Mechanical testing on composite materials

Composite materials are known for their ability to make structures lighter and are valued in aeronautics, the naval industrynautical sports, etc. They are used for manufacturing strategic parts and must demonstrate resistance to intense mechanical stress.

We know that securing the mechanical behavior of your innovative materials and assemblies is crucial. We specialize in multiple-property mechanical testing (mechanical, thermal, hygrometry, etc.) and custom create robust economic test fixtures.

Our testing services in Nantes and Saint-Nazaire

Our R&D engineers are intent on applying their scientific rigor in conducting your standardized or complex tests.
Their objective is to approve the strength of your composite parts and prototypes, even in extreme conditions. Our service is complete, from defining test specifications to interpreting results.

Static strength tests

Entrusting a local laboratory with your standardized static or custom-developed tests.

Fatigue tests

Fatigue characterization of your composite materials. Determining your parts’ lifetime behavior and damage tolerance.

Complex tests in an aggressive environment

Determining composite materials’ strength when exposed to an aggressive environment: immersion, intense heat or humidity, UV exposure, etc.

Custom test benches

Designing custom test benches that are adapted to your composite structures, from centimeter-sized samples to parts that are several meters long.

Aging tests

We provide you with reliable accelerated aging data to approve models that can predict your composites’ behavior.

Fatigue and additive manufacturing

Using appropriate static and dynamic characterizations to determine the durability and reliability of your additively manufactured parts.

Composite assembly fatigue

Identifying fatigue resistance of welded, glued, bolted/screwed, or multi-material assemblies, in order to reduce residual stresses more effectively.
