The Essen Laboratory for Lightweight Structures (ELLF) and the Institute for Metal and Lightweight Structures of the University of Duisburg-Essen will together present the Essener Membranbau Symposium 2012 on Friday, 28^th September 2012.

The Symposium’s aim is the exchange of experts from research, design and erection. The presentations deal with current questions of particular relevance in the field of membrane structures:

Previous developments and current trends, ETFE foil structures, specification of mechanical properties of fabrics, formfinding, simulation and cutting patterns, membrane specific transport and erection, “Forensic Engineering” for damaged membrane structures and new fields of application for membranes.

Proceedings will be available on paper.

At the end of the day a visitation of the ELLF is planned, with further opportunity for professional and personal exchange.

The symposium’s language will be German.
