The Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics, Ernst-Mach-Institut, EMI, is one of the seventy-six member institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, the world’s leading applied research organization. Fraunhofer EMI’s heritage, and an enduring core competence, lies in understanding the physics of high-speed, transient processes in order to derive solutions for applications in industry and for public authorities. EMI adopts interdisciplinary and comprehensive material strategies to investigate crash, impact, and shock-wave phenomena by experiment and simulation. Central to these strategies are the modeling, simulation, testing and quantification of resilience. Building on and extending its heritage, EMI has a further core competence in applying this resilience engineering expertise to improve the security and resilience of processes and systems. Society profits from optimized systems in the areas of defense, security and resilience, automotive, space, aviation and sustainability.
