In our department Structural Mechanics, dedicated scientists are developing new simulation tools and test methods for analysing lightweight structures made of fibre composites. We are currently working on exciting research projects involving the evaluation and development of aircraft components, hydrogen tanks, rotor blades for wind turbines, aerospace structures and rolling stock components. These applications place high demands on the fatigue strength of fibre composites and the predictive capability of simulation tools. Many current prediction models for the fatigue life of fibre-reinforced polymers require a large amount for calibration experiments or are severely limited in their range of applications hindering their industrial use. Therefore, you are taking a detailed look at this issue: You are researching the material behaviour at the micro level and contribute to the advancement of micro-scale numerical models. You are part of an interdisciplinary team, collaborating closely with scientific colleagues within the department.
