Afin de réduire l’effet des activités humaines sur le changement climatique, diverses techniques industrielles envisagent l’injection de fluide dans des réservoirs souterrains, modifiant ainsi la composition chimique de l’eau contenu dans les pores.

As the world transitions to low-carbon energy systems, renewable electricity must be complemented by flexible storage and reconversion options. Power-to-fuel (P2F) technologies generate hydrogen, methane, methanol, and ammonia, which can be stored and later reconverted in Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units.

The assessment of civil engineering structures undergoing extreme loading events relies on advanced numerical models that must be capable of capturing the strong nonlinearities occurring during such events—strain localizations, cracking, or members detaching from the structure. Numerous models exist that allow for a highly detailed representation of those phenomena.

As life expectancy increases worldwide, more people are affected by gait pathologies, caused either by the natural decline in locomotor functions, or indirectly. Last decades have seen emergence of promising technological solutions to assist their walk, such as lower limbs exoskeletons. There exists a large diversity of strategies to control these devices, among which some are said to be

Immersed granular flows, which are mixtures of solid particles and interstitial fluid, are found in a wide range of natural and industrial processes, including landslides and sediment transport and fluidised beds.

The growing demand for long-distance travel, combined with the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, calls for more sustainable and efficient transportation systems. Among the possible options, high-speed ground transportation systems, such as the Hyperloop, have attracted significant attention.

The research on sustainable electric machines is focused on developing synchronous electric machines that have a low environmental footprint. This is achieved in several ways. Firstly, we increase energy efficiency and power density of axial and radial flux synchronous machines by making them multiphase, by changing ferromagnetic materials (e.g.

The last “iMMCminar” for this academic year is scheduled. It will be given by Prof. Karen Mulleners (Unsteady flow diagnostics laboratory, EPFL) on Monday, July 7, 2025, at 15:00. Nature is full of thin, flexible objects that bend, flutter, or flap in the wind or the water such as leaves of trees and bushes, insect wings, and fish fins.

PhD Defense : The Belgian Macroseismic Database: Creation, Validation, and its Implications for Engineering Seismology by Ben NEEFS For the average citizen in Belgium, earthquakes are perceived as distant events, unlikely to ever affect their daily lives or warrant concern. This perception is supported by the relative absence of significant seismic activity in Belgium over the past 30 years.
