The Pole is interested in modeling complex structures and study their behavior. This activity is motivated by industrial applications (including through collaboration in the areas of transport and energy). In this context, issues such as fatigue and wear, dynamic analysis and stability of structures, identification of behavior and data inversion, the study of underground storages have been strong developments. The works are mostly theoretical or digital and in some cases have the analysis of experimental campaigns.

Some current projects :

• Underground Storage (Pierre Berest)
• Identification of temperatures and stresses during industrial processes (Daniel Weisz-Patrault)
• Multiscale analysis of fatigue of materials and structures (Andréi Constantinescu – Eric Charkaluk)
