In the research field structural optimization, computational tools are developed to make it possible to find optimal load carrying structures automatically.

Johan Moverare and his research group are now going inside additively manufactured materials. Microstructure, strength, durability, and more will be studied in detail for an industrial revolution dreaming of the material coming up to standard.

The aim of the project is developing and using computational design methods for design of gas turbine components. The project is a collaboration with Siemens Energy AB.

What can be done to protect metallic components operating at high temperatures? how can we increase the fatigue resistance of structural components? Surface modification for better performance and durability is the main focus of our research.

A team of qualified test engineers and material testers perform wide-range of mechanical tests. We can offer mechanical testing, X-ray diffraction, heat treatment, materials characterisation and phase diagram simulation.

The knowledge gained in this project will be used for better understanding fatigue failures in a gas turbines and enhancing the performance of the turbine from a machining point of view.

Advanced Functional Materials, AFM, is an interdisciplinary research environment conducting studies in advanced functional materials. The initiative is based on a government investment with strategic research areas as its foundation.

High Temperature Mechanics focus on load-carrying components in designs working at high, or very high, temperatures, primarily toward gas turbine applications.

3D-printing will have a huge impact on the manufacturing industry in the years to come, and a better understanding of the material properties of AM manufactured parts is vital to fully utilize the potential of this fairly new technology.

Through evaluation and verification in strength, rigidity, durability and damage tolerance, the aeronautical research aims to provide novel knowledge in the structural integrity of air vehicles.
