TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first findings for the production of ceramic foams depending on different process parameters and the used material, and analyze the changes in microstructure between each process phase.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the theoretical and technological principals for a resource efficient design and production of highly loaded thermoplastic composite profile structures with integrated metallic load introduction elements and a multi scale form closure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of steel/polymer adhesion quality on the occurring failure modes of the crashboxes and the resulting energy absorptions are experimentally analyzed, and the results of these investigations show that the adhesion strengths chosen here significantly influence both the failure modes and the energy absorption values.

TL;DR: Investigations for the design and simulation of tailored active material encapsulations that can be intrinsically activated from inside the organism are presented, and a robot is obtained that – due to its softness – can be used in interaction with humans.

TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation behavior of unidirectional and textile glass fibre reinforced polypropylene in tension-tension fatigue loading has been analyzed, where the material configurations have selectively been chosen to achieve identical fibre volume fraction of the reinforcement fibres in loading direction and therefore gain a high comparability in fatigue loading.
