Once again excellent machine elements teaching at the KTmfk
The ongoing development of KTmfk lectures in line with current technical challenges and the needs of students is an important focus of our work. The fact that this is once again working well is shown by the repeated award for our “Machine Elements II” course, which received excellent evaluations from students last summer semester and […]

KTmfk collaborative contribution as cover story of Applied Sciences
The latest publication of the KTmfk with the project partners from Hamburg (LaFT) and Karlsruhe (IPEK) was selected as the cover story for the March issue of the journal Applied Sciences. The publication addresses a co-simulation model consisting of a musculoskeletal human model, an exoskeleton model and a power tool model, which can be used […]

Accelerating sampling-based tolerance-cost optimization
For sampling-based tolerance-cost optimization, a high number of function evaluations is unavoidable, which can lead to long calculation times. To overcome this shortcoming, the latest KTmfk publication presents an innovative strategy that combines metaheuristic optimization and adaptive surrogate modeling. The tolerance analysis is substituted by a surrogate model that is iteratively remodelled with intermediate optimization […]For sampling-based tolerance-cost optimization, a high number of function evaluations is unavoidable, which can lead to long calculation times.

Start of the DFG-funded project on cross-domain optimisation for the automated adaptation design of mechatronic adjustment systems in February 2024
Mechatronic systems have become increasingly important in recent years and have become an integral part of our lives today. They are characterised in particular by the combination of the fields of mechanics, electrical engineering and information technology. To date, the development of mechatronic systems is complicated, partly due to the consideration of interdisciplinary system interrelationships […]Mechatronic systems have become increasingly important in recent years and have become an integral part of our lives today.

Exchange on the further development of teaching with Siemens Education
On March 12, Shannon O’Donnel, Global Strategy Leader Siemens and Martin Koczmann, Academic Project Manager Siemens visited the KTmfk. The aim of the meeting was to exchange knowledge and experience with best practices on the use of digital tools in mechanical engineering education at FAU and the use of other Siemens tools in teaching. Dr. […]
