Engineering office in mechanical R&D
Static, dynamic and impact material testing and digital simulation
The MATandSIM company headed by Arnaud Penin is based in France, precisely in Ploemeur near Lorient (56) in Brittany.
We are a mechanical engineering laboratory offering material testing system development, FEA modelling and test execution. Thanks to our long experience in the processing of tests, we offer the analysis of results about the characterisation of structures and materials in order to have, for example, the required material characteristics for modelling purposes or for the certification of your products.

Research & Innovation
The research and engineering department offers its expertise in the development and manufacture of material testing system and the analysis of mechanical tests, from the simplest to the most complex, such as the role of the strain speed, the study of fracture or the anisotropy of materials. All these characterisations can be performed at cryogenic temperature up to 300°C.
We work in close partnership with the University of Southern Brittany based in Lorient.
We carry out our work for France and Europe (Belgium, Germany, Switzerland...)
Nous avons testé un nouveau matériau avec une limite d'élasticité élevée de 1050 MPa. Nous avons obtenu la rupture du matériau en appliquant une pression de 200 bars sur l'éprouvette. L'ensemble du test a été un grand succès.
Les caractéristiques de l'échantillon sont les suivantes :
- Référence de l'acier : HR1050
- Epaisseur : 1mm
- Limite d'élasticité : 1 050 MPa
La prochaine étape consiste à réaliser un essai avec un matériau dont la limite d'élasticité atteint 1 500 MPa.
