Project PTDC/CTM/66380/2006 "Smart Composites"
Funded by FCT/MCTES from 2008
Head researcher: F.M. Braz Fernandes
The project’s objective is the implementation of processing and characterization techniques for shape-memory alloy (SMA) reinforced composites (polymer-, bitumen- and metal-based matrices), whose shape, elastic properties, internal stress states and natural vibration frequencies can be modified, either in active or passive modes, in order to adapt to different engineering applications.

 

 

Project PTDC/EIA-EIA/102579/2008 "Problem Solving Environment for Materials Structural Characterization via Tomography"
Funded by FCT/MCTES from 2010
CENIMAT participation coordinator: A. Velhinho
This project aims to design and implement an advanced problem solving environment (hereafter referred as PSE) suitable for researchers in the area of Materials Science. In particular, it will target the processing of tomographic data acquired from samples of composite materials. This PSE is particularly designed to be run in desktop computers and to take advantage both of general purpose multi-core processors and General Purpose Graphical Processing Units (GPGPU).

 

 
Project PTDC/EME-TME/103543/2008, "FRISURF – Technology developments of Friction stir processing to produce functionally graded materials and improve surfaces for advanced engineering applications"
FCT/MCTES from 2010
CENIMAT participation coordinator: A. Velhinho
The present study envisages exploiting the technology in different routes as:
- understanding the effect of the tool in FSP for both surface and in-volume processing. The existing knowledge addresses mostly Friction Stir Welding, though previous works showed that the tool dimensions and geometry are determinant of the process quality;
- developing strategies for surface modification in order to improve high-strain rate superplasticity and other properties such as formability, fatigue and wear;
- exploiting manufacturing of functionally graded materials as an alternative technique to powder metallurgy.
