Presentation of the SIAMELaboratory for applied sciences in mechanics and electrical engineering

The SIAME laboratory is a resident research team of the University of Pau and the Pays de l'Adour whose research is carried out in the field of Engineering Sciences.

The unit is structured in 4 teams:

- Complex and energetic flows (EE),

- Geomaterials and structures for civil engineering (GS),

- Wave / Structure Interaction (IVS),

- High Voltage Processes (PHT).

The research is based on experimental expertise, modelling and numerical simulations.

The laboratory is a member of the research federations IPRA and MIRA, of the Carnot ISIFOR Institute.

One of the Laboratory's major assets is its long-standing partnership activity, which is reflected in the participation of teams in three joint research laboratories (SAGE, KOSTARISK and UPPA - Nobatek/INEF4).

The University of Pau and Pays de l'Adour has defined two values that guide its research activity:

• Reconciling science and society for a reasoned progress
• To act within a territory.

For the period 2022-2026, these values are broken down into five interdisciplinary missions focused on societal issues.

The research work and projects of SIAME researchers contribute to 4 of these 5 interdisciplinary missions.

Even if the positioning is very marked within the teams (for example: mission 5 for the GS team, mission 1 for the IVS team, missions 2 and 3 for the EE team), our overall analysis shows a good balance on these missions.
