Under the effect of cyclic stresses and deformations, the local properties of a material can be modified, with possible consequences such as the appearance of cracks, ultimately leading to structural failure. The study of the fatigue behavior of materials and structures is therefore a major challenge for industry, particularly in the automotive, aerospace, defense, and energy sectors.

RNC Fatigue has defined several priority areas of research in response to the needs ofArts et Métiers partners Arts et Métiers These include the impact of manufacturing processes and microstructure on fatigue durability (e.g., casting, forging, machining, and, increasingly, additive manufacturing); environmental effects (steam and liquid environments); filled polymers; local or multiscale approaches to multiaxial fatigue; and very long-life fatigue.

The teams in this network develop complementary scientific strategies and collaborate on numerous projects within the framework of industrial partnerships (direct contracts, FUI, ANR, Region, etc.) with the aim of understanding physical phenomena and proposing numerical models for structural design. The RNC Fatigue network enables complex issues requiring transdisciplinary skills to be addressed.

The integration of environmental considerations into industrial concerns is now essential. To contribute to this, the RNC Sustainable Engineering focuses on four areas of research.

The first, product-oriented, is dedicated to eco-design: integrating environmental impacts into product design; considering the life cycle, multi-criteria decision-making and evaluation; defining eco-indicators and using them in the design process. The second and third areas, which complement the first, concern clean manufacturing processes and recycling (in terms of materials and sectors) respectively. The fourth and final area, Sustainable Housing, addresses the challenges of reducing energy consumption in buildings, as well as material issues, in a context of climate change and evolving responses to sustainable construction solutions.

The RNC has established itself as the preferred partner of several industrial groups, particularly in the automotive and aerospace sectors. It works closely with recycling stakeholders. Twelve researchers and engineers from five laboratories are currently involved: I2M, LCFC, LCPI, LISPEN , and PIMM. Links have been established with otherArts et Métiers  networksArts et Métiers  Fluid Flow, Energy, Environment, and Digital Design and Engineering and Interactions.

Using cutting-edge tools in several techniques (selective laser melting or direct metal deposition), the RNC is dedicated to additive manufacturing. This is an innovative technology that allows parts to be manufactured from thin layers of powdered materials (metal, polymer, ceramic, etc.).
The research teams are focusing their work in several areas: optimizing additive manufacturing processes; physically analyzing the interactions between the laser and the powder; studying the microstructural and mechanical properties of the parts produced; and developing methods for designing and manufacturing new, innovative microstructures.

There are several possible fields of application in R&D for many industries (transport, energy, biomedicine, etc.): in the field of lasers, this could involve welding automotive parts or laser shock processing of aeronautical structures. Additive manufacturing is particularly interesting for prostheses and implants. One flagship project, bringing together several disciplines and laboratories at the school, is the FAIR project, led by Air Liquide, which aims to optimize the microstructures of exchangers to increase specific surface areas and process efficiency and to ensure their manufacture and the control of the parts obtained.

Seven laboratories, spread across five campuses, are involved in additive manufacturing research: I2M, LAMPA, IBHGC, LCFC, LCPI, LISPEN, and PIMM.
