KTmfk
Welcome to our website!
At the Chair of Engineering Design, we research, improve and validate new processes, methods and tools to support demanding development- and design activities. We are active in the fields of virtual product development and design methodology, machine elements and tribology as well as lightweight design. Through our research and teaching activities, we create the foundation for innovative, new or optimized products and thus contribute to maintaining and strengthening the industrial base in Europe. We would like to invite you to learn more about us during your stay on our website!

The student working group EVOLONIC at FAU has developed a drone that will detect forest fires at a very early stage in the future, saving valuable time for firefighting. Participants from EVOLONIC attended the KTmfk elective course (Prof. Wartzack) Concept Development of Innovative Products (KIP) an...
Patients suffering from foot drop show a disturbed gait pattern and have a higher risk of stumbling and falling. A passive ankle-foot orthosis is usually used for treatment. In order for the orthosis to treat the patient in an optimal way, the applied support of the orthosis must be in accordance wi...
It is undeniable that mechanical properties, such as stiffness or residual strength of composites, are adversely affected by fatigue damage. In order to quantify and predict this damage influence, Witzgall and Wartzack developed a calculation approach for the subgroup of short-fibre-reinforced therm...
Klara Feile joined the research group for machine elements and tribology as a research assistant at the beginning of September. Previously, she studied mechanical and medical engineering at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Within student theses as well as a student assistant at...
During the summer semester, Prof. Moh'd Sami Ashhab, an expert in mechatronic systems in mechanical engineering at Hashemite University, visited KTmfk for a three-week research stay. In addition to initiating joint research projects, he was able to use the time to share his knowledge with the mechan...
The 24th International Conference on Wear of Materials (WOM) was hosted in Banff, Canada from April 16-20, 2023. The conference is focused on advances in understanding the fundamental and applied aspects of wear and friction of materials. Unique to the conference is the paper submission process, whi...
The International Society of Posture & Gait Research (ISPGR) World Congress took place in Brisbane, Australia from 09 – 13 July. Our institute was represented by a team member (Julian Shanbhag) from the research area user-centered design, who presented our current research in the field of postur...
