SINTEF has experience in AM with the most common materials for such processes, and SINTEF is also establishing/developing new materials for AM. Furthermore, characterization and testing of...
The mechanical properties of materials are affected in the presence of hydrogen and may cause degradation in for of so-called hydrogen embrittlement. In areas like hydrogen storage and transport,...
SINTEF is involved in all stages of bioprinting, from the development and optimization of materials, to the development of three-dimensional structures containing cells, and the analysis of the...
Railway systems are large, complex and much interconnected organisms. Because of such complexity, of their huge cost and tremendous impact on society, they need to be carefully planned in every...
The design, operation, and maintenance of energy systems are complex tasks for which there is a need for better decision support systems. Great savings and increased service levels may be achieved...
At SINTEF Ocean, we work with product development, industrial and hygienic design as an integral part of research and development within projects aimed at the ocean industries, and the fisheries...
In most historic hydropower developments in Norway, operation and monitoring have been based on analogue systems. Now the industry is undergoing a transformation with a focus on leveraging...
Co-simulation is a method for simulating coupled systems. In SINTEF we use this method to simulate complex maritime systems, such as ship systems (including entire ships) and marine operations....
The aquaculture industry operates at locations with demanding environmental conditions. Structures must be designed to withstand the loads and be safe for both humans and fish. SINTEF Ocean has...
Cultivation of marine low-trophic animals demands less energy, compared to that of animals on higher trophic levels. To make it possible to meet the future demand for feed and food, we develop...
SINTEF performs field and laboratory investigations and calculation analyses of reinforced concrete. SINTEF performs field and laboratory investigations and calculation analyses of reinforced...
By using sensors to continuously monitor components in the energy system, we can discover faults before they become serious enough to cause the component to fail. Currently, the condition of...
SINTEF develops sustainable solutions for buildings, infrastructure and other facilities in Arctic areas SINTEF combines Arctic field experience and interdisciplinary expertise in areas such as...
...3D printing has been in use in the construction industry for years, mainly to create architectural models and prototypes of buildings. However, we will soon see more technology on the...
SINTEF has an important role in the development of concepts for offshore wind turbines. Since 2005, when the first model of Hywind Demo was tested in SINTEF Ocean's Ocean Basin, we have had...
Better understanding of storage capacity, injectivity and long-term effects of the stored CO2 is a must for establishing commercial storage operations. We investigate the mechanical and physical...
Sand production may create serious operational problems such as well loss and erosion of pipelines and process facilities, as well as environmental and safety problems. A common solution is to...
According to the Norwegian National Transport Plan 2014–2023, all expected growth in urban passenger traffic is projected to increase through use of public transportation, enhanced opportunities...
The connection of offshore wind farms to the grid is an important research field because while the process is currently responsible for a large proportion of costs, the potential for cost...
