DAY OF RESEARCH 2010On 10 February 2010 the second 'Day of Research' is organised at the Laboratory Soete, where the ongoing research topics of our PhD researchers and master thesis students will be presented. All people interested in the activities of our lab, all master thesis students of the faculty and our industrial and research partners are invited to attend at this interesting day! |
Who we areThe Laboratory Soete is since 1982 named for Prof. Walter Soete, who was a director of the laboratory from 1946 to 1982.Nowadays the laboratory comprises the department of Mechanical Construction and Production of the Ghent University and consists of a team of motivated people. |

At the Faculty of Engineering of Ghent University numerous Mechanical Engineering courses are taught at the Laboratory Soete, going from structural analysis, over machine elements and welding to applied student projects. More information can be found under education. Next to our educational tasks, about half of our activities concern basic research, while the other half is industrial or applied research in the fields of weld testing, fracture mechanics, tribology and fatigue. In the field of tribology our main area of interest is the behaviour of bearing materials for large-scale applications. Over the years we have gathered the necessary experience and developed the experimental facilities to simulate the proper working conditions in such large-scale applications. For the testing of machines, welds and components in fatigue we possess a large array of servohydraulic testers, including a modular test-floor to perform both standardised as made-to-order tests. |

| 02/02/2010 | On February 1, Koen Faes obtained a PhD degree for his work 'New Friction Welding Process for Automatic Welding of Pipelines'. This project was performed in close coorporation with the BIL, the company Denys and Laboratory Soete, it was funded by the IWT. We hereby congratulate Koen with his accomplishments! | |
