Design Load Allowables for Composite Plates Exposed to Thermomechanical Loads

Martin Liebisch is working at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) since 2014. His work was initially focusing the analysis of composite curing analysis. Later his scope changed to the topic of thermomechanical analysis and the behavior of composites under fire exposure. Further work focuses on numerical and experimental investigation of hydrogen storage vessels.
