Soft body impacts, namely hail or birds, are a serious and inevitable threat for the integrity of
aircrafts, automobiles and trains windshield, wind towers nacelles, photovoltaic panels …

Numerical errors are insidious, difficult to predict and inherent in different levels of critical
systems design. Indeed, numerical algorithms generally constitute approximations of an …

Most failures develop as a result of a lack of resistivity information at the internal structure
level during typical loading situations such as shock load and impact load. Impact loads …

Fatigue behavior takes special relevance in structural parts for aircraft due to safety reasons.
Despite its environmental advantages, dry machining of these parts may negatively affect …

Defective welds substantially hinder the quality of a welded joint, and choosing the best
process parameter to ensure tunnel defect-free welds requires extensive experimentation. A …

Meshfree particle methods are being increasingly employed in solving problems in
automotive, aeronautics and oil industries, environmental and geophysical problems …

In this paper, the finite-element (FE) method combined with smoothed particle hydrodynamic
(SPH) method is used to simulate the bird strike process, and a new type of tail leading edge …

Cette thèse est constituée de trois contributions liées à la formalisation en Coq d'analyses
