Job Description

The shaft-gear-bearing-housing system represents a central configuration within gear transmission mechanisms. This research project aims to extend existing gear transmission dynamics with various nonlinearities, including bearing clearance and misalignment. A key objective is to analyze and assess the dynamic performance of the gear transmission.

• During your thesis, you will conduct a comprehensive literature review on the state-of-the-art in nonlinear dynamic simulation of gears.
• Subsequently, you will implement nonlinear dynamic models utilizing the harmonic balance method.
• Furthermore, you will comparatively analyze the results obtained from employing various nonlinear modeling approaches.
• Finally, you will document and formally present your findings.

Qualifications

• Education: Master studies in the field of Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computational Mechanics or comparable
• Experience and Knowledge: strong fundamentals in structural dynamics and numerical methods (FEM, time integration schemes)
• Personality and Working Practice: you independently conduct research with strong analytical skills and motivation, proactively contributing to the team while maintaining project oversight
• Languages: fluent in English

Additional Information

• Start: according to prior agreement
• Duration: 6 months

Requirement for this thesis is the enrollment at university. Please attach your CV, transcript of records, examination regulations and if indicated a valid work and residence permit.

Diversity and inclusion are not just trends for us but are firmly anchored in our corporate culture. Therefore, we welcome all applications, regardless of gender, age, disability, religion, ethnic origin or sexual identity.
