Modelling polymer processes and structures

-Modelling of medical products to support the human musculoskeletal system, like orthosis, prosthesis, exoskeletons or implants

-Process simulation and virtual process design of manufacturing processes with polymers and fiber-reinforced composites:

-additive manufacturing, FFF and SLS

-molding processes like injection and compression molding

-continuous-fiber processes, e.g. hand-layup, thermoforming

-Multiscale thermomechanical modelling, incl. distortion and inner stresses

-Structure simulation and virtual design of polymer products, under consideration of manufacturing effects, to improve loading capacity and durability
