A sensorimotor enhanced neuromusculoskeletal model for simulating postural control of upright standing
The human’s upright standing is a complex control process that is not yet fully understood. Postural control models can provide insights into the body’s internal control processes of balance behavior. Using physiologically plausible models can also help explaining pathophysiological motion behavior. In this paper, we introduce a neuromusculoskeletal postural control model using body sensor feedback […]The human’s upright standing is a complex control process that is not yet fully understood.

Start of the BFS project for the development of a time-efficient method for the determination of the performance of rolling bearings with deviations (PEDRO) in May 2024
Geometric deviations in technical products are unavoidable due to process fluctuations in manufacturing and assembly processes. Geometric deviations also occur in rolling bearings, which can negatively influence the functional properties of a rolling bearing (e.g. friction or acoustics). To date, the influence of these deviations on these properties requires complex and time-consuming multi-body simulations. The […]Geometric deviations in technical products are unavoidable due to process fluctuations in manufacturing and assembly processes.

Product and process design synthesis of additively manufactured mechanisms
Knowledge from the AM manufacturing process about how certain process variables affect the product requirements must be considered early on in the product design phase. In its latest publication, the KTmfk has presented a method for simultaneous product and process design synthesis in the sense of Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), whereby this knowledge can […]

Suitability of linear actuators for load-adaptive, redundant motion generation
The technical implementation of the load-adaptive behaviour of the muscles of the human musculoskeletal system offers great potential for minimizing resource and energy requirements in many systems. However, a lack of knowledge about suitable linear actuators is a major reason for the inadequate technical implementation of this biological principle. With a focus on artificial muscles […]

KTmfk @ CADFEM Conference 2024
At this year’s CADFEM Conference 2024 in Darmstadt, 700 international representatives from science and industry met for professional exchange and networking. Keynotes and top-class user presentations with topics from everyday engineering and simulation were held in the “Darmstadtium” conference building. The KTmfk was represented by Patrick Steck and Johannes Mayer with a lecture on “Multi-body […]At this year’s CADFEM Conference 2024 in Darmstadt, 700 international representatives from science and industry met for professional exchange and networking.

Study on self-efficacy published in Research in Engineering Design
The exploratory study focusses on the design of physical products and their potential to empower users by promoting positive emotions and subjectively perceived self-efficacy. By investigating the usability and emotional appeal of one particular product – a walking aid – researchers at KTmfk and Fraunhofer IIs wanted to find out how these elements can contribute […]
