I2M regroupe des équipes relatives aux nombreuses facettes de la recherche en mécanique sur Bordeaux. Cette recherche, même si elle peut être amont et très spécifique, n’est pas dissociable des métiers et des préoccupations des formations d’ingénieur.
Notre objectif est d’explorer des mosaïques de petits mécanismes pour concevoir les grandes machines de demain.

I2M : Institute of Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering of Bordeaux.
I2M Institute includes a large range of topics related to research fields in mechanical engineering on the campus of the University of Bordeaux, France. Although the topics are of fundamental nature, they cannot be separated from the applications as well as from training activities.
The aim of our Unit is to investigate a mosaic of mechanisms at the low scales in order to design the future of the mechanical engines.

  New analytical model for delamination of CFRP during drilling 

  GIROT, Franck; DAU, Frederic; GUTIERREZ-ORRANTIA, Esther (ELSEVIER, 2016-10-06)

  Drilling of composite material structure is a widely used process in aeronautical assembly due to itsbest manufacturing value (ratio quality/cost). However, delamination which can be generated at the holeexit is still a ...

  Imperfection-sensitive ductility of aluminium thin films 

  COULOMBIER, Marc; BOE, Alexandre; BRUGGER, Charles; RASKIN, Jean.Pierre; PARDOEN, Therry (ELSEVIER, 2010-02-01)

  Ductility, defined as the strain at the onset of necking, has been characterized in thin Al films using an on-chip, internal stress actuated, microtensile testing setup. In the smallest specimens, the ductility is equal ...
