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.

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 ...

A two-scale model for damage processes during the machining of carbon fiber reinforced plastics
This project includes an experimental characterization of the carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFK) composite and its components, material modeling, CFK machining tests, and simulation-supported analyses of CFK machining. Its main objective is the simulation-supported prediction of machining damage mechanisms of CFK. Four basic relevant damage ...

Goal-oriented adaptive finite elements for parameter identification of conventional and additive micromorphic continuum models
Due to deficiencies of local continua, in particular pathological mesh dependency of FE solutions on the numerical side and failure to simulate length scale dependent problems on the theoretical side, generalized continuum theories have wide areas of applications. In this project, we address the class of micromorphic continua, containing micropolar ...

Fuzzy-stochastic methods for polymorphic uncertainty modeling of lightweight structures
The overall aim of the research project is to transfer the polymorphic uncertainty models developed in the first funding period into the life cycle of hybrid lightweight structures. In particular, the manufacturing as well as the subsequent use during service time of fiber reinforced plastics (FRPs) in hybrid systems are investigated. During the ...
