Congratulations to Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Benjamin Schleich who completed his habilitation in the field of engineering design and virtual product development. The title of his thesis is „Automatic information processing in tolerance management in the context of industry 4.0“. The supervisors were Pro...

E-Mobility and lightweight design pose new challenges in the development of vehicle chassis, especially in terms of ensuring durability. Therefore, in collaboration with our industry partner MAN Truck & Bus SE in Munich, an approach to design real hardware test rigs in a virtual environment has ...

The ongoing optimization of the KTmfk's lectures represents an important focus of our work. The positive development of the evaluation results shows that our efforts are successful with the students. In the evaluations of the finished summer semester, this time all classes of the KTmfk were rated "v...

Marc Gadinger joined the Lightweight Design Group as a research assistant in October. He previously studied mechanical engineering at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. In his scientific work and as a student research assistant at the KTmfk, he already studied the fatigue behaviour o...

Understanding the operating conditions of rolling bearings is the basis for safe operation and predictive maintenance to save resources and costs. However, in many cases it is difficult to implement the necessary sensors in rolling bearings, e.g. due to the requirement of space neutrality. In collab...

The fact that the lecture does not have to be purely theoretical is shown by the diverse demonstrators that are integrated into the courses at KTmfk. Technology to touch - this is how machine elements become accessible. The KTmfk is therefore particularly pleased about the generous donation of vario...

This year's strategy meeting of the KTmfk took place from September 19 to 22 in Riederau at the Ammersee. The first days were devoted to the organization of the department, the handover of tasks and the review of goals, as well as the identification and development of new research projects. In small...
