DOLPHIN (Development Original truck Lab for PHysical Integration) est né de la volonté de préparer l’arrivée des futures générations de poids lourds routiers électriques, en combinant les nouvelles technologies disponibles et en repensant leur usage dans ce contexte.
Le projet a pour ambition :

In this project, we challenge ourselves to increase the accuracy of trajectory tracking for cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) in additive manufacturing (AM) and to ensure the geometric quality of the produced parts. Indeed, our objective is to develop CDPRs with static and dynamic performance levels that meet the requirements of high-quality and high-productivity AM with a resolution of 0.1 mm.

Medical implants replace dysfunctional or missing body parts to maintain physiological functions. The associated market is growing by 4%/year. However, the key factor restraining the market is high implant costs. In this view, PEEK and CRF-PEEK due to biocompatibility, mechanical properties similar to that of bone and radiolucency, are increasingly used instead of metals. But, these biomaterials are bionert inducing a very limited osseointegration, which is THE expectation for bone implants.

The objective of the RHU ICELAND is to develop a new solution for annuloplasty of the mitral valve by transfemoral approach integrating an Intra Cardiac Ultrasound. Such a solution can be performed while the heart is beating, without cardiopulmonary bypass, thus providing a first-stage mitral valve repair solution for patients considered high risk who are not eligible for open surgery, and further for most patients requiring mitral valve repair. .

Le projet européen ITN MOIRA (Monitoring Large-Scale Complex Systems) a pour but de promouvoir la coopération entre des universités, des instituts des recherches et des industriels européens afin de développer une expertise en maintenance des parcs d’éolienne.

Le projet implique des actions de recherche en ingénierie mécanique, en science informatique, en traitement des signaux et des données et en problèmes inverses.

Silicate glasses are archetypal brittle materials where surface flaws dictate practical strength. Although there is little variation in the major mechanical properties of most silicate glasses (elastic modulus, hardness and fracture toughness all vary by less than a factor of two with composition), the resistance to surface damage stands out, with sometimes variations by two orders of magnitude with moderate composition changes.

En aviron comme en cyclisme, le rapport entre l’homme et la machine est primordial. Jusqu’alors, les études menées pour maximiser la performance ont abordé l’être humain d’un côté et de la machine de l’autre, sans jamais qu’aucune mise en perspective des deux n’ait été envisagée. C’est précisément l’objectif de ce projet THCPA2024, que de faire coïncider ces deux domaines d’études.

L’usure par fretting (micro-déplacements alternés) est considérée comme une dégradation critique au niveau de nombreux contacts industriels (roulements, turbine, attaches moteur).

This project is concerned with the fundamental study of an innovative damage detection and imaging method for structural monitoring. The principle is based on the use of ambient acoustic and vibrational noise as a substitute to incident ultrasound waves generated in conventional non-destructive testing methods.
