The NOM is based on so-called support, dual-support, nonlocal operators, and an operate energy functional ensuring stability. The nonlocal operator is a generalization of the conventional differential operators. Combined with the method of weighed residuals and variational principles, NOM establishes the residual and tangent stiffness matrix of operate energy functional through some simple matrix without the need of shape functions as in other classical computational methods such as FEM. NOM only requires the definition of the energy drastically simplifying its implementation. The implementation in this paper is focused on linear elastic solids for sake of conciseness through the NOM can handle more complex nonlinear problems. The NOM can be very flexible and efficient to solve partial differential equations (PDEs), it's also quite easy for readers to use the NOM and extend it to solve other complicated physical phenomena described by one or a set of PDEs. Finally, we present some classical benchmark problems including the classical cantilever beam and plate-with-a-hole problem, and we also make an extension of this method to solve complicated problems including phase-field fracture modeling and gradient elasticity material.}, subject = {Strukturmechanik}, language = {en} } @article{Zhang, author = {Zhang, Yongzheng}, title = {Nonlocal dynamic Kirchhoff plate formulation based on nonlocal operator method}, series = {Engineering with Computers}, volume = {2022}, journal = {Engineering with Computers}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {London}, doi = {10.1007/s00366-021-01587-1}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220209-45849}, pages = {1 -- 35}, abstract = {In this study, we propose a nonlocal operator method (NOM) for the dynamic analysis of (thin) Kirchhoff plates. The nonlocal Hessian operator is derived based on a second-order Taylor series expansion. The NOM does not require any shape functions and associated derivatives as 'classical' approaches such as FEM, drastically facilitating the implementation. Furthermore, NOM is higher order continuous, which is exploited for thin plate analysis that requires C1 continuity. The nonlocal dynamic governing formulation and operator energy functional for Kirchhoff plates are derived from a variational principle. The Verlet-velocity algorithm is used for the time discretization. After confirming the accuracy of the nonlocal Hessian operator, several numerical examples are simulated by the nonlocal dynamic Kirchhoff plate formulation.}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{WelchGuerra, author = {Welch Guerra, Max}, title = {Fach, Gesellschaft und Wissenschaft.

Most individuals do not realize that while indoors, roughly half of heat exchange affecting their thermal comfort is in the form of thermal infrared radiation. We show that while researchers have been aware of its thermal comfort significance over the past century, systemic error has crept into the most common evaluation techniques, preventing adequate characterization of the radiant environment. Measuring and characterizing radiant heat transfer is a critical component of both building energy efficiency and occupant thermal comfort and productivity. Globe thermometers are typically used to measure mean radiant temperature (MRT), a commonly used metric for accounting for the radiant effects of an environment at a point in space. In this paper we extend previous field work to a controlled laboratory setting to (1) rigorously demonstrate that existing correction factors used in the American Society of Heating Ventilation and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 55 or ISO7726 for using globe thermometers to quantify MRT are not sufficient; (2) develop a correction to improve the use of globe thermometers to address problems in the current standards; and (3) show that mean radiant temperature measured with ping-pong ball-sized globe thermometers is not reliable due to a stochastic convective bias. We also provide an analysis of the maximum precision of globe sensors themselves, a piece missing from the domain in contemporary literature.}, subject = {Strahlungstemperatur}, language = {en} } @article{TarabenMorgenthal, author = {Taraben, Jakob and Morgenthal, Guido}, title = {Integration and Comparison Methods for Multitemporal Image-Based 2D Annotations in Linked 3D Building Documentation}, series = {Remote Sensing}, volume = {2022}, journal = {Remote Sensing}, number = {Volume 14, issue 9, article 2286}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, doi = {10.3390/rs14092286}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220513-46488}, pages = {1 -- 20}, abstract = {Data acquisition systems and methods to capture high-resolution images or reconstruct 3D point clouds of existing structures are an effective way to document their as-is condition. These methods enable a detailed analysis of building surfaces, providing precise 3D representations. However, for the condition assessment and documentation, damages are mainly annotated in 2D representations, such as images, orthophotos, or technical drawings, which do not allow for the application of a 3D workflow or automated comparisons of multitemporal datasets. In the available software for building heritage data management and analysis, a wide range of annotation and evaluation functions are available, but they also lack integrated post-processing methods and systematic workflows. The article presents novel methods developed to facilitate such automated 3D workflows and validates them on a small historic church building in Thuringia, Germany. Post-processing steps using photogrammetric 3D reconstruction data along with imagery were implemented, which show the possibilities of integrating 2D annotations into 3D documentations. Further, the application of voxel-based methods on the dataset enables the evaluation of geometrical changes of multitemporal annotations in different states and the assignment to elements of scans or building models. The proposed workflow also highlights the potential of these methods for condition assessment and planning of restoration work, as well as the possibility to represent the analysis results in standardised building model formats.}, subject = {Bauwesen}, language = {en} } @article{SoebkeLueck, author = {S{\"o}bke, Heinrich and L{\"u}ck, Andrea}, title = {Framing Algorithm-Driven Development of Sets of Objectives Using Elementary Interactions}, series = {Applied System Innovation}, volume = {2022}, journal = {Applied System Innovation}, number = {Volume 5, issue 3, article 49}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, doi = {10.3390/asi5030049}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220713-46624}, pages = {1 -- 20}, abstract = {Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is an established methodology to support the decision-making of multi-objective problems.
