Overview

About the programme

Interactive Fiber Rubber Composites at TU Dresden is aimed at the simulation-based development of smart material combinations to create so-called self-sufficient fibre rubber composites.

For this purpose, actuators and sensors are directly integrated into these structures instead of adding them subsequently. Hence, systems become more robust and complex deformation patterns can be specifically adjusted, whereas these change are produced in a reversible and contactless manner.

Programme Structure

This RTG has an interdisciplinary focus and four main cross-scale research topics, ranging from molecular to system level:

material development (textile/rubber)
modeling and simulation
control theory
system development and characterization
