Current and finished MECHANICAL research projects at Wölfel
HELIOS
The HELIOS project is developing and validating innovative, rivet-free CFRP fuselage shell concepts for aviation in order to demonstrate their technological feasibility and their potential for lightweight construction and efficiency.
enableATO
The project "enableATO" at RailCampus OWL, funded with 12.5 million euros by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, focuses on developing technologies for automated rail transport in rural areas.
JoinDT
The JoinDT project is developing a method for damage-tolerant design of bonded and welded joints in fiber-reinforced composite structures for the aerospace industry. The goal is to account for pre-damage from impact and fatigue simulations, improve the design process, and minimize the need for physical testing.
LeiQaS
The LeiQaS project (Quiet Transverse Thrusters) aimed to minimize the noise emissions from transverse thruster systems (TTS) impacting ships and the maritime environment through innovative vibration reduction technologies.
smartVessel
The smartVessel project aims to ensure precise and continuous condition monitoring of tanks through model-driven methods and strain vessels.
