INDUSTRIAL, MECHANICAL, MATERIALS ENGINEERING FEDERATION : GI2M

The scientific objective of the LPMM is to study the different aspects of the mechanics of solids, from the microstructure scale of the material up to that of the calculation of structures and manufacturing processes. The works concern for the most part metallic materials. The loads under extreme conditions (of speed, temperature, deformation) are particularly considered.

 

In several domains, the LPMM is in the best teams on the international level : plastic and thermoplastic instabilities, martensitic transformation, deformation mechanisms at mobile borders, high-speed machining, buckling of structures, dynamic characterization of the behaviour of materials, microengineering modelling...

 

Founded in 1982, the Laboratory of Physics and Mechanics of Materials is associated to the CNRS since 1986. It has the status of Mixed Research Unit (UMR 7554) since 1997. The LPMM has the particularity of being common to Paul Verlaine University of Metz (ENIM), the National School of Arts and Professions (ENSAM) and the National Polytechnic Institute of Lorraine (INPL).
