OVERVIEW OF INEGI

OVERVIEW
HISTORY

• INEGI was created by the Department of Mechanical
  Engineering and Industrial Management of the
  Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto, in
  1986, as an interface Institution between
  university and industry, aiming to strengthen the
  liaison between the academia and the business.
• Since its foundation to 1992 it was mainly an
  office to facilitate the administrative work
  required by the cooperation between university
  and industry.
• Between 1992 and 1995 a great investment (8
  million euros) was made in its own facilities and
  capabilities - building, laboratories and
  training of its own staff. With this investment
  INEGI became able to carry out RD and innovation
  activity by its own.
• Since then INEGI has grown consistently and
  consolidated a position as partner of industry
  for RD activity.

OVERVIEW
POSITIONNING

• It is a private non-profit organization and
  recognized by the Portuguese Government as an
  Institution of Public Utility.
• Shareholders
• 33 - University of Porto
• 67 - 58 private companies and 3 associations
  representing industry sectors
• It is positioned as an institution of interface
  with a strong link to both University and
  industry.

MISSION
Contribute to the increase of the competitiveness
of the national industry, through RD, Knowledge
and Technology Transfer and Training, in the
fields of engineering design, materials,
production technology, energy and industrial
management.

OVERVIEW
ACTIVITY IN FIVE MAIN AXIS

• Knowledge creation and development of
  technologies, usually 100 funded by FCT
  (National Foundation for Science and Technology)
  and EC.
• RD projects with industry co-financed by
  Portuguese and European funds.
• RD projects with industry funded by clients.
• Technical consulting.
• Training tailor made training programs, mostly
  in-company.

PROJECTS
Increase of Bolted Joint Performance for CFRP
using hybrid laminates
The primary objective of the study is to study
the optimization of highly loaded bolted joints.
The hybrid laminates using metallic inserts (FML)
are used as local reinforcement of the bolted
joint. INEGIs tasks is to develop advanced FE
models and perform detailed sensitivity studies
of the joint performance from specimen to
Engineering Model level.

PROJECTS
Composite Bolted Joint Analysis for Space CFRP
Structures
The primary objective of the study was to develop
enhanced bolted joints for spacecraft composite
structures. The study included collecting all
information relevant to the design, manufacturing
and verification of currently used CFRP
structures and joint systems and to provide a
standardized procedure for the design analysis,
manufacturing and testing of mechanically
fastened joints in advanced composite structures.

Modelling of Porous Shells
The primary objective of the study is to develop
accurate models of the behaviour of triaxial
woven fabrics subjected to thermal and acoustic
loads. INEGIs task will be to perform
thermo-elastic tests on samples using the custom
made Shearography system. Additionally, INEGI
will perform acoustic, vibration and
thermo-elastic tests on an Engineering Model.

PROJECTS
Non-conventional matrix/carbon nanotubes
reinforced composite for applications in space
The primary objective of the study is to develop
novel composite materials using organic and
inorganic matrices reinforced by carbon
nanotubes. INEGIs role is to perform a
state-of-the-art study on the inorganic matrix
carbon nanotube composite materials and to
perform mechanical characterisation tests on
specimens.
