The aim of the “Gulliver” tomography portal is to use X-ray technology to gain a better understanding of the load-bearing and deformation behavior of components under damage progression. For the first time, it enables investigations to be carried out on components with real dimensions under increased loads with high resolution. Funded by a large-scale equipment initiative of the German Research Foundation, the tomography portal is a central component of the Civil Engineering Equipment Center (BIG) at the RPTU in Kaiserslautern.
The “Gulliver” tomography portal is being developed by OHB Digital Connect GmbH in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institutes, Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (IIS) and Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics (ITWM).
