Expertise in Mechanics of Composite Materials and Environment

1. Innovative Materials and Composite Structures theme

• Vibro-acoustics of composite materials
• Acoustics in guided environments: Calculation and measurement of TL and mouth noise, innovative concept of acoustic devices, impedance measurement, engine acoustics
• Acoustic imaging: Intensimetry, beamforming , near field holography
• Measurement of acoustic impedance in flat waves: Kundt tube
• Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA)
• Study on the behaviour of composite materials, structures and associated assemblies under dynamic rapid stresses (impact, crash), great distortion and fatigue
• Investigation of damage and rupture mechanisms via optical methodologies and non-destructive tests
• Fatigue behaviour of composite materials and structures.
• Rapid dynamic coupling – fatigue
• Mechanical characterisation under controlled environment (temperature, relative humidity)

2. Analysis and Reduction of Polluting Emissions theme

• Physics of aerosols
• Study of particulate deposit processes coming into play in the de-pollution of gas/particle mixtures
• The study on coupling between flow turbulent flows and the spatial-temporal movements of particulate pollutants, and transfer to walls
• CFD in multi-phase flow
• Granulometry
