Focusing on meaningful innovation

    • Platforms

    The Lab­o­ra­to­ry’s exper­i­men­tal and numer­i­cal resources con­sti­tute one of its strengths and pro­vide unde­ni­able sup­port for the teams » research activ­i­ties. These resources, grouped around plat­forms, have been sig­nif­i­cant­ly devel­oped in recent years through suc­ces­sive State-Region Plan Con­tracts, Mul­ti-Train­ing Plans, research projects and the Unit’s own budget.

    The ACOUMA platform

    The ACOUMA plat­form (Mul­ti-modal Aero-Acoustics) pro­vides advanced flow bench­es designed for the mul­ti-modal acoustic char­ac­ter­i­sa­tion for dis­si­pa­tive or gen­er­at­ing ele­ments, com­bin­ing a com­plete mea­sure­ment environment

    The AVITHERM platform

    The AVITHERM plat­form (Ther­mal analy­sis and mate­r­i­al age­ing) offers advanced exper­i­men­tal resources for the ther­mal analy­sis and age­ing of mate­ri­als under con­trolled envi­ron­men­tal con­di­tions. Under­stand­ing age­ing mech­a­nisms is crit­i­cal not only for iden­ti­fy­ing poten­tial fail­ure modes, but also for eval­u­at­ing long-term per­for­mance and for esti­mat­ing the struc­tur­al health of materials

    The CARAMEL platform

    The CARAMEL plat­form (Char­ac­ter­i­sa­tion of High Speed Elec­tric Machines) is a test­ing facil­i­ty for high-speed elec­tric machines oper­at­ing at 40 000 rpm with a pow­er out­put of up to 25 kW (with the pos­si­bil­i­ty of extend­ing this to 50 kW). The wider use of elec­tric machines requires an increase in their ener­gy effi­cien­cy. The CARAMEL plat­form is part of this dynam­ic by offer­ing ‘high-speed’ test­ing facil­i­ties, com­bined with pre­ci­sion ener­gy mea­sure­ment instrumentation.
