Projects

We have participated in numerous collaborations, both nationally and internationally.

National Projects

  • Development of an Intelligent Design of a Composite Pressure Tank with a Tilted Dome, Szybka Ścieżka dla Mazowsza, 04.2020 – 02.2024, in consortium with Amargo sp. z o. o. and Warsaw University of Technology

    Description:

    The aim of this R&D project is to develop an intelligent design of a composite pressure tank with a tilted dome. dome design will be significantly improved compared to existing solutions. The project is led by Amargo Sp. z.o.o. in collaboration with the Faculty of Materials Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology within a consortium. The project involves developing manufacturing technology for double-layer composite tanks, complete selection of materials and process parameters, including winding methods. Mechanical and aging tests of selected materials will be conducted. Additionally, the leak-tightness and chemical resistance of the thermoplastic liner will be evaluated. The tank will be equipped with a monitoring system using NDT methods and piezoelectric sensors. The project includes the development of a production line to create a demonstrator in the form of a composite tank with a tilted dome.

  • New Generation of Hybrid Composite Rods for Concrete and Soil Reinforcement, LIDER X, 01.2020-06.2022. Team members participated in the project led by Dr. hab. inż. Grzegorz Lesiuk, Prof. PWr

    Description:

    The project aims to develop innovative technology for producing a range of multilayer composite rods and anchors through research work. The new manufacturing method will directly reflect in increased strength parameters of the rods and anchors. The rods developed within the project will have a "programmable structure," meaning that after the core loses stability, the load-bearing capacity will be maintained by fibers arranged in a different layer within the rod. The application of a protective layer for the core will enhance the fatigue durability of the offered rods. The new multilayer rod design will result in greater adhesion to concrete, which is fundamentally important given their intended use in reinforcing concrete load-bearing structures. The project is expected to produce a new range of composite anchors with increased chemical resistance and reduced weight, crucial for their use in areas exposed to corrosive environments.
