What happens when a crack propagates in a material? What path does the crack take? How fast does it spread? This state-of-the-art, custom-made camera from the United States will allow the GeM teams to conduct their research experiments with pinpoint accuracy:
This high-tech camera completes the equipment in the Dynamic and Static Test Centre. It was acquired as part of the ConnectTalents IDS project led by Julien RÉTHORÉ, recipient of the CNRS Bronze Medal in 2011 and Senior Researcher based in the Modeling and Simulation team in the GeM at Centrale Nantes since 2016.
- 4 million images/second
- 80 eight-mega-pixel images
- 100 000 rpm for the internal helium-powered motor
