Structural Dynamics and System Identification


The structural dynamics group is working in the field of dynamics and vibrations of structures of aeronautics and space technology, i.e. the primary structures (load-carrying structures) of fixed wing aircraft, rotorcraft, and satellites. This involves experimental and numerical analysis of structural vibrations as well as the development and assessment of efficient means for vibration reduction.

Loads Analysis and Aeroelastic Design


The department of Loads Analysis and Aeroelastic Design is active in the aeroelastic assessment of aircraft, mainly in the design stage. This includes investigations of aeroelastic properties of new aircraft designs (e.g. control surface efficiency, aeroelastic stability), questions of structural design (e.g. aeroelastic tailoring), and the comprehensive aircraft loads process, with a focus on dynamic loads (e.g. gust loads, landing loads).

Aeroelastic Simulation


The Aeroelastic Simulation Department focuses on the numerical analysis of aeroelastic problems. Investigations for transport aircraft, small aircraft, turbomachines and rotorcraft are performed in close cooperation with the experimental activities of the institute.

Aeroelastic Experiments


The department “Aeroelastic Experiments” is committed to the planning, realization and analysis of challenging experiments in wind tunnels. We investigate physical phenomena regarding aeroelasticity and unsteady aerodynamics on transport aircraft, turbo machines, UCAV configurations, helicopters, rockets and large buildings like bridges or wind turbines. The compiled results lead us to physically reasonable indication of the problem-modeling of the observed phenomena and provide validation data for state-of-the-art numerical simulation.
