The scientific work is focused on the development and investigation of integrative plastic processing technologies for the resource efficient manufacturing of lightweight structures and systems. The coupled structure and process simulation together with analytical and numerical methods provide important information for optimized structure and process parameters. Basis materials are modified high-performance polymers and compounds, but also renewable primary products, novel thermoplastic prepregs and bionic textile preforms. |
Combining insights from fields such as engineering, sports technology and sports sciences, the professorship of Sports Equipment & Technology focuses on specialist competences in the area of research and development at the human-machine interface. As a multidisciplinary team consisting of engineers, sports scientists, sports engineers, IT experts, and technicians, it provides innovative solutions for complex problems and design of tailor-made sports equipment. |
