The Laboratory for structural evaluation operates within the Chair of construction and design at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maribor. The well-equipped laboratory enables research activities in the framework of the following research topics:

  • Dimensioning of dynamically loaded machine parts and structures (HCF, LCF, Fracture mechanics).
  • Computational Modelling (structural analysis using the Finite Element Method).
  • Machine elements (in general).
  • Drives (gear drives).
  • Experimental static and fatigue testing.
  • Noise and vibration analyses.
  • Contact problems and tribology.
  • Industrial vehicles.
