Scientific and research offer
The Department of Aerospace Engineering can provide services and conduct research in the following areas of science:
- Scanning spatial elements and creating their numerical models (using the ATOS white light scanner) with processing to CAD formats (IGES / STEP)
- Conducting research related to digital image correlation (using the ARAMIS system)
- Determination of the deformation distribution in elements made of or covered with a material with birefringent properties (using the Vishay elasto-optic test kit)
- Determination of impact toughness using the Charpy method (taking into account the influence of temperature on the impact toughness)
- Rockwell, Brinell and Vickers hardness measurement
