معرفی
Nicolas Binaud is a Lecturer at Paul Sabatier University (UPS), where he is a member of the Modeling of Mechanical Systems and Microsystems group (MS2M) at Espace Clément Ader in Toulouse, France. His research focuses on multidisciplinary design in uncertain environments with emphasis on robustness, reliability, and sensitivity analysis of mechanical systems.
His research interests span across:
- Multidisciplinary design under uncertainty
- Modeling of uncertainties and variations of design variables
- Sensitivity analyses for mechanical systems
- Development of performance indices for preliminary design
- Mechanical and computer-aided design
- Digital tools for mechanics
- Probability and reliability engineering
Dr. Binaud's scholarly work demonstrates expertise in mechanical systems design with particular strength in cable-driven parallel robots, structural reliability, and predictive maintenance. His research shows strong interdisciplinary connections between mechanical engineering, aerospace applications (particularly airframe maintenance), and materials science (especially electrostatic interactions in microsystems). Analysis of his publication record reveals consistent output with recent work focusing on sensitivity analysis of robotic systems and electrostatic characterization techniques.
His notable contributions include:
- Development of comprehensive methods for sensitivity analysis of cable-driven parallel robots
- Research on model-based prognostics for fatigue crack growth in aircraft structures
- Studies on 3D charge localization in thin dielectric materials using atomic force microscopy
- Applications of Kalman filtering techniques for structural health monitoring
- Cost-driven optimization of predictive maintenance policies for aerospace structures
