High Temperature Mechanics focus on load-carrying components in designs working at high, or very high, temperatures, primarily toward gas turbine applications.

In the future, gas turbines will be more efficient, more eco-friendly, and powered by renewable fuel. At the Division for Solid Mechanics, models are being developed to predict the lifetimes of the materials that will make the future possible.

Upwards, downwards or sideways. Quickly or slowly. Evenly or unevenly. New research at LiU shows how cracks propagate in gas turbine blades. The results may have far-reaching industrial implications.
