Research in Coorperation with Industry Partners
Our research focuses on topics concernig the development and manufacturing of fibre composite components. This not only includes pure carbon-fibre- or glass-fibre-reinforced-plastics but also a mixture of metal and fibre-plastic composites. We are working on new concepts for structural engineering and design principles for light-weight construction, new textile material concepts, resin systems and processing proccesses, machine technologies for automated production and testing of structural components as well as topics of process chain design and optimization.
Almost all of our projects are characterized by interdisciplinary cooperation in our core competence areas: aircraft and light-weight construction, material technology and engineering, as well as mechanical engineering and production technology.
