Wafer bonding technology has become a crucial process in 3D IC integration, particularly as a key method for monolithic integration where Through-Silicon Via (TSV) technology is not used [1]. However, due to the intricate mechanical stress and interconnect reliability issues associated ... Read More
Started in March 2020, the SOFITT project (Saturated Open-Cell Foams for Innovative Tribology in Turbomachinery), funded by the ANR (French National Research Agency), aims to develop reliable, high-performance, and environmentally friendly solutions for the guidance and support systems ...

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAAs) are balloonings of the descending aorta. Surgical intervention only occurs when the aneurysm growth exceeds a certain threshold, which is slightly different between men and women. Early-stage patients are often asymptomatic, and there is no prediction ... Read More
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. In the United States, coronary artery disease accounts for 1 in 7 cardiovascular deaths. Cells in the blood and blood vessels are known to respond to alterations of the mechanical forces of their environment, such as blood ... Read More
This study models the energy harvesting reached from an air flow transportation through the flapping of a cantilever polymer flag. The mechanical resonance of the flag is created by a Venturi channel. The flag is charged by triboelectrification and its flapping between two electrodes ... Read More
In regular biosensors, the detected bacteria have to be in drawn towards the sensing area. To increase the sensitivity of the biosensors, bacteria should be drawn towards the sensing area, which can be achieved by dielectrophoresis (DEP). DEP is a mechanism which is used to move ... Read More
The mechanical characterization of certain cell types is important to obtain physiological insights. For instance, tumor and normal cells can be distinguished by elasticity, indicated by the amount of deformation under given stress. Simulations help to understand, verify and improve the ...

Peristaltic pumps are used during pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, for filling, filtration and mixing operations. Goal of this work was to develop a computational model of a peristaltic pump used for filling operations, to predict shear stresses and mass flow rates. For this ... Read More
Motivation We simulate the fluid driven interaction between two dynamically coupled valves designed to work in conjunction with each other. Such interacting valves are extensively used in sucker rod pumps for oil extraction. These pumps essentially consist of a pair of ball check valves ... Read More
Biodegradable scaffolds are often inserted in the body, to provide mechanical support to recovering broken or damaged tissues. Monitoring the degradation chemistry and mechanical response of these scaffolds is important: their degradation rate should match tissue regeneration rate, while ... Read More
