Within the framework of ANR MAX-OASIS (ENS Paris Saclay / UPEM / Arts et Métiers Institute of Technology / CNAM / CNRS / Sorbonne-University), a new type of test machine is hosted at the PIMM. This testing machine has been developed during a recent PhD thesis and is based on the principle of numerical homogenization by Kinematic Uniform Boundary Condition. Here it as adapted to fit in an experimental framework. This innovative testing machine allows the realization of homogenization tests, at least at the first gradient, as well as the direct determination of invariants for a given material in an experimental setting. The device aims to be a new tool for the characterization of architectured materials.

 

Machine development: T. Dassonville (Doc. LMT), M. Poncelet (MCF LMT), M. Wangermez (Post-doc. LMT), N. Aufffray (MCF MSME).

 

PIMM member: J. Dirrenberger
