TL;DR: In this paper, a foamable polyurethane system is used to impregnate textile layers and to create the sandwich foam core in one single process step, and a high adaptability of the resulting mechanical properties can be achieved by varying the textile reinforcement of the sandwich top layers, the foam core density and the sandwich thickness, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, the flexible conductor tracks connected to planar functional elements are located as functional element network on resin film, and a functional element semi-finished product is formed as a plastically deformable functional product so as to be integrated into fiber thermoset composites.

TL;DR: In this article, a flexural testing device is adapted for composites undergoing large deflection and the strain and their gradients around the cut-out are measured using a digital image correlation technique.

TL;DR: In this article, a compact sensor based on the diffraction grating method is introduced for spatially and temporally resolved strain measurement, which allows the measurement of vibrations up to several tens of kHz.

TL;DR: In this article, material and application-adaptive rivetting technology for the joining and electrical contacting of textile-reinforced composite parts with integrated conductors is presented. And the authors show the ability to use printed conductors and carbon fibres as well as conventional wires for integration in textile reinforced composites, suitable for mass production.
