To this end, it is required to provide the FEM software with a geometric model that is typically constructed in a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. However, FEM and CAD use different approaches for the mathematical description of the geometry. Thus, it is required to generate a mesh, which is suitable for FEM, based on the CAD model. Nonetheless, this procedure is not a trivial task and it can be time consuming. This issue becomes more significant for solving shape and topology optimization problems, which consist in evolving the geometry iteratively. Therefore, the computational cost associated to the mesh generation process is increased exponentially for this type of applications. The main goal of this work is to investigate the integration of CAD and CAE in shape and topology optimization. To this end, numerical tools that close the gap between design and analysis are presented. The specific objectives of this work are listed below: • Automatize the sensitivity analysis in an isogeometric framework for applications in shape optimization. Applications for linear elasticity are considered. • A methodology is developed for providing a direct link between the CAD model and the analysis mesh. In consequence, the sensitivity analysis can be performed in terms of the design variables located in the design model. • The last objective is to develop an isogeometric method for shape and topological optimization. This method should take advantage of using Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) with higher continuity as basis functions. Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) is a framework designed to integrate the design and analysis in engineering problems. The fundamental idea of IGA is to use the same basis functions for modeling the geometry, usually NURBS, for the approximation of the solution fields. The advantage of integrating design and analysis is two-fold. First, the analysis stage is more accurate since the system of PDEs is not solved using an approximated geometry, but the exact CAD model. Moreover, providing a direct link between the design and analysis discretizations makes possible the implementation of efficient sensitivity analysis methods. Second, the computational time is significantly reduced because the mesh generation process can be avoided. Sensitivity analysis is essential for solving optimization problems when gradient-based optimization algorithms are employed. Automatic differentiation can compute exact gradients, automatically by tracking the algebraic operations performed on the design variables. For the automation of the sensitivity analysis, an isogeometric framework is used. Here, the analysis mesh is obtained after carrying out successive refinements, while retaining the coarse geometry for the domain design. An automatic differentiation (AD) toolbox is used to perform the sensitivity analysis. The AD toolbox takes the code for computing the objective and constraint functions as input. Then, using a source code transformation approach, it outputs a code for computing the objective and constraint functions, and their sensitivities as well. The sensitivities obtained from the sensitivity propagation method are compared with analytical sensitivities, which are computed using a full isogeometric approach. The computational efficiency of AD is comparable to that of analytical sensitivities. However, the memory requirements are larger for AD. Therefore, AD is preferable if the memory requirements are satisfied. Automatic sensitivity analysis demonstrates its practicality since it simplifies the work of engineers and designers. Complex geometries with sharp edges and/or holes cannot easily be described with NURBS. One solution is the use of unstructured meshes. Simplex-elements (triangles and tetrahedra for two and three dimensions respectively) are particularly useful since they can automatically parameterize a wide variety of domains. In this regard, unstructured B{\´e}zier elements, commonly used in CAD, can be employed for the exact modelling of CAD boundary representations. In two dimensions, the domain enclosed by NURBS curves is parameterized with B{\´e}zier triangles. To describe exactly the boundary of a two-dimensional CAD model, the continuity of a NURBS boundary representation is reduced to C^0. Then, the control points are used to generate a triangulation such that the boundary of the domain is identical to the initial CAD boundary representation. Thus, a direct link between the design and analysis discretizations is provided and the sensitivities can be propagated to the design domain. In three dimensions, the initial CAD boundary representation is given as a collection of NURBS surfaces that enclose a volume. Using a mesh generator (Gmsh), a tetrahedral mesh is obtained. The original surface is reconstructed by modifying the location of the control points of the tetrahedral mesh using B{\´e}zier tetrahedral elements and a point inversion algorithm. This method offers the possibility of computing the sensitivity analysis using the analysis mesh. Then, the sensitivities can be propagated into the design discretization. To reuse the mesh originally generated, a moving B{\´e}zier tetrahedral mesh approach was implemented. A gradient-based optimization algorithm is employed together with a sensitivity propagation procedure for the shape optimization cases. The proposed shape optimization approaches are used to solve some standard benchmark problems in structural mechanics. The results obtained show that the proposed approach can compute accurate gradients and evolve the geometry towards optimal solutions. In three dimensions, the moving mesh approach results in faster convergence in terms of computational time and avoids remeshing at each optimization step. For considering topological changes in a CAD-based framework, an isogeometric phase-field based shape and topology optimization is developed. In this case, the diffuse interface of a phase-field variable over a design domain implicitly describes the boundaries of the geometry. The design variables are the local values of the phase-field variable. The descent direction to minimize the objective function is found by using the sensitivities of the objective function with respect to the design variables. The evolution of the phase-field is determined by solving the time dependent Allen-Cahn equation. Especially for topology optimization problems that require C^1 continuity, such as for flexoelectric structures, the isogeometric phase field method is of great advantage. NURBS can achieve the desired continuity more efficiently than the traditional employed functions. The robustness of the method is demonstrated when applied to different geometries, boundary conditions, and material configurations. The applications illustrate that compared to piezoelectricity, the electrical performance of flexoelectric microbeams is larger under bending. In contrast, the electrical power for a structure under compression becomes larger with piezoelectricity.}, subject = {CAD}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Mojahedin, author = {Mojahedin, Arvin}, title = {Analysis of Functionally Graded Porous Materials Using Deep Energy Method and Analytical Solution}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4867}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20221220-48674}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, abstract = {Porous materials are an emerging branch of engineering materials that are composed of two elements: One element is a solid (matrix), and the other element is either liquid or gas. Pores can be distributed within the solid matrix of porous materials with different shapes and sizes. In addition, porous materials are lightweight, and flexible, and have higher resistance to crack propagation and specific thermal, mechanical, and magnetic properties. These properties are necessary for manufacturing engineering structures such as beams and other engineering structures. These materials are widely used in solid mechanics and are considered a good replacement for classical materials by many researchers recently. Producing lightweight materials has been developed because of the possibility of exploiting the properties of these materials. Various types of porous material are generated naturally or artificially for a specific application such as bones and foams. Like functionally graded materials, pore distribution patterns can be uniform or non-uniform. Biot's theory is a well-developed theory to study the behavior of poroelastic materials which investigates the interaction between fluid and solid phases of a fluid-saturated porous medium. Functionally graded porous materials (FGPM) are widely used in modern industries, such as aerospace, automotive, and biomechanics. These advanced materials have some specific properties compared to materials with a classic structure. They are extremely light, while they have specific strength in mechanical and high-temperature environments. FGPMs are characterized by a gradual variation of material parameters over the volume. Although these materials can be made naturally, it is possible to design and manufacture them for a specific application. Therefore, many studies have been done to analyze the mechanical and thermal properties of FGPM structures, especially beams. Biot was the pioneer in formulating the linear elasticity and thermoelasticity equations of porous material. Since then, Biot's formulation has been developed in continuum mechanics which is named poroelasticity. There are obstacles to analyzing the behavior of these materials accurately like the shape of the pores, the distribution of pores in the material, and the behavior of the fluid (or gas) that saturated pores. Indeed, most of the engineering structures made of FGPM have nonlinear governing equations. Therefore, it is difficult to study engineering structures by solving these complicated equations. The main purpose of this dissertation is to analyze porous materials in engineering structures. For this purpose, the complex equations of porous materials have been simplified and applied to engineering problems so that the effect of all parameters of porous materials on the behavior of engineering structure has been investigated. The effect of important parameters of porous materials on beam behavior including pores compressibility, porosity distribution, thermal expansion of fluid within pores, the interaction of stresses between pores and material matrix due to temperature increase, effects of pore size, material thickness, and saturated pores with fluid and unsaturated conditions are investigated. Two methods, the deep energy method, and the exact solution have been used to reduce the problem hypotheses, increase accuracy, increase processing speed, and apply these in engineering structures. In both methods, they are analyzed nonlinear and complex equations of porous materials. To increase the accuracy of analysis and study of the effect of shear forces, Timoshenko and Reddy's beam theories have been used. Also, neural networks such as residual and fully connected networks are designed to have high accuracy and less processing time than other computational methods.}, subject = {Por{\"o}ser Stoff}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Arganaraz, author = {Arga{\~n}araz, Cecilia Magdalena}, title = {Tiempos imaginados y espacios {\´a}ridos: controversias en torno al agua en el Valle de Catamarca (siglos XIX-XX)}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4681}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220803-46817}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, abstract = {The thesis addresses journalistic, administrative and judicial historical documentation to analyze the links between aridity and geographical imaginaries in the province of Catamarca (Argentina), from a historical point of view.

Feuchteinwirkung f{\"u}hrt zudem zu starken Festigkeitsverlusten. Aus diesem Grund werden diese Bindemittel ausschließlich f{\"u}r Baustoffe und -produkte im Innenbereich ohne permanenten Feuchtebeanspruchung eingesetzt. Eine M{\"o}glichkeit, die Feuchtebest{\"a}ndigkeit zu erh{\"o}hen, ist die Beimischung puzzolanischer und zement{\"a}rer Komponenten. Diese Mischsysteme werden Gips-Zement-Puzzolan-Bindemittel (kurz: GZPB) genannt. Mischungen aus Calciumsulfaten und Portlandzementen allein sind aufgrund der treibenden Ettringitbildung nicht raumbest{\"a}ndig. Durch die Zugabe von puzzolanischen Stoffen k{\"o}nnen aber Bedingungen im hydratisierenden System geschaffen werden, welche eine rissfreie Erh{\"a}rtung erm{\"o}glichen. Hierf{\"u}r ist eine exakte Rezeptierung der GZPB notwendig, um die GZPB-typischen, ettringitbedingten Dehnungen zeitlich zu begrenzen. Insbesondere bei alumosilikatischen Puzzolanen treten w{\"a}hrend der Hydratation gegen{\"u}ber rein silikatischen Puzzolanen deutlich h{\"o}here Expansionen auf, wodurch die Gefahr einer potenziellen Rissbildung steigt. F{\"u}r die Erstellung geeigneter GZPB-Zusammensetzungen bedarf es daher einer Methodik, um raumbest{\"a}ndig erh{\"a}rtende Systeme sicher von destruktiven Mischungen unterscheiden zu k{\"o}nnen. Sowohl f{\"u}r die Rezeptierung als auch f{\"u}r die Anwendung der GZPB existieren in Deutschland keinerlei Normen. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus sind die Hydratationsvorg{\"a}nge sowie die entstehenden Produkte nicht konsistent beschrieben. Auch auf die Besonderheiten der GZPB mit alumosilikatischen Puzzolanen wird in der Literatur nur unzureichend eingegangen. Ziel war es daher, ein grundlegendes Verst{\"a}ndnis der Hydratation sowie eine sichere Methodik zur Rezeptierung raumbest{\"a}ndig und rissfrei erh{\"a}rtender GZPB, insbesondere in Hinblick auf die Verwendung alumosilikatischer Puzzolane, zu erarbeiten. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus sollte systematisch der Einfluss der Einzelkomponenten auf Hydratation und Eigenschaften dieser Bindemittelsysteme untersucht werden. Dies soll erm{\"o}glichen, die GZPB f{\"u}r ein breites Anwendungsspektrum als Bindemittel zu etablieren, und somit vorteilhafte Eigenschaften der Calciumsulfate (geringe Schwindneigung, geringe CO2-Emission etc.) mit der Leistungs-f{\"a}higkeit von Zementen (Wasserbest{\"a}ndigkeit, Festigkeit, Dauerhaftigkeit etc.) zu verbinden. Als Ausgangsstoffe der Untersuchungen zu den GZPB wurden Stuckgips und Alpha-Halbhydrat als Calciumsulfatbindemittel in unterschiedlichen Anteilen im GZPB verwendet. Die Puzzolan-Zement-Verh{\"a}ltnisse wurden ebenfalls variiert. Als Puzzolan kam f{\"u}r den Großteil der Untersuchungen ein alumosilikatisches Metakaolin zum Einsatz. Als kalkspendende Komponente diente ein reiner Portlandzement. Das Untersuchungsprogramm gliederte sich in 4 Teile. Zuerst wurde anhand von CaO- und pH-Wert-Messungen in Suspensionen sowie dem L{\"a}ngen{\"a}nderungsverhalten von Bindemittelleimen verschiedener Zusammensetzungen eine Vorauswahl geeigneter GZPB-Rezepturen ermittelt. Danach erfolgten, ebenfalls an Bindemittelleimen, Untersuchungen zu den Eigenschaften der als geeignet eingesch{\"a}tzten GZPB-Mischungen. Hierzu z{\"a}hlten Langzeitbetrachtungen zur rissfreien Erh{\"a}rtung bei unterschiedlichen Umgebungsbedingungen sowie die Festigkeitsentwicklung im trockenen und feuchten Zustand. Im n{\"a}chsten Schritt wurde anhand zweier exemplarischer GZPB-Zusammensetzungen (mit silikatischen und alumosilikatischen Puzzolan) die prinzipiell m{\"o}gliche Phasenzusammensetzung unter Variation des Puzzolan-Zement-Verh{\"a}ltnisses (P/Z-Verh{\"a}ltnis) und des Calciumsulfatanteils im thermodynamischen Gleichgewichtszustand berechnet. Hier wurde im Besonderen auf Unterschiede der silikatischen und alumosilikatischen Puzzolane eingegangen. Im letzten Teil der Untersuchungen wurden die Hydratationskinetik der GZPB sowie die Gef{\"u}geentwicklung n{\"a}her betrachtet. Hierf{\"u}r wurden die Porenl{\"o}sungen chemisch analysiert und S{\"a}ttigungsindizes berechnet, sowie elektronenmikropische, porosimetrische und r{\"o}ntgenografische Untersuchungen durchgef{\"u}hrt. Abschließend wurden die Ergebnisse gesamtheitlich interpretiert, da die Ergebnisse der einzelnen Untersuchungsprogramme miteinander in Wechselwirkung stehen. Als haupts{\"a}chliche Hydratationsprodukte wurden Calciumsulfat-Dihydrat, Ettringit und C-(A)-S-H-Phasen ermittelt, deren Anteile im GZPB neben dem Calciumsulfatanteil und dem Puzzolan-Zement-Verh{\"a}ltnis auch deutlich vom Wasserangebot und der Gef{\"u}geentwicklung abh{\"a}ngen. Bei Verwendung von alumosilikatischen Puzzolans kommt es wahrscheinlich zur teilweisen Substitution des Siliciums durch Aluminium in den C-S-H-Phasen. Dies erscheint aufgrund des Nachweises der f{\"u}r diese Phasen typischen, folienartigen Morphologie wahrscheinlich. Portlandit wurde in raumbest{\"a}ndigen GZPB-Systemen nur zu sehr fr{\"u}hen Zeitpunkten in geringen Mengen gefunden. In den Untersuchungen konnte ein Teil der in der Literatur beschriebenen, prinzipiellen Hydratationsabl{\"a}ufe best{\"a}tigt werden. Bei Verwendung von Halbhydrat als Calciumsulfatkomponente entsteht zuerst Dihydrat und bildet die Prim{\"a}rstruktur der GZPB. In dieses existierende Grundgef{\"u}ge kristallisieren dann das Ettringit und die C-(A)-S-H-Phasen. In den GZPB sorgen entgegen der Beschreibungen in der Literatur nicht ausschließlich die C-(A)-S-H-Phasen zur Verbesserung der Feuchtebest{\"a}ndigkeit und der Erh{\"o}hung des Festigkeitsniveaus, sondern auch das Ettringit. Beide Phasen {\"u}berwachsen im zeitlichen Verlauf der Hydratation die Dihydratkristalle in der Matrix und h{\"u}llen diese - je nach Calciumsulfatanteil im GZPB - teilweise oder vollst{\"a}ndig ein. Diese Umh{\"u}llung sowie die starke Gef{\"u}geverdichtung durch die C-(A)-S-H-Phasen und das Ettringit bedingen, dass ein l{\"o}sender Angriff durch Wasser erschwert oder gar verhindert wird. Gleichzeitig wird die Gleitf{\"a}higkeit an den Kontaktstellen der Dihydratkristalle verringert. Eine rissfreie und raumbest{\"a}ndige Erh{\"a}rtung ist f{\"u}r die gefahrlose Anwendung eines GZPB-Systems essentiell. Hierf{\"u}r ist die Kinetik der Ettringitbildung von elementarer Bedeutung. Die gebildete Ettringitmenge spielt nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. Selbst ausgepr{\"a}gte, ettringitbedingte Dehnungen und hohe sich bildende Mengen f{\"u}hren zu fr{\"u}hen Zeitpunkten, wenn die Dihydratkristalle noch leicht gegeneinander verschiebbar sind, zu keinen Sch{\"a}den. Bleibt die {\"U}bers{\"a}ttigung bez{\"u}glich Ettringit und somit auch der Kristallisationsdruck allerdings {\"u}ber einen langen Zeitraum hoch, gen{\"u}gen bereits geringe Ettringitmengen, um das sich stetig verfestigende Gef{\"u}ge stark zu sch{\"a}digen. Die f{\"u}r die raumbest{\"a}ndige Erh{\"a}rtung der GZPB notwendige, schnelle Abnahme der Ettringit{\"u}bers{\"a}ttigung wird haupts{\"a}chlich durch die Reaktivit{\"a}t des Puzzolans beeinflusst. Die puzzolanische Reaktion f{\"u}hrt zur Bindung des aus dem Zement stammenden Calciumhydroxid durch die Bildung von C-(A)-S-H-Phasen und Ettringit. Hierdurch sinkt die Calcium- und Hydroxidionenkonzentration in der Porenl{\"o}sung im Verlauf der Hydratation, wodurch auch die {\"U}bers{\"a}ttigung bez{\"u}glich Ettringit abnimmt. Je h{\"o}her die Reaktivit{\"a}t des Puzzolans ist, desto schneller sinkt der S{\"a}ttigungsindex des Ettringits und somit auch der Kristallisationsdruck. Nach Unterschreiten eines noch n{\"a}her zu kl{\"a}rendem Grenzwert der {\"U}bers{\"a}ttigung stagnieren die Dehnungen. Das Ettringit kristallisiert bzw. w{\"a}chst nun bevorzugt in den Poren ohne eine weitere, {\"a}ußere Volumenzunahme zu verursachen. Um eine schadensfreie Erh{\"a}rtung des GZPB zu gew{\"a}hrleisten, muss gerade in der fr{\"u}hen Phase der Hydratation ein ausreichendes Wasserangebot gew{\"a}hrleistet werden, so dass die Ettringitbildung m{\"o}glichst vollst{\"a}ndig ablaufen kann. Andernfalls kann es bei einer Wiederbefeuchtung zur Reaktivierung der Ettringitbildung kommen, was im eingebauten Zustand Sch{\"a}den verursachen kann. Die Gew{\"a}hrleistung eines ausreichenden Wasserangebots ist im GZPB-System nicht unproblematisch. In Abh{\"a}ngigkeit der GZPB-Zusammensetzung k{\"o}nnen sich große Ettringitmengen bilden, die einen sehr hohen Wasserbedarf aufweisen. Deshalb kann es, je nach verwendeten Wasser-Bindemittel-Wert, im Bindemittelleim zu einem Wassermangel kommen, welcher die weitere Hydratation verlangsamt bzw. komplett verhindert. Zudem k{\"o}nnen GZPB-Systeme teils sehr dichte Gef{\"u}ge ausbilden, wodurch der Wassertransport zum Reaktionsort des Ettringits zus{\"a}tzlich behindert wird. Die Konzeption raumbest{\"a}ndiger GZPB-Systeme muss anhand mehrerer aufeinander aufbauender Untersuchungen erfolgen. Zur Vorauswahl geeigneter Puzzolan-Zementverh{\"a}ltnisse eignen sich die Messungen der CaO-Konzentration und des pH-Wertes in Suspensionen. Als alleinige Beurteilungsgrundlage reicht dies allerdings nicht aus. Zus{\"a}tzlich muss das L{\"a}ngen{\"a}nderungs-verhalten beurteilt werden. Raumbest{\"a}ndige Mischungen mit alumosilikatischen Puzzolanen zeigen zu fr{\"u}hen Zeitpunkten starke Dehnungen, welche dann abrupt stagnieren. Stetige - auch geringe - Dehnungen weisen auf eine destruktive Zusammensetzung hin. Mit diesem mehrstufigen Vorgehen k{\"o}nnen raumbest{\"a}ndige, stabile GZPB-Systeme konzipiert werden, so dass die Zielstellung der Arbeit erreicht wurde und ein sicherer praktischer Einsatz dieser Bindemittelart gew{\"a}hrleistet werden kann.  }, subject = {Gips}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Malik, author = {Malik, Irfan}, title = {An adaptive contact formulation for Isogeometric Finite Element Analysis}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4612}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220324-46129}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {124}, abstract = {Numerical simulation of physical phenomena, like electro-magnetics, structural and fluid mechanics is essential for the cost- and time-efficient development of mechanical products at high quality. It allows to investigate the behavior of a product or a system far before the first prototype of a product is manufactured. This thesis addresses the simulation of contact mechanics. Mechanical contacts appear in nearly every product of mechanical engineering. Gearboxes, roller bearings, valves and pumps are only some examples. Simulating these systems not only for the maximal/minimal stresses and strains but for the stress-distribution in case of tribo-contacts is a challenging task from a numerical point of view. Classical procedures like the Finite Element Method suffer from the nonsmooth representation of contact surfaces with discrete Lagrange elements. On the one hand, an error due to the approximate description of the surface is introduced. On the other hand it is difficult to attain a robust contact search because surface normals can not be described in a unique form at element edges. This thesis introduces therefore a novel approach, the adaptive isogeometric contact formulation based on polynomial Splines over hierarchical T-meshes (PHT-Splines), for the approximate solution of the non-linear contact problem. It provides a more accurate, robust and efficient solution compared to conventional methods. During the development of this method the focus was laid on the solution of static contact problems without friction in 2D and 3D in which the structures undergo small deformations. The mathematical description of the problem entails a system of partial differential equations and boundary conditions which model the linear elastic behaviour of continua. Additionally, it comprises side conditions, the Karush-Kuhn-Tuckerconditions, to prevent the contacting structures from non-physical penetration. The mathematical model must be transformed into its integral form for approximation of the solution. Employing a penalty method, contact constraints are incorporated by adding the resulting equations in weak form to the overall set of equations. For an efficient space discretization of the bulk and especially the contact boundary of the structures, the principle of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) is applied. Isogeometric Finite Element Methods provide several advantages over conventional Finite Element discretization. Surface approximation with Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) allow a robust numerical solution of the contact problem with high accuracy in terms of an exact geometry description including the surface smoothness. The numerical evaluation of the contact integral is challenging due to generally non-conforming meshes of the contacting structures. In this work the highly accurate Mortar Method is applied in the isogeometric setting for the evaluation of contact contributions. This leads to an algebraic system of equations that is linearized and solved in sequential steps. This procedure is known as the Newton Raphson Method. Based on numerical examples, the advantages of the isogeometric approach with classical refinement strategies, like the p- and h-refinement, are shown and the influence of relevant algorithmic parameters on the approximate solution of the contact problem is verified. One drawback of the Spline approximations of stresses though is that they lack accuracy at the contact edge where the structures change their boundary from contact to no contact and where the solution features a kink. The approximation with smooth Spline functions yields numerical artefacts in the form of non-physical oscillations. This property of the numerical solution is not only a drawback for the simulation of e.g. tribological contacts, it also influences the convergence properties of iterative solution procedures negatively. Hence, the NURBS discretized geometries are transformed to Polynomial Splines over Hierarchical T-meshes (PHT-Splines), for the local refinement along contact edges to reduce the artefact of pressure oscillations. NURBS have a tensor product structure which does not allow to refine only certain parts of the geometrical domain while leaving other parts unchanged. Due to the B{\´e}zier Extraction, lying behind the transformation from NURBS to PHT-Splines, the connected mesh structure is broken up into separate elements. This allows an efficient local refinement along the contact edge. Before single elements are refined in a hierarchical form with cross-insertion, existing basis functions must be modified or eliminated. This process of truncation assures local and global linear independence of the refined basis which is needed for a unique approximate solution. The contact boundary is a priori unknown. Local refinement along the contact edge, especially for 3D problems, is for this reason not straight forward. In this work the use of an a posteriori error estimation procedure, the Super Convergent Recovery Solution Based Error Estimation Scheme, together with the D{\"o}rfler Marking Method is suggested for the spatial search of the contact edge. Numerical examples show that the developed method improves the quality of solutions along the contact edge significantly compared to NURBS based approximate solutions. Also, the error in maximum contact pressures, which correlates with the pressure artefacts, is minimized by the adaptive local refinement. In a final step the practicability of the developed solution algorithm is verified by an industrial application: The highly loaded mechanical contact between roller and cam in the drive train of a high-pressure fuel pump is considered.}, subject = {Isogeometrische Analyse}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{ShaabanMohamed, author = {Shaaban Mohamed, Ahmed Mostafa}, title = {Isogeometric boundary element analysis and structural shape optimization for Helmholtz acoustic problems}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4703}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220816-47030}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, abstract = {In this thesis, a new approach is developed for applications of shape optimization on the time harmonic wave propagation (Helmholtz equation) for acoustic problems.

BEM is superior for handling unbounded domains by modeling only the inner boundaries and avoiding the truncation error, present in the finite element method (FEM) since BEM solutions satisfy the Sommerfeld radiation condition automatically. Moreover, BEM reduces the space dimension by one from a volumetric three-dimensional problem to a surface two-dimensional problem, or from a surface two-dimensional problem to a perimeter one-dimensional problem. Non-uniform rational B-splines basis functions (NURBS) are used in an isogeometric setting to describe both the CAD geometries and the physical fields. IGABEM is coupled with one of the gradient-free optimization methods, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for structural shape optimization problems. PSO is a straightforward method since it does not require any sensitivity analysis but it has some trade-offs with regard to the computational cost. Coupling IGA with optimization problems enables the NURBS basis functions to represent the three models: shape design, analysis and optimization models, by a definition of a set of control points to be the control variables and the optimization parameters as well which enables an easy transition between the three models. Acoustic shape optimization for various frequencies in different mediums is performed with PSO and the results are compared with the benchmark solutions from the literature for different dimensional problems proving the efficiency of the proposed approach with the following remarks: - In 2D problems, two BEM methods are used: the conventional isogeometric boundary element method (IGABEM) and the eXtended IGABEM (XIBEM) enriched with the partition-of-unity expansion using a set of plane waves, where the results are generally in good agreement with the linterature with some computation advantage to XIBEM which allows coarser meshes. -In 3D axi-symmetric problems, the three-dimensional problem is simplified in BEM from a surface integral to a combination of two 1D integrals. The first is the line integral similar to a two-dimensional BEM problem. The second integral is performed over the angle of revolution. The discretization is applied only to the former integration. This leads to significant computational savings and, consequently, better treatment for higher frequencies over the full three-dimensional models. - In fully 3D problems, a detailed comparison between two BEM methods: the conventional boundary integral equation (CBIE) and Burton-Miller (BM) is provided including the computational cost. The proposed models are enhanced with a modified collocation scheme with offsets to Greville abscissae to avoid placing collocation points at the corners. Placing collocation points on smooth surface enables accurate evaluation of normals for BM formulation in addition to straightforward prediction of jump-terms and avoids singularities in \$\mathcal{O} (1/r)\$ integrals eliminating the need for polar integration. Furthermore, no additional special treatment is required for the hyper-singular integral while collocating on highly distorted elements, such as those containing sphere poles. The obtained results indicate that, CBIE with PSO is a feasible alternative (except for a small number of fictitious frequencies) which is easier to implement. Furthermore, BM presents an outstanding treatment of the complicated geometry of mufflers with internal extended inlet/outlet tube as an interior 3D Helmholtz acoustic problem instead of using mixed or dual BEM.}, subject = {Randelemente-Methode}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Cicek, author = {Cicek, Burhan}, title = {Revisiting vernacular technique: Engineering a low environmental impact earth stabilisation method}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4698}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220803-46989}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {195}, abstract = {The major drawbacks of earth as a construction material — such as its low water stability and moderate strength — have led mankind to stabilize earth. Different civilizations developed vernacular techniques mainly focussing on lime, pozzolan or gypsum stabilization. Recently, cement has become the most commonly used additive in earth stabilization as it improves the strength and durability of plain earth. Also, it is a familiar and globally available construction material. However, using cement as an additive reduces the environmental advantages of earth and run counter to global targets regarding the reduction of CO2 emissions. Alternatives to cement stabilization are currently neither efficient enough to reduce its environmental impact nor allow the possibility of obtaining better results than those of cement. As such, this thesis deals with the rediscovery of a reverse engineering approach for a low environmental impact earth stabilization technique, aiming to replace cement in earth stabilization. The first step in the method consists in a comprehensive review of earth stabilization with regards to earthen building standards and soil classification, which allows us to identify the research gap. The review showed that there is great potential in using other additives which result in similar improvements as those achieved by cement. However, the studies that have been conducted so far either use expansive soils, which are not suitable for earth constructions or artificial pozzolans that indirectly contribute to CO2 emissions. This is the main research gap. The key concept for the development in the second step of the method is to combine vernacular additives to both improve the strength and durability of plain earth and to reduce the CO2 emissions. Various earth-mixtures were prepared and both development and performance tests were done to investigate the performance of this technique. The laboratory analyses on mix-design have proven a high durability and the results show a remarkable increase in strength performance. Furthermore, a significant reduction in CO2 emissions in comparison to cement stabilization could be shown. The third step of the method discusses the results drawn from the experimental programme. In addition, the potential of the new earth mixture with regards to its usability in the field of building construction and architectural design is further elaborated on. The method used in this study is the first of its kind that allows investors to avoid the very time-consuming processes such as finding a suitable source for soil excavation and soil classification. The developed mixture has significant workability and suitability for production of stabilized earthen panels — the very first of its kind. Such a panel is practically feasible, reasonable, and could be integrated into earthen building standards in general and in particular to DIN 18948, which is related to earthen boards and published in 2018.}, subject = {Lehm}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Damir, author = {Damir, Mirhan}, title = {Recalling the Omitted: Exploring the Spatial Development of the Modern Industrial Legacies in Egypt.

The past decade has witnessed increasing scholarly and governmental attempts toward conserving modern industrial heritage in the so-called Global North, with the goal, among others, of leveraging this heritage as a driver for urban economic development. In Egypt, the process continues to lag behind; on the one hand, this is due to the perplexing official recognition of the (in)tangible witnesses of modern industries. On the other hand, the official recognition and previous publications focus predominantly on weighing the significance of industrial structures based on their monumental architectural aesthetics. Their historical urban role and spatial attributes as part of urban heritage have yet to be seriously acknowledged. Accordingly, this hinders the integration of the extant industrial sites into the broader debate surrounding urban conservation, leaving them vulnerable to decay and destruction. This dissertation steers away from the singular investigation of selective modern industrial sites to recall their historical spatial development on a city scale. This is effected by investigating a case study - the Egyptian port city of Alexandria. With the limited secondary data available on modern industries in Alexandria, this dissertation relied predominantly on primary sources. The author collected and leveraged both quantitative and qualitative data to recontextualize modern industries in terms of their spatial dynamics, order, and rationale within cities' transformation. By recalling historical spatial development in Alexandria, the contribution of this dissertation lies in highlighting what the author refers to as the Omitted Heritage. This is defined by the modern industries in Egypt that are intentionally, unintentionally, and forgetfully excluded in terms of physical documentation, evaluation, appreciation, and integration within urban development plans. The method used excavated the richness of the established modern industries in Alexandria in terms of their quantity and diversity, which would have otherwise remained largely forgotten. The contextualization of modern industries unveiled spatial periodization, spatial dynamics, and conceptual development. The study draws on important analytical aspects that transcend the sites' boundaries, elevating their significance to the municipal, regional, national, and even global levels. Its recommendations for further research are also divided into those levels.}, subject = {{\"A}gypten}, language = {en} }
