Activity Report 2012 UCVE

1. INTRODUCTION This report describes the activities of the group during the year 2012. Despite the current situation, the performance of the group kept pace with previous years, in terms of scientific publications. However, at the level of project contracting, the effect of budgetary constraints and the economic environment are being felt: there is a decrease of new contracts with the FCT-Foundation for Science and Technology and other national funding agents, which affects the level of recruitment and training of young researchers. New projects, with funding from the European Commission, were secured.

The funding received through LAETA - Associate Laboratory, has compensated, in part, the decrease of funds from project contracts; however, delays to process reimbursements by FCT has created a severe cash flow, which affected negatively the performance of the group during 2012.

The approved projects, in collaboration with other R&D groups of LAETA (following a recommendation of the Advisory Board) have been completed: the projects involved the areas of experimental and computational biomechanics, dynamics of vehicles, joining with structural adhesives, analysis and optimization of composite materials and advanced design mechanics with composite materials.

Human resources at the end of 2012 were: 路 28 PhD members; 路 36 Young researchers (PhD students).

The research interests of the members of the group are illustrated in figure 1:
