Division for Materials and Structure Sciences
Research areas
The main research and technology transfer objective of the Mechanical Engineering and Materials Department (MEM) is to contribute to the analysis, modeling and design of new materials and structures for, in particular, the transportation, civil and mechanical engineering sectors. This objective is reached through a mechanical engineering approach which closely associates good control of the theoretical, digital and experimental tools of mechanics and in-depth knowledge of the structure of materials.
Departmental activities are structured around four topics :
processes : modeling and optimization
implementation: design assistance
behavior of composites and fabrics
the mechanics of MEMS
These topics are all part of broader problems, pooling similar approaches carried out on different families of materials and structures by the other SMS teams.
