INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.) “Brief Profile” Establishment : February 1998, as a spin-off of the Univ. of PatrasCollaborating Labs : A number of labs belonging to the University of PatrasSupervised by : Ministry of DevelopmentSectoral focus : Completely horizontal – All industrial sectors, including services MISSION : “Make local and Greek industry more competitive, through automation and exploitation of ICT in production (mainly) and administrative processes”
INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (I.S.I.) • APPLIED MECHANICS LABORATORY, • DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND AERONAUTICS, • UNIVERSITY OF PATRAS • Applied Mechanics Laboratory, University of Patras (AML/UP) is in operation since 1980. It is part of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics, University of Patras (UP). AML/UP deals mainly with the general field of MATERIALS & STRUCTURES giving emphasis in the science, the technology and the applications of composite materials (organic, ceramic and metal matrix), monolithic ceramics and plastics. Research is conducted in a variety of areas including: • • Design and Optimisation of Composite Structures, Fatigue Design and Damage Tolerance Approach, • • Finite Elements Techniques (Implicit and Explicit), Stress Analysis, • • Fatigue and Damage Behaviour of Composite Laminates, Continuum Damage Approach, • • Non-destructive Techniques in Advanced Materials Ultrasonic, Spectral analysis, Acoustic Emission, • • Boundary Elements • • Wave Propagation and Scattering in Acoustics, Electromagnetism, Elasticity and Thermoelasticity, • • Inverse Problems, Inversion of Scattering Data, • • Vibration Analysis and Damping Control, • • Fluids – Structures Interaction, • • Ageing Systems and Health Monitoring of Engineering Systems, Safety Management of Composite Structures, • • Repair of Metal and Composite Structures using Composite Patches, • • Hierarchical Modelling Approach, • • Characterisation of Material Properties, using Conventional and Ultrasonic Techniques, • • Analysis of the Thermo-Mechanical Behaviour of Polymers and Composites, • • Experimental Stress Analysis, • • Smart Materials and Structures,
