Expérimental et théorique
In the field of engineering, there is a growing interest for flexible components over rigid ones, in devices designed to operate within fluid flow. The capacity of these components to deform makes them more resilient and adaptable to fluctuating fluid environments. Nevertheless, a major challenge lies in understanding how these flexible objects deform when subjected to fluid loading and in being able to control their responses. The objective of the internship is to investigate static and dynamic flow-induced instabilities of kirigami sheets (inspired by the Japanes art of paper cutting), to ensure the structural integrity of those functional components, or alternatively for applications such as energy harvesting.
