activities in the field of thermoplasts:
- In cooperation with partners or customers, we carry out structural design, structural analysis and technological development of aircraft components made of composite materials with a thermoplastic matrix
- Thermomechanical analysis of materials
- Static and fatigue testing of samples, nodes and structures
- Operational and climatic testing of samples, nodes and structures
Equipment:
- Heated plates, workshop press, via subcontractor - autoclave and heated press
- Static and fatigue structural testing laboratories
- Laboratory for thermomechanical analyses
- Laboratory for operational and climatic tests
