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