Prior to in situ application, the impact of the relationship between the broadband electromagnetic properties of the porous material (clay-rock) and the water content on the frequency or time domain sensor response is required. For this purpose, dielectric properties of intact clay rock samples experimental determined in the frequency range from 1 MHz to 10 GHz were used as input data in 3-D numerical frequency domain finite element field calculations to model the one port broadband frequency or time domain transfer function for a three rods based sensor embedded in the clay-rock. The sensor response in terms of the reflection factor was analyzed in time domain with classical travel time analysis in combination with an empirical model according to Topp equation, as well as the theoretical Lichtenecker and Rother model (LRM) to estimate the volumetric water content. The mixture equation considering the appropriate porosity of the investigated material provide a practical and efficient approach for water content estimation based on classical travel time analysis with the onset-method. The inflection method is not recommended for water content estimation in electrical dispersive and absorptive material. Moreover, the results clearly indicate that effects due to coupling of the sensor to the material cannot be neglected. Coupling problems caused by an air gap lead to dramatic effects on water content estimation, even for submillimeter gaps. Thus, the quantitative determination of the in situ water content requires careful sensor installation in order to reach a perfect probe clay rock coupling.}, subject = {Wassergehalt}, language = {en} } @article{BourikasJamesBahajetal., author = {Bourikas, Leonidas and James, Patrick A.

However, the locations where these historical datasets were collected (usually airports) generally do not represent the local, site specific micro-climates that cities develop. In this paper, a humid sub-tropical climate context has been considered. An idealised "urban unit model" of 250 m radius is being presented as a method of adapting commonly available weather data files to the local micro-climate. This idealised "urban unit model" is based on the main thermal and morphological characteristics of nine sites with residential/institutional (university) use in Hangzhou, China. The area of the urban unit was determined by the region of influence on the air temperature signal at the centre of the unit. Air temperature and relative humidity were monitored and the characteristics of the surroundings assessed (eg green-space, blue-space, built form). The "urban unit model" was then implemented into micro-climatic simulations using a Computational Fluid Dynamics - Surface Energy Balance analysis tool (ENVI-met, Version 4). The "urban unit model" approach used here in the simulations delivered results with performance evaluation indices comparable to previously published work (for air temperature; RMSE <1, index of agreement d > 0.9). The micro-climatic simulation results were then used to adapt the air temperature and relative humidity of the TMY file for Hangzhou to represent the local, site specific morphology under three different weather forcing cases, (ie cloudy/rainy weather (Group 1), clear sky, average weather conditions (Group 2) and clear sky, hot weather (Group 3)). Following model validation, two scenarios (domestic and non-domestic building use) were developed to assess building heating and cooling loads against the business as usual case of using typical meteorological year data files. The final "urban weather projections" obtained from the simulations with the "urban unit model" were used to compare the degree days amongst the reference TMY file, the TMY file with a bulk UHI offset and the TMY file adapted for the site-specific micro-climate (TMY-UWP). The comparison shows that Heating Degree Days (HDD) of the TMY file (1598 days) decreased by 6 \% in the "TMY + UHI" case and 13 \% in the "TMY-UWP" case showing that the local specific micro-climate is attributed with an additional 7 \% (ie from 6 to 13 \%) reduction in relation to the bulk UHI effect in the city. The Cooling Degree Days (CDD) from the "TMY + UHI" file are 17 \% more than the reference TMY (207 days) and the use of the "TMY-UWP" file results to an additional 14 \% increase in comparison with the "TMY + UHI" file (ie from 17 to 31 \%). This difference between the TMY-UWP and the TMY + UHI files is a reflection of the thermal characteristics of the specific urban morphology of the studied sites compared to the wider city. A dynamic thermal simulation tool (TRNSYS) was used to calculate the heating and cooling load demand change in a domestic and a non-domestic building scenario. The heating and cooling loads calculated with the adapted TMY-UWP file show that in both scenarios there is an increase by approximately 20 \% of the cooling load and a 20 \% decrease of the heating load. If typical COP values for a reversible air-conditioning system are 2.0 for heating and 3.5 for cooling then the total electricity consumption estimated with the use of the "urbanised" TMY-UWP file will be decreased by 11 \% in comparison with the "business as usual" (ie reference TMY) case. Overall, it was found that the proposed method is appropriate for urban and building energy performance simulations in humid sub-tropical climate cities such as Hangzhou, addressing some of the shortfalls of current simulation weather data sets such as the TMY.}, subject = {Mikroklima}, language = {en} } @article{BremerWollweberWeigandetal., author = {Bremer, K. and Wollweber, M. and Weigand, F. and Rahlves, M. and Kuhne, Michael and Helbig, R. and Roth, B.}, title = {Fibre Optic Sensors for the Structural Health Monitoring of Building Structures}, series = {Procedia Technology 26}, journal = {Procedia Technology 26}, doi = {10.1016/j.protcy.2016.08.065}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170331-30912}, pages = {524 -- 529}, abstract = {In this work different fibre optic sensors for the structural health monitoring of civil engineering structures are reported.

Based on this approach we present a design space exploration framework for complex urban planning projects. For a better understanding of the idea of design space exploration, we introduce the concept of a digital scout which guides planners through the design space and assists them in their creative explorations. The scout can support planners during manual design by informing them about potential im- pacts or by suggesting different solutions that fulfill predefined quality requirements. The planner can change flexibly between a manually controlled and a completely automated design process. The developed system is presented using an exemplary urban planning scenario on two levels from the street layout to the placement of building volumes.

These lanes are also providing a storage space for the U-turning vehicles to avoid unnecessary blockage of through lanes and reduce the potential of rear-end collisions. The safety at the U-turn is greatly influenced by the proper or improper use of the deceleration lanes. Subject to their length, full or partial speed adjustment can occur within the deceleration lane also the road users' behavior is influenced. To assess the safety impact, the four groups of U-turns with the varying length of deceleration lanes were identified.

The U-turns' geometric data, traffic conflicts and volume data were recorded in the field at 8 locations, 8 hours per location. Severity Conflict Rate (SCR) was assessed by applying a weighing factor (based on the severity grades according to the Czech TCT) to the observed conflicts related to the conflicting traffic volumes.

While scaling effects prohibit a simple transfer of the results to industrial-scale plants, and although the certainty of the results is reduced by the heterogeneity of the bio-waste, further research in this direction seems promising.}, subject = {Festphasen-Fermentation}, language = {en} } @article{NanthakumarLahmerRabczuk, author = {Nanthakumar, S.S. and Lahmer, Tom and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Detection of multiple flaws in piezoelectric structures using XFEM and level sets}, series = {International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering}, journal = {International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering}, pages = {960}, abstract = {Detection of multiple flaws in piezoelectric structures using XFEM and level sets}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{NanthakumarLahmerZhuangetal., author = {Nanthakumar, S.S. and Lahmer, Tom and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Park, Harold S. and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Topology optimization of piezoelectric nanostructures}, series = {Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids}, journal = {Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids}, pages = {316 -- 335}, abstract = {Topology optimization of piezoelectric nanostructures}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{NanthakumarLahmerZhuangetal., author = {Nanthakumar, S.S. and Lahmer, Tom and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Zi, Goangseup and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Detection of material interfaces using a regularized level set method in piezoelectric structures}, series = {Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering}, journal = {Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering}, pages = {153 -- 176}, abstract = {Detection of material interfaces using a regularized level set method in piezoelectric structures}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{NguyenTuanLahmerDatchevaetal., author = {Nguyen-Tuan, Long and Lahmer, Tom and Datcheva, Maria and Schanz, Tom}, title = {Global and local sensitivity analyses for coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical problems}, series = {International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics}, journal = {International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics}, abstract = {Global and local sensitivity analyses for coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical problems}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{NguyenTuanLahmerDatchevaetal., author = {Nguyen-Tuan, Long and Lahmer, Tom and Datcheva, Maria and Stoimenova, Eugenia and Schanz, Tom}, title = {A novel parameter identification approach for buffer elements involving complex coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical analyses}, series = {Computers and Geotechnics}, journal = {Computers and Geotechnics}, pages = {23 -- 32}, abstract = {A novel parameter identification approach for buffer elements involving complex coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical analyses}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{RafieeRabczukMilanietal., author = {Rafiee, Roham and Rabczuk, Timon and Milani, Abbas S. and Tserpes, Konstantinos I.}, title = {Advances in Characterization and Modeling of Nanoreinforced Composites}, series = {JOURNAL OF NANOMATERIALS}, journal = {JOURNAL OF NANOMATERIALS}, doi = {10.1155/2016/9481053}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170411-31134}, abstract = {This special issue deals with a range of recently developed characterization and modeling techniques employed to better understand and predict the response of nanoreinforced composites at different scales.}, subject = {Physikalische Eigenschaft}, language = {en} } @article{Schuch, author = {Schuch, Kai}, title = {Theoretische Grundlagen zum Aggregationsprozess von Wassergl{\"a}sern im Hinblick auf silikatische Beschichtungen}, series = {Steuerung des Aggregationsprozesses in w{\"a}ssrigen Alkalisilikatsolen durch spezielle Gelinitiatoren und moderate W{\"a}rmebehandlung zum Aufbau einer stabilen Silikatbeschichtung}, journal = {Steuerung des Aggregationsprozesses in w{\"a}ssrigen Alkalisilikatsolen durch spezielle Gelinitiatoren und moderate W{\"a}rmebehandlung zum Aufbau einer stabilen Silikatbeschichtung}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2497}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20160113-24971}, abstract = {Der Artikel beinhaltet den theoretischen Teil und die Ergebnisse der Dissertation von Kai Schuch, Bauhaus Universit{\"a}t Weimar, Nov. 2014}, subject = {Wasserglas}, language = {de} } @article{ShiraziMohebbiAzadiKakavandetal., author = {Shirazi, A.

Nonetheless, Li-ion batteries suffer from temperature rises which sometimes lead to operational damages or may even cause fire. An appropriate solution to control the temperature changes during the operation of Li-ion batteries is to embed batteries inside a paraffin matrix to absorb and dissipate heat. In the present work, we aimed to investigate the possibility of making paraffin nanocomposites for better heat management of a Li-ion battery pack. To fulfill this aim, heat generation during a battery charging/discharging cycles was simulated using Newman's well established electrochemical pseudo-2D model. We couple this model to a 3D heat transfer model to predict the temperature evolution during the battery operation. In the later model, we considered different paraffin nanocomposites structures made by the addition of graphene, carbon nanotubes, and fullerene by assuming the same thermal conductivity for all fillers. This way, our results mainly correlate with the geometry of the fillers. Our results assess the degree of enhancement in heat dissipation of Li-ion batteries through the use of paraffin nanocomposites. Our results may be used as a guide for experimental set-ups to improve the heat management of Li-ion batteries.}, subject = {Batterie}, language = {en} } @article{SmarslyHartmannRueppeletal., author = {Smarsly, Kay and Hartmann, Timo and R{\"u}ppel, Uwe and K{\"o}nig, Markus}, title = {Positionspapier des Arbeitskreis Bauinformatik}, editor = {Smarsly, Kay}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3221}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170523-32219}, pages = {5}, abstract = {Die Bauinformatik ist eine S{\"a}ule der modernen Bau- und Umweltingenieurwissenschaften und befasst sich mit der Erforschung grundlegender informatorischer Methoden sowie mit der Anwendung und Weiterentwicklung der Informationswissenschaften im Bau- und Umweltbereich.

Recent behavioral and neuroimaging studies reported that self-face identification not only relies upon visual-mnemonic representation of ones own face but also upon continuous updating and integration of visuo-tactile signals. Therefore, bodily self-consciousness plays a major role in self-face identification, with respect to interplay between unisensory and multisensory processing. However, if previous studies demonstrated that the integration of multisensory body-related signals contributes to the visual processing of ones own face, there is so far no data regarding how self-face identification, inversely, contributes to bodily self-consciousness. In the present study, we tested whether selfother face identification impacts either the egocentered or heterocentered visuo-spatial mechanisms that are core processes of bodily self-consciousness and sustain selfother distinction. For that, we developed a new paradigm, named Double Mirror. This paradigm, consisting of a semi-transparent double mirror and computer-controlled Light Emitting Diodes, elicits selfother face merging illusory effect in ecologically more valid conditions, i.e., when participants are physically facing each other and interacting. Self-face identification was manipulated by exposing pairs of participants to an Interpersonal Visual Stimulation in which the reflection of their faces merged in the mirror. Participants simultaneously performed visuo-spatial and mental own-body transformation tasks centered on their own face (egocentered) or the face of their partner (heterocentered) in the pre- and post-stimulation phase. We show that selfother face identification altered the egocentered visuo-spatial mechanisms. Heterocentered coding was preserved. Our data suggest that changes in self-face identification induced a bottom-up conflict between the current visual representation and the stored mnemonic representation of ones own face which, in turn, top-down impacted bodily self-consciousness.}, subject = {Gesicht}, language = {en} } @article{TreyerKleinKoenigetal., author = {Treyer, Lukas and Klein, Bernhard and K{\"o}nig, Reinhard and Meixner, Christine}, title = {Lightweight Urban Computation Interchange (LUCI): A System to Couple Heterogenous Simulations and Views}, series = {Spatial Information Research}, journal = {Spatial Information Research}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2603}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20160622-26037}, pages = {1 -- 12}, abstract = {In this paper we introduce LUCI, a Lightweight Urban Calculation Interchange system, designed to bring the advantages of calculation and content co-ordination system to small planning and design groups by the means of an open source middle-ware.

Analysis of the essential qualities of urban space could be made both more effective and more accurate using innovative information techniques that have become available in the era of big data. This study introduces an integrated method based on geographical information systems (GIS) and an emotion-tracking technique to quantify the relationship between people's emotional responses and urban space. This method can evaluate the degree to which people's emotional responses are influenced by multiple urban characteristics such as building shapes and textures, isovist parameters, visual entropy, and visual fractals. The results indicate that urban spaces may influence people's emotional responses through both spatial sequence arrangements and shifting scenario sequences. Emotional data were collected with body sensors and GPS devices. Spatial clustering was detected to target effective sampling locations; then, isovists were generated to extract building textures. Logistic regression and a receiver operating characteristic analysis were used to determine the key isovist parameters and the probabilities that they influenced people's emotion. Finally, based on the results, we make some suggestions for design professionals in the field of urban space optimization.}, subject = {Stadt}, language = {en} } @article{ZhangWangLahmeretal., author = {Zhang, Chao and Wang, Cuixia and Lahmer, Tom and He, Pengfei and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {A dynamic XFEM formulation for crack identification}, series = {International Journal of Mechanics and Materials in Design}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanics and Materials in Design}, pages = {427 -- 448}, abstract = {A dynamic XFEM formulation for crack identification}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} }
