Projectomschrijving

The aim of the EXTREME project is to develop novel material characterisation methods and in-situ measurement techniques, material models and simulation methods for the design and manufacture aerospace composite structures under EXTREME dynamic loadings leading to a significant reduction of weight, design and certification cost

 
Rol van UGent
Ghent University is responsible of the dynamic characterization testing of the novel composite and polymeric materials developed within EXTREME project. Ghent University will design a state of the art high speed optical measurement technique, which will be used for accurate testing of EXTRME project materials. Ghent University also supports the modelling and simulation activities within the project.
