Materials Mechanics and Metallurgy
In the MECAMETA area, we are seeking to gain a better understanding of the mechanical behaviour of metallic materials and to develop new materials. To achieve this, our work focuses on the intersection of scales (nano, micro, macro) using both numerical and experimental approaches.
