LABORATOIRE DE GENIE ELECTRIQUE ET FERROELECTRICITE (LGEF)

The main research activities of the LGEF concern the multiphysics coupling, particularly the electroactive materials and their applications. The research are principally divided into two closely related the mesincluding: Electroactive polymer: elaboration constitutive modeling associated experimentation, especially on ferroelectric ceramic, electroactive polymer with non- objets, piezoelectric paint or ink, as their multiscale modeling of the electromechanical behaviour.

LGEF of INSA Lyon conducted by a multidisciplinary team of experts. Our labaratories are equiped with a complete library of software and specialized measurement apparatus.
