About
The Roberval Laboratory focuses on the design of innovative mechanical/multi-physical components and systems, proposing to conduct scientific and technological research in an interdisciplinary context, a necessary condition for the design, study of the behavior and durability of complex systems.
A synergy of research teams
The strength and originality of the Roberval Laboratory are evident in the combination of skills of its researchers, who work in synergy within the five research teams, to implement numerical and experimental methods to validate and recalibrate the results of the models.
Meeting industry challenges
The Laboratory largely encourages strong interactions between researchers who, by combining their efforts and skills, allow solving more global problems that constitute challenges for the industry.
Numerical Mechanics
Solve and optimize complex multiphysics problems on large industrial systems.
Acoustics and vibrations
Develop and implement numerical models and experimental tools for the optimization of the vibroacoustic behavior of structures.
Materials and surfaces
Study and modeling, on the surface and in volume, of the mechanical behavior of materials in relation to their microstructures.
Mechatronics, energy, electricity, integration
Design of mechatronic systems and electrical engineering components highly constrained by the embedded context or available space.
Integrated Systems : product / process
Development of tools and methods for the integrated and robust design of products and processes.
The laboratory’s five research teams each represent a well-defined disciplinary field, allowing them to be recognized in their own communities and to provide themselves with a working framework conducive to the development of knowledge and skills.
