The approximate model is addressed to include the operational and surrounding condition in the assessment. The procedure is split into two stages, the training and detecting phase. During training phase, a so-called response surface is built from training data using polynomial regression and radial basis function approximation approaches. The response surface is used to detect the damage in structure during detection phase. The results show that the response surface model is able to detect moderate damage in one of bridge supports while the temperatures and train velocities are varied.}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Alkam, author = {Alkam, Feras}, title = {Vibration-based Monitoring of Concrete Catenary Poles using Bayesian Inference}, volume = {2021}, publisher = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}tsverlag}, address = {Weimar}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4433}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20210526-44338}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {177}, abstract = {This work presents a robust status monitoring approach for detecting damage in cantilever structures based on logistic functions. Also, a stochastic damage identification approach based on changes of eigenfrequencies is proposed. The proposed algorithms are verified using catenary poles of electrified railways track. The proposed damage features overcome the limitation of frequency-based damage identification methods available in the literature, which are valid to detect damage in structures to Level 1 only. Changes in eigenfrequencies of cantilever structures are enough to identify possible local damage at Level 3, i.e., to cover damage detection, localization, and quantification. The proposed algorithms identified the damage with relatively small errors, even at a high noise level.}, subject = {Parameteridentifikation}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Brehm2011, author = {Brehm, Maik}, title = {Vibration-based model updating: Reduction and quantification of uncertainties}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.1465}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20110926-15553}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Numerical models and their combination with advanced solution strategies are standard tools for many engineering disciplines to design or redesign structures and to optimize designs with the purpose to improve specific requirements. As the successful application of numerical models depends on their suitability to represent the behavior related to the intended use, they should be validated by experimentally obtained results. If the discrepancy between numerically derived and experimentally obtained results is not acceptable, a model revision or a revision of the experiment need to be considered. Model revision is divided into two classes, the model updating and the basic revision of the numerical model. The presented thesis is related to a special branch of model updating, the vibration-based model updating. Vibration-based model updating is a tool to improve the correlation of the numerical model by adjusting uncertain model input parameters by means of results extracted from vibration tests. Evidently, uncertainties related to the experiment, the numerical model, or the applied numerical solving strategies can influence the correctness of the identified model input parameters. The reduction of uncertainties for two critical problems and the quantification of uncertainties related to the investigation of several nominally identical structures are the main emphases of this thesis. First, the reduction of uncertainties by optimizing reference sensor positions is considered. The presented approach relies on predicted power spectral amplitudes and an initial finite element model as a basis to define the assessment criterion for predefined sensor positions. In combination with geometry-based design variables, which represent the sensor positions, genetic and particle swarm optimization algorithms are applied. The applicability of the proposed approach is demonstrated on a numerical benchmark study of a simply supported beam and a case study of a real test specimen. Furthermore, the theory of determining the predicted power spectral amplitudes is validated with results from vibration tests. Second, the possibility to reduce uncertainties related to an inappropriate assignment for numerically derived and experimentally obtained modes is investigated. In the context of vibration-based model updating, the correct pairing is essential. The most common criterion for indicating corresponding mode shapes is the modal assurance criterion. Unfortunately, this criterion fails in certain cases and is not reliable for automatic approaches. Hence, an alternative criterion, the energy-based modal assurance criterion, is proposed. This criterion combines the mathematical characteristic of orthogonality with the physical properties of the structure by modal strain energies. A numerical example and a case study with experimental data are presented to show the advantages of the proposed energy-based modal assurance criterion in comparison to the traditional modal assurance criterion. Third, the application of optimization strategies combined with information theory based objective functions is analyzed for the purpose of stochastic model updating. This approach serves as an alternative to the common sensitivity-based stochastic model updating strategies. Their success depends strongly on the defined initial model input parameters. In contrast, approaches based on optimization strategies can be more flexible. It can be demonstrated, that the investigated nature inspired optimization strategies in combination with Bhattacharyya distance and Kullback-Leibler divergence are appropriate. The obtained accuracies and the respective computational effort are comparable with sensitivity-based stochastic model updating strategies. The application of model updating procedures to improve the quality and suitability of a numerical model is always related to additional costs. The presented innovative approaches will contribute to reduce and quantify uncertainties within a vibration-based model updating process. Therefore, the increased benefit can compensate the additional effort, which is necessary to apply model updating procedures.}, subject = {Dynamik}, language = {en} } @article{DoeringHoffmeyerSeegeretal., author = {D{\"o}ring, R. and Hoffmeyer, J. and Seeger, T. and Vormwald, Michael}, title = {Verformungsverhalten und rechnerische Absch{\"a}tzung der Erm{\"u}dungslebensdauer metallischer Werkstoffe unter mehrachsig nichtproportionaler Beanspruchung}, series = {Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik}, journal = {Materialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik}, pages = {280 -- 288}, abstract = {Verformungsverhalten und rechnerische Absch{\"a}tzung der Erm{\"u}dungslebensdauer metallischer Werkstoffe unter mehrachsig nichtproportionaler Beanspruchung}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {de} } @article{LahmerIlgLerch, author = {Lahmer, Tom and Ilg, J. and Lerch, Reinhard}, title = {Variance-based sensitivity analyses of piezoelectric models}, series = {Computer Modeling in Engineering \& Sciences}, journal = {Computer Modeling in Engineering \& Sciences}, pages = {105 -- 126}, abstract = {Variance-based sensitivity analyses of piezoelectric models}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{FaizollahzadehArdabiliNajafiAlizamiretal., author = {Faizollahzadeh Ardabili, Sina and Najafi, Bahman and Alizamir, Meysam and Mosavi, Amir and Shamshirband, Shahaboddin and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Using SVM-RSM and ELM-RSM Approaches for Optimizing the Production Process of Methyl and Ethyl Esters}, series = {Energies}, journal = {Energies}, number = {11, 2889}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, doi = {10.3390/en11112889}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20181025-38170}, pages = {1 -- 20}, abstract = {The production of a desired product needs an effective use of the experimental model. The present study proposes an extreme learning machine (ELM) and a support vector machine (SVM) integrated with the response surface methodology (RSM) to solve the complexity in optimization and prediction of the ethyl ester and methyl ester production process. The novel hybrid models of ELM-RSM and ELM-SVM are further used as a case study to estimate the yield of methyl and ethyl esters through a trans-esterification process from waste cooking oil (WCO) based on American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. The results of the prediction phase were also compared with artificial neural networks (ANNs) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), which were recently developed by the second author of this study. Based on the results, an ELM with a correlation coefficient of 0.9815 and 0.9863 for methyl and ethyl esters, respectively, had a high estimation capability compared with that for SVM, ANNs, and ANFIS. Accordingly, the maximum production yield was obtained in the case of using ELM-RSM of 96.86\% for ethyl ester at a temperature of 68.48 °C, a catalyst value of 1.15 wt. \%, mixing intensity of 650.07 rpm, and an alcohol to oil molar ratio (A/O) of 5.77; for methyl ester, the production yield was 98.46\% at a temperature of 67.62 °C, a catalyst value of 1.1 wt. \%, mixing intensity of 709.42 rpm, and an A/O of 6.09. Therefore, ELM-RSM increased the production yield by 3.6\% for ethyl ester and 3.1\% for methyl ester, compared with those for the experimental data.}, subject = {Biodiesel}, language = {en} } @misc{Nikulla2008, author = {Nikulla, Susanne}, title = {Untersuchung des dynamischen Verhaltens von Eisenbahnbr{\"u}cken bei wechselnden Umweltbedingungen}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.1356}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20081020-14324}, year = {2008}, abstract = {Im Zuge des Ausbaus von Eisenbahnstrecken f{\"u}r den Hochgeschwindigkeitsverkehr muss sichergestellt werden, dass keine Resonanz zwischen den periodisch einwirkenden Radlasten und den Br{\"u}ckeneigenfrequenzen entsteht.
