Scientific interest
  • FEM based simulations of the material failure.
  • Analytical-numerical description of the brittle fracture (ceramic materials).
  • Modelling of the laminated materials – with isotropic or anisotropic layers, and calculation of their behaviour under the residual stresses and mechanical loading; modelling of the crack propagation within these laminates.
  • Modelling of multilayer systems – ceramic-metal used in the LTCC components and study of their behaviour under the operating conditions.
