Main interest areas of Deformable Media Engineering Research Group are focused on:

Design and material science:

- Deformation behaviour of new material classes: nanomaterials; biomaterials; superalloys, shape memory alloys; materials exhibit atypical plasticity; etc;

- Thermo-mechanical processing of materials: plastic deformation technologies (rolling; drawing; extrusion; forging; close-die forging); Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) processing (ARB- Accumulative Roll Bonding;  ECAP/ECAE – Equi Channel Angular Pressing/Extrusion; HPT – High Pressure Torsion); etc;

- Product: medical products (dental implants; orthopaedic implants; spinal implants; etc;); rolled, forged, extruded products; etc;

 Materials testing:

- Methods and procedures for materials testing;

- Structural investigations;

- Hardness/microhardness measurements;

- Mechanical properties in tensile, compression, bending tests;

- Deformability and fracture mechanics investigations;

- In-situ microdeformation investigations;

- etc.
