The 18th International DESIGN Conference was held from May 20-23, 2024 in Cavtat, Dubrovnik, Croatia. 433 participants were able to gain an insight into exciting research results and current hurdles in the field of "DESIGN" through a variety of sessions with a total of 305 contributions, exciting wo...

Due to cost pressure in industrialized countries and the resulting need to automate standard and routine activities, the use of AI methods is also steadily increasing in product development. Such methods are often integrated into the development process as black boxes. As a result of this implementa...

Yannick Utz joined the Digital Engineering department as a research assistant in the middle of may. Prior to that, he studied in the master’s program in mechanical engineering with a focus on manufacturing engineering at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. He also completed his pr...

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....

Felix Pfister joined the research group for machine elements and tribology as a research assistant at the beginning of May. Previously, he studied mechanical engineering, specializing in computer-aided product development, at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. As part of his s...

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, th...

In times of climate change, education for sustainable development (ESD) plays a central role in student education. We are therefore delighted to be playing a leading role in the new lecture series "(FA)U for Sustainability". The cross-faculty lecture deals with topics such as health and resource use...

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 D...
