Details
The Laboratory of Technology and Strength of Material (LTSM) is part of the Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering Department of the University of Patras. LTSM educates undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of materials science and technology and analysis and strength of structural components and structures. The laboratory conducts fundamental and technological state-of-the art research. Finally, the laboratory provides specialized services related to the characterization of materials technological properties and mechanical behaviour, as well as their technical certification. Furthermore, Laboratory provides services in resolving technical issues concerning phase analysis, strength evaluation and design of structural components and structures, as well as the analysis of structural failures. LTSM has participated in over 100 EU-funded research projects.

Strategic Focus
Strategic Priorities: Experimental investigation of the mechanical behaviour of materials. Simulation of the mechanical behaviour of composite materials and structures (static, fatigue, impact). Multi-scale modelling. Composite components process and product optimization. Self-healing and energy harvesting multi-functional materials. Bio-composites. Metallic materials mechanical behaviour, corrosion. Modern manufacturing techniques simulation and optimization (AM, FSW, LBW, ISF). Adhesive, bolted & hybrid joints. Nano-crystalline thermodynamically stable alloys. Structural health monitoring. Life-cycle assessment
Looking for Partnerships: Entities interested in ESA calls for innovative engineering concepts on the field of space materials, new H2020 calls, as well as cooperation in developing new materials, structures and processes to be used in space applications.
