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

From science to society

Multi-scale mechanical tests

Mechanical characterizations (from micrometer to macro):

    • Identification of mechanical properties of the materials:
        • Static

        • Dynamic

    • Endurance tests

    • Environmental behaviour environnemental

    • Determination of glass transition

    • Development of installations to carry out tests on specimens with specific geometries (tubular, annular, etc.), and structures

  • Traction/compression tests
  • 3- and 4-point bending tests
  • Torsion tests
  • Dynamic Mechanical Analysis Tests (DMA)
  • Creep tests
  • Traction/torsion combination
  • Nano-indentation tests
  • Fatigue tests (Wöhler curve)
  • Nanoindentation

Monitoring by acoustic emission and infrared camera.

Materials :

  • Metallic
  • Composite (carbon, bio-based, glass,...)
  • Polymer
  • Elastomer
