Priority Programme “Calm, Smooth and Smart – Novel Approaches for Influencing Vibrations by Means of Deliberately Introduced Dissipation” (SPP 1897) – Deadline 20.11.2018

The concept of lightweight design has become more and more important in engineering. Its aim is to reduce the mass of any kind of technical structure to a minimum in order to save resources, costs, and energy during both manufacturing and operation. This often means to make technical components and the whole system more sensitive to unwanted vibrations. This yet inevitable dependence shall now be eliminated by developing novel approaches for influencing vibrations that result from the research of the established Priority Programme “Calm, Smooth and Smart – Novel Approaches for Influencing Vibrations by Means of Deliberately Introduced Dissipation”.

  • Proposals must be written in English and submitted to the DFG by 20 November 2018.
