Assets (1)

  • Grenoble speciality ( both neutrons and X rays

large instruments)

  • Direct space

 direct interpretation  direct artefacts

  • Mesoscale: 10mm and above

 Natural scales Man made structures Scale of damage events

SLIDE 4

Asset (2)

  • Deep penetration

Non destructive analysis Long range interation phenomena ( elastic stresses)

  • Sensitive to light elements
slide-5
SLIDE 5

Who may be interested?

  • Anybody interested in the elements with the

largest cross section such as Li, H2, Cl…

Fuel cells, batteries…

  • Any body with events at the mesoscale

=>cracks, voids, methanisation…

  • Anybody interested in fuid motion in situ

=> microfluidics, heat exchangers

If you could go to a better resolution…around 1mm

  • Cavity nucleation in creep
  • Hydrides formation under stress in Zr
  • Fluid flow and boiling crisis
  • Cavitation process in diesel
  • Foamings of polymers and metals
  • Non destructive testing of glued assemblies
  • Distribution or organic and inorganic matter in

structural biomaterials
