# Analysis of a glue adhesion defect after vibration tests in the laboratory

## Sécuriser la tenue des assemblages collés soumis aux vibrations en laboratoire

Embedded systems, electronic boards, optronics, and mechanical subassemblies are frequently subjected to **vibration testing** or harsh operating conditions.

Adhesives play a critical role in **the cohesion of assemblies and their mechanical strength**.

A lack of adhesion can cause:

- Component detachment or misalignment
- Loss of function or performance degradation
- Premature failure in service

 Materials expertise becomes a strategic lever to identify the root cause and ensure the reliability of systems.
## En tant qu'industriels de la Défense, nous connaissons vos besoins

Manufacturers rely on materials expertise when they need to understand the cause of adhesion failures after vibration testing:

- [Verifying the compatibility between adhesives](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/chemical-analysis-laboratory/laboratory-analysis-industrial-adhesive.md),
- Substrates, and surface treatments,
- [Evaluating and understanding adhesive aging.](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/laboratory-material-testing/filab-accelerated-ageing-test-laboratory/)

These investigations also allow for the analysis of the impact of vibrations and environmental stresses on assemblies, while enabling rapid intervention on critical components without causing damage.

**The goal is to prevent or understand [failures and ensure material](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-expertise-services/laboratory-analysis-failures.md) performance.**
