Research activities

Computational strategies for high performance computing :

  • Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD)
  • Model reduction, approaches for parametrized problems
  • Nonincremental strategy LATIN
  • Time and space multiscale methods
  • Multiphysics, coupled problems
  • Domain decomposition, parallelism
  • Nonlinear behavior, contact

Examples of applications :

  • Fluid-structure interaction in porous media (coll. University of Padova, Italy)
  • Virtual testing of the joints of Ariane 5 space launcher (project funded by CNES, coll. EADS-ASTRIUM-ST)
  • Taking account of variability in engine blades (MAIA/SAFRAN project funded by ANR)
  • Optimization of the geometry of car devices (OMD2/RENAULT project funded by ANR)
  • Taking account of variability in fatigue simulations (APPROFI/SAFRAN project funded by ANR)
  • New solutions of damping in Ariane 6 space launcher (ARIAN/AIRBUS-DS project funded by ANR)
  • Simulation of fretting-fatigue (COGNAC project funded by SAFRAN)
  • Model reduction for the simulation of damage in earthquake engineering (project funded by ANR and IRSN)
  • Transfer of high-performance model reduction techniques to an industrial finite element code (project funded by SIEMENS)
