Foundation
Endowed since December 2009 by Airbus the new professorship is integrated into the Bremen Center for Computational Materials Science (BCCMS) to connect industry-oriented and fundamental research.
Research
Emphasis of our research activities lies upon development of new methods and approaches for numerical simulation of innovative materials and manufacturing processes, especially related to aviation industry. The maxim of our work is “knowledge-based“ instead of “trial-and-error“. Based upon fundamental numerical simulation and analysis employing the computer new manufacturing processes and materials are designed and optimized. The close interconnection of virtual process and material development with experimental validation receives special attention.
Teaching
Our teaching activities concentrate on substantiated training of experts in the field of computer simulation being in high demand by industry. Courses are offered within the elective course “Computergestütze Materialwissenschaften (CMS)”. The focus lies upon the fundamentals of the finite element method and practice with commercial software tools (e. g. MSC.Marc, ABAQUS, DIGIMAT)
Member of AVIABELT
Since the middle of 2011 ISEMP is a member of AVIABELT, the aerospace competence cluster in Bremen. All leading companies of the Bremen aerospace industry are represented in AVIABELT. Therefor ISEMP is in a good position for the future and can benefit of numerous industry and research contacts.
