Anschauungsobjekt in der Lehre: Die 4 Euler-Fälle Ein für Ingenieure wichtiges Instrument sind Fachwerke, welche generell eine Struktur aus miteinander verbundenen Stäben darstellen. Daher sind Fachwerke und ihre Besonderheiten ein zentrales Element in der Lehre der technischen Mechanik, in der das LTM sowohl im Bachelor- als auch Masterstudium Maschinenbau einen großen Beitrag in der Ausbildung junger angehender Ingenieure leistet. Im Rahmen…

After the planar biaxial testing machine from MTS was delivered in December 2020 and subsequently installed by us in the Y hall, we were able to take delivery of another biaxial testing machine from MTS on February 5, 2021. The Bionix 370.02 axial-torsional testing machine with a maximum axial load of 25 kN complements the LTM laboratory (in building P4) with the two existing uniaxial testing machines with 10 and 100 kN maximum load by the…

In December 2020, the LTM, as part of the ILH, happily received a long-awaited addition. It is a planar biaxial testing machine from the company MTS. Together with the chairs LWK, KTP-V and LUF, a large-scale equipment application was submitted to the DFG in 2018, which was positively evaluated by the DFG in 2019. Thus, the financing of the required 350,000 euros by the state, federal government and the applicants' own contributions was secured…

This year we also managed to hold the annual "Spaghetti Bridge Building Competition" in a slightly different form than usual. Unfortunately, due to Corona restrictions, students were unable to attend in person, so the event was made available digitally via live video conference to interested viewers. In the competition, the students had to fulfill the following conditions of participation: Build a bridge from commercial pasta and hot glue with a…
