About
Mathias Legrand serves as an Associate Professor at McGill University, based in Room 160 of the Macdonald Engineering Building. His contact details include email mathias.legrand@mcgill.ca and phone 514-398-5321. He instructs MECH 309 (Numerical Methods in Mechanical Engineering) and MECH 546 (FEM in Solid Mechanics).
His educational credentials feature a Ph.D. and M.Eng. from École Centrale de Nantes, France.
Professor Legrand's research centers on Vibrations, Acoustics, and Fluid-Structure Interaction, with current projects examining nonsmooth vibrations in flexible structures, reduced-order modeling for nonlinear dynamics, stability analysis of non-smooth systems, and time-marching techniques for large-scale engineering problems. His work specifically addresses unilateral contact and friction phenomena in aircraft/helicopter engines through both theoretical frameworks and industrial applications.
He directs the Structural Dynamics and Vibration Laboratory, which develops computational methods for solving complex vibration challenges in mechanical systems.
