The department of architectural engineering has set up an interdisciplinary 'research lab on architectural engineering' to bring together research in the field. Find out more about the latest research on http://www.vub.ac.be/ARCH/ae-lab/home
The division PMA (Production techniques, Machine design and Automation) is unique in its multi-disciplinary system approach in the study and development of innovative products, production processes and intelligent (production) machines. Research programs are primarily defined based on social (industrial) relevance. In addition, fundamental contributions are made to the underlying scientific disciplines (computational dynamics, optimization, ...
Research topics of this unit are:
• reliability of mechanical systems
• dynamics of mechanical systems
• non-deterministic numerical analysis techniques
• fatigue and longevity of mechanical systems
