Number: MER0003NER Basic development for the use of plastic as housing material of an electrohydraulic transmission control. The electrification of passenger cars leads to an increasing tightening of existing efficiency requirements. In order to successfully place vehicles on the market in the future, components of the main and the secondary drives are subject to constant testing to ensure the most efficient vehicle operation possible. In this case, the driving gear assumes a high significance. For reliable and efficient operation, the electrohydraulic transmission control plays a central role within the transmission. Thus, for example, cooling and lubrication requirements are covered, which have an influence on the overall efficiency due to their continuous operation. In addition, the requirements for an electrohydraulic transmission control change due to the progressing vehicle electrical system. This change opens up the possibility of a fundamental revision of conventional gear controls. In the course of the written master thesis, the use of a plastic is to be critically questioned for future requirements. To this end, the changing boundary conditions of electrohydraulic transmission controls must be shown. Based on future boundary conditions, in a step based on this, the possibilities for evaluating a change of material of the housing material are possible. The new design possibilities resulting from this are to be developed and evaluated against the background of the highest possible component integration taking into account the manufacturing requirements. Finally, it is necessary to secure these on the basis of existing or additional basic investigations. These challenges come to you: Introduction to the requirements of a transmission control system as well as the previous investigations on the subject Comparing the requirements of transmission controls in conventional and modern drive concepts and deriving future requirements Identify critically evaluated requirements and derive constructive solutions proposals Definition of necessary safeguard measures and implementation of investigations at different internal levels Creation of a documentation showing constructive solutions to identified challenges The final topics will be discussed with the university, you and us. The final work can start from October 2025.
