Dynamics and Energy Efficiency in Heavy-duty Drive Technology
Content
The "Dynamics and Energy Efficiency in Heavy-duty Drive Technology" course provides an overview of the characteristics and special features of heavy-duty drives for off-highway applications. This includes a detailed presentation of the most important drivetrain components and drive concepts. Methods required for the analysis, synthesis, and design of drivetrains are also imparted. There is a special focus on efficiency and torsional vibration analysis, which are considered both theoretically and in practice as part of practical exercises.
The course is aimed at the following Mechanical Engineering Master degree programs:
- Product Development
- Development and Design
- Automotive Engineering and Transport
- Energy Engineering
- General Mechanical Engineering (technical-scientific module)
- Business Administration & Engineering: Mechanical Engineering
All further information can be found in the announcement.
