Solid Mechanics Laboratory
A challenge to all kinds of unknown problems
In recent years, the materials used in machines and structures are becoming increasingly sophisticated due to demands for use under extreme environments (in space, under high temperature, under high pressure) and for high performance (micronization, weight reduction, longer life). In order to use the materials safely, expanding the knowledge about these materials and understanding the phenomena that occur to these materials in the form of tests and experiments are necessary. Our laboratory carries out research related to material fracture based on solid mechanics by conducting studies on deformation and strength.

FOR SOCIETY
We have been studying topics related to the destruction of materials. The research conducted on fracture phenomena has enabled us to work out measures to prevent such destruction. The research achievements in this field have helped in designing various kinds of products and the prevention of accidents associated with these products.
RESEARCH THEMES
- Research on the mechanical properties and strength of composite materials
- Material testing method and the development of material testing machines
- Measurement of deformation by image processing and the development of destruction evaluation methods
