Annual report 2022

Dear customers and partners of Fraunhofer LBF.

Safe. Digital. Sustainable. This is the motto that defines our institute’s agenda for the future. In 2022, we once again aligned our key research topics according to that motto: from the development of digital models for components and systems, through development methods and simulation strategies for designing, analyzing and safeguarding critical products, right up to creating concrete, circular material and system solutions. In our numerous research projects, we are expanding our scientific and technological market offerings for polymer materials, durable and intelligent lightweight design, structural dynamics and experimental, digital and cyber-physical simulations. What matters most to us is providing our customers and partners with optimal support as they increase resource and energy efficiency, sustainability and innovation in all product life cycle phases and value chain stages. ...
