The mission of AdvAluE is to contribute to green mobility through lightweight design of car components. This will be achieved by the increase of the energy absorption capability (EAC) of aluminium components and structures in cars. To this end a holistic approach of engineering for high EAC is developed, including computational design strategies, knowledge-based material selection and development, and customised processing.

Research topics:
Materials Development, Process Development, Material Based Design in the Field of the Light Metals Aluminium and Magnesium
