Zusammenfassung / Abstract

Integral fiber reinforced hinges (IFRH) represent a promising solution for the existent conflict of shape adaptive lightweight structures: shape adaptability versus load carrying ability. However, limited information on manufacturing processes capable of integrating multiple matrix materials into one composite part, suitable matrix materials and hinge performance exist. The presented thesis focuses on the investigation of a hybrid-matrix injection process, material properties of carbon fiber reinforced elastomers and the experimental bending characterization of IFRH.
