Technology Transfer and industrial partners

FAM is partner of the industry especially in the field of strength optimised and fracture-safe design of existing products as well as new development of future products.

Thereby a large variety of practical issues from different industrial applications are solved by FAM within the framework of technology transfer.

Practical issues are e.g.:

• Finite-Element-Analyses of axles, wheels and shafts for railway vehicles

• Stress calculations for mixer shafts and mixer frames

• Determination of fracture mechanical parameters and characteristic functions

• Numerical crack growth simulation for safety-relevant components

• Development of prostheses for leg-amputated persons

• Optimisation of headlight seal caps by the Finite-Element-Method
