Background

About Vincent Gauthier

Modal analysis of lutherie guitars, dynamic mechanical study of wood plates set into long-term vibrations, or viscoelastic characterization of cosmetic products and their effects on skin behavior. At first glance, it can be quite hard to understand what links all this subjects. Actually, the commun thread is related to the ambition of substantiating human perceptions and marketing claims resorting to instrumentation with experimental set-up using wave propagation. Collect data, select relevant quantities and find the physical signature of phenomena we perceived, this is the approach which leads all the projects I am intersted in, even more when they offer tools to craftsmen and instustrials to help them optimize their products.
