Biomechanics and Impact Mechanics Laboratory
| INRETS-UCBL - BRON (UMR-T 9406 INRETS/UCBL)  25, Avenue François Mitterrand Head of unit : Philippe Vezin Biomechanics and Impact Mechanics Laboratory is a joint research unit of INRETS and Claude Bernard – Lyon1 University. The general objective of the research activity of LBMC is to acquire and capitalize biomechanical knowledge on the structure and the behaviour of the human body in order to develop numerical models to be used in various application domains such as:
In these different domains, it is more and more called for evaluation tools or prediction tools based on numerical models of the whole human body or of body parts. These models are built with the finite element method or the multibody. While each application domain requires specific data to collect, there is a common core of knowledge that can be used by all teams and the effort to collect and consolidate the data can be shared by several teams. This knowledge concern the external and internal geometry of the human body, the material properties of biological tissues, the damaging mechanisms of tissues under static and dynamic loading, the control of movement and the variety of all these characteristics among the target populations
The "SimBio-M" conference organised jointly by Cranfield University, (School of Applied Sciences, School of Health, Cranfield Defence and Security) and INRETS-Université de la Méditerranée (Faculté de Médecine), to be held 1-3 July 2009 in Juan Les Pins, France. |
