France-Japan CREST Workshop on Nanomechanics, Multiscale Mechanics and Tribology

 

 

From November, 13th to 15th, 2024

Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France

 

Introduction

The goal of this workshop is to gather Japanese and French researchers for presentations and discussion during 3 days in a casual atmosphere on the campus of Ecole Centrale de Lyon, to bridge the scale gaps in contact mechanics and tribology. It also aims at promoting and helping researchers to foster future joint collaborative projects.

 

Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and the French National Research Agency (ANR, Agence Nationale de la Recherche) concluded a Framework Agreement in December 2017, to fund joint research projects conducted by Japanese and French partners within the framework of the JST-CREST program. For instance, a successful example of these joint research projects, the project FRIISE, focuses on the multiscale elucidation of friction mechanisms in ice rubber interfaces, in collaboration with Tohoku University, Keio University and LTDS-CNRS UMR 5513, Ecole Centrale de Lyon, based on the multiscale analysis of the sliding ice rubber interface, coupling experiments and numerical simulations.
