Electronics department (Joint ressources)

The workshop is responsible for designing, producing and maintaining our instruments. The areas concerned are electronics, electronic engineering, automation and the IT required for instrument use. A list of examples can be found below:

  • High-speed cyclic loading bench enabling in-situ polymer diffraction-diffusion on polymers
  • Image furnace for X-ray tomography
  • Thermoregulated rotary stage for the environmental scanning electron microscope(ESEM)
  • High temperature contraction-compression stages (1200°C) also for the ESEM

Service Mechanics department (Joint ressources + teaching teams/department)

The mechanics department ensures the maintenance of the mechanical testing machines.  A list of examples can be found below:

  •  Producing the components for all mechanical equipment used by the laboratory’s research teams and for the GMC and SGM department work platforms.           
  • Managing the MSD (Materials, Structure and Durability) practical work and the SGM department’s equipment comprising around 15 machines (traction, creep, fatigue, hardness, quenching, thermal shock etc.)
