Speaker Prof. Gilles Lubineau, PSE Division, KAUST, Saudi Arabia
Bio: Prof Gilles Lubineau is the principal investigator for COHMAS (COmposite and Heterogeneous Materials Analysis and Simulation), an  integrated environment for  composite engineering that  he  created in  2009  when joining KAUST as  an Associate Professor. Current research interests include: integrity at  short and/or  long -term of  composite materials and
structures, inverse problems for the identification of constitutive parameters, multi-scale coupling technique, multifunctional
materials and modeling.

Before joining KAUST, Pr. Lubineau was a faculty member at the École Normale Supérie ure of Cachan, and a non-resident faculty member at the École Polytechnique, France. He also served as a visiting researcher at UC -Berkeley.

He served as program chair of the Mechanical Engineering program at Kaust from 2009 to 2012 and as chair of the Mas ter of
Mechanical Enginnering at ENS Cachan from 2005 to 2007.

Prof. Lubineau earned a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from École Normale Supérieure de Cachan (ENS -Cachan), France. He was ranked 1st at the agrégation in theoretical mechanics and was gra nted his research habilitation in Mechanics in 2008. He received the Daniel Valentin Award for best innovative works related to the field of composite materials in 2004.

The constitutive compatibility method: concept and challenges

The robust and low-cost identification of local material parameters in heterogeneous continua is a key step for accurately feeding advanced simulations of complex microstructures. Classical testing procedures  that  rely  as  much  as  possible  on homogeneous  mechanical  fields  only  give  access  to
averaged quantities at the scale of the specimen.

A way to experimentally obtain more local information is to capture the heterogeneous kinematics (typically the heterogeneous displacement field). This makes Image-based techniques the perfect  tool  for  studying  heterogeneous  structures.  The  challenge  is  then  to  design  a  relevant inversion technique to recover the local material parameters from this enriched information.

We focus here on the CEGM, which, unlike other methods, considers the constitutive equation in a weak manner as a guiding norm for the identification.

First, we will discuss about the local identification of linear elastic behaviors. We propose a technique to uncouple the solution process into a global optimization over a specific stress space so called the ``solution stress space", followed by a local estimation of the material parameters in a strong manner at any point of interest in the domain. The proposed '``constitutive compatibility technique", leads to two major advantages: (1) a drastic reduction in the computation cost (2) an ability to easily determine points where the identified parameters are non-unique.

Second, we introduce a domain decomposition technique in the CCM framework. While plenty of work has been carried out on domain decomposition for forward problems, there is at our best knowledge no literature related to the development of domain decomposition technique specifically designed for DIC-based inverse problems. To address this, this talk describes the development of the domain decomposition CCM for more computationally efficient identification in the case of larger problems.
