Mechanical and thermal testing

Mooring lines are essential components for the stability of offshore floating structures, such as those supporting wind turbines. They often consist of steel spiral ropes linked by a chain to the platform (also known as the “floater”). New solutions are currently being studied, in which the rope is directly connected to the floater, thereby removing the need for the chain - which has proved to be a mechanical weak point - and simplifying the connection...

The thermal management of electric motors is an essential element in competitive low-carbon mobility, since more efficient cooling not only increases motor performance density (power or torque by mass), but also improves operational reliability by preventing deterioration phenomena (such as demagnetization)...

Anchor lines, the majority of which are carbon steel cables, are essential components for the stability of offshore floating structures, such as those supporting wind turbines. To overcome the risk of breakage during service, redundant lines are generally incorporated at the design stage, which adds significantly to the cost...
