Team of Strength of Materials
Scientific profile:
The Team of Strength of Materials at the Department of Solid Mechanics, Lublin University of Technology, conducts research on modern multi-phase materials used to solve contemporary engineering problems and multi-scale modeling of the behavior of composite materials and engineering structures under mechanical loads (monotonic, cyclic, dynamic loads) and thermal loads. Micro-, mesomechanical and phenomenological models of materials are being developed.
In particular, research works include:
- description of the behavior of brittle materials (e.g. concrete, ceramics) with an initial internal structure (porosity, grain texture, inter-grain boundaries),
-modeling the behavior of composite materials built on a brittle matrix (reinforced concrete, ceramic composites), polymer (polyester and vinyl ester resins) and metallic (WC / Co) matrix,
-modeling the processes of damage and cracking of multifunctional construction materials,
-development of cracks under the influence of thermal shocks (e.g. in the Al2O3 / Al composite),
-modeling the behavior of elastic-plastic materials
- dynamic problems in plasticity theory,
- constitutive equations for elastic-plastic bodies in the range of large deformations,
-experimental studies of the behavior of modern construction materials under mechanical and thermal loads
-concepts for the production of new multi-phase composite materials used in building, mechanical and aviation structures
- theories of degradation of composite materials, taking into account the internal structure resulting from production processes
-modern connections of structural elements taking into account the use of various joining techniques and degradation processes,
-new test stands for experimental verification of formulated models of composite materials in complex loading conditions.
