Our capabilities - MTU Power

Our design and analytical capabilities in detail

MTU offers its customers a whole range of well-established analytical and mechanical design capabilities that can be selected and tailored to their specific needs – starting from individual parts, ranging to advanced, multistage engine components and sophisticated processes, all the way up to entire engines. The process steps comprise multidisciplinary concept and detailed design, verification, optimization and analysis for individual parts, components or even an engine. They also include manufacturing support.

Aerodynamics

Cooling Design

Structural Integrity

Integrated processes for structural analysis and optimization of turbine and compressor airfoils, casings and rotors (including blisks) comprising
- Non-linear static, buckling, fatigue, creep and crack propagation evaluations
- Modal, forced response, non-linear damping and mistuning analyses
- Dynamic time domain assessments for bird strike and containment

Materials engineering

Mechanical design of parts and integration of components

MTU has all tools and processes in place including state of the art CAD capabilities. A digital engine is used through the whole product life cycle. A traceable and automated CAD-data exchange capability is available.
MTU offers the complete range of design activities from conceptual design through detail design to detail definition (manufacture definition) for a wide range of lightweight, highly loaded, high precision components.
The capabilities include design of blisks and forging and investment casting design of rotors and stators, vanes, blades and structural parts such as casings, interducts, bearing housings, struts etc.
We are familiar with lightweight, high strength and high temperature alloys and with the stringent risk minimization and safety requirements needed for aircraft applications.
We provide design optimization of parts, components and assemblies for manufacturing, cost, weight and performance as required and perform integration tasks like design and analysis of gaps and clearances for static and dynamic engine operation.

Engine performance and systems analysis

Engine systems

Secondary air and oil system and ball bearing design, analysis, optimization and validation
Electrical and mechanical design, qualification, production and product support of electronic systems
Control and monitoring system, hard- and software including validation for aero engines, various aerospace and automotive applications.
System Design - from the big picture to manageable, consistent units
- Definition of Systemarchitectures
- Alllocation of functions to subsystems,
- Breakdown and refinement of requirements, taking into accout the interests of all involved disciplines
- Definition of consistent interfaces
- Development of specifications on component level that are consistently derived from stakeholder and authority requirements
- Establishment of verification strategies
- Classification of failures and their impact on the system

Repair engineering

MTU offers fully integrated repair engineering support for various engine component and parts (predominantly air foils but other parts as well)
MTU’s own repair development improves costs and Turn Around Time and avoids restrictions by property rights.
This service includes the repair of coated parts in which the refurbishment enables MTU to even improve the OEM-part.
Our solutions extend from concept to validation and certification and also include production.
