Intelligent lightweight construction systems for an emission-fre tomorrow

As a leading research institution in the field of lightweight system design, the Institute develops and tests new technologies for an emission-free tomorrow.

Our research portfolio includes high-performance materials, analysis methods for the entire life cycle, performance-based functional lightweight structures, efficient manufacturing processes for fibre composite structures on an industrial scale, and end-to-end digitalisation of the entire process chain.

Adaptronics opens up possibilities to provide lightweight structures with additional capabilities. For example, CFRP structures can be enabled with materials and technologies from adaptronics to change their shape, actively reduce vibrations, reduce sound radiation from the vibrating structure or diagnose their own condition.

Integrating active and passive additional functions into the lightweight structure is the goal of lightweight system design according to the motto "Everything contributes". To achieve this goal, seven scientific departments of the institute work together in coordination with five application-oriented business areas.

With its broad range of services and its creative scientists, the institute is a partner for industry, universities, research institutions, ministries and regulatory authorities.
