Research area:
Analytical and numerical modelling of the effective elastic and thermal constants of metal-ceramic interpenetrating phase composites (IPC) taking into account real (non-simplified) microstructure of the material.
Numerical determination of the J-integral and fracture toughness for metal-ceramic composites, in particular IPC, with account of the crack toughening mechanisms and material microstructure modeled by FEM based on micro-tomography images.
Research tasks in European projects funded under Framework Programmes and EU Structural Funds such as KMM-NoE (6FP), KomCerMet (POIG1.3) - determination of the effective elastic and thermal constants, deformation and fracture of IPC composites - analytical models and numerical implementation; MATRANS (7FP) -modelling of the effective material constants, deformation response and fracture of functionally graded composites under service conditions in transport applications.
