BPr1: Characterizing materials and identifying defects
Summary: Emerging characterization methods of nonlinear acoustics – Understanding fundamental processes of nonlinear wave interactions with non classical nonlinearities for the development of characterization methods in association with dedicated signal processing and analysis in terms of detection capability and structural reliability.
BPr2: Modeling and simulating durability, damage and failure
Summary: Failure homogenization (from constituents to material) and durability assessment (from material to product).
BPr3: Damping and functional structures and composites
Summary: The optimisation of damping properties of composite materials will be investigated by using innovating multilayer architectures combined with the use of acoustic black hole effect. Maps of mechanical parameters will be obtained by dedicated inverse methods.
