Research, testing, consulting, monitoring, certification, damage investigation in the fields of component strength and high-temperature properties of components made of metals, including light alloys, construction materials, plastics, compound and composite materials, surface engineering, tribology. Lectures on materials science and component strength, supervision of doctoral, bachelor's and master's theses, advanced design projects, as well as tutorials, internships and seminars.
Holistic evaluation of component properties under complex operational demands in the context of materials – production – construction design – demands on construction components with particular emphasis on materials development, component strength, fatigue behaviour, damage analysis and longevity analysis at high temperatures, very high numbers of cycles, effects of the environment, quality assurance and improvement of production sequences in the manufacturing of components
