Materials and Processes Integration Theme

Theme presentation

Application Areas

• Construction 4. 0 and sustainable city
• Industry 5.0

Key Research Questions

• How does the implementation of biobased and geobased materials influence their properties?
• How to model the behavior laws of these materials, integrating both experimental data and numerical tools such as AI, FEM, etc.?
• How to model the degradation mechanisms of these materials to simulate the service life of parts and structures?
