Institute for Defect Research

The Institute for Defect Research is a specialized organization focused on studying defects in materials and structures, which can affect their performance and safety. Researchers at this institute analyze how imperfections—like cracks or flaws—form and how they influence the behavior of various materials, from metals to plastics. By understanding these defects better, the institute aims to improve material design and engineering, leading to safer and more reliable products in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and aerospace. Their work contributes to advances in technology and helps prevent failures in critical applications.
