The Mann spectral method combines rapid distortion theory, an assumed linear mean wind shear, the Von Kármán spectral tensor and a model for eddy lifetime, and it is restricted to homogeneous Gaussian turbulence fields. Although the spectral tensor in principle contains the same information as the cross spectra, the tensor formulation leads to considerable simpler and faster simulations of turbulence than the cross spectra based methods. This type of synthetic turbulence field generation will therefore still be used for simulating the ambient turbulence field as well as the large scale turbulence field applied for the description of the meandering process. 2, record 14, English, - Mann%20spectral%20tensor%20model

L'étude des contraintes internes par diffraction de neutrons se fait au LLB en étroite collaboration avec l'Université de Reims, l'INFM (Italie) et le KFK Karlsruhe (Allemagne). C'est un secteur qui fait l'objet d'une forte demande industrielle : en effet, c'est actuellement la seule technique non destructive de détermination du tenseur local de déformation dans une pièce massive, avec actuellement une résolution spatiale de l'ordre du mm3; dans le cas fréquent d'un comportement élastique, on peut alors déterminer le tenseur local des contraintes internes. La connaissance de ces contraintes est dans beaucoup d'applications industrielles particulièrement importantes pour les calculs de tenue en fatigue des pièces. 2, record 20, French, - tenseur%20local%20de%20d%C3%A9formation
