History
The french GRECO "large deformations and
damage" as well as the GIS "hot rupture" and "forming"
have worked from 1981 to 1987. These groupments were exchange and
meeting spots where a very well defined research axis was studied and
examined by different specialists (physicists, mechanicians,
numericians, mathematicians) from the academics as well as from the
industry. An actual scientific community has thus formed around these
themes which didn't want to die at the end of the funding of the
above mentionned groupments so mecamat was created in 1987 as a
structure for these exchanges, as a help for the organisation of
congresses and meetings.
being an exchange forum.
playing a leading role in renewing the the french school in MÉCAnics of MATerials.
willing to closely associate fundamental and industrial studies.
organising the research, by means of working groups including complementary researchers on themes such as : microstructure, damage, thermomecanical coupled effects, behaviour, numerical simulations, new materials, polymers, interfaces.
Being an exchange center for scintific information diffusion.
Education young peoplec (Aussois meeting and working groups).
a national workshop (in Aussois every january). This is the thematical workshop for the people in the association (lectures) with a wide space for PhD students posters.
Summer or autumn schools (about polymer mechanics, damage)
international seminars : EUROMECH - MECAMAT conferences with joined organisesr from mechamat and euromech.
The Gazette MECAMAT-Infos is the 'paper link' between the members of Mecamat.
The Emailing list MECAMAT helps for fast exchanges of information.
