Shaft-scar connections
Investigation of the influence of novel manufacturing processes on frictional and positive force transmission in shaft-hub connections.
Rope drives
Investigation of innovative ropes and the complex interaction of rope and winch in multi-layer wound rope drives.
Clutches
Investigation of non-shiftable and automatically shifting clutches to increase overall efficiency and service life.
Design and process-oriented execution of process engineering machines with strength, material and production-oriented design.
Machine acoustics
Methods for modeling and evaluating acoustic product properties and design rules for designing low-noise products.
Pressure chamber bearings
Numerical and experimental investigation of axial force compensation in helical gears by means of pressure comb bearings.
Research projects
Ongoing and completed, publicly funded research projects at the Chair of Machine Elements and Engineering Design
