Materials Research

Mechanical testing
The work is focused on optimising properties, developing new materials, using conventional methods and seeking new methods for manufacturing, destructive and non-destructive characterisation, and numerical modelling. The work is carried out in close contact and collaboration with the national and the international industry, the education sector, and research sector.
 
PALSfit
PALSfit is a computer program for analysing spectra that are measured by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). PALSfit is based on the well tested PATFIT program, which has been used extensively by the positron annihilation community. Taking advantage of the windows interface, a number of new user friendly facilities have been incorporated, in particular graphics displays.
