 Asymmetric-Top Molecules
2011
Abstract We present the D 2 h TDS-ST ( D 2 h -Top Data System for Stark effect) program suite with the aim to simulate Stark spectra of any IR active rovibrational polyad of X 2 Y 4 ( D 2 h ) asymmetric-top molecules. D 2 h TDS-ST consists in a series of FORTRAN programs called by scripts. For calculation of Stark spectra, we obtained the expressions of the dipole moment and polarizability operators of X 2 Y 4 molecules using a tensorial formalism. For convenience, we integrated the D 2 h TDS-ST programs into the D 2 h TDS package. The D 2 h TDS suite (including the D 2 h TDS-ST programs) is freely available at the URL: http://icb.u-bourgogne.fr/OMR/SMA/SHTDS/D2HTDS.html .
Friction stir consolidation of aluminum machining chips
2017
Friction stir consolidation (FSC) is a solid-phase manufacturing process that consolidates metal powder, chips, or scraps into solid blocks via severe plastic deformation and solid state welding. It has the potential to be a more economical and âgreenâ process to recycle metal waste. In this study, solid discs were made from AA6061 aluminum alloy machining chips by FSC. The progression of the process was revealed by analyzing the motion of the tool, consolidating force, power history, and macro/microstructure of discs produced from a series of partial consolidation experiments. A bowl-shaped recrystallized zone in the vertical cross-sections of the disc products was observed and conside…
Stimulated Raman-Spectroscopy of the Q-Branch of Nitrogen at High Pressure - Collisional Narrowing and Shifting in the 150-6800 Bar Range at Room Tem…
1992
0026-8976; The Raman Q branch of N2 has been recorded at room temperature in the pressure range 150-6800 bar, which corresponds to densities from 135 to 800 amagat. In this domain, the Raman Q branch profile is mainly determined by the well-known collisional narrowing. The experimental data have been obtained by means of a high resolution stimulated Raman spectrometer. The linewidth and line shift of the band have been accurately measured as functions of the density, and their density dependences have been fitted by polynomials. The minimum of the linewidth and the maximum of the red shift have been clearly observed at respectively 735.8 and 532.3 amagat. The lineshape was found to be Loren…
Study of a new direct current atmospheric pressure glow discharge in helium
2011
Abstract In this study a new DC-APGD operated in He was developed and characterized. The discharge is operated at 0.9 kV and about 25–35 mA and at a gas flow of 100 ml/min. The source was spectroscopically studied and parameters such as the rotational temperature (Trot), the excitation temperature (Texc), the ionization temperature (Tion) and the electron number density (ne) were determined. The current–voltage characteristic of the source was studied as well. At optimized conditions the discharge operates in the normal region of the current–voltage characteristic. Rotational and excitation temperatures determined with the use of OH band and Fe I lines as thermometric species were of the or…
33S hyperfine interactions in H2S and SO2 and revision of the sulfur nuclear magnetic shielding scale
2014
Using the Lamb-dip technique, the hyperfine structure in the rotational spectra of H2(33)S and (33)SO2 has been resolved and the corresponding parameters--that is, the sulfur quadrupole-coupling and spin-rotation tensors--were determined. The experimental parameters are in good agreement with results from high-level coupled-cluster calculations, provided that up to quadruple excitations are considered in the cluster operator, sufficiently large basis sets are used, and vibrational corrections are accounted for. The (33)S spin-rotation tensor for H2S has been used to establish a new sulfur nuclear magnetic shielding scale, combining the paramagnetic part of the shielding as obtained from the…
Alignement moléculaire : caractérisation et application à la mesure de thermalisation ultra-rapide et au contrôle de génération d'harmoniques
2013
The thematic of this thesis is molecular alignment. The latter is a very important topic that opens the way toward a much more thin control of many phenomenons. So, we have developed a new measurement technique of the molecular alignment along one axis that permits to preserve the sign of alignment. This one is, like other measurement techniques developed by the team,based on the measurement of the refractive index variation induced by the molecular alignment.The technique developed then also permits the molecular alignment measurement, being also an application of it because it allows the third harmonic generation. In the last study, molecular alignment is implemented to show that it bring…
Magnetic braking and damping of differential rotation in massive stars
2018
Fragmentation of highly differentially rotating massive stars that undergo collapse has been suggested as a possible channel for binary black hole formation. Such a scenario could explain the formation of the new population of massive black holes detected by the LIGO/VIRGO gravitational wave laser interferometers. We probe that scenario by performing general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of differentially rotating massive stars supported by thermal radiation pressure plus a gas pressure perturbation. The stars are initially threaded by a dynamically weak, poloidal magnetic field confined to the stellar interior. We find that magnetic braking and turbulent viscous damping via …
Numerically solving the relativistic Grad–Shafranov equation in Kerr spacetimes: numerical techniques
2018
The study of the electrodynamics of static, axisymmetric and force-free Kerr magnetospheres relies vastly on solutions of the so called relativistic Grad-Shafranov equation (GSE). Different numerical approaches to the solution of the GSE have been introduced in the literature, but none of them has been fully assessed from the numerical point of view in terms of efficiency and quality of the solutions found. We present a generalization of these algorithms and give detailed background on the algorithmic implementation. We assess the numerical stability of the implemented algorithms and quantify the convergence of the presented methodology for the most established setups (split-monopole, parab…
Termination of the magnetorotational instability via parasitic instabilities in core-collapse supernovae
2016
The magnetorotational instability (MRI) can be a powerful mechanism amplifying the magnetic field in core-collapse supernovae. Whether initially weak magnetic fields can be amplified by this instability to dynamically relevant strengths is still a matter of debate. One of the main uncertainties concerns the process that terminates the growth of the instability. Parasitic instabilities of both Kelvin-Helmholtz and tearing-mode type have been suggested to play a crucial role in this process, disrupting MRI channel flows and quenching magnetic field amplification. We perform two-dimensional and three-dimensional sheering-disc simulations of a differentially rotating protoneutron star layer in …
