A vehicle bodyshell is available for practical training.
Measurements on rotating structures can be performed at the rotation test facility of the Gesellschaft für Entwicklung und Versuch Adlershof mbH (GEVA).
Lightweight applications
The main focus of the chair is the analytical/computational treatment of lightweight structures (fiber composite structures, sandwich structures). In the laboratory there is the possibility to produce lightweight structures (hand lamination) and to carry out some component tests.
All common types of fibres (glass, aramid, carbon fibres) can be processed.
