The Institute for Machine Elements and System Development (MSE) researches the fundamental structural and tribological behavior of machine elements and depicts this 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 the drive technology of wind turbines, mobile work machines and electric mobility. The result is computational and constructive designs of specific technical solutions including proof of the required system properties on large test benches. Extensive experience with such model-based solution finding through to the conception of configurable products enables the MSE to research and develop methods of Model Based Systems Engineering as a central element of future industrial product development processes. The MSE's bearing technology department researches the tribological and structural behavior of the machine elements rolling bearings,...
