Aeronautics and Astronautics

ldquoThe research mission of Aeronautics and Astronautics at TUM is to enable sustainable air and space transport Its education mission is to secure the availability of highly qualified personnel for industry and research institutesrdquo

a joint initiative of EADS Liebherr-Aerospace MTU Aero Engines and IABG as well as the Bavarian Ministry for Economic Affairs

Research in Aeronautics and Astronautics at TUM concentrates on the following engineering tasks

Materials and StructuresResearch on materials and structures focuses on composites and hybrid materials which offer high strength-to-weight ratios The use of structures built from such materials re-quires new structural and multidisciplinary design optimization techniques new produc-tion techniques and new methods for damage and failure assessment Adaptation smart actuation and sensing of materials in large membrane structures is possible by special types of fibre composite materials and can be exploited for new morphing-structure solu-tions for spacecraft and aircraft

PropulsionEnvironmental compatibility requires the reduction of losses increase of energy-conver-sion efficiency and the improvement of cooling and fuel injections with propulsion sys-tems for aircraft and spacecraft New materials offer increasing efficiency and new fuels reduce the environmental impact but also lead to new designs and operational risks One of the main challenges is to incorporate innovative solutions while as a minimum maintain reliability and safety Highly nonlinear effects such as flashback in turbo-engine combus-tors and combustion instability in rocket engines have to be predicted and countermea-sures must be devised


SFB-TR40 Technological Foundations for the Design of Thermally and Mechanically Highly Loaded Components of Future Space Transpor-tation Systems httpwwwsfbtr40deNext-generation space transportation systems will be based on rocket propulsion systems which deliver the best compromise between development and production cost and performance The SFB-TR40 focuses on liquid rocket propulsion systems and their integration into the space transportation system Specific problems of rocket propulsion sys-tems are the main focus of the SFB-TR40 Critical thermally and mechanically highly loaded compo-nents of such space transportation systems are the combustion chamber the nozzle the aft body and structure cooling These components offer the highest potential for the efficiency increase of the entire system However all components are in close and direct interaction with each other Optimization or even the fundamental new design of a single component directly affects all other components Therefore the investigation of individual components separate from the others leads to suboptimal results The scientific focus of all five research areas within the SFB-TR 40 is the analysis and the modeling of coupled systems Based on reference experiments detailed numerical models are developed which serve as basis for efficient and reliable predictive simulation tools for design

Micro Technology and Medical Device TechnologyIn mechatronic development processes mechanism design should not be understood as an isolated process in terms of classical kinematics synthesis An integrated process has been developed for this purpose It implies new methods for spatial trajectory input a synthesis process which comprehends drives and their control Furthermore it uses RP-Technologies for the output of first prototypes The use of Navigation and Robotics in the field of surgery is a topic pursued by many research projects These projects vary from the integrated power control of instruments and minimally invasive instruments to the compu-ter integrated operating room (CIO) Clinical applications are (ENT) ear nose and throat surgery neuro surgery visceral surgery and dental surgery Registration methods in the liver surgery represent a particular challenge

Automation and Information SystemsTo improve automation and software engineering including operation and maintenance of manufacturing systems on the one hand and products on the other hand models of differ-ent disciplines eg mechanical electrical and software engineering need to be coupled or integrated considering their correlations and dependencies eg adapting model notations like SyML UML meta-modeling and coupling of models Especially distributed embedded automation systems using cognitive mechanism to adapt on unforeseen environmental changes or changed product and production requirements are used The research field quality management works on simulation testing automatic verification and mathematical models to verify the correctness of distributed real-time embedded systems For all engi-neering aspects usability is a key issue using methods from ergonomics

be caused by distance but also due to scales eg in minimal invasive surgery or in microassembly In addition to visual and acoustic feedback especially haptic feedback is needed this requires tactile (pressure temperature roughness vibrations) as well as kinesthetic (proprioceptors inertial effects gravity) feedback channels in order to improve close to reality impressions

Real-time Image Navigation in Operative Liver Surgery Liver resection denotes the removal of one or more vascular segments of the liver according to the Couinaud segments of the liver Typical indications for this method of treatment are liver diseases such as liver cancer malignant liver tumors or living-liver donations The most challenging task for the sur-geon is the re-movement of tumors with a safety margin of at least ten millimeters to obviate the recrudescence of tumors on the one hand and to prevent tumor cells from getting into blood circula-tion on the other hand The surgeonrsquos planning of the surgical intervention is effected by correspond-ing CT datasets which the surgeon receives from radiologists Since the liver is a soft tissue organ the operative and preoperative form can differ The use of a suitable navigation system improves safety and effectiveness in liver surgery for intraoperative locali-zation of key structures such as tumors This system consists of a navigation camera for tracking position and orientation of ultrasonic probe and dissector relative to the patientrsquos liver The main idea of this navigation concept is to localize and to mark target structures which are focused on with the dissector by means of crosslines

Design Construction and Verification of Drop-on-Demand Systems Dispensing minute amounts of fluid by the drop-on-demand (DOD) technique is now routinely used in many industries There are numerous applica-tions for droplet generation which can be divided into the segments printing and coating life science electronic manufacturing optics and other special applications Furthermore droplet generators are important in the area of 3D rapid prototyping Due to the above mentioned large variety of possible applications of the DOD technique a huge number of fluids like polymers epoxy resins silicones or water-based fluids are used The size of the nozzle the geometry of the pressure wave generator and the thickness of the used piezo-actuator have to be adaptable to the above mentioned fluids to achieve drops of the size with the speed and uniformity that are needed The used materials have to be resistant to strong acids bases solvents and other chemi-cal agents Therefore only high resistance materi-als should come into contact with the medium Generally adapting a printhead to other fluids often means extensive development work or even a com-pletely redesign So a new approach is developed to manufacture piezoelectrically driven printheads by using rapid prototyping techniques such as laser-micromachining anodic bonding or working with a dicing saw The result is a drop on demand print-head dosing liquid wax manufactured in less than a day instead of now up to 6 weeks Model-based Engine Calibration The research field ldquoModel-based Engine Calibrationrdquo deals with the development and improvement of methods for engine calibration A modern combus-tion engine is controlled by an Engine Control Unit (ECU) The engine maps which are stored on the

ECU have to be defined in a calibration process which in previous times was performed manually from an engineer at the test bed Since the legisla-tive restrictions like exhaust-gas thresholds and the requirements of customers like low fuel consump-tion are permanently increasing more and more new systems had to be introduced for a better con-trolling of the combustion process This caused the number of actuators in modern combustion engines to increase in the last years Since all dependencies of all actuators have to be considered the task of calibration results in a high-dimensional problem which makes it difficult to find the optimal settings for the combustion engine Due to the increased complexity todays calibration engineers need to be supported by modern methods The research area of model-based engine calibration engineers need to be supported by modern methods Active and Semi-Active Suspension Control The research field deals with the configuration and control of active suspension systems in vehicles The isolation of the passengers from the road induced vibrations is an important topic in the automotive in-dustry The suspension system is beside the power train mainly responsable for the dynamic behaviour of vehicles and with its contribution to ride comfort and road holding it is an important distinguishing feature in vehicle construction The main tasks are a minimization of vibrations acting on passengers and the reduction of upcoming dynamic wheel load deviations while complying the technical boundary conditions The possibilities of standard passive sus-pension systems are limited Introducing active andor semi-active suspension components makes it possible by an appropriate control strategy to better respond to road disturbances and ride comfort and road holding abilities are significantly improved

Model-based and integrated engineering This research topic examines the modeling of hybrid networked automation systems in engineering of products and production plants (process and fac-tory) The focus lies on the interdisciplinary character of the design of automation systems as well as on increasing transparency throughout the operation phase Also the integration of energy aspects in the modeling of plant operation or vehicle systems is explored A strong focus is to increase efficiency and quality in automation software engineering eg through automatic PLC-code generation from a model in the domain of machine and plant manu-facturing Therefore different notations eg UML SysML are investigated and where appropriate no-tational elements or diagrams are added or adapted and domain specific editors are developed also for integration into ERP or MES systems (SpeziMES) Another focus is the model-based development of the hybrid production processes themselves especially in thermo-mechanical processes and in generative manufacturing technology Necessary information for code generation is extracted from different models (controller model CAD model) to ensure the time behavior in the target environment Furthermore the research topic aims at the develop-ment of a tool-supported method for integrated de-sign of distributed agent systems under the special requirements of automation technology

In addition to the established CAD systems more and more software tools are used in engineering of plants and products This leads to increasing data traffic A data backbone is needed that transparent-ly allows to connect the different data from different systems in accordance to their semantic and syntax (Project IMIP)

ldquoThe research mission in Power Engineering is to reduce pollutant and carbon dioxide emissions and to improve quality of life through improvement and substitution of energy conversion technologies and efficient use of energyThe teaching mission is to educate engineers with comprehensive knowledge regarding efficient sustainable and safe conversion and use of energyrdquo

The sustainable supply of energy is the key challenge for our future On the one hand worldwide energy demand will continue to grow and is expected to double in 2050 On the other hand emissions of greenhouse gases from energy conversion are the main reasons of global warming and increasing CO2 emissions from fossil fuel utilization will threaten our planet Moreover fossil fuels resources such as oil coal and natural gas in the end are limited However the interdependencies are complex and the tradeoff between economics energy efficiency and sustainability has to be found It is a requirement in power generation to develop new technologies to expand the production of renewable energy to improve energy efficiency and to reduce emissions

Power Engineering

Production engineering research has a long tradition since 1875 at the Technische Univer-sitaumlt Muumlnchen (TUM) After significant growth during the last 25 years it constitutes one of Germanyrsquos major research centers in this area including subsidiaries in Augsburg and more than 150 investigators and some 10000 sqm of space for offices and labs Since production of goods and machines in Germany is stronger than in any other country a strong research basis is essential for Germanyrsquos economy Approximate 8 million work-places are located in production facilities and plants Some additional 8 million workplaces exist in Germanyrsquos environment of production in order to support this field with logistical computing and other services Design manufacturing and product development is the complete set of activities needed to bring new devices technologies and services to the marketplace Production is a major part of the entire product life-cycle for which reason all research activities of the production engineering research focus are versatile and demanding The Institutes of the Research Area Production Engineering research conduct both fundamental research and application-oriented research with the objective of enhancing innovative technologies and passing expertise on to industry

Production Engineering

ldquoThe mission in Production Engineering is to provide producing industry with high fidelity research results We aim to take a leading position in production engi-neering research and develop visions for production technology in order to foster our society and prosper-ity We put innovations to practice by interdisciplinary reasoning and activity and we educate the engineers of the future who distinguish themselves through competence in leadership and professionalismrdquo

Fundamental Research System DynamicsProduction machines especially machine tools are precision machines and therefore very sensitive to vibrations and dynamically induced shifts Thus the researchers work on measures to reduce vibrations in terms of calculating or simulating the behavior of the ma-chine to take preventive measures or to intervene into the running machine by using new approaches of adaptive control or other damping measures Heat TransferHeat induced by the production processes or transferred from outside leads to thermal strain and deformation of the machines To avoid such negative impact by preventive andor therapeutic measures is the background of this research area Novel Manufacturing and Treatment Processes for New MaterialsThese research activities focus on production technologies manufacturing processes like molding injection molding extrusion blow-molding forming cutting and all biology ori-ented processes as well as bonding resp coating processes for materials material-mix or parts including light metals plastics fiber reinforced materials or natural fiber containing parts In terms of recycling selective separation technologies will become very relevant Model-Based System EngineeringThe improvement of the whole life cycle for engineering of production systems and pro-duction lines using and adapting methods from computers science are goal of this area Recent research activities are focusing on managed software evolution modular system design as well as suitable sequencing of mechanical engineering automation and soft-ware engineering using simulation and digital modeling

ProjectsSFB 768 Managing the Cyclic Interdependencies of Innovation Processes httpwwwsfb768de Focus of the research is the implementation and use of elements of complex solutions nowadays typi-cally consisting of a combination of product- and service-components so-called product-service-sys-tems The components are subject to development- manufacturing- and life-cycles of varying length which are provided by different functional divisions Availability and maturity of technologies changes of competences financial cycles at capital markets or of investments and write-offs as well as changes of customer demands represent external influences on the company In contrast the associated busi-ness processes underlie different cycles in research and development manufacturing logistics finance service and recycling which are mutually affecting each other as well

The aim of the Collaborative Research Center is the understanding and design of innovation processes concerning the specific characteristics and interde-pendencies of cycles in innovation processes With the understanding of cycles innovation processes are to be designed with regards to the content of cycles in terms of costs and quality and above all concerning their temporal interaction To reach these goals scientists from the faculties of computer sci-ences engineering and economics and sociology are collaborating closely The perspective of cycles is thereby the novel point of view on innovation processes to align and synchronize company-exter-nal and -internal changes This Collaborative Research Center also addresses Mechatronics aspects


Cognition for Fabrication and Production SystemsCognitive capabilities are fundamental information processing algorithms such as percep-tion attention memory action learning and planning These are abilities similar to those of humans in order to learn from observations and realize their environment Therefore the aim of this area is to get production systems that ldquoknow what they are doingrdquo The researchers investigate cognition for technical systems such as machines robots and factories Cognitive technical systems are equipped with artificial sensors and actuators

Application-Oriented ResearchProduction Management and LogisticsAlong with aspects of technical logistics the control and optimization of material flow processes by innovative identification technologies (RFID) the development of logistics planning by means of digital tools as well as the role of human beings in production and in logistics (work place design) represent essential research topics Machines Automation and RoboticsNew intelligent machines consuming low energy producing precise parts in a very effi-cient way and having a high reliability is the focus of this research area The investigators work on new approaches of automation new manufacturing processes novel sensors and drives and therefore foster the power of machines up to double or triple of state of the art Mechatronics and Integrated EngineeringModular design simultaneous engineering cognitive control diagnosis and service are the challenges for future production plants In consequence the investigators work on di-agnosis test procedures and model-based integrated engineering for highly qualified and energy optimized production

MAICarbonhttpwwwmai-carbonde

Carbon Fibers and Carbon Composites have material properties which enable us to build ultrastrong and lightweight products Since many of the leading players in research and industry in this field are located in the triangle between Munich Augsburg and Ingolstadt TUM together with partners such as SGL Group Audi BMW Premium Aerospace and many others has initiated the network MAICarbon This network was successful in the Leading-Edge Cluster Competition of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in early 2012 and will be funded with up to 40 million euro within until 2017MAICarbon will pave the way to serial production of carbon composite products and pro-mote the region as the center of competence for Carbon Composite technology in Europe Since Carbon Composite Materials have a very high potential especially in automotive and aerospace applications and are still very demanding in production process several insti-tutes at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering will be active in this cluster

Process Engineering

Process Engineering is a key technology for producing industry Due to the diversity of ap-plications and underlying scientific foundations it is addressed by several TUM faculties next to the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering mainly by the Center of Life and Food Sci-ences in Weihenstephan and by the Faculty of Chemistry At the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering the Institute of Plant and Process Technology and the Institute of Biochemical Engineering focus on Process and Equipment Design De-sign Methods including Modeling and Simulation as well as Bioreactors and Biocatalysis Fermentation and Bioprocess Integration

Process Engineering

ProjectsIndustrial Biotechnology The Institute of Biochemical Engineering together with the two speciality devisions for (1) Selective Separation Technology and for (2) Systems Bio-technology form the engineering science core of the interdisciplinary TUM Research Center for Industrial Biotechnology (lsquoForschungszentrum fuumlr Weiszlige Bio-technologiersquo) The new 42 billion Euro Pilot Plant for Industrial Biotechnology on TUM-campus Garching which came into operation in mid 2011 supports the interdisciplinary scientific collaborations of the members of the TUM Research Center for Industrial Biotechnology beyond traditional faculty borders

InnovA2

The ldquoBundesministerium fuumlr Bildung und Forschungrdquo is supporting a consortium of 17 partners ( 12 companies and 5 universities) to analyze ldquoInnova-tive concepts for processes and plants in order to increase the efficiency of production processesrdquo Five different new plant concepts for heat integration are examined in this joint research project experi-mentally as well as theoreticallyThe goal of the particular project investigated at the TUM is to analyze the condensation on microstruc-tured tubes for heat exchangers to improve their energy efficiency The effect of microstructures for condensation shall be extended on mixtures and mixtures with gaseous inert components An ad-ditional task is to develop correlations for design-ing heat exchangers used for the condensation of mixtures

Amongst others this is applied to the generation of synthetic fuels and energy carriers from coal and biomass (XtL the conversion of various fossil and regenerative raw mate-rials to liquid fuels) as well as the conversion of solid feedstock to natural gas (SNG) In this process chain all kinds of synthesis gases play a significant role so different purifica-tion and gas treatment processes are currently investigated Furthermore flue gases from the firing of fossil fuels are researched with respect to purification and carbon dioxide removalLaboratories workshops and technical facilities with the complete infrastructure for the cultivation of microorganisms and cells on a 1 mL - 200 L scale enable the Institute of Biochemical Engineering to analyze microbial reactions and biotechnological production processes on a laboratory as well as on a semi-technical scaleIn the next years research will be further focused on the bioprocess engineering aspects of Industrial Biotechnology For example the research activities in fermentation science will be extended to study the microbial production of chemicals and liquid biofuels from gaseous substrates (synthesis gases)Apart from experimental investigations modeling and simulation play an important role Modeling activities cover fundamental thermodynamic property methods detailed mod-eling of process equipment modeling of complete plant configurations and economical evaluations

Medical Technology

Medical technology industry is one of the strongest worldwide Despite this within Germa-ny there are only three large Centers for medical technology as an engineering discipline at the university level RWTH Aachen FAU Erlangen and TUM Nevertheless in contrast to automotive aerospace or energy the field of Medical Technology is defined almost com-pletely by companies with less than 50 employees with the important exception of imag-ing technologies and only the TUM Faculty of Mechanical Engineering offers programs for bachelor and master studies in Medical Technology

ProjectsStent Technologies The killer No 1 worldwide is heart attack through occlusion of feeding coronary arteries usually caused by atheromatosis or calcification of the re-spective blood vessel wall Using stents by intravas-cular positioning within stenoses with subsequent opening through a balloon catheter has become a convenient treatment to overcome insufficient blood supply to the heart However long term result are in-ferior to bypass operations requiring opening of the chest heart-lung machines and hour-long anesthe-sia Stents are applied within a very short time by full consciousness of the patient while maintaining a normal heart contraction To considerably improve stent technology and to provide patients with long term patency of their treated arteries we developed new drug eluting stent structures avoiding intravascular rotation thus disrupture of the endothelial layer of the coronary and secondary clotting following media hyperpla-sia All machines and equipment necessary ie a new balloon forming machine the balloon itself the various stents and modification of surfaces to make them hemocompatible are parts of a large research programme in cardiovascular implant development and have been developed designed manufactured and tested at the institute

Medical Technology

The research activities are centred around

Biocompatible instruments and implants and their Processing amp ToolingInnovative concepts instruments and implants are under development that can be used in or implanted into the human body Materials material processing and tools for material processing are researched for their potential use in medicine independently of a specific medical product Micro fluidic effects in medical applications are addressed intensively

Tissue EngineeringGeneration of (partially) living biological substitutes for damaged tissues addressing re-generative medicine is addressed here Basic cell biological research (eg stem cell tech-nology) material science to develop biocompatible scaffolds and the development of sophisticated bioreactors are integrated to create functional tissue substitutes

Biomechanical and Biofunctional Models Computer Aided InterventionsBiomechanical models of the functions of muscles and the skeleton are developed sev-eral projects deal with the conversion of known models to humanoid robots other projects study the definition of such models In addition mathematical models are used to model and to visualize human tissue eg FEM for complex vessel structures (lung liver) to model the function or the deformation of the tissue as well as the segmentation and visualization of the tissue as part of intervention planning or navigation

Micro-injection molded implants for the middle earOtosclerosis usually results in loss of hearing with a considerable social impact on the patient In order to treat this disease we developed an entirely new mid-dle ear implant prepared for injection molding tech-nology with a mass of the implant of less than 1 mg These extremely small however accurate implants require thermoplast processing and handling tools of utmost precision and surface properties with adapted microstructuring for bone on one side (inner ear side) and for connective tissue on the other side (tympanic membrane side) Both structures preparing locotypi-cal tissue ingrowth can be realized using micro injec-tion molding including damping elements within the implant to prevent the patient from complete loss of hearing following implantation with subsequent heavy acoustic trauma ie in machining environ-ments or while consuming exceedingly loud music Forming process tools surfaces and its modifica-tions by open air plasma treatment and by titania coatings have been developed at the institute including the worldwide smallest injection molding machine All related biological testing using cell and tissue constructs is available at the institute provid-ing innovative interfaces and interphases between living tissues and polymer structures

Scientific Networks

Science and research are not possible without the exchange of ideas For engineering sciences this is especially true for interlinks with industry in order to keep its focus on current problems and to validate research results in ldquoreal liferdquo Here the TUM Faculty of Mechanical Engineering profits from its location in one of the most innovative industrial environments world wide with large companies having their headquarters or research centers in and around Munich but even more so with numerous highly innovative small and medium-sized enterprises throughout southern BavariaAs it is good practice in the academic world the scientific principles underlying industrial applications are regularly published in international journals and on scientific conferences in order to make the results open to academia and strengthen the scientific reputation of our faculty In this framework the institutes at the TUM Faculty of Mechanical Engineering are highly interested in cooperations with the potential of generating results which can be published in academic journals at least in their core elements on the one hand and to provide in-novative and commercializable solutions to their partner on the other hand Such projects can be performed on the basis of publicly funded programmes as well as on bilateral agreement Increasingly the TUM Faculty of Mechanical Engineering acts as a venue for scientific ex-change also with our industrial partners Numerous seminars are open to the public and are regularly visited by our partners eg the Automotive Colloquium (IWB-Kolloquien) A list of past and upcoming events is available on our website An excellent forum for exchange with local industry are the Bavarian Research Coopera-tions (Bayerische Forschungsverbuumlnde) which are strongly supported by our institutes and often even chaired by faculty members

Study Programs

A doctorate is usually obtained working on a publicly or privately funded research project and in most cases at the TUM Faculty of Mechanical Engineering the candidate is em-ployed as a full time researcher In this case the candidate will also have teaching and other duties so that it usually takes about 4 to 5 years to finish the doctoral thesis De-spite the general trend towards other forms of doctorate programs the faculty regards this traditional concept as best suited for most cases in engineering sciences

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering was the first one to implement a Faculty Gradu-ate Center within the TUM Graduate School in order to provide a platform for training and networking activities Acatech the German Academy of Science and Engineering awarded the special price for comprehensive doctorate training to TUM and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in 2011 for these efforts

In addition the TUM Faculty of Mechanical Engineering has initiated several framework programmes together with some strategic cooperation partners in industry

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is the largest faculty of TUM and one of the largest and most prestigous of its kind in Germany The faculty is proud of its strong local and international networks both to industry and academia Since 2005 third party funded research at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering almost doubled from 24 million euro to 45 million euro far more than the development of Germanyrsquos GDP and the DAX Research topics involving several institutes are addressed in coordinated research clusters includingbull The ldquoMunich School of Engineering (MSE)rdquo providing a unique platform for inter-

faculty research and teaching Current major elements in MSE are the TUM Science Center E-Mobility the Center for Power Generation (focusing on efficiency of existing and future power plants) and the Network for Renewable Energy

bull ldquoMunich Aerospacerdquo levering the high potential on aeronautic research and develop-ment industry and research institutions headquartered in the city such as DLR the University of the Armed Forces and TUM

bull Contributions to several DFG-funded ldquoSonderforschungsbereicherdquo and Clusters of Excellence

One highly visible outcome of these clusters amongst others is the MUTE project which combines technological aspects of an e-car with manufacturing capabilities to achieve cost effective solutions and which was presented at IAA 2011 integrating efforts of nearly 30 institutes university-wide
