FEMTO Engineering is an R&D center of the foundation FC Innov

From science to society

Mechanics

Design and characterize reliable and efficient mechanical systems.

FEMTO Engineering offers support in characterization, analysis and mechanical design for the development of industrial systems, materials and processes.

Our services include:

  • mechanical, vibratory, and vibroacoustic characterization;
  • experimental tests and data analysis;
  • diagnosis of mechanical and dynamic behavior;
  • numerical modeling and calculation/test correlation;
  • assistance with the design, prototyping, and validation of technical solutions.

We particularly intervene at the interface between applied research and industrial constraints.

For what needs?

Vibratory and acoustic mechanics

Understand the origin of a problematic vibratory, acoustic or mechanical behavior and use of the vibratory behavior for diagnosis.

Materials and behaviors

Multi-scale characterization of the mechanical behavior of a material or a system.

Comparison of technical solutions

Compare several technical solutions or design configurations.

Test protocol

Set up a test protocol adapted to an industrial issue.

Digital models

Correlate experimental measurements with numerical models.

Demonstrator, prototype, or control method

Develop or pre-validate a demonstrator, prototype or control method.

Manufacturing and performance

Evaluate the influence of manufacturing parameters on mechanical performance.

Our services

Mechanical characterization

Measurements and analysis of the mechanical behavior of materials and systems, results report.

Consulting and feasibility study

Needs analysis, technical feasibility assessment, recommendations on appropriate materials and processes.
