Competence
The main
focus is on structural composites with emphasis on development
of materials, design methods and processes.
Swerea SICOMP has competence in the following areas:
- Design and calculations
- Material development and characterisation
- Fracture mechanics
- Process development and simulation of both thermoplastic and thermoset-based fibre reinforced composites
- Prototype manufacturing
- Testing
- Life cycle assessment and recycling
Our skilled and experienced personnel is familiar with
industrial aspects since most of our projects are conducted in
close collaboration with industry. Most of our staff has been
working in industry for several years and approximately 40% of
the staff have a PhD-degree.
