Access conditions

Services provided by our experts

FEMTO Engineering takes care of the entire process: analysis and studies, tests, diagnosis, simulations and prototyping.

Development of test protocols

FEMTO Engineering develops and optimizes static and dynamic mechanical tests, tailored to your needs and constraints (traction, torsion, pressure, bending, vibration, thermal cycles...). The center also offers the design and manufacture of measuring devices: sensors on request (vibrometry, acoustic pressure), acquisition boxes and custom-made signal generators.

Devices

Mechanical characterization

Mechanical testing machines (traction-torsion-internal pressure) for static, cyclic and DMA (dynamic mechanical analysis) tests in a controlled environment, and various associated instrumentations (LVDT, gauges, extensometers, thermal camera, fast cameras, acoustic emission...)

Essais vibratoires et acoustiques

Vibrating table, shock hammer and accelerometric, acoustic and by 1D and 3D scanning laser vibrometry measurements, and advanced software.

Performance and capacity

Structure vibrations and vibroacoustic

Analysis and diagnosis of vibroacoustic behavior (tests and calculations), and development of passive or active solutions for vibration reduction.

Multi-scale mechanical tests

Determination of the mechanical properties of materials, endurance tests, environmental behavior, development of jigs to carry out tests on specimens with specific geometries (tubular, annular, etc.) and on structures.
