Programm
We call for submission of oral and poster contributions from PhD-students working at universities and research institutions in the field of lightweight systems and related fabrication technologies. The language of the symposium is English.
Today more than ever, economic growth, prosperity and mobility need to be balanced with the limited availability of natural resources and energy reserves. In this context, lightweight systems play a central role by the realization of sustainable products and components, minimizing material and energy consumption over the entire design life. The design space available to engineers is continuously expanded by novel material systems and fabrication technologies entering the market. At the same time, novel multi-disciplinary design tools, methods and approaches, new data and information technologies are revolutionizing products and the way they are designed and fabricated.
The symposium Lightweight Design in Product Development (LWD-PD) will be held at ETH Zurich on:
June 13th to 15th 2018
Purpose
The purpose of this symposium is to selectively address and discuss actual topics along the entire value chain from material to design and fabrication, sharing research achievements at the leading edge of research and application and discussing and exchanging ideas on future trends.StructureThe LWD-PD symposium is structured in five blocks, each one of them addressing one of the following topics:Multi-functional lightweight systemsModular lightweight designEngineering of compositesAdditive manufacturing for lightweight designAdvanced materials and processesBlocks are all organized in the same manner. They include a keynote presentation, short talks and an extended poster session. Therefore, PhD-students will be asked to briefly present their own research and prepare a poster contribution. Sufficient time for specific discussions and exchanges will be allocated at the poster sessions.
