This project is concerned with a breakthrough for the control of complex multi-physical systems by considering a novel class of Implicit port hamiltonian systems, analyzing their system prperties and developing new dedicated methods for numerical simulation and control design. The teams involved in this project are FEMTO-ST, LAGEPP, LCIS, ISAE Website: https://impacts.ens2m.fr/
2017-2021 : ITN Project CONFLEX :
In this project we develop systems and control theory needed to understand and control large flexible structures and fluid structure interactions. The beneficiaries are a group of 15 academics from the fields of modelling, control theory, distributed parameter systems and fluid dynamics, aeroelasticity, swimming and marine engineering, working in either mathematics or engineering departments, with strong links between us. We are located at 10 universities in the UK, France, The Netherlands, Spain, Germany and Israel. In addition, we have four partner universities in Canada, China, USA and France and 11 prestigious industry partners, mostly from Europe. We believe that our backgrounds and skills are sufficiently close so that we can (and do) communicate with ease, but also sufficiently distinct so that we can cover many aspects of this field, and hence (as a consortium) offer outstanding training to young researchers. We believe that this area will have a great impact on the technology of the future, as well as on our understanding of nature, and we are eager to train new
scientists and engineers in this broad field. We believe that Science and Technology in Europe will greatly benefit from this research, and from the education and and knowledge that we will impart to a new generation of researchers. Our research plans are organized into five scientific work packages, which cover mathematical systems theory, modelling and model reduction, relevant aspects of control theory, and applications. The applications that we plan to investigate concern a wide range of flexible structures in interaction with fluids: wind turbines, aircraft wings, precision machine tools, vessels linked by cables as encountered in marine salvage operations and microscopic electromechanical devices. These apparently unrelated systems face similar challenges and can be analysed and controlled in a unified framework. Website: https://www.conflex.org/
2017-2021 : ANR/DFG Project INFIDHEM :
In this project, we consider networks of heterogeneous systems, which also involves transducers in the network to provide actuation, as for instance in smart foams for acoustics, or coupled mass and heat transport phenomena in catalytic foams. We will develop tools for their analysis, model reduction, simulation and control. The methodology used in this project, combines classical tools for infinite-dimensional systems and the theory of interconnected port-Hamiltonian (PH) systems. The teams involved in this project are FEMTO-ST, LAGEP, ISAE and TUM, Kiel and Wuppertal Universities.

2011-2015 : ANR Project, HAMECMOPSYS (AAP Blanc SIMI3) :
Hamiltonian Methods for the Control of Multidomain Distribute Parameter Systems. This project is about port Hamiltonian framework and its use for modelling, analysis and control of infinitedimensional systems in the context of multidomain systems. This project is concerned with fluid / structure interactions, irreversible thermodynamics, dissipative systems and fractional derivative systems. The teams involved in this project are FEMTO-ST, LAGEP, ISAE and IECN.
