Testing and Analyzing Composite Materials With Fraunhofer Expertise

JEC World describes itself as the »Festival of Composites«, as composites professionals from all over the world gather under its roof in Paris every year. Researchers from the Fraunhofer ITWM will also be there. We present testing and analysis methods for composite materials at the joint Fraunhofer stand from March 5 to 7 2024.

Safe Airbag Deployment

In car accidents, the airbag can often save lives. While driving, it lies well hidden under a high-quality plastic surface that covers large parts of the cockpit: the slush skin.

We have developed a hand-guided terahertz measurement system that enables individual and non-destructive quality control of slush skins.

Upcoming Events

An important point in our work is the exchange with colleagues about the latest developments in research and the sharing of our results. For this reason, we regularly travel to trade fairs and conferences and present our institute at a booth or in a lecture.

 

Berlin / Fair / 24.09. – 27.09.2024

InnoTrans 2024

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is taking part in InnoTrans 2024 with a joint stand coordinated by the Fraunhofer Institute IZFP and the Fraunhofer Transport Alliance. 

Our expert Dr. Joachim Jonuscheit, deputy head of the »Material Characterization and Testing« department, will also be there to present our terahertz-based measurement technology.

 

Vilnius, Lithuania / Conference / 01.10. – 04.10.2024
