Dear Reader,

The Department of Mechanical Engineer-

recent years:

■ Its project volume has almost tripled

-

cant simultaneous shift towards public

research funding e.g. through the DFG

and federal ministries.

■ The department sets standards in

have committed ourselves to accept

contributions in peer-reviewed journals

and academic integrity is mandatory

for all doctoral candidates. The result

is far more than 4000 citations in top

international research rankings.

■ Students, staff and faculty members

of the department became much more

diverse: 17% international students

12% international professors

(+100% since 2011).

This success allowed us to attract excel-

lent new colleagues:

■ Prof. Bottasso (from Politecnico di

Milano, 2013): newly founded Institute

of Wind Energy

■ Prof. Koutsourelakis (from Cornell

University, 2012): new Continuum

Mechanics Group

■ Prof. Provost (from Chalmers University

of Technology, 2013): Assistant Profes-

sorship for Safe Embedded Systems

■ Prof. Neu (from Max Planck Insitute of

Plasma Physics, 2013): Plasma Material

Interaction Group

However, one aspect has remained

constant throughout the years: the TUM


covers a very large variety of topics, both

in teaching and research. They range from

the usability of driver assistance systems,

systems to the optimization of production

systems. Despite very diverse approach-

solutions for the challenges of our society:

■ Climate Change and Shortage of

Resources

We work on new mobility concepts,

production processes, which are

development and usage scenarios for

novel, ultra light and strong materials

as well as both the development of

renewable energies.

■ Demographic Change

We study usage habits and develop

robots and assistance systems e.g. for

car and production environments as

well as medical devices and support

systems for the elderly.

■ Urbanization

works on projects related to safe and

extent focused on the development

of small vehicles with very low fuel

consumption or new types of propul-

sion units, and possible new types of

ownership (car sharing etc.).

With this brochure, we present an over-

view of the research at the department’s

institutes. We hope that it helps our

experts for their issues, prospective stu-

dents and junior researchers to identify the

supervisor that suits best her/his interests

and – last but not least – ourselves, the

collegues and partners of this department,

to learn even better about our research

and teaching activities.

TUM Department of Mechanical Engineering


ing of the Technische Universität München

has stood for engineering excellence since

1868. It was founded amongst others by

the pioneer of refrigeration Carl von Linde

and the well-known mathematician and

materials scientist Johann Bauschinger.

It has been the workplace of famous uni-

versity teachers such as Gustav Niemann,

author of the most important authoritative

work on mechanical engineering scientist,

the mechanical engineering August Föppl

and the thermodynamics researcher

Wilhelm Nußelt. The lectures given by Carl

von Linde inspired Rudolf Diesel to make

his groundbreaking inventions. Other

important students of the faculty were the

aircraft designers Claude Dornier and Willy

Messerschmidt.

Today, the Department of Mechanical

Engineering is one of the most successful

engineering faculties of the world. Leading

international surveys rank the TUM


in the world’s top group. This success is

excellence, based on a balanced mix of

publicly funded projects and industrial

cooperation.

innovative environment in a prestigious

university and the Garching campus, one

of the largest and most modern rese-

arch centers in Europe, as well as from

powerful partners in industry with their

headquarters or research centers in and

around Munich.

Young talented people form the core of

the Technische Universität München. Inte-

grated into an environment of experienced

to develop their performance and indivi-

dual strengths. The educational objectives

are expertise, judgment and responsibility.

Mental and emotional creativity, cultural

sensibility and social skills are as import-

ant as technical sovereignty and entre-

preneurial courage. The most talented of

about 5000 students are enrolled at the

from 32 countries.

Department Board of Management


The Department of Mechanical Enginee-

ring is headed by the Dean, two Vice

Deans and the Dean of Studies, elected by

the faculty of the department every three

years. In order to facilitate communication

and to put decisions onto a broader base,

the current Dean, Prof. Tim Lueth, esta-

blished in 2014 a Department Board of

Management, comprising the deans and

representatives of groups of professors,

responsibilities. The Department Board

of Management acts as an advisor to the

-

tal Board (‘Fakultätsrat’) regarding formal

academic matters remains untouched.

The deans are supported by the adminis-

tration of the Department, organized into

four units:

■ The classic administrative duties of

running the department are the

responsibility of the Deanery unit. It

is responsible for the Departmental

Board as well as managing established

positions and personnel matters.

■

in the development of the department,

including appointments, as well as its

resource management.

■ -

ports the Dean of Studies in developing

the curriculum and teaching, and is

responsible for any questions regarding

student matters. The unit also provides

consultation to students and services

for the students’ organization.

■

for all questions relating to examination

matters, starting with the suitability

assessment process for prospective

students and internships through to

examination administration.

reputation.

The linkage of teaching and research

is the basis for our academic training.

All professors at the faculty are proven

trend-setting research projects in the

national and international arena. This way,

in teaching, and our students are given

many different opportunities to participate

in projects, especially through semester

and thesis projects. Together with the

joint Bachelor’s program in ‘Engineering

Sciences’ and a Master’s program in

‘Materials Sciences’ with Paris-Lodron

University Salzburg, it currently hosts

5000 students. The Bachelor’s programs

have a common curriculum and schedule

up to the 4th semester. In the 5th and

6th semesters, students specialize in one

of the ten subject areas with specialized

classes and a Bachelor’s thesis. Each of

the 10 Master’s programs is based on

designed to establish a deeper academic

understanding of the subject concerned.


ing is extensively networked with all

other TUM faculties. In particular, the

teacher training (led by the TUM School of

Education), in the Bachelor’s and Master’s

programs in ‘Chemical Engineering’

(led by the Faculty for Chemistry), in the

Master’s program in ‘Power Engineering’

(led by the Department of Electrical and

Information Technology), in the Master’s

program in ‘Robotics, Cognition, Intelli-

gence’ (led by the Faculty for Computer

Science) and in the Bachelor’s program

in ‘General Engineering Sciences’, as

well as the Master’s program in ‘Industrial

Biotechnology’ (in collaboration with the

Munich School of Engineering). On the

international level, the Department of

Mechanical Engineering participates in

the joint Master’s program in Aerospace

Engineering, a collaboration between the

Technische Universität München (TUM)

and Nanyang Technological University

(NTU), Singapore at the German Institute

of Science and Technology (GIST) in

Singapore.

Research

Engineers enable our society to maintain

its high standard of living for present and

upcoming generations. Future challenges

arise from three global mega-trends:

■ Climate Change and Shortage of

Resources

At the TUM Faculty of Mechanical

Engineering, we are already working on

new mobility concepts and production

processes, which are highly energy and

usage scenarios for novel, ultra light

and/or strong materials, as well as the

-

bustion plants and renewable energies.

■ Demographic Change


Engineering, we study usage habits and

develop robots and assistance systems

e.g. for car and production environ-

ments as well as medical devices and

support systems for the elderly.

■ Urbanization


Engineering, approx. one quarter of the

to ground mobility, now to a large

extent working on the development

of small vehicles with very low fuel

consumption or new types of propul-

sion units, and possible new types of

ownership (car sharing etc.).

The research strength of the TUM Faculty

of Mechanical Engineering derives from a

high degree of both vertical and horizontal

integration of research competencies.

Typically, the institutes address the whole

to application scenarios. The large size

of the institutes allows them to build up

interdisciplinary teams.

Ranking Results


ing is now one of the most successful

faculties of its kind worldwide and has

occupied top places in the main research

rankings for the past several years. The

basis of this success is the publication of

a balanced mix of both state and industry

promoted projects.

QS World University Ranking

by Subject

The QS World University Ranking by

Subject evaluates universities according

to their academic reputation, employer

reputation, number of citations per

publication and h-index. In the past years

our department has been placed among

the top departments in Europe.

Placement Worldwide for Mechanical

Engineering:

TUM Mech. Eng.: 30 (2014)

Previous Years:

23 (2013), 33 (2012), 36 (2011).

U-Multirank

The new international university ranking

system U-Multirank compares universities

and subjects using over 30 different

criteria but does not compile a compre-

hensive ranking list. When considering the

relevant teaching and research metrics of

universities worldwide, the TUM Depart-

ment of Mechanical Engineering occupies

top places among those conferring

doctorates.

THE World University Ranking

The Times Higher Education Ranking

evaluates universities in their specialist

areas according to their teaching and

research performance, based primarily

on citations, teaching indicators and

research volume. According to this

ranking the TUM occupies the top place

among German universities specialising in

engineering science.

Taiwan Ranking

The National Taiwan University Ranking

is based exclusively on the number of

publications, citations and h-indexes –

primarily from the past decade. It therefore

reacts very slowly to the process of

meaning that parts of the Department

of Mechanical Engineering are not

assessed (e.g. process technology and

IGSSE Focus Area ‘Biomaterials’

Living systems are fundamentally different

from state-of-the-art technology. They

can build themselves from raw materials

through self organisation, have the ability

to repair themselves, can reproduce and

then decay back into their raw materials.

Even if the fundamentals of life are not

yet understood, fundamental modes of

precision to the point where they can be

applied in biotechnology and materials

science. Examples of applications include

energy conversion and storage but also

synthesis scenarios similar to those where

enzymes are present.

These process are being thoroughly inves-

tigated as part of the IGSSE Focus Area

by researchers with overlapping expertise

in engineering and natural sciences, with

strong involvement from the Department

of Mechanical Engineering.

Christian Doppler Laboratory

The Christian Doppler Laboratory

investigates the material mechanics of

high performance alloys and is part of

the Institute of Materials Science and

Mechanics of Materials at the TUM. Its

mission is to characterise the material and

component properties as they relate to the

parameters of the manufacturing process.

The primary research areas include the

investigation of mechanical properties,

microstructure development and the

FORCiM3A

CRP is regarded as the ‘material of the

future’ which has so far led to innovations

spanning many sectors. However, one

area in which CRP has not yet found a

foothold is machine and factory construc-

tion. Whilst some successful combinations

of steel and carbon have been achieved

in industry, simply replacing metal with

carbon is not possible. Surmounting this

hurdle will therefore remain at the forefront

of research and development work under-

taken by FORCiM3A. The hybrid joining

techniques i.e. the combination of metal

and CRP is a requirement for thorough

integration into the world of steel const-

ruction and with that the secure joining in

mechanical load scenarios. The advantage

development of residual stress. Research

focused on practical applications as well

as theoretical research for individual plans

manufacturing processes already being

used in industry or whose implementation

is planned in the near future.

of CRP components, other than their light

weight and increased strength, is that they

may last longer and be even more precise.

This is due to their higher material fatigue

resistance when compared to metals. The

tasks of FORCiM3A include designing the

relevant CRP compatible components

(drive shaft, clutch, underlying structure,

spring elements), designing the composite

CRP-metal material used for the compo-

nents and checking its stability against

temperature, aggressive media or frequent

changes in load.

Faculty Graduate Center Mechanical Engineering

The Graduate Center Mechanical Engin-

eer ing was founded in 2009 as part of the

TUM Graduate School. Since the begin-

ning of 2014, participation is an integral

part of all doctorates. It provides training

needs of engineers, promotes networking

of the doctoral candidates within the

faculty and beyond and helps the institu-

-

dards. This highly innovative programme

has been awarded the Best Practice

Award of acatech, the National Academy

of Science and Engineering.

In 2013 and 2014, the Graduate Center

Mechanical Engineering focused on

implementing the recommendation of the

Wissenschaftsrat on quality control of

doctoral studies:

■

are now mandatory. This regulation is

unique at TUM.

■ All doctoral candidates have to be

ment of TUM. This also applies to

external candidates.

TUM Graduate School as a TUM corpo-

rate institution is a unique format to sup-

port doctorate studies. Its basic program

consists of a three-day kick-off seminar at

the beginning of the doctorate, a subject

requirement to publish at least one scien-

community e.g. at conferences. In addition

to the mandatory basic program, the TUM

Graduate School offers additional opti-

doctoral students in their transferable

skills, provide networks, expand their

international and interdisciplinary horizon

and provide career orientation.

Center of Key Competences

The Center of Key Competences offers

students at the Faculty of Mechanical

Engineering, the opportunity to expand

their professional skills in areas that are

nowadays becoming increasingly important

in both the job assessment process and

professional practice itself. Our motivation

is to raise the awareness of developing

engineers with the necessary skills beyond

their usual scope. Providing them with skills

and aptitudes needed to meet adequately

the needs and demands of our highly

are committed to shaping the highest level

curriculum.

In the winter term 2013-14, the Center of

Key Competences introduced a new pro-

gram offering the improvement of certain

key competences to master students.

This newly-created workshop has been

awarded the Ernst-Otto-Fischer Teaching

Award. The module ‘soft skills workshops’

is composed of different workshops rea-

ching from personal to social and metho-

dical skills. Students have the possibility

to choose between diverse workshops,

enabling them to set an individual focus

for their own personal development.

‘Getting to yes – Negotiation at Harvard’,

‘Conversation skills - To communicate

clearly and consistently’ or ‘Intelligent

team’ were only a few workshops offered

in the institution’s curriculum, in 2014.

The Bachelor students who attend our

workshops on social competence topics,

such as presenting, communication,

teamwork, motivation and facilitation,

have again successfully demonstrated

their team skills in project work with their

slogan ‘Simplify your student life’. In win-

ter semester 2014-15, about 800 students

started the tutor workshops receiving an

intensive training in soft skills from the

Center of Key Competences. Furthermore,

many new tutors have been prepared to

act as a trainer for future participants in

the workshops.

Experience-based learning and activity-

oriented teaching form the cornerstones

of our educational guiding principles. For

our training, we use a broad variety of

teaching methods including project work,

problem approaches, role plays or peer

counseling.

Finally, we are very glad to be able to offer

our seminars in our new workshop rooms,

where we have the opportunity to work

closely together as a team.

Shape morphing structures

Different methods are investigated to

handle the design ‘contradiction’ of shape

for morphing but also to be able to take

high loads and keep the required shape

accuracy. This results in special concepts

which combine different materials together

with design concepts based on highly

plate for aircraft control surfaces which

can undergo large in-plane deformations

while also being able to take large bending

loads. This is achieved by a net-type

facesheet and a sandwich core with

certain kinematic degrees of freedom

being manufactured by additive layer

technology.

Further investigations relate to morphing

concepts for aircraft engine nacelles to

while reducing noise. This EU project

MorphElle is led by LLB with KTH

■ A focus in 2013-14 was to improve and generalize methods and appro-

aches for shape morphing structures and to investigate a broader scope

of their potential applications. In the area of design optimization methods,

those combining structural mechanics and crash behavior with manufac-

turing aspects have been developed. The latter is derived from qualitative

information and transferred to numerical models.

■ The focus of the Institute of Ergonomics in 2013-14 was to stabilize

and increase the activities in the area of cooperative interaction between

human and vehicle or human and robots on an global level. This was

possible as national and international funded project proposals were

successful to continue the basic research at the institute funded by DFG.

The second focus was to successfully

reinitiate the engagement of anthropo-

metrics and biomechanics in the area of

production ergonomics.

Furthermore the institute organized the

annual spring conference of the Gesell-

schaft für Arbeitswissenschaft 2014 in

cooperation with the University of Applied

Sciences Munich.

A highlights were the launch of an

individualized 3D printed thumb support

for workers in automotive production.

Advances in data acquisition and data

processing technologies enabled the

development of automated and coop-

erating human machine systems. On one

hand (from technical view) cooperation

and automation are a logical development

of individual assistance systems, while

(on the other hand) from an ergonomics

perspective represent a paradigm shift to

driver-vehicle interaction. This research

group aims at a holistic view of coop-

erative and automated systems whose

functionalities are no longer considered as

isolated assistance functions. Such inte-

grated systems will cause drastic changes

in the tasks of the operator, the man-

machine interaction and the associated

user interface and interaction technologies

in the future.

of socio-technical systems and to provide

a framework for social and legal discussi-

ons, it is important not only to investigate

the functional development or the limits

of automation, but also the exploration of

the potentials and limitations of human

performance in collaboration with the

automation (Haslbeck et al., 2012).

Due to the mass production in the

automotive industry, a high degree of

individual mobility is reached. This mass

mobilization is accompanied by many

economic disadvantages (e.g. increased

number of accidents, environmental

pollution, and longer travel times). These

social costs must be reduced in the future

to maintain or even improve the quality

of it can be done by the driver assistance

systems (ADAS).

Research in this area focuses on the

development and evaluation of existing

and future cooperative driver assistance

systems with the aim to assist the driver in

terms of perception, action planning, and

vehicle interaction. Currently the focus of

the ADAS research is to support the driver

-

turn assistant or systems to reduce fuel

consumption, which are developed under

the projects KOLIBRI or eCoMove. In the

project FAS Akzeptanz (ADAS Accep-

tance), the use and acceptance of driver

assistance systems already in the market

have been examined with the aim of identi-

of display technologies new display options

such as the use of contact-analogue

head-up displays are investigated.

Today, emerging ergonomic problems in

product and workspace designs can be

competitively with digital human models.

The development of biomechanical, phy-

siological, anthropometrical and cognitive

models is the main task of the described

research group ‘Human Modeling’. Bio-

mechanics, physiology and anthropometry

can already be precisely modelled and

Motivational design of learning environ-

ments is a central topic for information

socities. The focus is on learning environ-

ments in school, study and training.

Motivation is an essential prerequisite for

the provision of power and thus has a

direct reference to ergonomics. Schmidtke

(1993, p.112) points out two aspects of

motivation in his model of human perfor-

in the individual, can be supported and

maintained by the motivation to others but

also appropriate organizational framework.

This may concern, for example the design

of tasks in context of school. How can

instructions be designed to stimulate

employment? How can teaching be

organized to motivate students for long

environments in a way that people select,

initiate and/or continue desired learning

activities. The motivation research offers a

variety of starting points.

The main focus of the research on

and understanding of different factors

of human machine interface design and

their effects on usability and user experi-

ence. A basic requirement for consistent

usability and user experience. It is the

foundation for fundamental research

which aims at identifying relevant factors

that can be adjusted to optimize human

machine interaction. This is of importance

because current use of the terms shows

strong ambiguity and overlap, is a source

of misinterpretation and complicates

consistent attribution of design factors.

The research at the Institute of Ergono-

mics mainly consists of experiments with

software on touchscreen devices. For

those design recommendation and style

guides are postulated, evaluated and

combined with the goal of easing human

machine interface design and establishing

well-grounded basic rules. Use cases that

are concerned include production environ-

ments, robot programming, human car

interaction, home appliances. An import-

ant goal of the research is evaluating

general validity of style guides because

recommendations for industrial use and

consumer products differ widely.

The group contributes to a general

propagation of ergonomic product design

by taking part in standard publishing

committees (e.g. VDI 3850).

Concerning the base functionality,

especially in the premium segment, the

current vehicle development is located on

a very high level. There is a trend towards

active design of driving experience and

individual vehicle characteristics. This

trend suggests a user-centered vehicle

development, in contrast to technology-

centered development of the past. The

dynamics of the vehicle as well as its

role in many respects.

Advancements in drive technology, both

in terms of downsizing measures, as well

as to electric drives, raise the question of

how the driver perceives these changes

and how these perceptions affect the

driving behavior. Competing development

goals like sportiness and driving dynamic

are facing demands to reduce CO2-emis-

sions and fuel consumption and affect

the dynamic characteristics of a vehicle

create new demands on the design of

the vehicle dynamics and corresponding

interaction interfaces for the user, which

have to be investigated ergonomically with

One of the main objectives in this research

perceptual performance concerning

vehicle dynamics. Regarding the driver as

the controller in the driver-vehicle control

loop, the basic interactions of vehicle

dynamics and driver behavior (driving

style) are investigated in naturalistic

driving studies. This provides recommen-

dations for the design of future vehicles

and the optimization of driver assistance

systems. A special application for the

longitudinal dynamic tuning can be found

use of the available energy is of great

importance here.

Scaled Wind Turbine and Wind Farm Testing

WEI has developed a scaled experimental

facility, for the simulation of wind turbines

and wind farms in a boundary layer wind

tunnel. This unique facility enables the

conduction of experiments in aeroser-

voelasticity, the study of wakes, machi-

ne-to-machine interactions, and wind farm

control for power maximization and load

mitigation. The facility is highly instrumen-

ted, allowing for the collection of a wide

range of high quality data, both regarding

the machines. Such data can be used for

strategies, as well as the validation of

computational tools. The experimental

-

rational scenarios, and the testing of

different control algorithms used onboard

wind farm. An ambitious plan of extremely

interesting new experiments is planned

lines, including aerodynamics, structures,

dynamics, materials, controls and electrical

aspects. The Institute staff has also a

unique experience in the development of

scaled wind turbine and wind farm models

for wind tunnel testing, which are among

the most sophisticated ever developed for

these applications.

A highlight of the year was the award to

TUM of the organization of Torque 2016,

conference in wind energy worldwide. The

award of the organization of this major

event is an important recognition of the

standing of TUM in the wind energy scien-

of WEI.

Another highlight was the award of a

contract with a major wind turbine manu-

facturer, which aims at demonstrating in

invented by WEI staff. The technology,

which measures wind conditions by using

load sensors available on board modern

wind turbines, enables smart control stra-

tegies of individual machines or complete

wind farms.

Wind Sensing Technology

WEI develops technology for the use

of wind turbines as wind sensors. By

the use of wind turbine response data,

as provided by sensors installed on the

blades or the nacelle, the technology

computes in real-time the wind conditions

at each machine, including wind speed,

wind direction, vertical and horizontal

shear, wake state (full, partial, no wake

interference) and turbulence intensity.

Such technology is capable of providing

detailed information on the wind condi-

tions, in support of improved operation

of each machine or the whole wind farm

through smart control strategies. This may

lead to improved power output and power

quality, and to fatigue load mitigation. The

technology can also be used for very short

time assessment and forecasting of wind

conditions within a wind farm, with impact

on operation and control of the power

plant.

Rotor Loads’

Design of Wind Turbines

WEI works on the development of

automated multidisciplinary design

software tools, with the goal of enabling

the optimization of wind turbines, the

effective exploration of the design space,

the understanding of design trade-offs, as

well as the evaluation of the impact of new

technologies. Advancements in light-

weight rotor design are being investigated

through improvements in the aerodyna-

mics, in the structural design and the use

of smart sensing and control strategies.

By the combination of these technologies,

reduced ultimate and fatigue loads can

be achieved and exploited for reducing

weight and improving performance,

thereby in turn reducing the cost of energy

from wind.

Prof. Dr.-Ing.

Klaus Drechsler

Process Technology for Fibers and Textiles

■ The focus of the Institute for Carbon Composites in 2013-14 was to

establish and strengthen its research program within the four research

groups. The main goal was to explore new ways and possibilities to

reduce the process cycle time and the raw material costs to be able to

implement high performance composite structures in high volume appli-

cations. Different process technologies using e.g. tailored textiles and

advanced matrix systems have been patented. New material models and

process simulation methods have been developed and these were imple-

mented in conventional software tools to enable advanced composites

part and process design solutions.

Projects: MAI ZfP

The leading edge cluster, MAI Carbon pro-

vides the unique opportunity to promote

polymers on a large scale and to establish

them in an industrial environment. Within

the aerospace context, non-destructive

testing has already been used success-

fully for years. However, its usage on

manufacturing and engineering is still

in the early stages. At the same time,

requirements vary widely within the

industrial sectors and therefore require

new approaches to testing. Quantities,

which the aerospace industry produces

in a year, may be produced daily in

automobile manufacturing. The objective

of the MAI ZfP project is to investigate

which testing methods are applicable in

this context. Technical aspects as well as

-

ment. The overall goal is cost reduction in

component production in order to further

increase the competitiveness of German

companies.

Numerous NDT techniques are applied

during the project including ultrasound in

thermography, modal-analysis, video

endoscopy, local acoustic resonance

spectroscopy, acoustic emission and eddy

current.

■ The Space Propulsion Group,

established in October 2011, has

put its emphasis from the beginning

on experimental activities around

different aspects of injection, igni-

tion, combustion, heat transfer and

cooling in oxygen/kerosene, oxy-

gen/methane model combustors

operating at various propellant

temperature, combustion chamber

pressure and operational boundary

conditions. Since last year, these

experimental activities are accom-

panied by a second working group

which has its main focus on model-

ling and simulation in all areas of

liquid propellant rocket engines

technologies.

The main focus of the space propulsion

group lays currently on experimental and

numerical studies on injector/injector and

injector/wall interaction on combustion

performance and heat loads to the

combustor liner in model rocket engines

operating with methane and oxygen within

the DFG funded SFB TRR 40.

tal and numerical study on the acoustic

optimization of the splitter trailing edge is

carried out under laboratory conditions in

including tapered and serrated extensions

have been tested. Only moderate changes

in the measured noise have been found,

despite a reduction of the total pressure

Predictive computational modeling of materials

Prof. Dr. Phaedon-Stelios

Nonlinear Inverse Problems with Applications

in Medical Diagnostics

This projects aims at addressing import-

ant modeling and computational issues

associated with the integration of experi-

mental data with computational models.

Our motivating application is biomaterials

where several studies have shown that the

deformation data can lead to earlier and

more accurate diagnosis of various patho-

computational tools that can lead not only

to estimates of the material properties and

their spatial variability but also to quan-

due to the various sources of uncertainty.

novel dimensionality reduction techniques

which can identify a sparse set of features.

■ The focus of the Continuum Mechanics Group in 2013-14 was the

development of novel models, methodologies and computational tools

for quantifying uncertainties and their effect in materials simulation. In

that respect our work has been directed towards 3 fronts: a) the cali-

bration and validation of computational models using experimental data,

b) uncertainty propagation in multiscale systems, c) Design/control/

optimization of complex systems under uncertainty.

A highlight was the initiation of a project

on ‘Predicitive Materials Modeling’

through the Institute of Advanced Study,

TUM. This project will take place in

the context of the Hans Fischer Senior

Fellowship to Prof. Nicholas Zabaras

by the Continuum Mechanics Group. On

the teaching front, Prof. Koutsourelakis

received the Prize for Best Lecture by the

Applications in Random Media

As the physical problems become more

complex and the mathematical models

more involved, current computational

especially in contexts requiring numerous

input parameters (random variables). A

particularly challenging example of this

involves the simulation of random media

where the description of the underlying

microstructure requires thousands of ran-

dom variables and frequently necessitates

the employment of multiscale techniques.

This project aims at developing probabili-

stic reduced-basis models. These consist

of mixtures of reduced-basis sets which

full-scale runs and can identify the most

important features of the input as well as

the various response regimes associated

with them.

Stochastic Topology Optimization

Topology optimization is a well-establish-

ed discipline in engineering design which

is concerned with the appropriate com-

bination of two or more material phases

in order to achieve optimal aggregate

behavior. Despite the development of

mature computational tools, much less

attention has been directed to problems

where uncertainty in the material pro-

encounter ed in many other areas of mate-

rial design where decision-making under

uncertainty is sought. This project aims

at developing appropriate computational

tools that can handle systems with a large

number of random and design variables.

They are based on a reformulation of

the associated stochastic optimization

problem as well as the development

of variational approximation tools for

identifying lower-dimensional solution

subspaces.

Fundamentals for Experimental Analysis and

Mathematical Modeling of Cellular Networks

Regulation of transcriptional and bio-

chemical processes in a bacterial cell

is essential for surviving in changing

environmental conditions and understand-

ing of the events taking place is pivotal

for using bacteria in industrially interesting

applications. Research of the systems

biotechnology group targets different key

regulatory devices, like the phosphotrans-

ferase system in Pseudomonas putida

or the ComRS two component system in

Streptococcus mutans. The experimental

information derived either in the group’s

own laboratory or by collaboration

partners give rise to mathematic models

that contribute to a better understanding

of cellular processes.

Another research focus lies on the

establishment of a co-culture between

a photosynthetically active organism

extruding sugar molecules together with

heterotrophic organisms capable of pro-

ducing industrially interesting compounds.

To this end a photobioreactor is employed

which allows cultivation and collection of a

vast amount of data used to describe the

population-based variations in the overall

process.

Metabolic Engineering of Halophiles, towards Halomonas

The project focuses on ectoine production

by the halophilic bacterium Halomonas

not only the interest of ectoine as a novel

also the potential of H. elongata for further

biotechnological applications. Ectoine

is a highly soluble organic molecule that

belongs to the group of compatible solu-

tes and is found as an osmotic agent in a

Biological Hydrogels as Selective Diffusion Barriers

Biological hydrogels such as the extracel-

lular matrix or mucus allow only certain

particles or molecules to pass. Many other

particles including many pathogens are

trapped in the hydrogel matrix and thus

prevented from penetrating the hydrogel

with high temporal resolution, we aim at

deciphering the underlying physical prin-

biological hydrogels. We use reconstituted

model systems whose composition we are

able to precisely control.

■ The mission of the biomechanics group is to

1. discover new, to date unknown material properties of biopolymer

materials;

2. identify the microscopic principles that govern those material

properties (mechanics, permeability);

3. apply those principles to synthetic polymers to create biomimetic

materials for biomedical applications.

The studied biomaterials range from

very soft gels such as vitreous humor

and mucus to stiff tissues such as

cartilage. Accordingly, a broad variety of

characterization methods is used in the

Biomechanics Group. Biomedical ques-

tions addressed include tattoo removal,

prevention of microbial infection and

reduction of wear in osteoarthritis.

In our highly interdisciplinary projects, we

work together with chemists, pharma-

cists, physicists and medical researchers

to generate, characterize and optimize

existing and novel biopolymer-based

materials and to test their applicability for

biomedical or industrial purposes.

Highlights in the year 2014 were the

development of a thermoresponsive

wound gel with autogelation properties

and the generation of an engineered

hybrid-mortar material with water-repellent

properties. We now aim to further opti-

mize both materials, test them in realistic

settings and launch corresponding patent

applications.

Nuclear Reactor Safety Analysis

Nuclear safety research is very import-

ant to support the safe operation of

nuclear reactors. It mainly involves the

development and use of methodologies

and physical and mathematical models

integrated in sophisticated computer

programs, which can accurately simulate

the behavior of nuclear systems under

operation and off-operation conditions.

At the Institute of Nuclear Engineering,

this research is carried out through

projects which focus on the development

of methodologies and models for state-

of-the-art computer codes capable of

reproducing the thermal-hydraulic and

neutronic behavior of current and future

nuclear reactor designs.

is the accurate simulation of physical

processes of importance for the safety of

the plant. The complete reactor dynamic

behavior is analyzed by coupling these

codes to codes that calculate the neutro-

nic behavior of the reactor core.

Statistically based uncertainty analy-

sis methodologies are also used and

developed at the Institute of Nuclear

Engineering in order to quantify the relia-

bility and accuracy of the results provided

by the safety analyses.

Projects

■ CIWA – Condensation induced water

hammer (BMBF)

■ Modeling of the behavior of steam

turbines in NPPs (BMWi)

■ Simulation of loss of coolant accidents

in PWRs (E.On)

■ Development of a PWR plant model for

ATHLET (E.On)

■ Development and assessment of

methodologies for the analysis of neut-

ron oscillations in PWR fuel assemblies

(BMWi)

■ THINS – Uncertainty analysis applied to

liquid lead cooled reactors (EURATOM)

■ Development of a methodology for

local BWR stability analysis (StMWFK)

■ Development of neutronic and thermal-

concept (Molten Salt coolant, E.On)

■ Model development for bubble for-

mation and behavior with CFD codes

(ANSYS-CFX and OpenFOAM, E.On)

■ The focus of the Institute of Nuclear Engineering in 2013-14 was on

the development of experimental data and physical models for two-phase

CFD codes applied to nuclear safety, the development of uncertainty

methodologies in multi-physics and medical applications, the initiation

of research lines on nuclear fuel behavior and on advanced molten salt

reactor based concepts, and the development of a methodology for local

stability analysis of nuclear reactors.

NURETH-15 (S. Al Issa) and best paper in

ICONE-22 (L. Holt).

The methodologies are applicable to

full plant simulations, based on system

analysis codes, or in-core local simu-

dynamics (CFD) codes. Their purpose

Experimental Two-Phase Flow Thermal-hydraulics

The use of CFD codes is becoming more

accepted in nuclear safety applications

because of the detailed description of the

-

ponents. However, CFD codes still need

substantial improvements in the modelling

mass and heat transfer processes, which

are very important during accident and

accident mitigation situations in determi-

ning the safety of the plant.

The laboratory for experimental thermal

hydraulics has been designed and built

with the aim of producing detailed data for

the validation of modern Computational

Fluid Dynamics codes.

Two very important gas-liquid transport

phenomena of safety implications in loss

of coolant accidents (LOCA) have been

analyzed, namely condensation of large

bubbles under atmospheric pressure con-

ditions and the interfacial friction during

a Konvoi-PWR.

Medical Applications

An important area of nuclear engineering

is related to the development of medical

applications for radiation. Radio-

dia gnos tics and radiotherapy are modern

tools at the disposal of medical professio-

nals that allow more precise diagnostics of

many illnesses, the research of metabolic

activity and the palliative or curative treat-

ment of a wide variety of tumors. Modern

radiotherapy procedures make intensive

use of advanced computer programs to

calculate dose distributions of photons,

electrons and neutrons in treatment

planning before the actual irradiation, so

that doctors can better estimate the out-

come of the therapy. Monte Carlo-based

methods for particle transport are at the

forefront of the most advanced therapy

techniques. At the Institute, we develop

methodologies based on these methods

that can take into account the associated

uncertainties and produce more accurate

estimates of dose distributions. They can

contribute to better treatment plans being

delivered to patients.

Fuel Behavior Analysis

The neutronic, thermal and mechanical per-

formance of nuclear fuel is fundamental for

nuclear power reactors in order to safely

and economically. Moreover, the behavior

-

cantly impact on the severity of its progres-

sion. For these reasons, the analysis of fuel

behavior is an important part of nuclear

safety and of fuel design and operation.

At the Institute of Nuclear Engineering

we carry out research on the modeling

of fuel and in the validation of computer

codes that simulate its behavior under a

wide range of operating and off-operating

conditions. Experimental data provided

by our collaborators in European research

organizations are used to improve and

develop mechanical and thermal models

for uranium and thorium based fuels. These

models are then implemented and tested

in the code TRANSURANUS developed

by the Institute for Transuranic Elements

(ITU) in Karlsruhe. Another research line

is focused on coupling this code with

neutronic and thermal-hydraulic analysis

codes to create a multi-physics computa-

tional platform capable of perform ing very

detailed neutronic, thermal and mechanical

fuel performance analyses.

Projects

■ Development of models for the predic-

tion of thorium-based fuel (E.On)

■ Coupling of TRANSURANUS with

DYN3D (E.On)

■ Experimental and analytical analysis of

the performance of nuclear fuel under

Various tungsten materials and alloys are

The inventory of hydrogen retained in the

Since the temperature-dependent outgas-

the experimental results can be integrated

into predictions of the hydrogen isotope

balance of future power plants. One of

the objectives is modelling of structural

changes and erosion to obtain a better

estimate of divertor component lifetimes.

Making Brittle Material Pseudo-ductile:

Its combination of unique properties

makes tungsten a promising candidate for

use on directly plasma-facing components

its inherent brittleness and corresponding

lack of damage tolerance considerably

limit its use.

A possible approach to a solution is to

incorporate in the material structures with

resistance to failure. This externally

implementation of this concept.

In the research group this idea was

cular the possibilities of how humans can be integrated into the objectives

of Industry 4.0. In addition, the further development of electromobility at

This will be achieved through the develop-

ment of an open-innovation platform,

which would enable the integration of

the creativity and innovation potential of

customers in the product development

process. One important research con-

tent is the planning and control of an

autonomous production that is based on

cyber-physical systems, where the custo-

mer-innovated products will be produced.

It is linked directly to the open-innovation

platform to ensure that the customer is

always well informed of the feasibility of

his design, and at the same time receives

a delivery schedule and cost estimate.

The expected results offer companies a

very innovative business model with the

opportunity to position themselves on the

market with customer-innovated products,

and to strengthen Germany’s position as a

business location in the long term.

multibody dynamic simulations.

In order to use the power of modern

multiprocessor computers, we develop

solution algorithms based on the para-

digm of domain decomposition: if the

problem is partitioned in different domains

(regions of a structural model), the solution

is found by iterating on the interface

solution while the behavior in the domains

are computed independently by different

processors. We improve those methods

to make them robust for real-life problems

that include for instance high heterogenei-

ties, or complex dynamics.

ed with these test rigs.

The tooth root load-carrying capacity of

Components: Synchronizers

In vehicle manual and DCT transmissions,

the gears are changed by the actuation

of tooth clutches. Synchronizers are

the dog clutch, which is necessary for

high energy and power density for the

friction material and the lubricant, low

wear and high long-term stability of the

friction behaviour, as well as convenient

gear shifting are important development

objectives.

Components: Multidisc Clutches

Oil-lubricated multidisc clutches and

transmissions for gear shifting and for

frictionally engaged power transmission.

Multidisc clutches are characterised by a

high power density in a compact design.

They can be actuated under load and

difference in rotational speed because the

and service-life behaviour depend to a large

extent on the load and the friction system.

The mechanical and thermal load of

the clutch which occurs during the shift

operations are not constant in practical

application, but vary due to different

shifting conditions.

The friction, wear, drag loss and service-

life behaviour of oil-lubricated multidisc

clutches are examined with the FZG

multidisc clutch test rigs. Accordingly,

material, groove pattern, volume of oil

and drag loss behaviour is possible.

Topics: Load-Carrying Capacity

A large part of the research topics deals

with the load-carrying capacity of the

components cylindrical, bevel, hypoid and

worm gears, as well as multidisc clutches,

synchronizers and rolling element bear-

ings. For gears, fatigue lifetime is often

limited by pitting, micropitting, wear,

The results of many research projects

at FZG are gained from theoretical and

experimental investigations. In order to

develop a method, simulation models

are usually developed and validated by

extensive experimental studies.

Topics: Dynamics/NVH

Internal additional dynamic forces, which

change tooth stress and affect noise

behaviour of the transmission, occur in

running transmissions. The NVH behaviour

of gears is becoming more and more

important due to the increased customer

expectations regarding noise. The additi-

onal dynamic forces must be considered

during development of high-performance

transmissions. Experimental and theoreti-

cal investigations are used to determine

these additional dynamic forces and to

develop and improve analytical calculation

models for the simulation of excitation and

vibration behaviour.


Topics: Rolling Element Bearings

Rolling element bearings are used for the

guidance of axles and shafts, whereby

they absorb radial and/or axial forces and

simultaneously allow the rotation of the

shaft or of the mounted components. Thus

to a minimum. With the bearing power

loss test rig of the FZG, the bearing losses

under load or no-load can be measured

for various bearing arrangements. These

results then can be used for the validation

of the common calculation methods for

the determination of the bearing losses.

account, the resulting gearing losses can

be determined.

Wear and frictional behaviour of bearings

depend on the lubricant used. Evaluation

of lubricant samples is possible on the

nation of anti-wear capacity.

Topics: Fatigue Life Analysis

In the context of fatigue life analysis, the

fatigue life of gears can be determined

under time-varying operating conditions,

e.g. for vehicles and industrial appli-

cations. Load, temperature and speed

spectra, which are determined from

for operation in the test rig, are used to

investigate this fatigue life. In pulsators or

load application the load can be varied

during the operation according to these

load spectra. Thus fatigue life investiga-

tions are possible.

research is increasingly focusing on the

investigations on oil- or grease-lubricated

cylindrical gears are carried out with the

operating conditions.

In parallel, oil distribution and no-load

losses are determined by means of CFD

simulations and validated with results of

experiments.


Topics: Alternative Materials, Composites and Coatings

high material damping has a positive

effect on the noise behaviour, the low

mass and mass inertia can be distinguis-

hed in transmissions, which are subject to

high accelerations. The main advantage

of plastic gears is their dry run capability.

thermal viewpoint. Loss-optimised gears

are made of steel and the wheel body is

made of plastic, combines the advantages

it is possible to manipulate the dynamic

■ The focus of the Institute of Automation and Information Systems (AIS)

in 2013-14 was to establish novel methods, approaches and tools to cope

Research focus of the Institute of Automation and

Information Systems

Due to the ever-increasing complexity and

dimensions in industrial automation, the

distribution of intelligence and automa-

tion tasks among system components

is necessary. The research topic’s main

challenge is to explore the advantages of

distributed systems such as enhanced

reliability, reusability and modularity con-

trary to the main disadvantages e.g. the

extended need of communication. Current

researches deal with the implementation

and optimization of distributed systems

itself regarding functional and non-

functional requirements. Several aspects

of distributed systems are addressed.

At AIS, notations, methods and tools are

developed for the design of agent-

oriented automation software for ma -

chines and production plants in both the

manufacturing and process automation

domain. By that, the design, implemen-

Therein, innovative approaches for

Industrie 4.0-capable systems have been

developed to support both the enginee-

ring and the operation of cyber-physical

production systems. Among others,

technologies and methods applied at AIS

are agent-based and service-oriented

approaches as well as modeling ap -

proaches – both semi-formal and formal

– to provide novel concepts for designing

distributed cyber-physical production

systems. Especially methods and tech-

nologies from the computer science

domain are used and adapted to address

the challenges in automation and in the

machine and plant manufacturing domain.

Moreover, taking the interaction with

humans and machines into account, the

methods and approaches developed at

AIS are analyzed and evaluated in real-

world scenarios and together with experts

from industry.


tation and operation of distributed, intel-

ligent cyber-physical production systems

be increased and, thus, acceptance in

industry can be enhanced.

In 2014, AIS was able to establish a joined

demonstrator ‘myJoghurt’ that shows the

capabilities of agent-based approaches

in the context of Industrie 4.0. In collabo-

ration with 5 German institutes, this open

research demonstrator and the agent-

based architecture have been developed

and established. Together with internatio-

nal robot companies the same architecture

and platform was applied for a collabora-

tive production. Using simple scenarios,

the coupling of locally distributed produc-

tion systems in an automatic and dynamic

manner can be demonstrated.

investigates concepts and methods that

address the model-based development

well as continuous (chemical) production

processes. A special focus is put on the

interdisciplinary character of the design of

industrial automation systems as well as on

increasing the transparency and handling

automation systems’ design and operation.

In addition, concepts for the integration of

energy aspects with the modeling of the

operating performance (behavior) of pro-

duction systems and automotive systems

are explored. Therefore, different modeling

languages are investigated and adapted

for these different classes of mechatronic

systems and corresponding editors and

tool environments have been developed.

For the coupling and synchronization of

heterogeneous models, model transforma-

tions as well as formal methods for con-

sistency checking have been investigated

and successfully applied. Concerning the

transfer of research results into industrial

of research is the successful realization of

approaches for model-based automation

software development, code generation,

and model-based debugging as well as

software testing inside a development

environment for automation software that is

widely used in industry.

Today’s challenges cover the extraction of

information is collected by data aggrega-

not only characteristics indicating a fault,

but also symptoms that indicate causal

impact of a fault within a system. Based

on this analysis the system can provide

recommendations to the operator on how

206 Institute of Metal Forming and Casting

Institute of Metal Forming and Casting

Prof. Dr.-Ing.

■ The Institute of Metal Forming and Casting focuses on the three pro-

duction processes: casting, blanking and sheet metal forming. In 2013-14

over 40 scientists worked at the institute on research projects which vary

from fundamental research to industrial application.

Casting

The research group ‘Casting’ focuses on:

■ Molding materials

■ Tool technology for gravity and high

pressure die casting

■ Continuous casting

■ Residual stresses and material charac-

terization

In the casting industry, especially in the

area of light metal casting, inorganic

bind er systems replace the existing orga-

nic binders. This provides economic and

environmental advantages but requires a

rethinking of well-known processes.

Another trend in the automotive industry is

the use of die cast structure parts replac-

ing sheet metal parts. Due to their highly

complex geometries extensive research in

Continuous casting is a well-known

production process. Our research here

focuses on the developement of a cont-

inous compound casting process which

saves production steps.

The neutron source FRMII situated near

the institute offers enormous possibilities

in materials science. For instance the

development of residual stresses during

the cooling process of a cast part or the

phase transformation kinetics in austem-

pered ductile iron is investigated in-situ

using neutron diffraction.

A highlight was the in-situ temperature

measurement in the shearing zone during

the blanking process using the thermo-

electric potential between tool and work

piece. Another important milestone was

the realization of a continuous composite

casting process.

The institute organized several confer-

ences and workshops in 2013-14 of

which the 6th Forming Technology Forum

(Herrsching) and the 2nd utg-NSMLAB

workshop (Seoul, Korea) were highlights.

Virtual production and simulation

New technologies and

casting



metal forming


In the automotive industry highly-tensile

steels are increasingly used. For the

improvement of the edge-crack sensi-

tivity, especially for these steels broad

research efforts are made. The blanking of

organically coated metal sheets is widely

of oxidative wear of the tools and corro-

sion-resistance of the sheared edges.

Projects

■ Burr-free sheared edges (AiF)

■ Development of a software-tool for the

robust design of the shearing process

of metallic multilayer materials without

additional lubricant (DFG)

■ Dry punching of coated metal sheets

(AiF)

■ Improvement of the formability of shea-

red egdes of iron-manganese metal

sheets through optimized punching

parameters (AiF)

■

die clearance on tool wear (FOSTA

Stahlanwendung e.V.)

■ In-situ temperature measurement while

shearing (DFG)

■ Lubricant-free forming by affecting

thermoelectric currents (DFG)

■ Optimization of die connections in

punching tools (AiF)

■ Process enhancement for the applica-

tion of high-tensile steels (AiF)

The research group ‘Blanking’ focuses on:

■ Enhanced understanding of blanking

processes

■ Wear of blanking tools

■ Optimization of materials and part-

quality

In the sheet metal industry, blanking

is a widely used process in all kinds of

enterprises. To ensure the economic and

technological forthcoming, fundamental

necessary.

Recently a method to measure the

temperature in the shearing zone during a

blanking process in-situ and and instanta-

neous was established.

To improve the lifetime of punching dies,

the connection to the tool was the subject

of large analyses. Acoustical adjustment

of the dies could lead to higher durability.

Another project focuses on how to diminish

wear on the tools of a stamping process

-

ping process the die clearance is altering,

which can rise wear. Hence another project

is dealing with the issue how to increase

the stiffness of the stamping tool to prevent

altering of the die clearance.

Burr at blanked products is an undesirable

The research group ‘Metal Forming’

focuses on:

■ Machinery

■ Processes

■ Geometry of components

■ Materials

Increasing product standards and inten-

sifying cost pressure reveals the need for

improvement of machines and processes.

In the case of forming technologies, the

latter accompanies research activities in

materials. Therefore, new or existing

processes are developed to be able to

meet industrial requirements.

Developing new drives for presses or

investigating the dynamics of forming

characteristics and to adapt the process

to the increasing requirements. Processes

like automated driving or roller clinching

reduce process times and increase the

automation level. Research activities

addressing the geometry of components

ing, smaller reachable tolerances and less

and optimization of material properties

are topics essential for the comprehen-

sion and improvement of every forming

process.

Combustion Technologies – CFD-Simulation

– Emission Reduction – Injection Technology

The reduction of engine emissions and

fuel consumption are drivers for the

improvement of combustion technology.

Engines for gasoline, diesel and natural

gas are developed and build at the

Institute and are available for industrial or

public-funded research projects.

A key competence for the realisation of

our engine concepts is the application

of professional CFD simulation software,

which is used to predict and optimize the

gas exchange phase, in-cylinder swirl,

tumble or turbulence and the phases

of fuel injection, mixture formation and

combustion.

Simulation results are used to design

improved geometries of the combustion

chamber or injector nozzles and are

then validated on one of our 13 engine

test benches. Engine out emissions

are measured by means of up-to-date

FTIR technology and a modern particle

■ The focus of the Instiute of Internal Combustion Engines in 2013-14

was to connect theoretical and experimental methods of thermodynamic

research on combustion processes. Optical measurement techniques

challenges for the construction of optically accessible engines.

operation of a new 0.5 l single cylinder

research engine with full optical accessi-

bility through the piston bowl and piston

liner. The engine offers fully variable valve

train and various gasoline combustion

modes including conventional port fuel

injection and direct injection with spark

ignition or homogenous charge com-

pression ignition (HCCI). The results are

used to validate CFD calculations of gas

to predict the in-cylinder processes. This

helps to save time and costs for future

developments.

The launch of a new 5 l optical engine

operated with natural gas is scheduled for

2015.

Friction Measurement – Tribology – Engine Mechanics

Piston, piston rings, liner and lubricating

oil form a complex tribological system. A

large range of relative velocities, pressures

and temperatures have to be covered

while the combustion chamber has to be

sealed reliably. Friction has to be reduced

as far as possible to avoid mechanical

losses.

A new research engine containing a

liner method has been developed at

the Institute and has been successfully

to measure the friction forces between

liner and piston precisely and can be used

to optimize geometries, materials, and

surface treatments.

A second research engine has been built

at the Institute that contains several sen-

sors to determine secondary movements

of the piston and the piston rings as

well as the thickness of the oil layer in

the friction combination with the liner.

This equipment allows to optimize the

tribological system and helps to reduce

the introduction of oil into the combustion

chamber or the transport of fuel into the

lubricating oil.

Alternative Fuels – Emission Measurement

– Energy Management

Fossil fuels are becoming more and

more scarce and european CO2 saving

global warming. Combustion engines can

reduce their output of GHG emissions and

contribute to the transition towards alter-

of energy conversion and by exploiting

CO2 neutral primary energies. Sustainable

biofuels and synthetic fuels can replace

of clean combustion.

A detailed screening of various oxygen

containing synthetic fuels was carried

out at the Institute and oxymethylenether

(OME1) was found to burn without particle

emissions in a diesel engine even under

unfavourable operating conditions.

Modern methods for the measurement of

ultra-low particle emissions are needed for

this and other advanced engine concepts.

Cooperating closely with the industry,

we help to improve such measurement

techniques.

LISA – Space Communication Technologies

On-orbit servicing and space debris

removal missions with tele-operation, a

key research area of LRT, require trans-

mission of multi-channel video signals

and spacecraft sensor information which

can exceed data rates of 20 Mbps. These

communication scenarios require, among

other novel technologies, especially high-

gain antenna systems. The Light-weight

Intersatellite (Link) Satellite Antenna (LISA)

R&D projects at the LRT respond to this

need. All LISA antennas are designed

antennas. The latest high-gain Ka-band

LISA antennas are implemented as novel,

copper-galvanically manufactured horn

antennas with a low-loss waveguide dis-

tribution network. Copper-galvanic allows

■ In 2013-14, like the years before, the Institute of Astronautics focused on

the development and design of satellite and space exploration technology.

In particular:

■ Real-time teleoperation for on-orbit

servicing

■ Inter-satellite link communication

■ Life support systems of habitats and

space suits

■ CubeSats for technology in-orbit

■ High velocity impact physics

■ Micrometeoroid and space debris

simulation

space activities, where satellites or other

spacecraft in space are serviced (such

as refueling, maintenance, or upgrade) or

deorbited by a servicing satellite if defunct.

This service can be accomplished by an

operator on ground teleoperating a robot,

cameras, or else on the servicing satellite in

real-time. As a highlight in 2013-14, the ins-

titute built a large simulation environment,

called RACOON-Lab, with the dimensions

6 m x 10 m x 5 m. In this laboratory the

proximity operations of the two satellites

can be simulated, while the operator is

located in the institute’s mission control

center or anywhere on earth. Realistic tele-

operation is performed by real-time satellite

links via a ground station on top of the the

institute’s building and a relay satellite in

geostationary orbit.

For the renewed interest of NASA and

ESA in human space exploration an

adapted and a highly reliable life support

system (LSS) is mandatory. In 2013-14 the

institute of Astronautics has improved the

modeling tool V-HAB for arbitrary LSS,

a LSS dynamically over a long period of

time. The modeling not only includes the

life support components but in particular

living and working in this LSS.

projects. The LISA high gain Ka-band

antennas, implemented in a 40 x 40 cm

reference model, provide a narrow beam

angle of 1.6O, thus requiring precision

orientation between sending and receiving

station. Especially in highly agile on-orbit

servicing missions with tumbling, non-

cooperative targets, fast precision 2-axes

mechanical steering mechanisms are

required. The project LISAMS+ develops

a 2-axes mechanical steering mechanism,

the corresponding high gain copper array

antenna and a novel two-channel, low-

loss, Ka-band waveguide rotary joint with

research partners from industry and the

University of Applied Sciences Munich.

In addition to the developed and inves-

tigated mechanical pointing mechanism

(LISAMS+), an option for a mecha-

nism-free electric steering solution is

investigated in the project (LISAES) for

geostationary orbit with partners from

industry and the Technical University

Darmstadt. Using liquid-crystal phase shif-

ters in the waveguide distribution network

of the direct radiating antenna array would

employ superposition of phase-shifted

signals from each horn to provide an

apparent beam steering without mechan-

ical components.

RACOON – Real-time On-Orbit Teleoperation

The Racoon Lab features a satellite

proximity operations simulation environ-

ment. The lab consists of a hardware

in the loop simulator that represents

position and attitude of two spacecraft in

close proximity (e.g. for rendezvous and

docking maneuvers). The lab provides

realistic lighting conditions and hardware

sensors to simulate realistic sensor data

for the development of new spacecraft

technologies (e.g. control algorithms). The

real-time capabilities allow the inclusion of

a human operator into the control loop for

research in the area of human spacecraft

interaction. This includes user studies for

optimal human machine interface design

or operator workload evaluation.

Development


To fully assess the long-term operation

and stability of life support systems (LSS)

for exploration missions, static analysis

mass balances and selecting technologies

based on average performance values is

a fast and proven method for feasibility

studies but, once the system design

becomes more detailed, certain aspects of

the system behavior cannot be captured.

To provide this additional information, the

Institute of Astronautics has developed

the Virtual Habitat or V-HAB. V-HAB is

a MATLAB®-based simulation software

which enables the dynamic simulation

of life support systems, the humans

occupying the simulated habitat and the

development step was completed in early

2013 when the simulation system was

validated by comparing data from a virtual

model of the International Space Station

with the completion of a dissertation on

the rationale and development of V-HAB

bei Dr. Markus Czupalla [1]. Four other

dissertations where derived from this initial

work, each adding to V-HAB’s already

broad spectrum of capabilities. One of

these dissertations was also completed

in late 2013 by Dr. Phillip Hager [2] who

contributed a dynamic thermal simulation

tool to capture the thermal dynamics of

moving objects (e.g. astronauts, rovers) on

the lunar surface. The three other disser-

tations, which are still in progress, cover

the simulation of portable life support

systems for space suits, the addition of

performance shaping factors to the human

model and the optimization of LSS archi-

tectures containing both physico-chemical

as well as biological components.

In addition to the previously mentioned

dissertations, the group published its work

at the annual International Conference

on Environmental Systems (ICES), the

preeminent conference for the life support

system community. The peer-reviewed

papers were well received and the already

strong ties to LSS experts from NASA and

industry could be expanded. In total the

and three at ICES 2014, all of which can

be found in the publications list. In addi-

tion to these conference papers the group

also continued the extensive in volve-

ment of students in the actual research,

producing a total of 17 Bachelor’s theses,

9 Master’s theses and 5 term papers in

2013 and 2014.

■ The focus of the Institute of Materials Science and Mechanics of

cessing-microstructure-properties-relationships of load bearing materials

concentrating on metallic materials such as high strength steels, titanium,

nickel, aluminum and tungsten alloys. Research is performed employing

theoretical, numerical and experimental techniques with equal import-

ance. The associated State Material Testing Laboratory serves as import-

ant interface to industry with respect to research oriented (off-routine)

testing of materials. Since 2006 WKM hosts the Christian-Doppler-

Laboratory for Material Mechanics of High Performance Alloys (CDL,

headed by Dr. C. Krempaszky).

Current research activities concentrate on

residual stresses in gas turbine compo-

nents, their machining via electrochemical

metal dissolution or selective laser sinter-

ing, hot isostatic pressing of precipitation

hardening aluminum cast alloys, surface

implants, thermal fatigue of semiconduc-

tor devices, plasticity and failure of high

strength sheet steels and fracture mech-

anics of tungsten alloys as plasma facing

components of fusion reactors.

The Institute applied successfully for

tape casting (together with Siemens).

Deformation and Failure Mechanisms of Thin Sheet

Materials for Automotive Applications

The desire to produce higher strength

steels with formability greater than those

obtained in conventional controlled rolled

high strength microalloyed grades has

led to the development of microstructure

strengthened steels. These include dual

phase (DP) ferrite-martensite steels,

ferrite-bainite steels, transformation

induced plasticity (TRIP) steels, consisting

of ferrite, bainite, and retained austenite,

complex phase (CP) and martensite

steels.

The research activities carried out on this

topic concentrate on different grades

of industrially produced high strength

steels. Formability of the chosen materials

is characterized in uni- and multi-axial

deformation experiments. A systematic

evaluation of accompanying microstruc-

tural investigations allows a deepening

of understanding of the mechanisms

controlling and limiting formability. Special

attention is paid to hole expansion testing,

Residual Stress Analysis

Residual stresses typically act on dif-

ferent length scales depending on the

mechanisms they originate from. They

material and component performance.

As a consequence of compressive

macroscopic stresses near the surface of

a component the accumulation of micro-

cracks can be reduced and the life time of

the component can be extended. Further-

more, macroscopic residual stresses are

responsible for distortions of the compo-

nents during machining. In the worst case

the desired dimensional accuracy of the

component can no longer be achieved.

The main focus in this topic is placed

on the development and application of

experimental methods (such as hole

drilling techniques, dissectioning methods

and neutron diffraction) for residual stress

analysis as well as the theoretical estima-

tion of the evolution of the residual stress

state during the different/critical stages

of the production process (e.g. forging/

forming, heat treatment) using adequate

semianalytical and numerical modeling

approaches.

Projects

■ Residual stresses in geometrically

complex structural parts (CDL)

■ Development of an advanced design

and production process of high tem-

perature Ni-based alloy forgings (EC)

■ Eigenspannungsbedingter Bauteil-

(Heidenhain)

becoming an increasingly important

method in describing the formability of

high strength steels.

Besides experimental investigations on

the relationship between microstructural

aspects and parameters describing

formability, micromechanical modeling

approaches are worked out to assess

the formability of virtual microstructures,

thereby reducing development and testing

costs considerably.

Projects

■ Micromechanical modelling of the

formability and failure of DP steels (CDL)

■ Effect of edge preparation in hole

expansion testing (CDL)

■ Development of an instrumented hole

expansion set-up (CDL)

■ Bainite formation in low alloyed thin

sheet steel with increased boron

content (CDL)

■ Strengthening of DP steels by grain

size control

Durability Analysis of Integrated Circuits

One of the key factors for the rapid

technological progress in our time is the

development of integrated circuits (ICs)

- a wiring of electronic components on a

single semiconductor substrate.

Growing demands on performance and

durability of ICs require an understand-

ing of possible failure mechanisms. An

important cause for damage to ICs arises

from thermo-mechanical loads of the

involved materials as a result of current

pulses. The mismatch in thermal expan-

sion between the conductor paths made

of aluminum and the surrounding inter-

layer dielectric leads to stresses which

cause crack initiation and, consequently,

short circuits and the loss of functionality

of the assembly.

Throughout their service life electronic

components undergo millions of load

cycles, so that an experimental life cycle

analysis during the development process

is costly and may not be feasible.

For this purpose simulative life time investi-

gations are conducted at WKM which take

into account the microstructure, the grain

orientation and the temperature dependent

anisotropic visco-plastic material behavior

of aluminum. The small dimensions of the

large span of time scales, involving current

pulses of a few milliseconds and a service

time of several years, put high demands on

the material model.

Electrochemical Machining

For aircraft engine components exposed to

high temperatures and dynamic loadings,

Ni-based super alloys are used owing to

their high strength at elevated tempera-

tures and high creep resistance. For the

machining of these components, however,

conventional methods such as milling are

cost-intensive due to excessive tool wear.

Electrochemical machining (ECM) and pre-

cise electrochemical machining (PECM)

rely on the controlled anodic dissolution

of the workpiece material, thus serving

as low-tool-wear and cost-effective

alternatives to milling since no mechanical

contact is established between tool and

workpiece.

Challenges related to ECM and PECM

conditions for the machining of materials

of interest, maintaining process stability,

and process simulation.

In cooperation with MTU Aero Engines

and the Institute of Automatic Control,

ECM- and PECM-related research

activities at WKM include investigation

of high-rate anodic dissolution of poly-

and single-crystalline Ni-based alloys,

development of a control system for the

PECM process, and simulation-assisted

tool shape design.

Bioreactors

The effective generation of process

information represents a major bottleneck

in microbial production process develop-

ment and optimization. An approach to

overcome the necessity of a large number

of time- and labor-consuming experiments

in lab-scale bioreactors is miniaturization

and parallelization of stirred-tank reac-

tors along with automation of process

management.

Highlight

The license holder 2mag AG, Munich,

Germany starts commercialization of the

bioREACTOR48, a parallel stirred-tank

bioreactor system developed at the

Institute of Biochemical Engineering.

Projects

■ High throughput reaction engineering

for enzyme production

■ Continuous fermentations in miniatur-

ized stirred-tank reactors

■ Micro-dosing device and micro-sensors

for pH control in parallel bioreactors

■ Reaction engineering studies of butanol

fermentation with Clostridium aceto-

butylicum strains in parallel stirred-tank

reactors

■ Industrial biotechnology (‘white biotechnology’) makes use of micro-

organisms or enzymes for the industrial production of chemicals like

-

and fuels.

Renewable resources are the favored raw

materials for industrial biotechnology. The

Institute of Biochemical Engineering is

dealing with all aspects of the technical

use of biochemical reactions for industrial

biotechnology. The research focus is on

bioreactors and biocatalysis, as well as

on (gas-) fermentation and bioprocess

integration.

Biocatalysis

High demands are set upon the optical

purity of building-blocks for the pro-

duction of pharmaceuticals. Due to the

high natural selectivity of biocatalysts,

biocatalysis appears as favorable method

for the purpose of chiral syntheses. Major

research interests are the development of

new reaction engineering methods and

devices to intensify whole cell biotransfor-

mations of hydrophobic, unstable and/or

toxic substrates up to the technical scale.

Highlight

The whole-cell biocatalytic process,

developed at the Institute of Biochemical

Engineering for the production of a cholic

acid derivative (pharmaceutically used for

the non-surgical dissolution of gallstones)

was transferred to the industrial scale

by the cooperation partner PharmaZell

GmbH, Raubling, Germany.

scale enzyme membrane reactors

■ Surface functionalisation of nano-scale

Fermentation

Making use of microorganisms for the

production of chemicals from renewable

resources is the core of industrial biotech-

nology. Reaction engineering analyses of

metabolically optimized producer strains

and metabolic analyses of microorganisms

in production processes are necessary for

scale.

Gas Fermentation

Bioprocess Integration

Special microorganisms are able to

produce chemicals with carbon dioxide

as sole carbon source. Energy may be

supplied from sunlight or hydrogen gas.

Bioprocess engineering is the key to

make use of these energy sources for the

microbial production of chemicals from

carbon dioxide on an industrial scale.

Highlight

microbial production of acetate from CO2

and H2 with Acetobacterium woodii resul-

ting in the highest product con centrations

reported so far (> 60 g L-1).

In many cases, downstream processing

is by far the most cost-intensive step of a

bioprocess. Often, multiple-step bio-

separations are required yielding rather

low product yields.

Therefore, existing bioseparation pro-

cesses should be improved and combined

to reduce the number of process steps.

The focus is on bioprocess integration of

fermentation/biocatalysis and downstream

processing (and follow-up chemistry).

400 students follow the Institutes courses and seminars every semester.

Teaching is focused on industrial and clinical needs primarily.

The Institute represents two main and

interacting focus areas:

impact on biocompatible materials

engineering, mainly process engineer-

ing of materials and designing of tools,

implants made from non-metallic orga-

respective testing, including biotoxicity

testing and the development of tissue

engineering systems.

B) Polymer engineering and tooling is

intensively represented with an outstan-

ding polymer technology infrastructure.

All industrially relevant processes are

presented in teaching, micro-injec-

tion molding is a key research area.

This includes the entire designing

and manufacturing process of tools,

devices and machines, i.e. the most

compact injection molding machine

worldwide has been designed and

manufactured by us.

Research currently concentrates on three

main areas:

1) Hemocompatible and hemoactive

surfaces, biosystems, devices and

implants and corresponding relevant

manufacturing processes,

2) Functionalized polymeric implants

through process engineering,

3) Improved polymers, process tooling

-

cation or materials reinforcements, all

strictly oriented towards high socioeco-

nomic impact.

Research Example Autosterility: Fundamentals and

Experimental Examination of Polymer Processing

Technology

Sterile medical single use products are

medicine. To date, the manufacturing and

sterilization processes are separated steps

within the production of sterile medical

products. This research work focuses on

the autosterile polymer molding without

subsequent sterilization. Sub-steps of the

manufacturing chain are investigated by

validation methods for sterility with focus

on the autosterile production. An auto-

sterile injection molding concept has been

Research Example Hematogenous Growth Factors:

Isolation, Application and Biological Activity

Hematogenous, autologous platelet deri-

ved growth factors represent a promising

new wound care concept. Optimized

preparation of platelet concentrate from

patient‘s whole blood and an innovative

hand-held device for application to wound

surfaces is developed. Subsequently

the biological activity is evaluated in

vitro. Correlations between preparation

process, state of platelet activation and

the proliferation-promoting effect of the

concentrates are worked out.

Perspectives for production

Prof. Dr.-Ing.

Michael F. Zaeh

Machine Tools

In the context of the Machine Tools work-

ing group, we are dealing with the analysis

and optimization of cutting production

systems. The studies focus on the exami-

nation of the dynamic machine behaviour,

thermal factors. Thanks to the consider-

ation of aspects of instrumentation and

control, the study horizon is expanded

beyond purely mechanical structures to

the complex overall mechatronic system.

Modern simulation methods such as the

-

lation, are used for these examinations to

detail. By coupling these with developed

cutting-force models, interactions

between structure and process can be

demonstrated. Furthermore, energy-

related aspects that are also interacting

with the machine properties, are in the

focus of the investigations. The energy

more and more a competitive factor.

■ In 2013-14, the focus of the Chair for Machine Tools and Production

Engineering was on the machining of materials and the processing thereof

into composite materials. With emphasis being placed on light-weight

design, new production processes were researched and further optimized

using suitable simulation models.

With regard to light-weight structures that

are optimally adapted to the respective

loads, bionic approaches such as the

adaptation of natural honeycomb and grid

structures have proven to be particularly

suitable for achieving the desired goals in

the area of additive production processes.

With the objective to use the suitable

material in any location, the research

is focusing in the area of joining and

separating technology on producing joints

of different metals or metal to plastics that

so far could not be produced. Thermal

simulations for joining processes have

proven their particular potential, which

allow innovative production processes

with respect to the production of lithium-

ion cells.

For the last 20 years, the Application

Center Augsburg has transferred the new

production technologies to the industrial

production, from which mainly small and

medium-sized companies in the Bavarian-

A highlight was the inauguration of the

research production line for lithium-ion-

cells. Together with press representatives

and all involved project partners, the iwb is

Joining and Cutting Technology

generally go through several joining and

separating steps that are particularly

relevant for the high quality and economic

success of the production. The working

group Joining and Separating Technology

deals with this focal point and is working

on innovative production processes. The

aim of the research and development

activities is the optimization of quality- and

sound production processes. To this

end, machinery with modern laser beam

sources, friction welding equipment and a

wide range of measuring and analysis

instruments is at the disposal of the

working group. The competences of the

working range from process analysis,
