The Chair of Engineering Design warmly congratulates Mr. Christoph Zirngibl on successfully completing his doctoral examination (Dr.-Ing.) with the overall grade “very good”. In his dissertation, entitled “Design of Mechanically Joined Structures Using the Example of Clinching Similar Materials”...

In modern lightweight design, mechanical joining processes such as clinching are becoming increasingly common. However, variations in tooling, process parameters, and material properties can cause significant deviations in clinch joint properties. In a joint study, the Chair of Engineering Design (...
