Dr. Ing. Imad Aldin Khattab

- Collaboration with DLR Braunschweig, TU Clausthal, Leibniz UNI Hannover and BAM Berlin - The research focuses on simulation of polymer nanocomposites using Transformation Field Analysis (TFA/NUTFA).

The research focuses on the development of mathematical models for an accelerated multiscale investigation of highly heterogeneous composite materials in real airframe structures to save computational resources and time compared to todays established multiscale approaches.

- Predict the stiffness and strength of structural parts in lightweight structures. - Design and stress analysis of composite and metal aircraft structures - Numerical simulation analysis on components and assemblies using (FEA) software, e.g., ABAQUS with FORTRAN subroutines, ANSYS and SolidWorks Simulation - Structure Design using CAD software such as SolidWorks or AutoCAD

I performed the Ph.D. thesis under the supervision of Prof. Michael Sinapius at the Institute of Composite Structures and Adaptive Systems in DLR in Braunschweig where I performed a specific research on the effects of woven defects in composite structures.
