Turn right onto “Planetenfeldstraße”, after 850 meters turn left onto “Otto-Hahn-Straße”. After 1 km turn right onto “Marie-Curie-Allee”, after 550 meters keep slightly right to stay on “Baroper Straße”.

From highway “A45”

Take the exit “Dortmund-Eichlinghofen”, in the direction of “Universität”. Turn right onto “Stockumer Straße”, after 800 meters turn left onto “Baroper Straße”.

Please use parking lot entrances 40 or 41 for access to the “Maschinenbau III” building or entrance 42 for access to the Experimental Hall.

By bus and train

Arrival with DB to Dortmund or Bochum central station.
From Dortmund central station take the interurban train line S1 in the direction of Düsseldorf and get off at the stop “Dortmund Universität S”.
From Bochum central station with the interurban train line S1 in the direction of Dortmund and get off at the stop “Dortmund Universität S”
From the interurban stop “Dortmund Universität S”, take the elevated railway (“H-Bahn” stop “Universität S”) to the stop “Campus Süd”.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport

Take a cab to the TU Dortmund University, South Campus (“Campus Süd”) or take the AirportExpress in 20 min. to Dortmund central station. From there take the interurban train line S1 line in the direction of Düsseldorf to the stop “Dortmund Universität S” and from there the elevated railway (“H-Bahn”) to “Campus Süd”.

From Düsseldorf Airport

Doctoral examination at the IUL

03/26/2025

Mr. Fabian Schmitz and the examination board on March 11, 2025

The IUL congratulates Mr. Fabian Schmitz on passing his doctoral examination. On March 11, 2025, his doctoral presentation entitled “Process analysis of high-speed shearing” was attended by a large audience.

Professor Volk from the Chair of Metal Forming and Casting at TU Munich and Professor Tekkaya from the IUL reviewed the presentation. The examination was also attended by the chairman Prof. A. Zabel of the ISF and the examiner PD Dr. P. Kurzeja of the IM of TU Dortmund University. In his dissertation, Mr. Schmitz deals with high-speed shearing, which makes effective use of the resulting process heat in the form of thermal softening. In addition, a new methodology was developed to measure various energy variables during high-speed shearing. Using experimental, analytical, and numerical methods, a criterion was derived which makes it possible to differentiate high-speed shear cutting from conventional shear cutting on the basis of physical properties. This criterion can be used for process design as well as for process classification.
