Seminar: Design of Composite Structures

article imageSince the mass is one of the main factors influencing the fuel consumption of vehicles, increasing demands to reduce energy usage and CO2 emissions, force the automotive industry to consider the use of alternative designs and new materials. Composite materials have proven their potential to reduce the weight of structures in many applications (e.g. aerospace and motorsports). As composites have a special set-up and behave completely different than traditional materials, engineers must learn how to employ these materials to take advantage of their special characteristics in the design of vehicle structures. In the seminar real world examples are used to create a basic understanding of designing composite structures. Then the theoretical and practical foundations of composite design are explained.

The trainer Dr. techn. Roland Hinterhölzl has been heading the Professorship Composite Materials and the study degree program "Lightweight Design and Composite Materials" at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria since 2016.

From Early Testing to Continuous Integration: Three Factors Determining Efficient Development

article imageWhy don't more tests early in the development process automatically lead to faster project implementation or lower costs? In automotive development, the promise of the "shift-left" concept - in which validation measures are moved to earlier phases - has become a widely adopted paradigm. In practice, however, many organizations experience the opposite effect, as complexity increases, additional work is created, and efficiency gains are limited.

Construction of Europe's Largest Federated Digital Infrastructure for Materials Research Launched

article imageWith the MaterialsCommons project, a pan-European federated digital infrastructure for materials research and development is being created for the first time. The project, funded by the European Commission under Horizon Europe with 28 million euros, brings together 26 research institutions from 14 countries with over 30 industrial partners, including Bosch, Siemens, ArcelorMittal, Infineon, Voestalpine, and Schaeffler. The goal is to unify Europe's fragmented materials data landscape and accelerate the development of new high-performance materials by a factor of 4.
