To ensure the security of nuclear electricity production, an understanding of the behavior of nuclear fuel materials is necessary. This work aims at making a contribution to the study of the effects of temperature on nuclear fuels, by using an ab initio approach through density functional theory and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD). To explicity take account of the temperature, a non-perturbative lattice dynamics method is formalised, allowing to study the evolution of phonons and thermodynamic properties with temperature. In order to reduce the important computational cost of AIMD, a machine-learning based sampling method is developped, which allows to accelerate the simulation of materials at finite temperature. Those different methods...
