Abstract: A method for directly determining a theoretical damage of at least one component of a device includes providing load-specific reference data in an evaluation unit, sensing actual load-specific data by a load sensing system, and transmitting the actual, load-specific data to the evaluation unit. The actual load-specific data includes classified load collectives comprising a dwell time of occurring damage variables at defined load levels, a number of load changes of occurring damage variables, and an event count of occurring damage variables. The method further includes scaling the load-specific reference data to the actual load-specific data for calculating the theoretical damage of the at least one component and determining a remaining service life.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a condition of a sliding bearing operated with lubricating oil for a rotating component includes calculating, by a control unit as an output variable of a sliding bearing model, a calculated value of a minimum gap thickness of the sliding bearing. The calculated value is calculated by orbit analysis from at least one physical sliding bearing model to which at least a rotational speed of the rotating component, a bearing load, and a temperature of the sliding bearing are supplied as input variables. The method further includes measuring, with at least one sensor, a minimum gap thickness to provide a measured value of the minimum gap thickness, and comparing the measured value of the minimum gap thickness with the calculated value of the minimum gap thickness for the purpose of adjustment.

Abstract: A method for detecting damage and determining a type of damage and a degree or severity of damage to a component of a transmission. The method includes providing a first image of a portion of the component in a reference state and detecting a further image of the portion of the component after intended use. The further image of the portion of the component is detected in an installed state of the component. The method further includes determining, by comparing the further image with the first image, that the component is damaged, determining, by matching the further image against data of a damage database, a type of damage, and outputting the determined type of damage and a degree or severity of damage. The first image, the further image, and the data of the damage database are photographs.

Abstract: A B column of a motor vehicle having a high strength and rigidity in the attachment area of door hinges and door locks and able to protect the occupants of the vehicle in the event of a side crash is provided. The B column includes a reinforcement plate, which extends over the entire height of the B column. Because the requirements for this reinforcement plate are not equally great in all areas, the reinforcement plate is a reshaped tailored rolled blank. The tailored rolled blank is produced by flexible rolling and has different thicknesses transversely to the rolling direction. It is thus especially thick in the areas on which especially high strength and rigidity requirements are placed, while it is implemented as correspondingly thin in the areas which must only fulfill low strength and rigidity requirements.
