Main location Campus Holländischer Platz
Laboratory tours at the Department of Mechanical Engineering used experiments to demonstrate the physics on which mechanical engineering is based or the advantages and disadvantages of different materials for use in a machine. In various lectures for the public, the potential that mechanical engineering holds for the future was discussed. Other events not related to mechanical engineering rounded off the Tuesday.
The student council took care of the physical well-being with the preparation of waffles.
Laboratory tours
| Laboratory tour "Metallic materials" Metals under mechanical stress In order to select materials for areas of application, they must first be subjected to mechanical tests. (Institute of Materials Engineering) |
| "Metallic materials" lab tour Materials with shape memory Various experiments are used to show how special metals can only regain their original shape or lift weights with the help of heat. (Institute of Materials Engineering) |
| "Metallic materials" lab tour Turning small into big We show how microscopy helps to make the invisible visible. (Institute of Materials Engineering) |
| "Metallic materials" lab tour 3D printing and heat treatment of metallic materials We use experiments to show you how heat treatments change the properties of metallic materials. (Institute of Materials Engineering) |
| Laboratory tour at the Institute of Materials Engineering During a guided tour of our laboratories, we provide an insight into our various research areas and analysis methods. (Institute of Materials Engineering) |
| Laboratory tour "Mechanics" Technical dynamics - vibrations in everyday life - natural laws and industrial applications We carry out illustrative experiments in which different types of vibrations that occur in nature in a variety of ways are discussed. Using practical examples, you can learn about the fundamental relationships in the field of vibrations and gain an insight into the field of activity of an engineer. (Department of Technical Dynamics) |
| Laboratory tour "Mechanics" Fluid mechanics - The movement of liquids and gases leads to forces and vice versa During a laboratory tour, we explain the current research focuses of the department and their significance for industrial development. Exciting experiments will give you an insight into mechanical engineering studies at the University of Kassel. (Department of Fluid Mechanics) |
| "Mechanics" laboratory tour Structural Mechanics and Structural Dynamics - Sweet Engineering: We examine a bending bar made of chocolate Violence is not a solution! Breaking a chocolate bar is easy, but is it any easier? A chocolate bar is used to show which bearing and application of force cause a bar to fail. You will learn about different types of stress and can apply the knowledge gained in an experiment. In the spirit of sustainable experimentation, there is a sweet reward. (Department of Building Mechanics and Structural Dynamics) |
| Laboratory tour "Mechanics" Engineering mechanics/continuum mechanics - deformation and stress under changing forces One focus of our industrial contract research and services is experimental fatigue strength analysis. For this purpose, we have several servo-hydraulic test benches on vibration-isolated clamping fields, which enable long-term tests under operating load spectra and multi-axial stress. During a laboratory tour, we will introduce you to the test benches and explain the testing techniques used to record relevant parameters. (Department of Engineering Mechanics/Continuum Mechanics) |
| "Measurement and control technology" laboratory tour Seeing heat - the thermography laboratory In a demonstration of the thermography laboratory, you will experience how heat radiation is made visible. For example, heat loss via surfaces can be measured, as can gases that are harmful to the climate. In addition to an introduction to the topic, we will demonstrate examples of our current research. (Department of Measurement and Control Technology) |
| "Measurement and control technology" laboratory tour Automatic factory: visit to the μPlant The µPlant model factory is used for industry-oriented training of mechanical engineers and mechatronics engineers in modern automation systems, actuators and sensors. (Department of Measurement and Control Technology) |
| Sustainable energy generation using intelligent materials We will show you how existing mechanical energy can be sustainably converted into electrical energy using intelligent materials and the latest results from current research. |
| Demonstration of large-scale equipment Welding together and tearing apart Demonstration of various large-scale equipment in the field of welding technology and destructive testing technology in four laboratories: We open the doors of our large machine laboratory and give all interested parties an insight into modern welding and testing methods. (Department of Cutting and Joining Manufacturing Processes) |
