New rotating bending testing machine expands testing methods under cyclic stress
On 11 December 2024, the newly procured 4-point rotating bending test system Power ROTABEND (100 Nm) from SincoTec Test Systems GmbH was put into operation at the WOT. This expansion of the machine park allows the testing of cyclic load capacity under rotating bending, as is relevant for the use of rotating shafts, for example.

20.12.2024 Projects of the professorship

DediGrad Collaborative Research Centre approved
In November 2024, the German Research Foundation (DFG) approved the establishment of the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio (SFB/TRR 402) entitled "Intelligent production technologies for lightweight plastic structures with load-dedicated 3D grading of the reinforcement architecture - DediGrad". The Chemnitz University of Technology is the spokesperson under the leadership of Prof Dr Lothar Kroll. The research team is made up of 27 researchers from TU Chemnitz, TU Dresden, RWTH Aachen University, TU Vienna and Fraunhofer IWU, who will be researching this highly relevant topic for 45 months in the first project phase with a total funding amount of 16.4 million euros.
