Description du projet
Une nouvelle plateforme pour des métamatériaux sur mesure
La conception rationnelle de la composition et de la structure des matériaux afin d’obtenir les propriétés souhaitées est au cœur de la recherche et du développement des matériaux. Le domaine émergent et en pleine expansion des métamatériaux (matériaux «au-delà») a ouvert une nouvelle ère de perspectives. L’ingénierie de la géométrie «unitaire» à l’échelle micro ou nanométrique et les configurations globales qui l’exploitent ont permis d’obtenir des propriétés et des fonctionnalités exotiques inédites dans l’espace des propriétés des matériaux conventionnels. Le projet CoMetaS, financé par l’UE, développera des méthodologies de conception multi-échelle pour aider l’Europe à concevoir de manière intégrée à la fois les métamatériaux et les structures destinées à exploiter leurs propriétés, afin de les optimiser tous deux et de renforcer l’avantage concurrentiel de l’Europe.
Objectif
The purpose of CoMetaS is to establish a network of interdisciplinary research groups to solve a new scientific and technological challenge of high practical interest for industry, consisting in developing an integrated, reliable and efficient multiscale methodology for Concurrent Metamaterial-Structure Design employing functionally graded mechanical metamaterials.
Taking advantage of the unique technological opportunity that the design freedom revolution of 3D-printing at microscales is bringing to industry and engineering, the purpose of CoMetaS is to help the European industry and future academic system by generating the needed interdisciplinary and intersectoral network of researchers and engineers capable of developing high-tech, value-added products to increase its technological leadership, critical for high living standards in a global market.
CoMetaS constitutes a multidisciplinary change of paradigm on how engineering structural design has been performed to date, integrating the metamaterial design concurrently with the structural design through double inverse analyses and surrogate continuum models obtained by data-driven techniques.
CoMetaS is a highly multidisciplinary and intersectoral project, involving high-tech companies leading their fields and complementary leading academic research groups.
CoMetaS has the right combination of excellence in research, academic training, and industry experience, and high international and intersectoral mobility for fostering innovation-oriented, entrepreneurial, and creative researchers.
Through clearly defined research objectives, CoMetaS promotes high mobility, intersectoral, and transnational cooperation for excellent training, science and technology, by involving 6 academic research groups and 4 technological companies from 5 different countries.
