The Laboratory for Fatigue and Stress analysis (FATSLAB) is a laboratory in the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering with three major goals:
- Fatigue characterization, modeling and life enhancement.
- The study and development of the robust and efficient methods for durability analysis and their applications to CAE design.
- The education of engineering leaders.
The current research thrust areas are: multiaxial fatigue of emerging light alloys, fatigue of magnesium (Mg) spot welded joints, cyclic plasticity modeling of wrought alloys, finite deformation, and MEMS failure.
