The potentials of digital engineering for SMEs are undisputed. Unfortunately, there is no current overview of already realised applications, best-practices and use-cases of these methods in mechatronic product development, which currently leads to comparatively little usage of these methods. In our ...
The 28th congress of the European Society for Biomechanics took place in Maastricht (Link) from 09 - 12 July. Our institute was represented by 3 members from the research area user-centered design. They presented the current research results of the KTmfks in a presentation (Mr. Scherb) and a poster ...
After more than 6 years of joint research work in two funding phases, the DFG-funded research group FOR2271 "Process-oriented tolerance management based on virtual computer-aided engineering tools" was concluded on 04.07.23 in the context of a colloquium. The KTmfk worked on a subproject and was spe...
The 5th Summer School Tolerance Management was hosted in Erlangen in presence this year. This promoted, above all, the personal bilateral exchange and again offered a good platform for an intensive dialog between education, research and industry. With this year's focus on digitalization and data-dri...
As an alternative to marker-based motion capture systems, IMU-based systems can also be used to collect motion data. These systems allow flexible motion collection without nearly any restriction regarding the environment. However, one limitation is that there is no universal way to transfer IMU data...
The European Group of Research in Tolerancing (E-GRT) met for the 5th time, this time in Bordeaux, France. The E-GRT consists of an association of institutes from France, Sweden, Italy, England and Germany with the aim to improve networking in the field of "Tolerancing". The focus of the event is th...
The German Research Foundation (DFG) has extended its funding for the Transregional Collaborative Research Center TRR285 "Method development for mechanical joinability in versatile process chains" for another four years. The focus of the research group is on the development of scientific methods and...
While the functionality of a product is often taken for granted nowadays, good usability (i.e. simple, effective and efficient product use) and emotionally appealing product design (i.e. satisfaction, aesthetics and emotional fulfilment) are important components of the user experience. However, usab...
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 ...
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 a...
