UNIVERSITY OF Luxembourg RUES RESEARCH UNIT IN ENGINEERING SCIENCE BUILDING UP THE FUTURE

CORE BUSINESS

The Research Unit in Engineering Science is an interdisciplinary group active in the classical domains of civil, electrical and mechanical engineering.

The main focus of research is on:

• The development of technological solutions
• The sustainable and economical use of all kinds of resources
• The establishment of a centre of expertise for the technological requirements of Luxembourg’s industrial and public actors

The main research activities are cooperative efforts of specialists in the classical engineering domains organised in three main clusters:

• Construction and Design: research on civil and mechanical engineering structures, fatigue behavior, dynamic testing methods
• Energy and Environment: energy efficiency of buildings, analysis of energy consumption, renewable energies
• Automation and Mechatronics: research on mechatronic systems, dynamics of electromechanical systems

Special emphasis is given to numerical simulations for optimisation of experimental efforts.

Particular emphasis is also given to numerical simulation in order to reduce the required experimental effort, but the validation of the models will remain an essential asset.

All treated projects have an applied as well as a fundamental character in engineering research.

All research activities are integrated into a network of national, regional and international public and industrial research institutions.
