Bio/Research
Laliberte's research focuses on novel aircraft structures, composite materials and hybrids and next generation air vehicle concepts (e.g. UAVs and MAVs).
He has workded on projects involving on fibre metal laminate (FML) processing, micro aerial vehicle (MAV) structures and the qualification of primary composite airframe structures.
From 2001 to 2008, he was a Research Officer with the Structures Group and then the Composites and Novel Airframe Materials (CANAM) Group of the National Research Council Institute for Aerospace Research (NRC-IAR). During this time, he had the opportunity to lead the Composites Team within the CANAM Group and continued his research on FMLs, conceiving and leading an in-house project entitled Advanced Processing for FMLs in which we developed improved processing methods to reduce residual stresses in the laminates to improve fatigue life. His colleagues on this project also worked on the development of new non-destructive inspection methods and an improved fracture mechanics model for FMLs. He also led or co-led several large projects on next generation composite primary structures for aircraft with a number of Canadian OEMs including the Bonded Wing Survivabilty Demonstration with Bell Helicopter Textron, DRDC-Valcartier, Concordia, Ecole Polytechnique, IAR-AMTC, TPC, CRIAQ and Pratt and Whitney Canada.
His other main activity area was the study of uninhabited aerial vehicle (UAV) structures. This has included work on full size vehicles and also on biomimetic structures for MAVs with Dr. Marcias Martinez (NRC), Prof. Jeff Dawson (Carleton) and Ms. Katharina Schnackenburg.
From 1998 to 2001 I was a guest worker at the NRC-IAR while I completed my PhD work and supported other activities mainly with Bombardier Aerospace on the testing and qualification of hybrid fibre metal laminates (FMLs). My doctoral research was on the experimental and numerical investigation of low-velocity impact damage in fibre-metal laminates (FMLs).
In 2005-2007, He served on the organizing committe for the Inagural UVS Canada Student UAV Compeition. He was Local Organizing Committee Co-Chair with Laura Petrescue for the 4th Canadian-International Composites Conference (CANCOM 2003) held in Ottawa in August 2003. He was also a conference volunteer for CANCOM 2001 in Montreal. Over the years, he has served as a session developer for a number of other CANCOM and CASI conferences. From 2006 to 2008, he was the Canadian Air Force representative on The Technical Cooperation Program (TTCP) Polymer Composites Panel (MAT-TP-7).
Research
Composite and hybrid (e.g. fibre metal laminates) manufacturing and processing, mechanical properties of composite and hybrid materials; bonded and bolted composite structures; aircraft design; uninhabited aerial vehicle (UAV) and micro-aerial vehicle (MAV) design; application of finite element analysis to assess impact damage in fibre metal laminates and composites; biologically inspired and bio-mimetic structures and materials for aerospace applications.
