Physics first
Model assumptions and nonlinear effects must fit the question. We discuss both before we compute.
About NoVibTech
For vibration problems beyond standard FE software.
We develop software and methods for the vibration behaviour of structures that are too complex for conventional FE packages. Our focus: nonlinear structural dynamics, contact mechanics and friction damping.
From research to application
Understand the methods. Build the tools.
NoVibTech was founded in 2018 on the initiative of Dr.-Ing. Johann Gross, a researcher at the University of Stuttgart, as a technology transfer and start-up unit within TTI GmbH. Since then, the team has completed numerous projects industrialising vibration prediction methods for customers in turbomachinery, automotive and the tool industry. In 2026, the independent NoVibTech GmbH was founded.
This background shapes our work: the method has to fit the physics, and the tool has to work in everyday engineering.
Milestones
Research that reaches practice.
Our methods are published and compared with measurements on test rigs and in the engine.
- 2018NoVibTech is founded
Technology transfer and start-up unit within TTI GmbH, Stuttgart.
- 2019OrAgL validated on the rig and in the engine
Published in the Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power. The same year, the Springer book “Harmonic Balance for Nonlinear Vibration Problems” appears.
- 2024Friction-saturated limit cycles on the test rig
A new test rig for self-excited vibration with friction; the measurements are compared with predictions by the OrAgL solver.
- 2026NoVibTech GmbH
NoVibTech becomes an independent limited company. OrAgL, ARGUS and engineering from a single source: input, run and result in one end-to-end, traceable workflow.
How we work
Keep the context
Inputs, runs and results belong together. That is exactly what ARGUS is built for.
Developed with research and industry
Exchange with the Institute of Aircraft Propulsion Systems, with users and development partners gives further development a concrete direction.
