We appreciate the organization of this year's Stuttgart International Symposium by FKFS. It was a great platform for Philipp Mell and Chuxuan He from the Institute of Power Transmission and High Voltage Technology (IEH) to present their work on hairpin winding degradation models! © FKFS / Photography: Uli Regenscheit

LUBMAT-IBERTRIB-2024 was a very nice conference. Lots of interesting talks and people and a beautiful city (San Sebastian). #Lubricants #Tribology #Condition Monitoring #LUBMAT2024 #IBERTRIB2024 #Congress

Our colleague Philipp Mell from the Reliability Engineering Department will be joining the 2024 Stuttgart International Symposium hosted by FKFS. He will share the findings of our publicly funded study on the degradation of hairpin winding insulation. Hairpins, commonly used in inverter-fed motors in electric vehicles, were tested under various conditions over three years. Through this extensive testing and analysis, we have successfully assessed their reliability within a lifetime model. 🚀 This research has allowed us to evaluate and enhance an innovative measurement method for electric motors equipped with high-performance inverters. Moreover, the models we developed now enable automotive suppliers and manufacturers to accurately assess the service life of electric motors under specific load conditions.

FULL HOUSE - HI-RELIABILITY SEMINAR ! > 60 Reliability experts joining todays #Reliability seminar by Holland Innovative at AI Innovation Center, High Tech Campus Eindhoven. Great speakers and lively discussions, going in-depth on the topics the speakers addressed and challenging them also :)! Martin Dazer from University of Stuttgart started with a case around the reliability and performance of the transmissions in wind-mils. How to deal with defects and wear-out in mechanics and how to increase the life-time with about 50% just by smart, reliability based service and operation design! Imagine what a benefit this can be for each customer?! Incorporating also #AI in making reliability of systems even stronger! Bas Dielissen presenting the challenges in setting-up a reliability database and how to do this on a reliability way using reliability tools making it available to all engineers in ASML. Lely and The Gevasol Group presented together their case around their Supplier-Customer relation and the demand from Customer to high Reliability performance. For the supplier a case in understanding clearly the question and the requirements, also an understanding of needs and fears, also regarding warranty and expectations. A great example how together the bar has been raised to benefit of both parties! Elly van den Bliek presenting about system #availability and explaining when to use which tool or model comparing reliability and availability in #systemsengineering. And this afternoon coming more exciting presentations! Curious about the presentations of Peter de Veen, ASML, Eleonora Annigoni, Holland Innovative and Claudia Fecarotti of Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. Curious also to the open discussion with the whole audience at the end lead by Coen Smits and of course the network drinks, meeting all our well known and respected colleagues and friends in reliability, physics, quality and systems engineering. Thanks to Eurofins, Eurofins | MASER and weisstechnik supporting this event! Any question, need, suggestion? Missed the event but curious about what was presented and what we discussed?

🌟 Come and visit the Institute of Machine Components at the annual #TagDerWissenschaft event at the University of Stuttgart! 🎓 Our own sealing and drive technology departments will give insight into research and projects at our institute! 🚀 In the field of sealing technology, we explore and test all kinds of seals on our test rigs. From understanding material properties to their practical application in technical components, there's plenty more to explore. 🔍 As for drive technology, it's all about gears - from the tiniest to the largest, there's plenty of excitement to uncover. Ever wondered how a gearbox operates? How a car drives? And how to generate electricity from wind? ⚙ Meet the Damper Dudes at our booth - a start-up conducting research at the University of Stuttgart. The Damper Dudes will showcase their innovative motorcycle and provide insights into the latest technologies they're developing. 🏍️💡

A heartfelt congratulations to our former colleague, Oliver Feuchtmüller, on successfully passing his doctoral examination! 👨🎓 The topic of his dissertation was "On the oil film formation and friction of rod seals" Congratulations, Dr. Feuchtmüller! 🎉 #IMA #PhD #Dissertation #StuttgarterMaschinenbau #UniStuttgart

🔍 Yesterday, the Institute of Machine Components hosted the VDI e.V. Expert Committee on Reliability Management. The committee's current focus lies in addressing reliability challenges encountered in practical applications. Their goal is to craft expert recommendations to tackle prevalent issues such as managing unknown loads or estimating necessary sample sizes for validation purposes. #VDI #Reliability #Engineering
