Student theses
The basic procedure for a student research project or diploma thesis (SA/DA) at the Chair is divided into the following steps in terms of content and time:
- Preliminary discussion with the supervisor to get to know each other and introduce the topic of the assignment.
- Formulation of the assignment by the Chair and binding agreement on the submission date based on the applicable examination regulations - standard processing time. In the case of the abbreviation SA/DA, the scope of the work is adapted to.
- Familiarization with the topic on the basis of a literature search and support from the supervisor.
- Draw up a timetable to complete the task within the specified period (e.g. Gantt chart)
- Carrying out the planned experiments, modeling, calculations, etc.
- Written documentation of the work
- Presentation of the results in a defense (optional for RES theses)
Depending on the topic chosen and your personal interests, you will have the opportunity to deepen your specialist knowledge with theoretical or practical skills.
The content and time structure of the coursework or dissertation will prepare you optimally for the independent processing and solution of engineering problems.

Electrical contacts and connections
| DA | Compression joints for stranded conductors are used in many parts of the energy supply network and must meet requirements in terms of operational safety and reliability. Electrical-thermal simulations are increasingly being used to analyze connections used in the field. The parameterization of the electrical models is of crucial importance, but is difficult due to the large number of unknown parameters. The aim of this work is to support and simplify the parameterization of the models by means of experimental tests. |

Electromobility aims to increase the use of electrically powered vehicles in private transportation. The electrification of the drive system leads to new requirements for the joining processes used for current-carrying conductors if they are to carry electrical currents safely and with long-term stability. One forming joining process used in the automotive industry is clinching. In previous long-term studies, the contact behavior of clinch connections was always evaluated using the connection resistance or the quality factor. In order to be able to evaluate the contact behavior of these joints in more detail, it is necessary to calculate the proportions of the material and contact resistance in the joint resistance in FEM models. These resistance components are then used in parameter studies to evaluate the influence of various geometric parameters of clinch connections on the electrical contact behavior. |

| DA | The loads acting on an electrical connection are manifold. Up to now, finite element simulations, from which statements on contact behavior can be derived, have usually only examined the mechanics or the electrical or thermal flow field or a coupling of two of these variables. In this work, the interaction of mechanics and the electrical and thermal flow field in a model contact system is to be investigated using modern FE software. |

| DA/SA | In numerous investigations, the force reduction on bolted connections with busbars was evaluated with the course of the connection force. A new evaluation of the existing and current test results is to be carried out on the course of the mean mechanical stress in the joint. |
