Dresden Center for Intelligent Materials (DCIM)
Table of contents
Motivation
New materials contribute significantly to meeting the most pressing social, economic and technological changes and challenges.
Aim and concept of the lab
The Lab Dresden Centre for Intelligent Materials is focused on novel materials and structures which, as a central component of intelligent systems, feel, think and act autonomously through integrated sensory and actuator functionalities. It initially consists of the two research groups
- Intelligent Structures - structures with material-inherent control functions
- Materials Informatics – data-driven approaches for materials research
and establishes complementary competencies and develops promising future research areas.
Structural aims
- Promotion of young scientists and targeted support of female scientists
- Sustainable establishment of complementary competencies and the location of promising research topics at TU Dresden
- Creation of structural and content-related networking as well as verifiable joint preliminary research investigations as a prerequisite for the successful application of coordinated projects
Research aims
- Identification of suitable multifunctional materials and their computer-aided characterisation in close coordination with partners.
- Conception and implementation of novel methodological approaches for accelerated and application-oriented material discovery
- Development of concepts and methods for the creation of novel topologies
Selection of suitable multifunctional materials and provision of technically relevant properties in close cooperation with partners - Development of topologies with distributed compliance on a macroscale to achieve large deformations and high forces while taking into account the resulting dynamics
- Development of suitable control mechanisms for interactions on the structural level as well as on the interface and material level
Main research areas
The research areas of DCIM focus on intelligent materials based on the research work of the participating research groups.
- Data-driven approaches for the description and integration of novel tailor-made materials
- System integration of complex functions, such as actively controllable deformations as well as function integration of advanced properties, e.g. magnetic permeability, electrical conductivity or radiation transparency.
