Under the umbrella of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, 15 partner institutes in lightweight construction research and development (R&D) contribute to solutions along the entire value chain in manufacturing processes as well as analysis and evaluation methods. They bundle their know-how and can thus specifically address the technical as well as business and eco/environmental requirements of innovative companies. They can also provide a comprehensive range of advanced training courses with specifically tailored modules.
Previously operating under the name
“Fraunhofer Lightweight Construction Alliance,” this partnership will now continue as “
Fraunhofer Research Field Lightweight Construction” with the focus in 2021 on the integration of additional function(s) and digitization an important contribution to achieving the world’s climate goals.

Fatigue strength of hybrid joined multi-material structures: Fraunhofer LBF identifies high potential for lightweight design Posted by PublisherElectronics & Semiconductors Thursday, 21. January 2021
Increasingly stringent statutory emission limits are pushing the automotive industry toward innovative lightweight design solutions. In this context, the fatigue strength of thin sheet metal structures, especially made from multi-material, is becoming increasingly important. As part of the EU-funded research project \”ALLIANCE\” on the topic of lightweight design and CO2 reduction, the car manufacturer Opel Automobile GmbH, together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF and the System Reliability, Adaptive Structures, and Machine Acoustics department of the Technical Univers
