Structural Integrity and Materials Reliability Centre (CIEFMA)

The Structural Integrity and Materials Reliability group (CIEFMA) is devoted to the mechanical characterization at micro and nanoscales, studing the deformation, fracture , fatigue and structural integrity of small volumes of materials, coatings, thin films and microstructures and devices, as well as micro and nanomaterials.  The laboratory of nanomaterials is equiped with nanoindentation facilities, scratch-test, mechanical testing machines, wear testing, high temperature furnaces, confocal microscopy, among other facilities. The research is focused on:
