The research interests of Spyros Karamanos include Structural Mechanics, Numerical Methods and Finite Elements, Structural Stability, Inelastic Behavior of Structures, Analysis and Design of Metal Structures against Fatigue, Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics. The applications of his research refer to infrastructure components and systems for production, transmission and storage of energy and water resources. Spyros specializes in structural mechanics and integrity of energy infrastructure systems. His research interests focus on buckling and fatigue of pipelines and offshore structures, mainly tubular components and systems, using computational (finite element) methods, and experimental testing. His research has been funded primarily by European research projects, with the participation of European steel and pipeline industry. Part of his research is funded by industrial partners in Greece, Europe and the US. He has published more than 70 papers in refereed journals and more than 150 papers in conference proceedings.
