Abstract 1:

The keynote provides a review of activities related to monitoring the technical condition of metal structures, conducted at Gdańsk University of Technology, with a focus on corrosion degradation monitoring. Following a general introduction, selected research results and developed diagnostic methods will be presented, along with a discussion of their potential implementation in real environmental conditions.

Abstract 2:

Polypropylene (PP) meshes are widely used in abdominal hernia and pelvic floor repair, yet their design is still largely based on empirical methods. This project aims to provide a systematic understanding of how mesh morphology affects mechanical performance. An experimental protocol was developed, including ball burst, uniaxial tensile, and suture retention tests, and applied to over 20 commercial meshes to assess repeatability and generalizability. Morphological analysis was then performed to identify key geometric parameters influencing mechanical behavior, supported by multivariate regression models. Finally, numerical models at both macro- and mesoscales were created to simulate experimental tests and validate predictions. This framework supports a more rational design of surgical meshes, highlighting the importance of pore geometry from early design to clinical application, with the potential to improve patient outcomes.
