Research Activities
Through a number of european, national and under bilateral agreement projects (see hereunder with) dealing with the following areas of research:
• Manufacturing processes (rolling, forging, extrusion, sheet metal forming, metal removal
processing, welding, casting, explosive cladding).
• Precision and ultra precision manufacturing. Nanotechnology.
• Powder processing of metals, ceramics and advanced high-Tc superconducting materials.
• Structural plasticity pertaining to the crashworthy deformation of thin-wall structures of metal,
polymers, composites and bi-materials for the application in the automotive, rail and aircraft
industry.
• Numerical modelling and simulation (FEM) of processing and constitutive behaviour of
materials. Theoretical aspects of plasticity and stress wave propagation.
• Manufacturing automation. Advanced Manufacturing.
