Laboratoire de Mécanique des Contacts et des Structures - LaMCoS
Director : Daniel NELIAS
Joint Research Unit of INSA Lyon and CNRS, LaMCoS carries out research on understanding and controlling the behavior of mechanical structures and systems by studying their interfaces.
We innovate to improve understanding of fundamental phenomena to anticipate major societal challenges and respond to technological problems in the fields of Transport, Energy and Health. The work carried out in the laboratory is characterized by a very strong correlation between experimentation and modeling, multiphysical and multiscale approaches, as well as as developments of advanced methods in experimentation and numerical simulation.
