FIELD OF INTEREST
- He deals with the problem of examining deviations and tolerances of complex structural elements and their mathematical modelling. Another area is the study of strain and deformation of conveyor belts by applying modern mathematical and statistical methods in the creation of new ecological transport systems. He experimentally verified the service life of the conveyor belts by observing the wear and damage process and examining the issue of environmentally friendly transport systems and transport equipment elements. At the same time, he devotes himself to developing the prototype of a cable hook conveyor and designing environmentally-friendly logistics inter-operational transport systems. Research and development projects which he participated in as a responsible researcher or co-researcher are also within the above mentioned fields.
PATENTS
