robust EVP 4.0

Efficient and robust development, validation
and production processes for hybrid metal FRP
structures for transport and energy systems in
the context of industry 4.0

The robust EVP 4.0 project involves researching and demonstrating a holis- Period
tic approach for the efficient implementation of hybrid lightweight structures 16.02.2019 – 31.07.2021
through linked development, validation and production processes with an
continuous data structure. The aim of the project is to lower the development Project management
and industrialization barriers for hybrid lightweight structures for small and Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Hubert Jäger
medium-sized companies by means of the methods and tools developed.

Hybrid structures in combination with metal and fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) Dr.-Ing. Michael Krahl
show great lightweight potential, but the high number of degrees of freedom Daniel Haider
in the development leads to a complex and multidisciplinary process due
to the different material properties and their interactions. For this purpose, Project partners
methods were developed to support a digitally linked development process Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Techno-
in the development phase by structuring the relevant product data and pro- logies and Systems (Fraunhofer IKTS)
viding engineering knowledge. Furthermore, a validation strategy and its in-
tegration into the development process was developed using the example of Funding
a hybrid generic demonstrator component and non-destructive testing pro-
cedures and evaluation methods were further developed for this application.
To investigate the production process of hybrid lightweight structures a quali-
ty-assured production process chain with automated data acquisition was set European Regional Development Fund
up for the demonstrator component using inline measurement technology. (EFRE) in Saxony: Funding guideline
