Core Facilities
Model Materials and Structures
A platform dedicated to the manufacturing and characterization of model materials to better understand the mechanisms underlying processing techniques. It brings together experimental devices covering powder metallurgy, microwave sintering, resin infusion, structural (bio-)composites, model metals and alloys, functional nanocomposites, and surface treatments.
Mechanical Testing and Instrumentation
The Computer Science and Numerical Simulations (ISN) platform centralizes the computing and modeling resources of the SMS center to facilitate the study of materials and processes: it provides a high-performance computing cluster (parallel computing and GPU), pre/post-processing and remote visualization tools, simulation capabilities in mechanics, materials, and multiphysics couplings, as well as data processing and artificial intelligence resources, constituting an advanced modeling environment serving innovation in materials science.
Model Alloy Fabrication (Fab-Al)
Grégoire
A platform dedicated to the development of model alloys with controlled composition, as well as their shaping through thermomechanical treatments. It enables the production of ingots for research and services, with precise monitoring of chemical compositions throughout the development process.
