Applied Mechanics and Corrosion
Department of Applied Mechanics and Corrosion focus on characterisation and reliable use of materials under demanding conditions.
Our most important customers are; material producers, offshore (incl. manufacturing) industry and automotive industry
Competence
- crashworthiness of light-weight automotive structures
- limit states for strain based design of pipelines (fracture mechanics approach),
- degradation mechanisms altering component/structure integrity over life-time (fatigue, corrosion-fatigue, hydrogen embrittlement, stress-corrosion, high-temperature corrosion, erosion)
- corrosion protection (cathodic protection, coating)
- welding technology (incl. hyperbaric welding) and residual stress simulation,
- mechanical testing and analyses; from small scale specimens – to full scale testing/verification.

Projects
- Residual Stress Simulation for Integrity Assessment – RESIA.
- MAINCOAT - Coating systems for new constructions and maintenance
- NOVCOAT - Novel manufacturing of corrosion and wear resistant coatings
- SmartPipe - Monitoring technical condition of offshore oil & gas pipelines
Products and services:
Our department is divided into 4 research teams. Within each research area we have modern and well equipped laboratories
