Research Interests
Professor Lubineau's research activities are related to the predication of degradation within laminated and thermostructural composites. These activities are in a general way related to the prediction of degradation within laminated and thermostructural composites. He focuses more specifically on the improvement of mesoscale damage approaches, but developing their links with micromechanics. These relationships, which gave birth to a recently developed micromechanical computational modeling for laminates, are a possible answer to actually open problems (intra-inter laminar coupling, ageing, oxidation, etc.).
The introduction of these research innovations within efficient frameworks for the industrial partners is also a key point of the work. Due to these enhanced simulation tools, the identification procedure for these materials can also be largely improved by coupling reliable numerical simulation and data extraction on experimental observation.
