Designing and calculating composites
Calculative design and optimisation of short
and long fibre reinforced parts under
mechanical, dynamical and thermal stress
Calculating the increase in stress and
stiffness due to anisotropy and/or nonhomogeneity
Calculation focused on the nonhomogeneities and/or the anisotropy
concerning stress- and deformation behavior
of parts made of various materials;
determination of the increase in stress and
stiffness (mutual hindrance)
Development of special calculation methods
for the design of fibre reinforced composites
Specialising in calculation methods (e.g.
Finite-Element-Calculation, transition mould,
optimisation, shearing stress and –stiffness,
non-homogeneity, anisotropy …) for the
design of composites
Calculative development of shearing
stresses and stiffnesses for thin walled
beams made of anisotropical materials
Development of a special Finite-ElementCalculation program for the determination of
shearing stresses, shearing stiffnesses and
profile parameters for thin walled profiles
made of isotropical and/or anisotropical
(monocline) materials under radial stress
