Polymer Materials Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores sports and energy fields using mechanics of materials and computational mechanics.
AboutAbout the lab
Analyzing soft materials through mechanics.
The Polymer Materials Engineering Lab conducts research on sports and energy, using mechanics of materials and computational mechanics as tools.
In particular, the lab is investigating new analysis methods for what are called soft materials, such as fibers, rubber, polymers, and plastics.
The lab also studies design methods for items such as sportswear that can help athletes achieve better records.
The lab belongs to the Division of Structural Energy Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Information and Systems.
