Services Soete Laboratory
Soete laboratory offers industrial services in component design, material characterization, testing and consultancy. Our strength lies in the fields of tribological investigation, fracture mechanics and fatigue. Both experimental and computational expertise is available to provide a broad spectrum analysis.
Vacancies
Tribology
| Key competences in tribology: advanced lubrication, erosive/abrasive wear, friction and wear of advanced materials (ceramics, polymers and composites, self-lubricating materials) |  |
Fracture mechanics
| Key competences in the field of fracture mechanics range from crack initiation to failure analysis with an special focus on the assessment of welded structures such as pipelines. |  |
Fatigue and lifetime assessment
| Key competences in the field of fatigue focus on the assessment of lifetime of structures and mechanical construction both in the fields of tribology and fracture mechanics. |  |
