Fraunhofer LBF

The Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF in Darmstadt can look back on more than 70 years of experience and tradition in structural durability. Structural durability, system reliability and adaptronics are the designated core competencies. The team of about 300 staff members including the scientists of the associated Competence Center for System Reliability and Machine Acoustics SzM at the Technical University of Darmstadt, evaluates and realises tailored solutions for all safety components – from the material to the system, from the idea to the product. Complementary to 17,000 square meters of multifunctional, experimental test and laboratory landscape, the engineers also apply a virtual test environment, therefore reducing the development time.
