Current Topics for Theses

Below you will find a list of topics currently available to write a Bachelor's or Master's thesis at the IKL. You are also welcome to approach us with your own topics.

If you are interested in writing your thesis under the supervision of the IKL, please contact Christoph Kralovec to work on an individual topic.

  • Developing a load monitoring system based on piezoelectric elements for lightweight structures (experiment, data analysis, design of measurent devices)
  • Physics-informed evaluation of electromechanical impedance measurements for damage evaluation of lightweight structures (FE method, experiment, data analysis by machine learning)
  • Mode-based evaluation of acoustic emission measurements for damage evaluation of lightweight structures (FE method, experiment, data analysis)
  • Design and construction of demonstrators for stability problems in lightweight construction for use in teaching (FE method, experiment, handcraft)

All of the topics are well integrated into the institute's area of research and education.
