Doctorate Christian Witzgall
The Chair of Design Engineering congratulates Mr. Christian Witzgall on successfully passing the doctoral examination for Dr.-Ing. on 25.10.2024, which he completed with distinction. Mr. Witzgall presented the contents of his dissertation entitled “Consideration of previous fatigue damage in the crash simulation of short-fibre reinforced thermoplastics”. In particular, he developed suitable test and measurement methods for the material characterisation of pre-damaged plastics under high loading speeds and made a contribution to the prediction of the crash safety of mechanically used components in vehicles. We wish Mr. Witzgall all the best for the future.
