UGENT | Extreme | A Horizon 2020 Project

Bird strike impact on turbine blades – type of project: bilateral, industrial Aero Boosters, 1.5 years
High speed forming of sheet metals – Exploiting the full potential of metals – type of project: Strategic base research funded by Flemish Research Fund (FWO), 4 years
The combination of high-end, state-of-the-art equipment (partly) acquired and the solutions found allowed UGent to take major steps forward in both dynamic testing and full-field optical strain measurements. This was recognised by the scientific community: UGent organised a successful (fully booked) DIC course (Ghent, July 2019)
