Research and Developement Leightweight Construction and Composite Materials
- Manufacturing processes for composite parts like eg. automated fiber placement, thermoforming, diaphragma-forming, autoclave, resin transfer moulding, resin infusion etc.
- Process simulation for composites: draping, filling, curing, process-induced deformations / spring in, residual stresses
- Structural simulation and optimization
- Material modelling (at micro-, meso- and macro-level)
- Performing tests on coupon/material- and subcomponent/structural-level
- Strain field and deformation analysis with digital image correlation
- Hybrid materials and design (metal-composite)
- Research cooperation with TCKT Transfercenter für Kunststofftechnik (www.tckt.at)
