Jeonbuk National University Korea Institute of Engineering and Hyundai Motor Company Joint Research Agreement

Application of Various Non-Destructive Testing Techniques in Automobiles and More

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Geon-ju] On the 16th, the Los Alamos Research Institute, a Korean engineering research institute at Jeonbuk National University, announced that it has signed a joint research project agreement with Hyundai Motor Company.

According to the institute, it successfully carried out a future technology research project with Hyundai Motor in 2018, and subsequently renewed the agreement in 2019 to expand technology development.

Through this, the institute applied its unique video visualization technology and wave control technology, which have never been attempted globally, to Hyundai Motor's future technology research.

With the signing of this joint research project agreement, the institute plans to apply its various nondestructive testing methods to automobile structures.

The institute's nondestructive testing technology is expected to be widely applicable not only in the automobile industry but also in machinery, construction, and aerospace industries, with anticipated expansion of application fields in the future.

An institute official stated, "Our institute has developed and possesses various nondestructive testing technologies, so we believe we can contribute to making future-type automobiles using nondestructive testing methods."

Meanwhile, the Los Alamos Research Institute at Jeonbuk National University is developing convergence and fusion technologies that integrate various fields such as machinery, electronics, carbon materials, and smart materials.
