Organisation profile:

The University of Patras (UPAT) is represented by the Biomedical Technology Unit (BITU) and the Laboratory of Technology & Strength of Materials (LTSM) at the University of Patras, Greece.

  1. Biomedical Technology Unit (BITU) belongs to the Department of Medical Physics and is focused on health related research in Medical Imaging, Simulations, Clinical Engineering and Technology Management since 1989. It has been recognized as one of the pioneering group and major contributors to the development of digital tomosynthesis. Nowadays, the research is oriented towards simulation of X-ray imaging techniques (dual-energy tomosynthesis, cone-beam breast CT, breast tomosynthesis and brain imaging) and development of new reconstruction algorithms.    
  2. Laboratory of Technology & Strength of Materials (LTSM) belongs to the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Aeronautics and conducts research in the fields of Materials Science and Technology, Strength of Materials and Engineering parts and Structural Analysis by focusing on aeronautical applications. LTSM has established a national and international reputation in the research area of aeronautical materials and structures through participation in more than 80 research projects. Since 2002, LTSM is chairing the European Aeronautics Science Network (EASN).

Since 2002, LTSM is chairing the European Aeronautics Science Network (EASN).

 

Role in the project:

UPAT will act as a leader of WP4 (BITU) and WP8 (LTSM). UPAT will also participate in WP1, WP2, WP6, WP9 and WP10. The main tasks of UPAT (BITU) are modeling and simulation of 2D and 3D X-ray based imaging techniques for inspection of defects in small high volume parts such as thermoplastics clips. Additionally, UPAT (LTSM) will develop a concept for the quantification of defects detected by X-ray techniques, a progressive damage model for assessing the effects of defects on the strength of CFRP laminate as well as a neural network model that will be capable to directly correlate CT scan data with strength of defected materials.
