Aktuelle Ankündigung zu Klausureinsichten und -korrekturen

Liebe Studierende,

das IUL arbeitet aktuell mit Hochdruck daran, Klausureinsichten zu ermöglichen, die den notwendigen Corona-Sicherheitsvorschriften entsprechen.

Die Klausureinsichten finden an folgenden Tagen statt:

Bitte melden Sie sich über den zugehörigen Moodle-Raum an. Ausnahme: Wenn Sie eine Einsicht zur Klausur Umformtechnik I (MB) wünschen, melden Sie sich bitte per E-Mail bei Herrn Schulze (André Schulze M. Sc.)

Alle Klausuren, die bereits stattgefunden haben, sind bereits vollständig korrigiert und die entsprechenden Noten wurden im BOSS-System eingetragen. Nach erfolgter Klausureinsicht werden die Noten im BOSS-System im Bedarfsfall natürlich nachträglich korrigiert.

Dear students,

the IUL is urgently working to enable appointments for the review of exams that meet the necessary Corona safety regulations.

The reviews are taking place on the following dates:

Please register via the corresponding Moodle-room. Exception: If you wish to participate in the review of Umformtechnik I (MB) please send an e-mail to Mr. Schulze (André Schulze M. Sc.)

All exams that have already taken place have already been completely corrected and the corresponding grades have been entered in the BOSS system. After reviewing the exam, the grades in the BOSS system are of course subsequently corrected if necessary.

Digital Doctoral Examinations at the IUL

The IUL team congratulates the successful doctoral candidates

Studies, teaching and research continue at the IUL despite the measures currently required due to the coronavirus. One impressive demonstration of this is the fact that two doctoral examinations were digitally conducted within two weeks.

Rickmer Meya's presentation on "Damage-controlled Sheet Metal Bending Using Compressive Stress Superposition" was held on 14 May 2020. Oliver Hering delivered his presentation on 25 May on the subject of "Damage in Cold Forging: Development, Effects and Control". Both lectures were streamed on the IUL homepage in order to make them available to the general public.

The IUL extends its sincere congratulations to the new doctors!

Aktuelle Ankündigung zu Lehrveranstaltungen im Sommersemester 2020

Liebe Studierende,
in diesem Semester (SS2020) werden alle Lehrveranstaltungen des IUL in rein digitaler Form, d. h. in Moodle ohne Präsenzveranstaltungen, stattfinden. Die einzige Ausnahme hiervon bilden schriftliche Klausuren zum Ende des Semesters hin. Darüber und über alle aktuellen Informationen werden Sie in den jeweiligen Moodle-Kursen frühestmöglich informiert. In den jeweiligen Moodle-Räumen finden Sie zudem Details, was digitale Lehre in den einzelnen Fällen beinhaltet, die Einschreibeoptionen und wie Sie in Kontakt mit den Vorlesungsbetreuenden treten können. Nur dort finden Sie die aktuellsten Informationen zu Ihrem jeweiligen Kurs. Die Links zu den Kursen finden Sie unter http://iul.eu/de/lehre mit Klick auf den entsprechenden Kurs.

Auch die zeitnahe Korrektur von bereits durchgeführten Klausuren wird durch die aktuelle Lage erschwert. Die Noten von bereits vollständig korrigierten Prüfungen werden wir schnellstmöglich im BOSS-System eintragen. Nach erfolgter Klausureinsicht werden die Noten im BOSS-System im Bedarfsfall natürlich nachträglich korrigiert. Die Veröffentlichungen von noch nicht vollständig korrigierten Prüfungen ist bis auf unbestimmte Zeit verschoben.

Dear students,
all of the IUL’s courses in this semester (SS2020) will entirely take place in a digital manner. That means there will be no part with physical attendance required and moodle is the platform used for all the courses. The only exception here are written exams which will take place at the end of the semester. You will find all information, including new developments regarding a course in the respective moodle course. There you will find all the details regarding enrollment, the digital learning tools used and how to contact the lecture supervisor. Only in moodle you’ll find the latest information on a particular course. The links to the courses are provided at http://iul.eu/de/lehre by clicking on the desired course.

Also the correction of exams is currently suspended. Exams which are already corrected completely will be entered in the BOSS system as soon as possible. After the review of the exams the grades in the BOSS system will be corrected if necessary. The publication of exam grades that have not yet been completely corrected is postponed indefinitely.

Activity Report 2019

REV2020 Best Short Paper Award

At the 17th International Conference on Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation the ELLI2 team has been awarded the Best Short Paper Award for their joint contribution entitled “Remote Lab to Illustrate the Influence of Process Parameters on Product Properties in Additive Manufacturing”. The conference took place at the University of Georgia in Athens, USA, on February 26-28, 2020. The submission, mainly composed by Mr. S. Upadhya and presented by Mr. A. Selvaggio, deals with the design, development and implementation of a remote laboratory with an emphasis on process parameters in additive manufacturing. Both employees are part of the ELLI team. The developed laboratory will be accessible at TU Dortmund University to familiarize students with the influence of different process parameters on product properties during the additive process of selective laser melting.

Stuart Shirley, graduate student at Colorado School of Mines in Golden, USA, spent two weeks at the Institute of Forming Technology and Lightweight Components. During this time, Mr. Shirley focused on the process combination of extrusion and deep drawing. He seized the opportunity to broaden his skills as a hobby blacksmith in several companies before visiting the IUL as a last stop of his semester abroad in Germany.

The Institute of Forming Technology and Lightweight Construction is very pleased that the Consul General of the Turkish Consulate General Essen, Mr. Şener Cebeci, visited the IUL on February 10, 2020.

After a short tour on campus and a ride with the sky train (“H-Bahn”), Prof. Tekkaya, head of the IUL, informed Mr. Cebeci about the research work at the institute as part of a tour through the test field.

CRC/Transregio 188 - 2. Industrial Colloquium on Damage on 5 March in Aachen

Forming processes play a major role not only in achieving the intended component geometry, but also through setting the component properties such as hardening and residual stresses. The evolution of damage caused by forming has not yet been taken into account in product design. The Collaborative Research Center TRR 188 “Damage Controlled Forming Processes”, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), aims to control damage throughout the whole process chain in order to safely exploit the full potential of the considered material. The interdisciplinary research group consisting of researchers from TU Dortmund University, RWTH Aachen University, Brandenburg University of Technology and the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung Düsseldorf is investigating how damage can be controlled and thus be used to increase the performance of metallic components in practical applications. The 2nd Industrial Colloquium 2020 offers the opportunity to gain an insight into the whole range of research performed in the TRR 188 but focuses on modeling of damage evolution. Highly reputable speakers from industry and research organizations will present their latest research results as well as requirements and opportunities for their industrial application. Thus, the Colloquium provides an ideal platform for discussions on theory and application of damage control in metal forming processes and its benefits in industry as well as future development trends.
