Current Research Interests:
P. Ladevèze is working in the two domains: computational mechanics and the material modeling of composites. He is the initiator of the LATIN method and of the Proper Generalized Decomposition technique, which have paved the way for new high-performance computational strategies. His name is also associated with an advanced damage material model for laminated composites. He has co-authored 205 papers published in international scientific journals. He is also a member of the advisory editorial boards of 13 international scientific journals. His scientific research activities revolve around four main topics:
1. Model verification, validation and updating: error estimators and adaptive improvements for linear as well as time-dependent nonlinear finite element analysis; modeling error and identification; lack-of-knowledge theory
2. Modeling and analysis of composite materials and structures
3. Mechanics-based computational strategies for nonlinear problems (the LATIN-PGD method): multiscale strategies and parallel computing
4. Simplified computational methods: exact beam and plate theories; variational theory of complex rays for medium-frequency vibrations.
These problems belong primarily in the mechanical domain, but also expand into the fields of applied mathematics and materials science. Even though this work devotes much attention to the fundamental research aspects, a considerable amount of this research work, including the development of prototype software programs, is conducted in close collaboration with industry, especially the space and aeronautics industries. The practical problems treated are related to the design and the sizing process, and the reliability of the product being designed or built, and can even involve the manufacturing process used for its construction.
