300 METRE SCIENCE

From the hidden university to a Science Mile

In the summer semester, students developed a concept for how the Coudraystraße campus could be redesigned in the future to make the location more attractive for members of the university as well as for the public.

Location: Ground floor, corridor | Poster exhibition

STRAW AS A BUILDING MATERIAL

Resilient and ecological 

Due to its good load-bearing and insulating properties, straw is suitable as a green alternative to conventional building materials. Current student theses and an experiment on load-bearing straw bale construction will be presented.

VTE, ground floor (hall) | demonstrations 13.00/15.00/17.00 

PARFORCE

Immersive Virtual Reality Experiments

The aim of the project is to build a European, cross-university VR learning platform in civil engineering. Experience the first virtual tours and various e-learning scenarios.

VTE, ground floor (hall) |  interactive exhibition 15.00-18.00

NATURAL HAZARDS AND RISKS IN STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

Theses of the NHRE study programme

In the Master's programme »Natural Hazards and Risks in Structural Engineering«, challenging engineering tasks are solved in the planning, construction and realisation of structures under the influence of earthquakes, wind and floods, among others.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURE

3D Printing at MFPA

The ExAM 255 is the world's first industrial 3D printer that processes injection moulded granulate. It will be demonstrated how precisely fitting technical ceramic components are printed from granulate, which can be used almost everywhere.

MFPA Weimar, ground floor (hall) | duration: 15-20 Min. 

LESS IS MORE

Sealing a landfill

To prevent emissions from escaping into water or air, it makes sense to seal a landfill. It will be explained which sealing and drainage systems are most suitable.

MFPA Weimar, ground floor (hall) | duration: 20 Min. 

MAKING THE INVISIBLE VISIBLE

Hyperspectral image analysis

The human eye sees the environment multispectrally in the wavelengths of the primary colours red, green and blue. Using various materials, it will be demonstrated how hyperspectral image analysis is used to classify materials.

MFPA Weimar, ground floor (hall, room L.06) | duration: 5- 10 Min. 

3D-PRINTING

... meets fibre optic sensor technology

Fibre optic sensors (FOS) use optical waveguides to investigate a variety of measurands. The possibilities opened up by the analysis method in combination with 3D printing of plastics will be illustrated.  

MFPA Weimar, 2nd floor (module 3, room 27) | duration: 20-25 Min.

EXPERIMENTAL STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS

Student project

The application of methods to identify the natural vibration behaviour of structures is demonstrated on two complex model structures.

DENKRAUM

Evaluation and Preservation of Room Truss Structures

The DFG project examines the room truss systems created in Germany within the 1920s to 1970s with regard to their monument value and structural condition.

VIRTUAL MECHANICS-LABORATORY

With the help of the software "Unity3D", a virtual learning space was created for students, which conveys knowledge from mechanics and encourages virtual experimentation. Try it out!
