Research projects

ANR Project on Architectured Materials: ArchiMatHOS (2018-2022)

“Architectured materials designed with higher-order homogenization”

The primary objective of this project is to generate new architectured materials featuring non-standard properties by means of higher-order asymptotic homogenization techniques and topology optimization procedures. The team involves the following labs: Imath, Institut Elie Cartan, MSME, LEM3, LNCC

Fitting surfaces with origami Tessellations

Whereas a smooth sheet of paper may fit only developable surfaces, once folded, origami tessellations seems to fit a broader family of surfaces. This project investigates these non-trivial surfaces and the corresponding smooth mechanical models.

The case of Miura Ori

The case of the “Eggbox pattern”

Mechanical modeling of CLT panels

Cross Laminated Timber panels, (CLT) are structural members made of several layers of board stacked crosswize to form a plate. Because wood is highly anisotropic and these panels features several scales of heterogenity (annual ring, board, layer and plate) they require advanced mechanical and structural modeling

Thick plate modelling of CLT et close-form solutions

Buckling of CLT

Experimental characterization of the rolling shear stiffness of a CLT layer

Higher-order elasto-plastic beam models

Higher-order beam models in small perturbation were formulated and implemented in partnership with Strains Engineering. These models are based on asymptotic methods. The influence of the load distribution in the beam section as well as the effect of inelastic strains (thermal dilatation, humidity etc) are finely taken into account. This allowed us to extend the formulation to elasto-plasticity and apply it to steel frames and also reinforced concrete.
