Bachelor-/ Master Thesis: »modeling of Heating

vor 1 Woche


Aachen, Deutschland Production Technology Vollzeit

At the Fraunhofer IPT in Aachen, we work with more than 530 employees every day to make the production of the future more digital, more flexible and more sustainable. In the group »Laser System and Heating Technology«, we design and construct various prototype machines for laser-based and laser-assisted processes.

Within the scope of your thesis, you will develop the laser-assisted heating processes for recyclable mono-material sandwich panels (MMSP). A numerical model will be developed to describe the transient temperature change along the thickness direction of MMSP during the heating process, in which both laser and IR radiation are used to heat the surface layers and foam core of MMSP to different temperatures. This increases the formability of the MMSP without causing the foam structure in the core to collapse. The model is experimentally validated by a real heating process of MMSP with temperature measurement at several locations.

**Was Du bei uns tust**
- Determination of boundary conditions for the heating of MMSP
- Establishing a process model for the heating processes
- Experimental model validation
- Model-based parameter study

**Was Du mitbringst**
- Basic Knowledge and Experience in modelling heat
- and mass transfer problem is advantageous
- First Experiences in MATLAB or Python (NumPy, SciPy) are required
- A high degree of initiative, independence and motivation
- Good language skills in English

**Was Du erwarten kannst**
- Ideal conditions for practical experience alongside your studies
- Professional supervision and collaboration in a dedicated team
- Flexible working to combine study and job in the best possible way
