FOCUS
Collaboration with industrial partners is essential for the team's research work; analyzes of operational accidents and failure mechanisms identification are the motivation for the new material and technological solutions development.
As for automotive applications, the new method of non-destructive identification of localized deformation up to the depletion of plasticity is searched. The development of intentionally heterogeneous functional surfaces for contact-fatigue loading is the subject of research towards to railway application.
Research work is reflected in the materials engineering teaching programmes. The theoretical background of inner structure and the physical principles of the mechanical response of materials are involved in the bachelor's and master's study programs; the limited states of material are introduced in the doctoral study program Transportation Means and Infrastructure. Dissertation theses are related to currently solved research projects, doctoral students thus become members of the research team.
