    摘要: A bumper for a vehicle, including at least one profile, in particular an open profile, from a first material, having at least one ribbed structure formed from ribs from a second material, the ribbed structure being disposed along the profile at least in portions and at least in portions being connected to the profile in a force-fitting, form-fitting and/or materially integral manner in order for the profile to be reinforced. The bumper meets the requirements set in the event of collision loads and can be optimized in terms of load is achieved in that the ribbed structure is formed from fiber-reinforced plastic and has at least one first region and one second region, which differ from one another in terms of at least one property.

    摘要: A tower for a wind turbine may include an upper tower portion and a lower tower portion. The upper tower portion may include a tubular tower, and the lower tower portion may include a lattice tower. To improve ergonomics and work safety and make it possible to obtain a structural design with optimized forces, the lower tower portion may include a central tube positioned centrally within the lattice tower. Further, the central tube may have a smaller diameter, at least in certain portions, than at least part of the tubular tower of the upper tower portion. The tower may also include a transition piece between the upper tower portion and the lower tower portion. The transition piece may join the tubular tower of the upper tower portion and the central tube of the lower tower portion.
