Based
at the Angoulême IUT in research dedicated premises,
7 IUT research lecturers and six post-graduates make
up the Solids Mechanics Laboratory (LMS) "Structures
& Interfaces" team at the University of Poitiers
(UMR CNRS). They study lubricated links and the behaviour
of solids in hard contact mechanisms. More specifically,
the team investigates problems inherent to heat motor
links (connecting rods - crankshaft, crankshaft - motor
) as well as contact problems, elastohydrodynamic
(EHD) contacts and wear problems. Specific experimental
mechanisms and software are used to model these situations.

These
research activities have borne fruit in the form of
contracts signed with major industrial groups and, academically,
as doctorate theses (11 presented) and a scientific
output published in national and international reviews.
