The laboratory analyses structure, material, contact and process behaviours, thanks to multi-scale experimentation, multi-physical models and numerical simulations so as to optimize their performance and predict their shelf life. To do so, it relies on unique skills in :

 Tribology

 Nanomechanics and surface physico-chemistry

 Non-linear dynamics

 High and medium frequency vibro-acoustics

 Contact fatigue and durability

 Continuous and discrete mechanical modelling
 Numerical and experimental mechanics
 

The LTDS carries out on behalf of the industry and the academic community
 :
 
 Expertise, analysis, advice.
 Development of specific characterization tools.
 Technical assistance in project development.
 Professional and continuous training, inter-company or tailor-made.
