Lightweight yet sturdy – these are the requirements that fiber-reinforced composites must meet in lightweight construction – and they must also be sustainable. This aspect in particular is the focus of the new research project »Predict-TPC,« which researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM and the Leibniz-Institut für Verbundwerkstoffe GmbH IVW are working on together. The Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Science and Health is supporting the project with €1.1 million. Ministerial Director Katharina Heil presented the funding approval.
