RESEACH PROJECTS

 

Contrubution to over 25 research projects from the EU and/or General Secretariat of Research and Technology (GGET), as a scientific responsible or main investigator. These projects concerned with aeronautics, trains, composite materials, acoustic analysis of gear-boxes, cracks in aluminium specimens, packaging, biomechanics, natural gas pipe design, refineries, e.t.c. Between these projects, we select the following:
