International Master course WAVES

Thu, 13 Oct 2022 08:25:09 +0200

The program WAVES (Waves, Acoustics, Vibrations, Engineering and Sound) is a two-year international Master course fully taught in English, awarding multiple national Master’s degrees and a Joint Diploma Supplement with the support of the Erasmus Mundus Program of the European Union.
Website of the program: https://master-waves.eu [https://master-waves.eu/]

The main objective of this master’s degree in Acoustics is to provide the students with expertise in experimental methodology, numerical modeling and theory in order to be able to design, characterize, model and understand acoustical systems and devices.

It relies on the following mobility path: the first semester is spent in Coimbra (Portugal), the second one in Valencia (Spain) and the third one in Marseille (France). The fourth semester is then devoted to the Master's thesis and the internship.

Study program : https://www.master-waves.eu/waves-study-program

The third recruitment campaign will open by the beginning of November 2022 until the end of January 2023.

It is also possible to apply for Erasmus Mundus scholarships (including a monthly subsistence allowance and travel amp; installation costs). Detailed information about admission criteria and funding rules to be found on the dedicated page : https://www.master-waves.eu/waves-applications-menu/waves-applications-2

Argumented reality for structural cracking @ University of Texas (6-8 months fellowship)

Mon, 18 Sep 2017 15:51:16 +0200

The objective of this research program is to design, implement and validate an advanced vision-based assessment technology for the nondestructive evaluation of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Overall it is proposed to use augmented reality, and advanced data processing techniques for automatically detecting, evaluating and monitoring crack propagation in RC elements. The research team will leverage the data from one current project sponsored by the Texas Department of Transportation. This data includes, but is not limited to digital images taken during the testing of standard Texas RC bridge girders. Testing is being done to examine damage development (i.e., crack patterns and widths) at prestress release and the load resisting performance of the girders under shear-critical loading scenarios. On the basis of the results obtained, the research team will refine the algorithms such that their performance is optimized.
