High-frequency electromagnetic (HF-EM) measurement techniques, i.e., time or frequency domain reflectometry, offer useful tools for quantitative estimation of water content in porous media. However, despite the efficiency of HF-EM methods, the relationship between water content and dielectric material properties needs to be characterized. Moreover, the high amount of swelling clay in the COx clay leads to dielectric relaxation effects which induce strong dispersion coupled with high absorption of EM waves. Against this background, the dielectric relaxation behavior of the clay rock was studied at frequencies from 1 MHz to 10 GHz with network analyzer technique in combination with coaxial transmission line cells. For this purpose, undisturbed and disturbed clay rock samples were conditioned to achieve a water saturation range from 0.16 to nearly saturation. The relaxation behavior was quantified based on a generalized fractional relaxation model under consideration of an apparent direct current conductivity assuming three relaxation processes: a high-frequency water process and two interface processes which are related to interactions between the aqueous pore solution and mineral particles (adsorbed/hydrated water relaxation, counter ion relaxation and Maxwell-Wagner effects). The frequency-dependent HF-EM properties were further modeled based on a novel hydraulic-mechanical-electromagnetic coupling approach developed for soils. The results show the potential of HF-EM techniques for quantitative monitoring of the hydraulic state in underground repositories in clay formations.}, subject = {Lehm}, language = {en} } @article{VoelkerBeckmannKoehlmannetal., author = {V{\"o}lker, Conrad and Beckmann, Julia and Koehlmann, Sandra and Kornadt, Oliver}, title = {Occupant requirements in residential buildings - an empirical study and a theoretical model}, series = {Advances in Building Energy Research}, journal = {Advances in Building Energy Research}, number = {7 (1)}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3813}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20181015-38137}, pages = {35 -- 50}, abstract = {Occupant needs with regard to residential buildings are not well known due to a lack of representative scientific studies. To improve the lack of data, a large scale study was carried out using a Post Occupancy Evaluation of 1,416 building occupants. Several criteria describing the needs of occupants were evaluated with regard to their subjective level of relevance. Additionally, we investigated the degree to which deficiencies subjectively exist, and the degree to which occupants were able to accept them. From the data obtained, a hierarchy of criteria was created. It was found that building occupants ranked the physiological needs of air quality and thermal comfort the highest. Health hazards such as mould and contaminated building materials were unacceptable for occupants, while other deficiencies were more likely to be tolerated. Occupant satisfaction was also investigated. We found that most occupants can be classified as satisfied, although some differences do exist between different populations. To explain the relationship between the constructs of what we call relevance, acceptance, deficiency and satisfaction, we then created an explanatory model. Using correlation and regression analysis, the validity of the model was then confirmed by applying the collected data. The results of the study are both relevant in shaping further research and in providing guidance on how to maximize tenant satisfaction in real estate management.}, subject = {Post Occupancy Evaluation}, language = {en} } @article{VuBacNguyenXuanChenetal., author = {Vu-Bac, N. and Nguyen-Xuan, Hung and Chen, Lei and Lee, C.K. and Zi, Goangseup and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Liu, G.R. and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {A phantom-node method with edge-based strain smoothing for linear elastic fracture mechanics}, series = {Journal of Applied Mathematics}, journal = {Journal of Applied Mathematics}, doi = {10.1155/2013/978026}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170426-31676}, abstract = {This paper presents a novel numerical procedure based on the combination of an edge-based smoothed finite element (ES-FEM) with a phantom-node method for 2D linear elastic fracture mechanics. In the standard phantom-node method, the cracks are formulated by adding phantom nodes, and the cracked element is replaced by two new superimposed elements. This approach is quite simple to implement into existing explicit finite element programs. The shape functions associated with discontinuous elements are similar to those of the standard finite elements, which leads to certain simplification with implementing in the existing codes. The phantom-node method allows modeling discontinuities at an arbitrary location in the mesh. The ES-FEM model owns a close-to-exact stiffness that is much softer than lower-order finite element methods (FEM). Taking advantage of both the ES-FEM and the phantom-node method, we introduce an edge-based strain smoothing technique for the phantom-node method. Numerical results show that the proposed method achieves high accuracy compared with the extended finite element method (XFEM) and other reference solutions.}, subject = {Finite-Elemente-Methode}, language = {en} } @article{ValizadehNatarajanGonzalezEstradaetal., author = {Valizadeh, Navid and Natarajan, S. and Gonzalez-Estrada, O.A. and Rabczuk, Timon and Tinh Quoc, Bui and Bordas, St{\´e}phane Pierre Alain}, title = {NURBS-based finite element analysis of functionally graded plates: static bending, vibration, buckling and flutter}, series = {Composite Structures}, journal = {Composite Structures}, pages = {309 -- 326}, abstract = {NURBS-based finite element analysis of functionally graded plates: static bending, vibration, buckling and flutter}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{TalebiSilaniBordasetal., author = {Talebi, Hossein and Silani, Mohammad and Bordas, St{\´e}phane Pierre Alain and Kerfriden, Pierre and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Molecular Dynamics/XFEM Coupling by a Three-Dimensional Extended Bridging Domain with Applications to Dynamic Brittle Fracture}, series = {International Journal for Multiscale Computational Engineering}, journal = {International Journal for Multiscale Computational Engineering}, abstract = {Molecular Dynamics/XFEM Coupling by a Three-Dimensional Extended Bridging Domain with Applications to Dynamic Brittle Fracture}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} }
