It critically discusses the contradictions of the production of residences in Brazil made by an emerging so-cial group, lately called the Brazilian new middle class. For the last ten years, a number of government policies have provoked a general improvement of the purchasing power of the poor. Between those who completely depend on the government to survive and the upper middle class, there is a wide (about 100 million people) and economically stable lower middle group, which has found its own ways of dealing with its demand for housing. The conventional models of planning, building and buying are not suitable for their technical, financial and personal needs. Therefore, they are con-currently planners, constructors and residents, building and renovating their own properties themselves, but still with very limited education and technical knowledge and restricted access to good building materials and constructive ele-ments, formal technicians, architects or engineers. On the one hand, the result is an informal and more or less autono-mous self-production, with all sorts of technical problems and very interesting and creative spatial solutions to every-day domestic situations. On the other hand, the repercussions for urban space are questionable: although basic infrastructure conditions have improved, building densities are high and green areas are few. Lower middle class neigh-bourhoods present a restricted collective everyday life. They look like storage spaces for manpower; people who live to work in order to be able to consume—and build—what they could not before. One question is, to what extent the lat-est economic rise of Brazil has really resulted in social development for lower middle income families in the private sphere regarding their residences, and in the collective sphere, regarding the neighbourhoods they inhabit and the ur-ban space in general.}, subject = {Brasilien}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Nguyen, author = {Nguyen, Manh Hung}, title = {µ-Hyperholomorphic Function Theory in R³: Geometric Mapping Properties and Applications}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2447}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20150817-24477}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {155}, abstract = {This thesis applies the theory of \psi-hyperholomorphic functions dened in R^3 with values in the set of paravectors, which is identified with the Eucledian space R^3, to tackle some problems in theory and practice: geometric mapping properties, additive decompositions of harmonic functions and applications in the theory of linear elasticity.}, subject = {Mathematik}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Schuetz, author = {Sch{\"u}tz, Stephan}, title = {Von der Faser zum Haus : Das Potential von gefalteten Wabenplatten aus Papierwerkstoffen in ihrer architektonischen Anwendung}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3804}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20181010-38044}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {223}, abstract = {Der vorliegende Text beschreibt die intensive Erforschung von Wabenplatten aus Papierwerkstoffen, die durch Faltprozesse neue r{\"a}umliche Zust{\"a}nde einnehmen k{\"o}nnen und somit ihr urspr{\"u}ngliches Anwendungsspektrum erweitern.

Der Fokus der Arbeit liegt auf der Untersuchung von Faltungen in Wabenplatten. W{\"a}hrend der Auseinandersetzung mit der Thematik erschienen jedoch viele weitere Aspekte als sehr interessant und bearbeitungsw{\"u}rdig. Als theoretische Grundlage dieser Arbeit werden deshalb die geschichtliche Entwicklung und die gesellschaftliche Bedeutung von Papier und Papierwerkstoffen analysiert und deren Produktionsprozesse beleuchtet. Diese Vorgehensweise erm{\"o}glicht eine Einordnung des Potentials und der Bedeutung des Werkstoffs Papier. Der Kontext der Arbeit wird dadurch gest{\"a}rkt und f{\"u}hrt zu interessanten zuk{\"u}nftigen Forschungsans{\"a}tzen. Intensive Untersuchungen widmen sich der geometrischen Bestimmung von Faltungen in Wabenplatten aus Papierwerkstoffen sowie deren Manifestation als konstruktive Bauteile. Auch die statischen Eigenschaften der Elemente und ihr Konstruktionspotential werden erforscht und aufbereitet. Wichtige Impulse aus Forschung und Technik fließen in die Recherche der Arbeit ein und erlauben die Verortung der Ergebnisse im architektonischen Kontext.

The formulation of the problem includes: a condition of equilibrium flow of a deformation process in the reference configuration; an equation of a coupled heat conductivity in a variational form, in which an influence of deformation characteristics of a process on the temperature field is taken into account; tensor-linear constitutive relations for a hypoelastic material; kinematic and evolutional relations; initial and boundary conditions. Based on this formulation several axisymmetric isothermal and coupled problems of finite deformations of isotropic and anisotropic bodies are solved. The solution of coupled thermomechanical problems for a hollow cylinder in case of finite deformation showed an essential influence of coupling on distribution of temperature, stresses and strains. The obtained solutions show the development of stressstrain state and temperature changing in axisymmetric bodies in the case of finite deformations.}, subject = {Angewandte Informatik}, language = {en} } @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} } @inproceedings{MacedoBentaPicadoSantos, author = {Macedo, Joaquim Miguel and Benta, Agostinho and Picado-Santos, Luis}, title = {USE OF MICROSIMULATION IN THE ADAPTATION TO PORTUGAL OF THE HCM 2000 METHODOLOGY FOR BASIC FREEWAY SEGMENTS}, series = {Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar}, booktitle = {Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar}, editor = {G{\"u}rlebeck, Klaus and Lahmer, Tom}, organization = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, issn = {1611-4086}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2812}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28122}, pages = {7}, abstract = {Portugal is one of the European countries with higher spatial and population freeway network coverage. The sharp growth of this network in the last years instigates the use of methods of analysis and the evaluation of their quality of service in terms of the traffic performance, typically performed through internationally accepted methodologies, namely that presented in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Lately, the use of microscopic traffic simulation models has been increasingly widespread. These models simulate the individual movement of the vehicles, allowing to perform traffic analysis. The main target of this study was to verify the possibility of using microsimulation as an auxiliary tool in the adaptation of the methodology by HCM 2000 to Portugal. For this purpose, were used the microscopic simulators AIMSUN and VISSIM for the simulation of the traffic circulation in the A5 Portuguese freeway. The results allowed the analysis of the influence of the main geometric and traffic factors involved in the methodology by HCM 2000. In conclusion, the study presents the main advantages and limitations of the microsimulators AIMSUN and VISSIM in modelling the traffic circulation in Portuguese freeways. The main limitation is that these microsimulators are not able to simulate explicitly some of the factors considered in the HCM 2000 methodology, which invalidates their direct use as a tool in the quantification of those effects and, consequently, makes the direct adaptation of this methodology to Portugal impracticable.}, subject = {Angewandte Informatik}, language = {en} } @article{Koenig, author = {K{\"o}nig, Reinhard}, title = {Urban Design Synthesis for Building Layouts : Urban Design Synthesis for Building Layouts based on Evolutionary Many-Criteria Optimization}, series = {International Journal of Architectural Computing}, journal = {International Journal of Architectural Computing}, doi = {10.1260/1478-0771.13.3-4.257}, pages = {257 -- 270}, abstract = {When working on urban planning projects there are usually multiple aspects to consider. Often these aspects are contradictory and it is not possible to choose one over the other; instead, they each need to be fulfilled as well as possible. In this situation ideal solutions are not always found because they are either not sought or the problems are regarded as being too complex for human capabilities.To improve this situation we propose complementing traditional design approaches with a design synthesis process based on evolutionary many-criteria optimization methods that can fulfill formalizable design requirements. In addition we show how self-organizing maps can be used to visualize many-dimensional solution spaces in an easily analyzable and comprehensible form.The system is presented using an urban planning scenario for the placement of building volumes.}, subject = {Design synthesis}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OPUS4-2374, title = {Urban Design for Mussolini, Stalin, Salazar, Hitler and Franco During the Interwar Period}, editor = {Bauhaus-Institut f{\"u}r Geschichte und Theorie der Architektur und Planung,}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2374}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20150323-23746}, abstract = {Urban design played a central role for the European dictatorships during the 20th century, it served to legitimate the regime, to produce agreement, to demonstrate power, efficiency and speed, it communicated the social, as well as design projects, of the dictatorial regimes domestically and internationally, it tied old experts, as well as new, to the regime. Dictatorial urban design also played an important role after the fall of the dictatorships: It became the object of structural and verbal handling strategies: of demolition, of transformation, of reconstruction, of forgetting, of suppressing, of re-interpretation and of glorification. The topic area is, therefore, both historical and relevant to the present day. The discussion of the topic area is, like it or not, always embedded in the present state of societal engagement with dictatorships. In order to even be able to discuss all of these aspects, different conceptual decisions are necessary. In retrospect, these may seem to many as self-evident, although they are anything but. Our thesis is that there are three methodological imperatives, especially, which allow an expanded approach to the topic area "urban design and dictatorship". First and above all, the tunnel view, focused on individual dictatorships and neglecting the international dimension, must be overcome. Second, the differences in urban design over the course of a dictatorship, through an appropriate periodisation, should be emphasised. Third, we must strive for an open, flexible, but complex concept of urban design. The main focus lies on the urban design of the most influential dictatorships of the first half of the 20th century: Soviet Union, Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, including the urban design of the autarky periods in Portugal and Spain. After all, urban design is not just a product of specific historic circumstances. It is a form that continues to have long-term effects, which demonstrates its usefulness and adaptability throughout this process. The urban design products undoubtedly still recall the dictatorial rule under which they were created. However, they are more than a memory space. They are also a living space of the present. They can and should be discussed with respect to their spatial and functional utility for today and tomorrow. Such a perspective is a given for the citizens of a city, but also for city marketing, having marvellous consequences. Only when we do not exclude this dimension a priori, even in academic discussions, can we do justice to the products of dictatorships. And finally, the view of the urban design of dictatorships can and must contribute to the questioning of simplified and naive conceptions of dictatorships. With urban design in mind, we can observe how dictatorships work and how they were able to prevail. In Europe, these questions are of the highest actuality.}, subject = {Urbanit{\"a}t}, language = {en} } @article{VuBacRafieeZhuangetal., author = {Vu-Bac, N. and Rafiee, Roham and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Lahmer, Tom and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Uncertainty quantification for multiscale modeling of polymer nanocomposites with correlated parameters}, series = {Composites Part B: Engineering}, journal = {Composites Part B: Engineering}, pages = {446 -- 464}, abstract = {Uncertainty quantification for multiscale modeling of polymer nanocomposites with correlated parameters}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} }
