Team of Strength of Materials and Structures

Description
The research activities of the team focuses on issues related to the strength of materials and structures and particulary concerns the following areas: - development of analytical, numerical and experimental methods for determining loads and stresses in mechanical structures; - experimental and theoretical analysis of the mechanical properties of materials and structural elements; - identification of mechanisms detemining the mechanical properties of materials, including biogenic structures and selected metals in cryogenic conditions; - assessment of strength and prediction of fatigue life of materials and structural elements; - experimental investigation and prediction of fatigue cracks in metals.
