Research Group RELIABLE

Reliability of polymers under mechanical and environmental loads

 

Research Fields

The research in the field of Reliability of polymers under mechanical and environmental loads is devoted to the following topics:

  • Polymers and composites under complex multiaxial mechanical and environmental loads
    • long-term static
    • cyclic
    • impact
    • temperature and medias
  • Application of fracture mechanics in design 
  • Polymers and composites for structural and long term  applications (automotive, aircraft, civil engineering, ...)
