WP7: Mechanics and micro-structure of agriculture plants materials
WP7: Mechanics and micro-structure of agriculture plants materials

Person responsible in the Centre: Prof. Krystyna Konstankiewicz

Objectives:
  • improve networking with centres of excellence and laboratories in EU and Candidate Countries,
  • establishing a training centre at IAPAS, ensuring access to the newest knowledge and data existing in EU laboratories,
  • attract young researchers in field of mechanics and micro-structure studies of agriculture plant materials.
Deliverables and milestones for the package:
  • strengthened links with European laboratories through experience exchanging - three missions to EU countries,
  • one Workshop and lab-training for young researchers,
  • joint scientific publications,
  • arrangement for participation in new proposal of R&D project in FP.

General activities:
  • increasing understanding of interaction between micro and macro properties of agriculture plant materials,
  • presentation of new techniques used for micro and macro-cracking investigation,
  • better understanding of experimental results considered their practical application.
Examples of activity realized within the WP7:
  • micro-structure and mechanical properties of plant tissue as crucial importance for controlling and development high quality of fruits, vegetables and other food products.
