Der Chair for Wind Power Drives erforscht das Verhalten von Antriebssystemen in modernen Multimegawatt-Windenergieanlagen. Forschungsziele sind die Steigerung der Verfügbarkeit, der Robustheit und der Energieeffizienz der Windenergieanlagen (WEA) sowie die Senkung der Stromgestehungskosten. Hierzu werden Software-Entwicklungswerkzeuge und moderne Systemprüfstände im Verbund eingesetzt.

Eine Möglichkeit zur Senkung der Stromgestehungskosten stellt die Reduktion von schadensbedingten Stillstandzeiten dar. Das rotorseitige Planetenträgerlager neigt zu vorzeitigen Ausfällen aufgrund von Ringwandern. Ringwandern beschreibt die Relativbewegung eines Lagerrings zu seinem Fügepartner aufgrund von akkumuliertem Mikroschlupf. Derzeit ist kann die Kritikalität von Ringwandern nicht ausreichend genau bewertet werden, da keine etablierten Simulations- und Testmethoden existieren. Zudem sind aktuelle Messmethoden unzureichend zur Bewertung der Kritikalität von Ringwandern. Eine Möglichkeit, diese Lücke zu schließen, ist die Entwicklung eines Testkonzepts auf Basis akustischer Messmethoden (z.B. AE, SAW), da diese Methoden tribologische Prozesse auf mikrokopischer Ebene erfassen können. In vorherigen Arbeiten konnte die Detektierbarkeit von Ringwandern mittels akustischer Messmethoden bereits gezeigt werden. Dieses Konzept soll nun um weitere Einfluss- und Auswertegrößen erweitert werden.

Aufgaben:

  • Erweiterung eines bestehenden Ringwander-Komponentenprüfstands
  • Erstellung eines Testplans und Durchführung von Versuchen
  • Versuchsauswertung und Analyse der untersuchten Einflüsse

Voraussetzung:

  • Interesse an praktischer Arbeit am Prüfstand mit Wälzlagern und Messtechnik
  • Motivation zu selbstständigem und eigenverantwortlichem Arbeiten
  • Bereitschaft sich eigenständig in neue Themengebiete einzuarbeiten
  • Vorkenntnisse im Bereich Messtechnik, Messdatenauswertung oder Arbeit am Prüfstand vorteilhaft

Wir bieten:

  • Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten in einem hoch motivierten, interdisziplinären Team
  • Angenehmes Arbeitsklima und intensive Betreuung
  • Flexible Arbeitszeiten und Möglichkeit zum Arbeiten im Homeoffice
  • Kontakt zur Industrie und Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Forschungsstätten
  • Möglichkeit zur anschließenden Tätigkeit am Institut als studentische/wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft
  • Sofortiger Beginn möglich oder nach Absprache

The Institute for Machine Elements and Systems Engineering researches the fundamental structural and tribological behavior of machine elements and represents this in experimentally validated model descriptions. These model descriptions are used to analyze and design the functional, loss, and structural behavior of complete technical systems, with a focus on drive technology. The developed models are also used for the research and development of methods in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) as a central element of future industrial product development processes.

As part of this work, experimental vibration analysis will be conducted on a gearbox test setup to measure the vibration transfer path from the gear to the gearbox housing, considering the interaction with the oil inside the gearbox. The influence of various parameters (e.g., oil level, gear speed) on vibration transmission will be investigated. Subsequently, a multibody simulation will be used to develop a dynamic model that represents this vibrational transfer behavior.

Tasks:

  • Performing vibration measurements on a gearbox test rig to examine the vibration transfer from the gear to the gearbox housing
  • Analyzing the measured data to evaluate the influence of key parameters on the vibration transmission behavior
  • Developing a simplified multibody simulation model of the vibration transfer path
  • Validating the simulation model by comparing its results with experimental data.

Requirements:

  • Interest in the structural dynamic behavior of systems
  • Basics of vibration analysis

The Institute of Machine Elements and System Engineering researches the fundamental structural and tribological behaviour of machine elements and represents them in experimentally validated model descriptions. These model descriptions are used to analyse and design the functional, loss and noise behaviour 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.
Rolling/sliding contacts, such as those found in bearings, gears, and other machine elements are integral components of numerous mechanical systems. The efficient operation and longevity of these systems depend on the intricate interplay between the contacting surfaces and the lubricant. One critical aspect that significantly influences the performance of such contacts is the formation and behaviour of boundary layers. These thin films, which develop at the interface between the contacting surfaces, play a pivotal role in minimizing wear and enhancing the overall efficiency and durability of the systems. This thesis vacancy offers an exciting opportunity to contribute towards simplifying the complex relationship between contact preconditioning (which leads to different kinds of boundary layers) and wear in rolling/sliding contacts.

Tasks:

  • Analyzing test specimens from rolling/sliding contact experiments using various surface characterization techniques and building an understanding
  • Developing/improvising a supervised machine learning model to determine the cause-effect relationships between contact preconditioning and wear performance
  • Literature review on the wear behavior of rolling/sliding contacts, wear mechanisms, and boundary layers

Requirements:

  • Independent working
  • Critical thinking
  • Basic knowledge of machine learning
  • Knowledge of material/surface characterization is an advantage
  • Background in scientific writing is an advantage

We offer:

  • Intensive support and supervision
  • Excellent working atmosphere
  • Suitability for homeoffice
  • Immediate start or by appointment
  • Promising topic and experience for a future career
  • A warm welcome to new ideas

Due to the progressive climate change new shipping routes occur in the polar regions. This leads to an increasing number of collisions between ship propellers and sea ice which results in high impulse loads on the propeller and thus on the sliding bearings of the shaft. The influence of these loads on the bearing life is widely unknown.

In the HealthProp project, the influence of ice loads on the propulsion bearings of the research vessel SA Agulhas II is measured, quantified and analyzed with respect to the reduction of service life due to the failure mechanisms, in particular wear and fatigue. The aim of this work is to deter mine the local material stress on the stern tube bearings of the research vessel SA Agulhas II and predict safe and unsafe operating conditions during propellerpropeller-ice collisions.

Tasks:

  • Literature review on sliding bearing design and fatigue.
  • Determination of the pressure and temperature distribution in the sliding bearings of the propulsion system of the research vessel SA Agulhas II due to ice loads using MBS/TEHD simulation (AVL Excite Power Unit)
  • Calculation of stress tensors based on bearing pressure and temperature distribution in FE simulations (Abaqus)
  • Prediction of safe and unsafe operating conditions in propeller propeller-ice collisions base d on stress tensors and the failure hypothesis (DANG VAN)

Requirements:

  • Interest in powertrain and simulation technology
  • Prior knowledge in the field of mechanical systems as well as machine element design.
  • Previous knowledge in the field of simulation as well as programming (e.g. MATLAB ) is desirable, but not

What we offer:

  • Participation in an international research project
  • Intensive support in a highly motivated and interdisciplinary team
  • Learning of practice practice-relevant simulation methods
  • Option to participate in a scientific publication
  • Immediate start possible
