Advanced Materials and Structures Lab
Comprehensive solutions for the simulation-based development of lightweight structures
The Advanced Materials and Structures Lab (AMSL) was established in December 2024. The AMSL aims to develop composite materials and material assemblies with improved properties, multifunctionality, innovative processability and high versatility. Our research covers a broad spectrum, ranging from the fundamental development of new materials – such as structurally load-bearing energy storage materials or nanoparticle-reinforced plastics – through to FEM-based design tools and application-oriented research for potential industrial sectors such as transport, aerospace, energy and the environment, construction, medical technology and electrical engineering.
Facilities
- State-of-the-art CAE equipment with various finite element programmes (including Ansys Workbench, Abaqus, LS-Dyna, COMSOL Multiphysics, in-house developments) and other software tools (including MATLAB, Simulink, Granta, NuMAD, CLT-Tools)
- CAD programmes (Autodesk Inventor, CATIA) and slicer software (PrusaSlicer)
- Testing technology for validating simulation results
- Quality assurance and materials diagnostics (in particular SEM and in-situ µCT)
- Sample preparation
