Mathieu XAVIER

Scientist

In 2019, I obtained my PhD in Materials Science from the University of Lorraine. My thesis, in collaboration with CEA-DAM-DIF, deals with the fragmentation of metal envelopes and, more specifically, the development of plastic instabilities, which are precursors to rupture. Following my thesis, I joined CEA-DAM-DIF as a research engineer. My work continues to focus on the fragmentation of metal shells, combining the development of models integrated into dynamic hydrocodes and the design of experiments to validate the physics involved in this phenomenon. I am an active member of the LRC FragDyn (a joint research laboratory bringing together CEA DAM, ISAE-SUPERO, the University of Lorraine, the École des Mines de Saint-Étienne, and CNRS to strengthen shared expertise in experimentation, modeling, and simulation of the dynamic fragmentation of metal structures).
