Student (f/m/x) - Investigation of CFRP hybrid laminates for cryogenic hydrogen tanks - #936436

Would you like to become part of our innovation-driven research team and help shape the future of lightweight system? We, the Institute of Lightweight Systems, develop and test new lightweight construction technologies for resource-saving and climate-friendly structures in the aerospace, transport, energy and security sectors. Our vision is intelligent lightweight system construction for an emission-free tomorrow.

What To Expect

Hydrogen is considered a promising energy source for the future of aviation. A key technical challenge is the storage of liquid hydrogen at cryogenic temperatures. Composite materials offer great potential for the development of high-performance tanks, but must be optimised both in terms of their structural performance and their industrial manufacturability. One possible approach is the combination of different materials with varying layer thicknesses, the targeted arrangement of which can enable a balanced solution between mechanical requirements and manufacturing aspects.

Your tasks

• You research and analyze relevant scientific literature.
• You define test procedures and testing requirements.
• You contribute to the design and manufacturing of specimen with various hybrid laminate configurations.
• You carry out mechanical and thermal test series.
• You analyze and evaluate the test data.
  
  

Your profile

• ongoing studies in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering or a comparable subject area
• basic knowledge of mechanics and production of fibre composite structures
• experience in conducting and analysing experimental test series
• independent and scientific way of working
• high level of motivation, initiative and interest in innovative technologies
  
  

We look forward to getting to know you!
