Lecturers:
Goran Vizentin i Goran Vukelić
Lecture “Smart Materials for Marine Applications” is intended to be a popular intro into the world of smart materials – materials with properties that can be reversely and repeatedly altered in a controlled fashion by external stimuli. How can they be applied in marine industry, on ships or offshore facilities? Innovative coatings that repair themselves, vibrating hull panels for defouling and deicing, shape-memory alloys for adaptive bulbous bows… All that and a bit more in a lecture by Goran Vizentin and Goran Vukelić from University of Rijeka, Faculty of Maritime Studies.
