Name

Laboratory of Biomechanics and Strength of Materials

Lab. Correspondent

Emin SÜNBÜLOĞLU, Assoc. Prof., Ph.D.

Brief History

The laboratory has been established by Mustafa SAVCI in 1974. Members are interested in carrying out theoretical, experimental and numerical studies on a wide range of topics such as structural strength, fatigue strength, vibration analysis, numerical modeling, experimental mechanics, material characterization and field test applications.

The Laboratory is located at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, covers an area of approx. 600m2. The works are generally directed towards academic studies, R&D projects and Projects supported by external companies.
