The diverse research topics at the ILH can be found in the three research fields of
Materials and interfaces - Our research on high-performance materials addresses material behaviour on different size scales.
Production technology and processes - Forming technology, joining and assembly technology as well as plastics technology are central areas of manufacturing technology at ILH.
Methods and models - Simulation technology is essential to minimize costs for time-consuming and expensive experiments.
Cooperative ILH projects
NeMo.Pilot - Phase 1
On-demand mobility services offer considerable potential for increasing the economic, ecological and social sustainability of local public transport. An innovative approach aimed at such a service in the form of needs-based, sustainable and individual public transport without changing trains is the NeMo.bil mobility system. The basic prerequisite ...

Optimal experimental design and modeling for parameter identification for inhomogeneous problems
The reliable prediction of numerical simulations requires not only physically based mathematical modeling but also determination of the associated model constants based on experimental data. However, deficiencies of experimental data as well as model deficiency may have an impact on the stability of the identified parameters. This application is ...

Experimental and numerical determination of the correlations between the process variables of thermo-mechanical material treatment and the mechanical properties of graded mixed structures with bimodal grain size distribution
The aim of the project is the simulation-based determination of the relationships between process variables of thermo-mechanical processing and the resulting graded microstructure with bimodal grain size distribution.To reduce CO2 emissions in the transport sector, the approach of load-adapted components is increasingly being pursued to reduce the ...
