Once again an eventful year is drawing to an end for the professorship of Machine Elements and Product Development. A lot of important scientific and industrial projects could be finished and new projects could be acquired in 2018. Furthermore the chair of the professorship was successfully transferred from Prof. Leidich to Prof. Hasse. New exciting
On 14th and 15th November the project committee for shaft-hub-connections of the “Forschungsvereinigung Antriebstechnik e. V.” met in Clausthal-Zellerfeld in more and more wintry weather at the foot of the Harz mountains. The Chair of Machine Elements and Product Development was represented by all employees of the Competence Center „Shaft-Hub-Connections“ and presented the current research
The newly acquired laser confocal microscope from Keyence enables high-resolution detection of surfaces down to the nanometer range (5nm) in a short time. The microscope offers two different acquisition modes. The surface can be acquired by conventional light microscopy using focus variation or laser confocal. The laser confocal mode provides even higher quality measurement data
On 11.10.2018 Mr. Müller defended his thesis and was rewarded for his outstanding performance! The work on the topic „Statistical analysis of a standardised test method for determining static friction values“ was able to validate the usage of the standard normal distribution to the test method as expected on the basis of a large random
With the aim to “forge” the future of our professorship MP, the research associates leaded by Prof. Hasse met for internal conference near Annaberg-Buchholz. The work was targeted at the promising science topics, which will be pursued in next research period. In connection to the mining tradition of the region of Ore Mountains, the team
We are pleased to welcome Mr. Silvano Oehme to the professorship by 01.09.2018 as a scientific assistant. As a student, Mr. Oehme has done research at the professorship in the fields of mechanical design in CAD and simulation of rolling bearing migration. In the tribology research group, Mr. Oehme will now work out the development
On August 20th, 2018 the student A. Herde successfully defended his master thesis. His topic „Design Methodology for Complex Machine Systems“ is based on the development methodology of VDI 2221 and attempts to further systematize the design step. In the lively discussion, he was able to convincingly demonstrate that he succeeded in achieving this goal in the
From 17th to 20th of July Lukas Suchy and Sebastian Vetter from the Professorship Machine Elements and Product Development took part in the „18th International Conference on New Trends in Fatigue and Fracture“ in Lisbon. Participants consisted of scientists and industry representatives from more than 20 nations. The conference offered the platform for controversial discussion
On July 5th, 2018 the time had come again. Professor Hasse, the staff and the student assistants of the Professorship Machine Elements and Product Development celebrated last year’s successes in traditional summer barbecues between Halls G and F. In addition to nitrogen-cooled beer, delicious BBQ burgers from the grill were provided for the physical well-being.
The 8th VDI symposium on shaft-hub connections will take place from 26 to 27 November in Stuttgart. Under the motto „Dimensioning – Production – Applications“, the conference offers a suitable platform for innovations as well as the technical exchange between experts and colleagues. The professorship of machine elements and product development, as an expert in
On 27 and 28 June 2018 Prof. Hasse, Björn Prase and Marko Ebermann were at the Otto von Guericke Universität in Magdeburg for the Project Support Committee for Plain Bearings (FVV/FVA). The event was hosted by the Institute for Machine Design (IMK) under Prof. Barthel. On the first day, in addition to the intensive networking during the
On Monday, 18.06. at 11:30 a.m. the first meeting of the project group „3D-Printer“ will take place. The project group offers interested students the opportunity to become more familiar with a 3D printer and the development of models. Besides the structure and function of the 3D printer, the way from a drawing to a 3D
We are pleased to welcome Mr. Kristian Mauser at the Professorship Machine Elements and Product Development as scientific assistant on June 1, 2018. Mr. Mauser had already worked at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg under the direction of Prof. Hasse and is now continuing his research in the field of „compliant mechanisms“ at the TU Chemnitz.
On 15th and 16th May the conference “Welle-Nabe-Verbindungen” of the Forschungsvereinigung Antriebstechnik e. V. was held in Chemnitz. More than 40 participants discussed the current state of research projects and the potential for further research. At the end of the first day a guided tour through the test field was organized, which was well received
On 01.05.2018 Alexander Nowak started his work at the Professorship Machine Elements and Product Development as a research assistant. Mr. Nowak – who has already worked at the Friedrich-Alexander-University, Erlangen-Nuremberg under the direction of Prof. Hasse – will process the research project „vibration reduction by energy transfer using shape adaption“ as part of the DFG
On 02. April 2018 Prof. Dr.-Ing. Erhard Leidich passed on the baton to Prof. Dr. sc. ETH Alexander Hasse after 25 years as head of the design engineering professorship. This ensures a continuous transition between research and teaching. In addition to the successful research areas such as tribology and strength, the professorship is also expanded
