Research

Structural Integrity of Air Vehicles

Through evaluation and verification in strength, rigidity, durability and damage tolerance, the aeronautical research aims to provide novel knowledge in the structural integrity of air vehicles.

LiU Composite Lab - LCL

Here, research in new materials, for example, carbon fiber, polymers and composites will take place in collaboration with business, research institutes, other universities and students. LCL is establishing at Linköping University, spring 2025.

News

Bala from India got UTMIS stipendium

"It has been great to study at LiU" an experience worth leaving my "comfort zone". Balas master thesis project is about composites and solid mechanics, an important topic for a sustainable future in the car- and aircraft- industry.
