MRIPF

The objective of the MRIPF project is to better understand and control the phenomenon of rupture or fragmentation resulting from cracking.

This phenomenon is interesting for scientists, since it must either be excluded from certain applications or be controlled in order to orient the fragments (for example ammunition) in a certain direction (problem of collateral damage).

MRIPF aims to:

  • understand the physics of the phenomenon,
  • develop a database of numerical models for propagation analysis of these cracks in order to determine their behavior in industrial situations, and
  • design innovative products on this basis.

A plus for the armaments market and all industrial applications related to the phenomenon of fracture!
