Together with their collaborating research partner, the Fraunhofer Institute for Large Structures in Production Engineering IGP Rostock, the new research findings of the Mechanics/Design working group were presented to a broad specialist audience in four scientific papers at the international conference on ocean and polar engineering.
Our researchers from the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering/Process and Environmental Engineering, were represented with the following presentations:
- Recent investigations into the fatigue strength of forged flanges in the support structure of offshore wind turbines
Ralf Glienke (Hochschule Wismar), Gregor Steglich (Hochschule Wismar), Markus Schröder (Hochschule Wismar), Florian Kalkowsky (Fraunhofer IGP Rostock), Maik Dörre (Fraunhofer IGP Rostock), Filip Wegener (JBO Engineering Group GmbH), Frithjof Marten (Hochschule Flensburg) - New Findings on the Fatigue Resistance of Non-welded Constructional Details in Steel Structures based on Small-Scale and Component Testing
Markus Schröder (Hochschule Wismar), Ralf Glienke (Hochschule Wismar), Daniela Schwerdt (Hochschule Wismar), Florian Kalkowsky (Fraunhofer IGP Rostock), Wilko Flügge (Fraunhofer IGP Rostock), Mohammad Aljomaa (IML Universität Duisburg-Essen), Natalie Stranghöner (IML Universität Duisburg-Essen)
The International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE) promotes technological progress in the interdisciplinary fields of offshore, ocean and polar engineering, as well as related technologies, through international collaboration. At the six-day ISOPE Conference 2026, researchers and scientists from over 40 countries took part, presenting a total of more than 370 peer-reviewed papers across 96 sessions.
