Key facilities and resources: StaDy (Statics and Dynamics)

StaDy is a test platform that gives laboratories the means to carry out any experiments in mechanics, offering dynamic test benches, as well as pressure, displacement, force, temperature and deformation sensors. This platform is currently investigating the development of joint tests combining mechanics with other branches of physics such as thermal science, magnetism and fluid-solid interactions. The facility also aims to scale down, both in terms of the size of the samples studied—from centimeters to nanometers—and of the forces applied to them.
