Networks
Networking is important to us because the current challenges at the interfaces of the disciplines and scientific fields can only be solved in an interdisciplinary manner.
For this reason, we actively participate in various networks and committees:
German Institute for Standardization (DIN)
Representatives of the research group participate in the standardization work in the following committees:
- Standardization Committee "Materials Testing", Working Committee "Carbon Coatings and Ceramic Hard Coatings"
- Standards Committee “Rolling and Plain Bearings", Working Committee "Load Ratings and Life"
- Standards Committee "Characteristics lists and tool data exchange for tools, toolholders, clamping devices and machine tools"
- Standards committee "Construction of 3D models based on features according to DIN 4000"
Deutscher Verband für Materialforschung und -prüfung (DVM)
Within the DVM, members of the research group participate in the following working groups
- Reliability of implants and biostructures
- Additively manufactured components and structures
Fakultätentag für Maschinenbau und Verfahrenstechnik (FTMV)
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stephan Tremmel represents the University of Bayreuth’s Faculty of Engineering Science in the FTMV and is also an elected member of the FTMV Strategy and Study Commission. Within the association, common interests of the member faculties in matters of teaching, research and academic self-government as well as in higher education policy issues affecting the member faculties are dealt with.
Drive Technology Research Association (FVA)
The research group has been actively involved in numerous project committees of the FVA for many years, such as:
- Calculation and simulation
- Bevel gears
- Spur gears
- Rolling bearings
- Shaft-hub connections
- Workbench
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stephan Tremmel is also a member of the program committee for the international conference Bearing World by FVA.
German Society for Tribology (GfT)
The GfT is a communication platform and knowledge transfer point for experts and users on topics relating to tribology. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stephan Tremmel is a personal member of GfT.
Graphical Tool Data Exchange (GTDE)
The GTDE is a competence centre, interest group and service provider in the field of tool data exchange. The research group supports the association with its expertise in the field of data exchange.
The chair is a member of NAFEMS, an association dedicated to modeling, simulation, and analysis of primarily engineering systems.
Network for Innovative Suppliers of Medical Technology (NeZuMed)
Thanks to its many years of experience in product development, the research group is able to provide optimum support in the network for the development of new products and benefit from the experience of the members in the field of medical technology.
Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft für Produktentwicklung (WiGeP)
Professor Tremmel is an active member and is involved in the specialist group for machine elements and systems as well as the cross-sectional group for teaching and further education. Members of staff are involved in organizing the annual WiGeP-VPE assistants' meetings and the WiGeP senior engineers' meetings. Professor Rieg is a retired member.
