Type of internship
Expérimental Description
The aim of the internship is to study experimentally a model of permafrost: a frozen wet granular material subjected to freeze/thaw cycles to mimic the action of the seasons on the top layer of these soils. During the internship, different strategies for visualizing the micromechanical processes taking place in the system will be developed in order to measure local grain movements and relate them to larger-scale deformations.
