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...

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-cen...

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...

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...
