IDVA builds up a demonstrator facade for the Smart Green Tower in Freiburg
05.2015 - The Smart Green Tower is a residential and commercial tower, which will be built in Freiburg on the former rail freight area. The innovative energy concept will be its outstanding feature. The facade will be equipped with modern photovoltaik elements and an energy storage system. So the building can be operated nearly autonomously.
IDVA worked out a concept for a facade made of fibre reinforced plastic profiles for the architectural office “Frey Architekten”. The main challenges during the development were the integration of connecting elements (profiles to supporting structure and photovoltaic elements to the profiles) and compliance with the fire protection regulations. A full-size model of the concept design was build.
Fibre reinforced profiles offer many advantages, e.g.:
- Better energy balance during manufacturing of the profiles
- Lightweight design and therefor easier assembly
- Electric insulation (reduced risk of light strike to the photovoltaic elements)
- outstanding corrosion resistance

Airbus subsidiary CTC and IDVA develop a manufacturing process for aircraft components
03.2015 - In a joint research project, the CTC GmbH and the IDVA GmbH developed a process for an automated production of CFRP preforms aimed for the manufacturing of aircraft frames. This process has been successfully validated by a prototypic machine that has been developed and built by the IDVA GmbH.
Concerning this development project, an article has been published in the members’ journal of Germany’s biggest composite network, Carbon Composite e.V. (CCeV).
The CTC GmbH is an enterprise founded by Airbus Group, which is located at the aerospace factory in Stade/Northern Germany. This factory is the nucleus of research, development and production of CFRP aircraft components in civil aviation and is currently the model production facility for CFRP parts in the company. The CTC GmbH represents the research and pre-development department for CFRP production technology and construction methods.
With the broad experience of many joint projects, the capabilities of IDVA GmbH and CTC GmbH complement each other for the benefit of the customers.
JEC Europe 2015
03.2015 - The Joint Exhibition in Composites (JEC) Show opened once again their doors to an international audience in Paris. The who-is-who of the branch presented a whole bunch of partial outstanding exhibits and demonstrator parts.
The suppliers of natural fibre composites products were delighted by the growing interest in their products. Some of them had joined together for an joint booth and showed interesting application examples for this promising material. For the next year, big things are about to happen: The fair will likely move to a new exhibition space near the airport of Paris. Please see the following pictures for some impressions of the event:

Materialica and eCarTec 2014
10.2014 - A visit at the jointly organized fairs Materialica und eCarTec at the former Munich airport delivered information to new materials together with a detailed view into the world of electric mobility.
It’s remarkable how far the standardization progress concerning electric vehicles and electrically supported bicycles has evolved in the last years. This is shown by the huge amount of different suppliers of standard parts like battery packs, charging stations and plugs. The suppliers offer these parts in different versions as solutions for series productions.
Several solutions for wireless charging of electric vehicles had also been presented. To charge a car like this it is simply parked over a base plate and the charging process gets started with a power of several kilowatts. So a full charge of the battery is possible under everyday conditions.
But electric mobility is nothing without lightweight design and its materials. A lightweight construction and electrically powered replica of the famous Porsche 356 has been put on display. It includes an innovative structural concept made out of flat FRP sandwich boards.
To compensate the extra weight caused by the batteries, lightweight design plays an important role in the electric mobility business. Fibre reinforced plastics like “carbon” are being used by German car manufacturer BMW in their city vehicle “i3” for the complete passenger compartment. Other electric series production and concept vehicles trust in carbon fibre reinforced plastics as well to enhance the mileage and driving performance. IDVA GmbH with its experience in the development of lightweight vehicle structures is the perfect contact for potentially interested partners.

Visiting professor Sobek
10.2014 - IDVA participate at a business breakfast at the Institute for Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (Institut für Leichtbau Entwerfen und Konstruieren - ILEK) at the University of Stuttgart. Professor Sobek presented the current research activities at his institute.
In detail, the Aktivhaus (“Active House”) B10 in Stuttgart which was completed in spring was introduced. The Aktivhaus B10 generates twice the electricity it requires from sustainable sources. The surplus energy is used to provide power for electric cars and houses in the neighbourhood. Additionally, the B10 is fully recyclable.
We would like to thank Mr. Sobek and his team for that interesting outlook on the future of structural engineering and the AFBW e.V. for the organisation of the event.
1st Technology Day Hybrid Lightweight Design
05.2014 - On 14 May 2014 the Technology Day Hybrid Lightweight Design (1. Technologietag Hybrider Leichtbau) took place in Stuttgart. It has been arranged for the first time by Baden-Württemberg's state agency for lightweight Design. About 200 visitors attended the event and learned about the newest developments and trends related to hybrid lightweight design in the keynotes an technical sessions.
Mr. Seeliger (CEO of the Leichtbau BW) noted "Lightweight design begins in the initial product concept phase where 60 to 80 percent of the weight saving are made". He further said that lightweight products can be enhanced signifificantly, if simulation software is used during all product realisation phases. Based on the experience of multiple years we fully support this statement: The earlier a simulation is used in development processes, the more efficent a lightweight solution could be!
The Technology Day finished with an interesting dicussion on the theme "Where will lightweight lead us to?". Involved in the discussion were Wolfgang Seeliger (CEO Leichtbau BW), Werner Sobek (University Stuttgart ILEK), Rolf Leiber (Leiber Group), Moderator Michael Brandt, Ministries of Research Theresia Bauer und Ministerial Director Guido Rebstock (on the picture from left to right).

JEC Europe 2014
03.2014 - In 2014 the JEC Europe took place on two floors in exhibition hall seven. The exhibition space has increased by more than 8 percent to approximately 55.000 square meters. An explanation may be found in the constant growth of composite industry of approx. six percent/year.
Different fields of application for composite materials were dealt with. A large majority of exhibitors devoted to the lightweight vehicle components supplier industry. But also the branches aviation, aerospace, transportation, sports, leisure and shipbuilding were represented.
In many applications a great effort in replacing classic matrix systems (e. g. epoxy resins) by thermoplastic materials or polyurethane resins can be seen. These materials offer new opportunities for economic serial production.
Furthermore providers of natural fibre composites were represented with some interesting exhibits and materials. Even if natural fibre composites are niche products yet, a welcome aspect is the increasing availability of those materials and their mechanical properties.
Please see the following pictures for some impressions:
Civil engineering with carbon – conference at TU Berlin
02.2014 - The institute of civil engineering, special branch concrete construction, headed by Prof. Mike Schlaich invited the guests to the site of the old AEG turbine plant.

Successful load test of the composite-intensive A350 XWB aircraft
01.2014 - Airbus successfully performed the ultimate load test of the A350 XWB’s wing in December 2013, applying loads up to 1.5 times higher than those the aircraft would ever encounter in its entire in-service life. At ultimate load, the A350 XWB wingtip deflection exceeds five metres.
This test was performed on the A350 XWB static test airframe that was built specifically to demonstrate the structural integrity of the airframe. The strains induced into the airframe are measured and monitored in real time using more than ten thousand measurement channels. The huge volume of data recorded is analysed and correlated to the structural computer models which have been used to design the airframe.
The successful ultimate load tests are important milestones for type certification and another step on the road entry into service of the A350 XWB in Q4 2014.
By the way, Airbus rolled-out its third A350 XWB flight-test aircraft, MSN2, from the paint shop in Toulouse. To reflect its primary construction from fibre reinforced plastics, the plane is featuring a distinctive “Carbon” signature livery. See the attached pictures for further details.
IDVA passed the second control audit of the QMS

5th Innovation Day „Civil Engineering“
09.2012 - Main Topic of the 5th Innovation Day, arranged by the CFK-Valley Stade e. V., was the use of new materials in civil engineering and architecture. Practical examples were used to show potential future fields of application of composite fibre materials in civil engineering.
In a common presentation held IDVA and Mr. Maier (Leonhardt, Andrä und Partner Beratende Ingenieure VBI, GmbH; short: LAP) the use of CFRP in civil engineering was highlighted on the basis of definite projects. The joint talk with the title “Composite fibre materials in structural engineering and bridge construction – experiences and challenges” covered the advantages as well as the building-specific requirements and problems of composite materials. The example of a bridge renovation with preloaded CFRP strips illustrated this topic among others.
The globally operating civil engineering company „Leonhardt, Andrä und Partner Beratende Ingenieure VBI“ was founded in 1953. Since then many innovative civil engineering projects were successfully archived, for example the rebuilding of the former Reichstag, the Olympic stadium in Munich and many large bridges around the world. Over time, many pioneering innovations, both in construction and planning, were developed within these projects.
You can find more Information about the 5th Innovation in the official press release of the CFK Valley Stade e. V. (only available in German) and the Program of the event (also only available in German).
IDVA designs flying stadium roof
07.2012 - Within the scope of the World Stadium Congress 2012, June 3rd - 5th the World Stadium Award has been awarded. IDVA competed in the “Most innovative use of technology in stadium design” category together with the civil engineers of Leonhardt, Andrä und Partner (LAP). The jury selected three finalists in this category from the many submitted works, the design study „The Cloud - the flying roof“ is one of them.
“The Cloud” is thus the only draft which was voted among the best three contributions. The competitors like the Moses-Mabhida-Stadium Durban and the Melbourne Stadium have already been realized. The idea of mobile and flying roof using helium bumped into enthusiasm with the „Supreme Committee Qatar 2022“. This committee is the official governmental agency responsible for the award of stadium planning contracts for soccer world cup championships of 2022.
One can hardly escape the charm of combining aviation technology with civil engineering in a way that results in a new principle of supporting roof structures, especially for mobile use.
Floating like an airship – because it is lighter than air – the roof needs no complex and massive supporting structure. So it is possible to fly the roof to its destination without using any lifting gear. Together with the civil engineers from LAP Stuttgart the aviation technology was merged with civil engineering technology aimed to develop new generations of wide projecting roofs.

News from the Composite Europe exhibition in Stuttgart
09.2011 - The IDVA GmbH has demonstrated presence at German’s biggest exhibition for composite materials that took place in Stuttgart’s exhibition area this year. The Composite Europe represents a good opportunity to get informed about current developments in composite business. This year’s focal points were automation technology and automotive applications. In following you see some impressions from the exhibition.
Cost and weight reduction by optimization
09.2011
What is an optimization and what could be the benefit for the client?
Through the objective application of FEA optimization, shorter development periods for CRFP parts are possible with regard to minimal weight, minimized/defined/symmetrical displacement, buckling safety as well as further aims. In most cases the optimization is used to reduce costs and development times of parts.
In some cases the development of parts or assemblies becomes possible at least through this method, because it is impossible to perform a reasonable development in economic terms by the conventional iterative approach. Therefor computer based optimizations are increasingly used within an early stage of development, for example to identify the optimal ply layup according to the applicable load state.
IDVA uses Altair’s market leading Hyperworks/Optistruct software for optimization problems. Optimizations with a variety of different objectives, parameters and constraints can be performed. Besides, it is possible to include manufacturing constraints. On the sketches you can see the four most common optimization methods. Topology optimizations are used, to determine the optimal structure for the given design space according to the flux of force. Wall thicknesses and cross sections can be optimized using the size optimization method. A size optimization of CRFP structures means, to optimize the ply layup, as well as the ply angles. The shape method enables the targeted optimization of various areas on the outer contour. For improvements of a structure with bead profiles, the topography optimization is the right decision.
The previously described advantages were also used by the aircraft manufacturer Airbus. Airbus used Altair’s Optistruct Software during the development of its A380 and A350 XWB aircrafts. Recently the first center wing box for the A350 XWB has been delivered to Airbus St. Nazaire’s assembly plant. The center wing box of the A350 XWB consists to 53% of composite materials. During optimization methods a weight reduction of 50% has been achieved. Especially in the particular case of parts with complex load cases, the full potential of an optimization software can be used.
In practice
It is recommended, to make a geometry optimization even before the initial design is made. The results are usually bionical, so the solution looks like a nature inspired structure. Through all stages of realization towards a manufacturable part, it is necessary to keep an eye on the economic efficiency and feasibility.
Unfortunately it is often the case that in this early stage of development a large part of the optimization potential is left unutilized. In the later project phase it requires a lot of effort to utilize the limits of the possible of inefficient structural concepts.

Sustainability with CFRP
06.2011 - The Beacon Power Cooperation based in Massachusetts develops and produces flywheels of CFRP for use in energy networks. A 20 MW flywheel plant in the US state New York was inaugurated on July 12, 2011 to compensate current fluctuations in the electricity network of the metropolis of New York.
The increasingly use of renewable energy leads to new challenges in quality of power supply, as the capacity of energy sources like photovoltaics and wind wheel heavily depends on the meteorological conditions. The conflontation of the proven technology of energy storage by flywheels with high performance materials such as CFRP is another step toward practical introduction of renewable energy on a large scale.
