RESEARCH TEAM PRESENTATION:

Joint team between Institut de Mathématiques de Bordeaux (UMR CNRS 5251 and Universités de Bordeaux 1, 2 and 4) and the Laboratory Intégration du Matériau au Système (UMR CNRS 5218 and Université de Bordeaux 1).

Economic, scientific and military competition leads many industrial sectors to design ever more successful and reliable processes and equipment. Reliability and quality control, and more generally dependability and safety, have thus become crucial in the field of engineering.
The objective of our team is to apply mathematical methods especially probabilistic and statistical tools from estimation and control theory to dependability and safety and more specifically to dynamic reliability and quality control.

RESEARCH THEMES:

We investigate the following fields:

• Design and analysis of realistic and accurate random models for dependability. In particular, models for dynamic reliability and semi- or non-parametric models for quality control.
• Implementation of estimation algorithms in relation with our stochastic models and evaluation of reliability indexes.
• Design of control for maintenance and reconfiguration.
