I notice on this site they give

vieillissement = rutting

Anyway, not my field at all, so just trying to help :-)

LABORATOIRE
> ROUE DE VIEILLISSEMENT :
Ce matériel est constitué d’une roue sur
laquelle des échantillons de bois sont fixés
afin de réaliser un test d’une durée de 6
semaines. Il permet un vieillissement accé-
léré qui correspond à deux ans d’une
exposition en extérieur. C’est l’occasion
d’effectuer des tests comparatifs aussi bien
sur des produits que sur des conditions de
mise en œuvre différentes.Cela permet de
valider des solutions d’améliorations

a wheel to which samples/pieces of wood are fixed in order to age them (for a period of 6 weeks)..

Long-winded, but maybe you can find something more succinct in English now:-)
