Successful project completion of the BFS research association Customised Digital Engineering for Bavarian SMEs (FORCuDE@BEV) in March 2023
The aim of the research association was to research customized digital engineering methods for the development of the electric powertrain, especially in Bavarian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In cooperation with the Institute for Engineering Design and CAD at the University of Bayreuth (Prof. Dr.-Ing. S. Tremmel), the Gear Research Center at the Technical University […]

Start of the DFG project to develop predictive models for deviated thermo-elastohydrodynamically lubricated contacts (DeviaTEHD) in February 2023
In the context of resource minimization and the development of energy-efficient and wear-resistant technical products, the reduction of friction losses in lubricated contacts of machine elements is of great importance. These losses mainly depend on the lubrication condition, the component geometry as well as the type of motion of the system. However, significant friction losses […]

ZIM-Project „LightConstruct“ started on 15.05.2023!
Topology optimization is crucial for the realization of lightweight and efficient structures. In doing so, this type of optimization helps to reduce material consumption and minimize environmental impact. Much lighter components are achieved through multi-material topology optimization, when optimized materials are assigned to different areas of a component. The current industry-oriented research project “LightConstruct” is […]Topology optimization is crucial for the realization of lightweight and efficient structures.

Symbolic Parametric Representation of the Area and the Second Moments of Area of Periodic B-Spline Cross-Sections
The calculation of moments of area is one of the most fundamental aspects of engineering mechanics for calculating the properties of beams. While circles, rectangles, ellipses and their combinations, can be described symbolically and thus derivable, these symbolic expressions are missing for freeform cross-sections. In the recently published article Symbolic Parametric Representation of the Area […]The calculation of moments of area is one of the most fundamental aspects of engineering mechanics for calculating the properties of beams.

KTmfk shows the influence of incorrect, idealized ankle axes to the design process of orthoses at CMBBE23 in Paris
Structural optimization programs are used at the KTmfk during the design of ankle foot orthoses using lightweight construction methods. For this purpose, the load cases must be known exactly. The loads that occur are currently determined within musculoskeletal human model simulation programs using preconfigured, generic skeletal models. However, in these the joint axes are often […]

Design and Additive Manufacturing of a Passive Ankle–Foot Orthosis Incorporating Material Characterization for Fiber-Reinforced PETG-CF15
The individualization of medical aids – in particular orthoses – is becoming increasingly important due to growing market trends. With the help of additive manufacturing processes, patient-specific properties can be taken into account quickly and flexibly. In particular, the combination of fiber-reinforced with design methods of topology optimization leads to extremely lightweight structures, which can […]The individualization of medical aids – in particular orthoses – is becoming increasingly important due to growing market trends.
