Our profile

The Institute for Machine Elements and System Development researches the basic structural and tribological behavior of machine elements and depicts this in experimentally validated model descriptions. These model descriptions are used to analyze and design the functional, loss and noise behavior of entire technical systems with a focus on the drive technology of wind turbines and mobile machines. The results are computational and constructive designs of concrete technical solutions including proof of the required system properties on large test benches. Numerous experiences with such model-based solution finding through to the conception of configurable products enable the MSE to research and develop methods of model-based systems engineering as a central element of future industrial product development processes.

Ensuring functional safety throughout the product life cycle while limiting maintenance costs and increasing the service life of machines and systems are modern industrial challenges.

The tribology department of the MSE researches the degradation behavior of machine elements. The focus of the research is on application-oriented basic research. The main topics are the interactions between the lubricant and the surfaces of the lubricated components, the wear behavior of machine elements and the changes in lubricants due to use. Another focus is the condition monitoring and service life prediction of machine elements. Methodologically, these topic complexes are examined through close interaction between experiment, simulation and analysis.
