Stephane Bourgeois

Stephane Bourgeois is a Senior Lecturer at Centrale Marseille, affiliated with the School of Engineering and the Department of Mechanics. His research focuses on structural mechanics, computational modeling, and fracture mechanics of heterogeneous materials.

His work includes the development of advanced rod models for flexible thin-walled cross-sections, applications to tape spring folding and deployment, and numerical methods for periodic homogenization. Key trends in his publications span nonlinear dynamics, elastoplastic behavior, and computational mechanics.

Stephane is associated with the LMA (Laboratory of Mechanics and Acoustics) and has contributed to projects involving nuclear reactor damping, composite materials, and bistable systems. His research integrates experimental validation with finite element analysis and direct numerical approaches.
