General aspects of leightweight design, lightweight strategies, construction methods, design principles, lightweight construction, stiffening techniques, lightweight materials, virtual product engineering, bionics, joining techniques, validation, recycling

Additionally, guest speakers from industry will present lightweight design from an practical point of view.

Lecture slides are available via eLearning-Platform ILIAS.

regular attendance: 21 h

self-study: 99 h

The students are able to ...

• evaluate the potential of central lightweight strategies and their application in design processes.
• apply different stiffing methods qualitatively and to evaluate their effectiveness.
• evaluate the potential of computer-aided engineering as well as the related limits and influences on manufacturing.
• reflect the basics of lightweight construction from a system view in the context of the product engineering process.

The type of examination (written or oral) will be announced at the beginning of the lecture.

written examination: 90 min duration

Auxiliary means: none.
