Tests: Unique Platforms in France

Axelium offers manufacturers a unique ability to mobilize the most advanced test platforms.

In addition to engineering and numerical simulation operations, Axelium has organised a team of test specialists to speed up the validation of your concepts and develop your redesign and multiphysics optimisation capacity:

• PASSIVE SAFETY: Crash/Rapid dynamics
• MECHANICAL RESISTANCE : Quasi-static tests, endurance/fatigue, impacts
• COMFORT: Combined acoustic or climatic vibration tests
• ACTIVE SAFETY: Braking and Aerodynamics (Wind tunnel)
• AGGRAVATED TESTS: Halt & Hass method
• TEST CUSTOMISATION: onboard measurements, definition of stress profiles, instrumentation with strain gauges, etc.
