Aims

This activity aims at initiating students to scientific research and drawing their attention on a selection of recent developments in the following fields:
- non-linear continuum mechanics
- fluid mechanics
- solid mechanics
- mechatronics
- applied thermodynamics
- combustion and energetics
- heat transfer
- numerical methods for the solution of partial differential equations

Main themes

The seminar is spread over the whole academic year. It is accessible to 2nd-cycle students with a graduating thesis in one of the pre-cited fields as well as graduate students.

Supplementary to the attendance of seminars, students are invited to read a research paper that is provided, and to present (in public) a critical summary of the subject under consideration.

Students may, if they wish, also participate to the GraSMech doctoral course (http://www.mech.kuleuven.ac.be/GraSMech).
