Research background

His activities are in a general way related to the prediction of degradation within laminated and thermostructural composites. He participates more specifically in the improvement of mesoscale damage approaches, by developing their links with micromechanics. The introduction of these research innovations within efficient frameworks for the industrial partners is also a key point of his work. Due to these enhanced simulation tools, the identification procedure for these materials can also be largely improved, by coupling reliable numerical simulation and data extraction on experimental observation. He is currently interested in multifunctional aspects for composite materials, inverse problems for identification based on 2D and 3D full field measurements, aging and multiphysics issues in composites. These experimental and theoretical issues are fundamental for achieving new challenges in composite applications.
