Project / Bachelor / Master thesis: Product development of a vibration-based condition monitoring system

The Institute of Machine Elements and System Engineering researches the fundamental structural and tribological behavior of machine elements and represents them 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 drive technology. The developed models are also used to research and develop methods of Model Based Systems Engineering as a central element of future inductive product development processes.

Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance are technological innovations and key factors for sustainable success in various industrial sectors. By continuously monitoring the condition of machines and systems and predicting possible failures, companies can minimize production losses and avoid consequential damage to other components. A vibration-based condition monitoring system is to be developed as part of the student research project. The methodological development follows VDI2221 and VDI2206 and is based on the fundamentals of a product development process.

Tasks:

• Literature research on the state of the art and research
• Product development according to VDI2221 / VDI2206
• Verification and validation of the developed prototype

Requirements:

• Interest in experimental tests and condition monitoring
• Initial experience in scientific writing is desirable
• Independent and reliable way of working
• Good knowledge of German and English

We offer:

• Currently relevant and future-oriented problems
• Flexible organization of the work focus
• Intensive support in the form of weekly regular meetings
• Pleasant working atmosphere
• Immediate start or by arrangement
• Possibility of continued employment following the final thesis

I will be happy to discuss any unanswered questionsabout your thesis in a personal meeting.

We look forward to your application by email:
