Biography

Vincent Maurel is a researcher specializing in the study of metallic materials and coatings for high-temperature applications, particularly in the fields of aerospace and energy. His work focuses on analyzing the mechanisms of material degradation under thermomechanical stresses, with particular expertise in nondestructive testing (NDT) and multiscale modeling. His research covers topics such as strain-induced martensitic transformation, interfacial damage in thermal barriers, and the microstructural evolution of superalloys and metallic coatings under thermal cycling. He combines advanced experimental approaches (X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, digital image correlation) with numerical simulations to elucidate the relationships between microstructure, mechanical behavior, and durability. His contributions also include the development of innovative methods for in situ monitoring of fatigue, creep, and high-temperature corrosion mechanisms.

Teaching

General Engineering Professions (MIG)

Lecturer

A MIG is a personalized, project-based learning program that brings together a group of 12 or 14 students, guided by the School’s faculty members, to explore a complex problem in its various dimensions—including, of course, scientific and technical aspects, but also cross-disciplinary aspects (socioeconomics, management, law, the environment, etc., depending on the field being studied). Ten different topics are offered. They all reflect current research themes being developed by the School’s centers and industry. The challenges students will tackle through these 10 projects address major issues facing the industry of the future and society: From Energy Resource Transformation to Management, Data Science and Innovative Applications, Raw Material Extraction and Environmental Impact, Design and Materials for Aeronautics and the Automotive Industry, and Medical and Hospital Care Engineering Each MIG topic is addressed through complementary and interlinked activities during an intensive three-week period: - company visits, lectures, and classes - a period of experimentation and/or modeling at a research center or in a company, in the form of mini-projects carried out in small groups. In addition, each group of students collectively summarizes the work completed in the form of a written report and an oral presentation before a panel of industry professionals. This presentation will allow you to better understand all aspects of the topic and to deepen your teamwork skills.

Mechanics of Continuous Media

Lecturer

In-person instruction is structured around plenary sessions in the lecture hall and tutorial sessions in smaller classes (PC) with fewer students. Independent work consists (in addition to the engine disassembly and reassembly activity mentioned above) of studies conducted individually or in small groups: work based on course materials (handouts, textbook), and solving two problems selected from an extensive list of highly varied problems (as mentioned above; see details below).

Experimental Mechanics

Course Director

The course has two main objectives. Drawing on examples from industry, the course first aims to help students understand the challenges involved in a mechanical testing campaign and to equip them with the tools needed to design experimental plans for the mechanical characterization of materials. With this in mind, the course will begin with a description of standardized tests to highlight their limitations, followed by a presentation of original or “non-standard” tests that are as well-instrumented as possible. To this end, part of the course will be devoted to the study of non-contact thermomechanical measurement techniques (infrared thermography and digital image correlation). In a second phase, the focus will be on establishing the link between continuum mechanics, thermomechanical behavior equations, and experimental characterization. The concepts of stress and strain analysis will be reviewed to understand the methods for optimizing behavior and damage mechanisms, which we aim to identify through the tests. The in-person component (29 hours) is structured into plenary sessions (12 hours), mini-projects (in pairs or groups of three) (15 hours), and project presentations before a panel (30 minutes). Students’ independent work (6 hours) includes: Understanding the mini-project, literature review, scientific analysis and interpretation of the results obtained, writing a summary, and preparing an oral presentation
