KTmfk at the 64th German Tribology Conference
The Gesellschaft für Tribologie e.V. (Society for Tribology) again organized this year’s Tribology Conference, already in its 64th year, which took place from September 25th to 27th in Göttingen. This time the KTmfk was represented by Mr. Neusser and Dr. Bartz. Mr. Neusser gave a presentation on the topic of knee arthroplasty entitled “Amorphous carbon […]

Successful participation at the 34th DfX-Symposium 2023 in Radebeul
This year’s DfX Symposium took place on 14. and 15.09.23 in Radebeul. The KTmfk contributed to the successful event with several presentations and posters. Thematically, the contributions included our research in the fields of continuous simulation of continuous fiber-reinforced composites, user-centered product development, ontology-based knowledge representations for decision support, and characterization of fiber-reinforced plastics. The […]This year’s DfX Symposium took place on 14. and 15.09.23 in Radebeul. The KTmfk contributed to the successful event with several presentations and posters.

Integration of postural control in human biomechanical simulations
In this systematic literature research we identified different approaches to simulate postural control. The different approaches are discussed regarding their applied biomechanical models, sensory representation, sensory integration, and control methods in standing and gait simulations. For postural control optimal control methods like linear quadratic regulators and model predictive control methods are used less, when models’ […]In this systematic literature research we identified different approaches to simulate postural control.

EVOLONIC develops drone for early detection of forest fires
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) and the TechStart (together with ZOLLHOF), where they built up […]

Required assisting torques by an ankle-foot orthosis for patients with foot drop
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 with the support required […]

On the residual strength of long-fibre reinforced thermoplastics after fatigue damage
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 thermoplastics. To expand this approach to long-fibre-reinforced thermoplastics, the decrease in mechanical properties is […]It is undeniable that mechanical properties, such as stiffness or residual strength of composites, are adversely affected by fatigue damage.
