This deformation can result in a change of the gap width between the welded parts, which leads to an unstable welding process. Inducing displacements by using a second heat source will compensate for the change in gap width, hence optimizing the welding process. The base material is 1 mm thick austenitic stainless steel 1.4301, which is welded by a CO2 laser. The second heat source is a diode laser. The gap between the welded parts was set between 0.05 mm and 0.1 mm. The influence of the second heat source on the welding process and the welding result is described. The usage of a second heat source allows a higher gap width to be set prior to the welding process.

MgSO4·H2O and Na2SO4 were chosen in this study because they are both promising candidates for such an application. Considering that the hydration of these salts yields MgSO4·7H2O and Na2SO4·10H2O as the reaction products, the maximum overall heat effect can be calculated from the heat of condensation of water vapor (44 kJ mol-1) and the heats of hydration of 75 kJ·mol-1 (for MgSO4·H2O) and 81 kJ mol-1 (for Na2SO4). Based on the densities of the two hydrated phases, this results in the very high theoretical energy densities of 2.3 GJ·m-3 and 2.4 GJ·m-3, respectively, for MgSO4·7H2O and Na2SO4·10H2O. Not only the energy density is important for the dimensioning of a storage system, but also the kinetics of hydration reactions play a major role for the application as storage material. In the present study, hydration reactions under varying climatic conditions were investigated by using water vapor sorption measurements and in-situ Raman microscopy. Using the phase diagrams, it can be clearly shown that the mechanism and the kinetics depend on the climatic conditions. Below the deliquescence humidity of the lower hydrated phase the hydration proceeds as solid state reaction, whilst above the deliquescence humidity a through solution mechanism takes place.}, subject = {W{\"a}rmespeicherung}, language = {en} } @article{AtaollahiOshkourTalebiSeyedShirazietal., author = {Ataollahi Oshkour, Azim and Talebi, Hossein and Seyed Shirazi, Seyed Farid and Bayat, Mehdi and Yau, Yat Huang and Tarlochan, Faris and Abu Osman, Noor Azuan}, title = {Comparison of various functionally graded femoral prostheses by finite element analysis}, series = {Scientific World Journal}, journal = {Scientific World Journal}, doi = {10.1155/2014/807621}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170413-31194}, abstract = {This study is focused on finite element analysis of a model comprising femur into which a femoral component of a total hip replacement was implanted.

Meanwhile, less shear interface stress was stimulated to the prosthesis-bone interface in the noncemented FG prostheses. The cement-bone interface carried more stress compared to the prosthesis-cement interface. Stair climbing induced more harmful effects to the implanted femur components compared to the normal walking by causing more stress.

Factors that affect ASR vary greatly, including alkali and silica content, relative humidity, temperature and porosity of the cementitious matrix,all these making it a very complex phenomenon to consider explicitly. With this in mind, the finite element technique was used to build models and generate expansive pressures and damage propagation due to ASR under the influence of thermo-hygrochemoelastic loading. Since ASR initializes in the mesoscopic regions of the concrete, the accumulative effects of its expansion escalates onto the macroscale level with the development of web cracking on the concrete surface, hence solution of the damage model as well as simulation of the ASR phenomenon at both the macroscale and mesoscale levels have been performed. The macroscale model realizes the effects of ASR expansion as a whole and shows how it develops under the influence of moisture, thermal and mechanical loading. Results of the macroscale modeling are smeared throughout the structure and are sufficient to show how damage due to ASR expansion orientates. As opposed to the mesoscale model, the heterogeneity of the model shows us how difference in material properties between aggregates and the cementitious matrix facilitates ASR expansion. With both these models, the ASR phenomenon under influence of thermo-chemo-hygro-mechanical loading can be better understood.}, subject = {Strukturmechanik}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Torrado, author = {Torrado, Valentina}, title = {Die Pr{\"a}senz des Abjekten in der zeitgen{\"o}ssischen Kunstproduktion}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2129}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20140225-21297}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {115}, abstract = {Die Arbeit fokussiert die Rolle des Abjekten in der zeitgen{\"o}ssischen Kunst und hier insbesondere die Rolle der K{\"u}nstler aus den wohlhabenden - sogenannten postindustriellen - L{\"a}ndern.

Furthermore, a large number of existing sanitation facilities in developing countries is out of order. This leads to the conclusion that, besides technical failures, the planning process in the sanitation sector was ineffective. This ineffectiveness may be attributed to the lack of knowledge of the sanitation planners about the local conditions of the sanitation project. In addition, sustainability of a technology is often approached from a fragmented perspective that often leads to an unsustainable solution. The dissertation is conducted within the framework of the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) Indonesia project. The goal of this work is to contribute to the development of a methodology of a planning tool for sustainable sanitation technology. The tool is designed for sanitation planners in developing countries, where a top-down planning approach is common practice. The proposed tool enables comprehensive sustainability assessments (using the Helmholtz Concept of Sustainability as reference), taking into account local conditions. State of the Science In the planning practice, many sanitation planning tools focus on technology selection. However, it has become evident that the selection criteria for sustainable technologies are not always considered in the tools' framework. In other cases, when the criteria are provided by the tool, there is no clear indication of the conditions to be fulfilled in order to meet these criteria. Specifically, there is no reference to what is meant by sustainable technology in a particular context and how to comprehensively assess the sustainability of different technology options. Research Methodology Developing a planning tool is an empirical process, combining theory and practical experience. Hence, the development process of such a tool requires extensive observations, particularly on the interaction between stakeholders in the sanitation sector as well as between technology and its environment. For this purpose, a case study within the project area was carried out. Pucanganom, a village representing common strategic problems in developing countries (e.g. top-down planning approaches, lack of involvement of beneficiaries in the planning process, lack of sustainability assessments) was finally selected as the case study area. After the in-depth case study, an analytical generalisation was developed to enable the tool's application to a broader context. Results The result of this research is a new tool - the Sustainability-based Sanitation Planning Tool (SusTA). SusTA enables comprehensive sustainability assessment in its five generic steps, namely: (1) analysis of stakeholders and sanitation policy in the region, (2) distance-to-target analysis on sanitation conditions in the region, (3) examination of physical and socio-economic conditions in the project area, (4) contextualisation of the technology assessment process in the project area, and (5) sustainability-oriented technology assessment at the project level. These steps are conducted at two levels of planning - the region and the project area - in order to identify the specific problems and interests which influence the selection of a sanitation system. Each planning step is equipped with tool elements (e.g. set of indicators, household questionnaires, technology assessment matrices) to support the analysis. From the development of SusTA, it can be concluded that four elements are required for an effective and widely applicable sanitation planning tool: sustainability concept, participatory approach, contextualisation framework and modification framework. SusTA provides both a theoretical and a practical basis for assessing the sustainability of sanitation technologies in developing countries. The tool's main advantages for decision makers in these countries are: It is simple and transparent in its steps, does not require vast amounts of data and does not need a sophisticated computer program.}, subject = {sanitation planning, sustainable technology, sustainability assessment}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-2182, title = {Simulationsforum 2013 - Schweißen und W{\"a}rmebehandlung}, editor = {Hildebrand, J{\"o}rg and Loose, Tobias and Sakkiettibutra, Jens and Brand, Marcus}, publisher = {F{\"o}rderverein W{\"a}rmebehandlung und Schweißen e.V.}, address = {Weimar}, isbn = {978-3-00-045902-3}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2182}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20140512-21820}, pages = {234}, abstract = {Das Buch ver{\"o}ffentlicht 22 Fachbeitr{\"a}ge der Konferenz "Simulationsforum 2013 - Schweißen und W{\"a}rmebehandlung".}, subject = {Schweißen}, language = {de} } @article{AdamatzkySchubert, author = {Adamatzky, Andrew and Schubert, Theresa}, title = {Slime mold microfluidic logical gates}, series = {Materials Today}, journal = {Materials Today}, doi = {10.1016/j.mattod.2014.01.018}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170413-31168}, pages = {86 -- 91}, abstract = {We demonstrate how logical operations can be implemented in ensembles of protoplasmic tubes of acellular slime mold Physarum polycephalum.

Abandonment that followed the deindustrialization contributed to an estrangement, turning derelict industrial spaces and run-down factories into a ballast to conjure with. At present, industrial heritage management applies flexibility and creativity, partially overcoming the essentially traditional paradigm of heritage preservation. This approach permits sustainable conservation - utilization and integration of disused industrial constructs in the contemporary urban landscape. Being a part of the European cultural stock, industrial heritage is an exciting and unique setting from many perspectives. It is defined and consumed by many markets, ranging from the industrial heritage tourism to the market of special events and festivals. Reused industrial buildings and factories come into view as products of post-industrial societies, fitting to the Western post-industrial (consumer) culture, offering a field of activities that are at an interface between the industrial history and contemporary socio-cultural milieu. Alteration of values, growth of new roles and definitions of industrial heritage, generated by functional restructuring, is a subject which is often left behind the general discussion about sustainable conservation and adaptive reuse of industrial heritage. Yet, in the modified state, industrial heritage is very complex to understand and to define. By conducting a desk and a case study research of former industrial complexes - Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei and Mattatoio di Testaccio, this doctoral thesis aims to identify industrial heritage as a contemporary (post-industrial) concept.

Informal settlements i.e. settlements not built or developed according to the formal regulations have become a solution to many urban dwellers in developing countries. In Tanzania informal settlements accommodate people from low, middle and high income groups. The study explores the nature of potentials and challenges posed by the existence of mixed socio-economic groups in informal settlements, including an assessment of what can be done to optimise utilisation of potentials and mitigation of conflicts. Using a case study strategy, the study was conducted in Dar es Salaam city focusing on Makongo mixed informal settlement. The results show that mixed informal settlements are as a result of several factors including uncoordinated energies of people. The urban development forces that bring change in the development of the city are stronger than the public states capacity to coordinate and manage them. Informal settlements also offer user-friendly land tenure, flexibility in house construction and proximity to livelihoods. Other factors include the nature of socio-economic living patterns and extension of urban boundaries. Community members operate using social norms. Advantages of mixed informal settlements include availability of plots according to needs and affordability while a disadvantage is, people of different socio-economic groups perceive problems differently. For policies to be effective, their formulation should be derived from what is happening on the ground i.e. addressing informal settlements according to their heterogeneity.

Several experiments indicated that the lack of detailed planning causes about 30\% non-productive time and stacking of trades. However, detailed planning still has not been implemented in practice despite receiving a lot of interest from researchers. The reason is associated with the huge amount and complexity of input data.

In this study, the air temperature and flow velocity of this micro-climate were measured in a climate chamber at various room temperatures, using a thermal manikin simulating the heat release of the human being. Different techniques (Particle Streak Tracking, thermography, anemometry, and thermistors) were used for measurement and visualization. The manikin surface temperature was adjusted to the particular indoor climate based on simulations with a thermoregulation model (UCBerkeley Thermal Comfort Model). We found that generally, the micro-climate is thinner at the lower part of the torso, but expands going up. At the head, there is a relatively thick thermal layer, which results in an ascending plume above the head. However, the micro-climate shape strongly depends not only on the body segment, but also on boundary conditions: the higher the temperature difference between the surface temperature of the manikin and the air temperature, the faster the air flow in the micro-climate. Finally, convective heat transfer coefficients strongly increase with falling room temperature, while radiative heat transfer coefficients decrease. The type of body segment strongly influences the convective heat transfer coefficient, while only minimally influencing the radiative heat transfer coefficient.}, subject = {Raumklima}, language = {en} } @article{MotraHildebrandDimmigOsburg, author = {Motra, Hem Bahadur and Hildebrand, J{\"o}rg and Dimmig-Osburg, Andrea}, title = {Assessment of strain measurement techniques to characterise mechanical properties of structural steel}, series = {Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal}, journal = {Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal}, doi = {10.1016/j.jestch.2014.07.006}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170425-31540}, pages = {260 -- 269}, abstract = {Strain measurement is important in mechanical testing. A wide variety of techniques exists for measuring strain in the tensile test; namely the strain gauge, extensometer, stress and strain determined by machine crosshead motion, Geometric Moire technique, optical strain measurement techniques and others. Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively compare the strain measurement techniques. To carry out the tensile test experiments for S 235, sixty samples were cut from the web of the I-profile in longitudinal and transverse directions in four different dimensions. The geometry of samples are analysed by 3D scanner and vernier caliper. In addition, the strain values were determined by using strain gauge, extensometer and machine crosshead motion. Three techniques of strain measurement are compared in quantitative manner based on the calculation of mechanical properties (modulus of elasticity, yield strength, tensile strength, percentage elongation at maximum force) of structural steel. A statistical information was used for evaluating the results. It is seen that the extensometer and strain gauge provided reliable data, however the extensometer offers several advantages over the strain gauge and crosshead motion for testing structural steel in tension. Furthermore, estimation of measurement uncertainty is presented for the basic material parameters extracted through strain measurement.}, subject = {Baustahl}, language = {en} } @article{XuMourrainGalligoetal., author = {Xu, G. and Mourrain, B. and Galligo, A. and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {High-quality construction of analysis-suitable trivariate NURBS solids by reparameterization methods}, series = {Computational Mechanics}, journal = {Computational Mechanics}, abstract = {High-quality construction of analysis-suitable trivariate NURBS solids by reparameterization methods}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{SilaniZiaeiRadTalebietal., author = {Silani, Mohammad and Ziaei-Rad, S. and Talebi, Hossein and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {A Semi-Concurrent Multiscale Approach for Modeling Damage in Nanocomposites}, series = {Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics}, journal = {Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics}, abstract = {A Semi-Concurrent Multiscale Approach for Modeling Damage in Nanocomposites}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{AmaniBagherzadehRabczuk, author = {Amani, Jafar and Bagherzadeh, Amir Saboor and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Error estimate and adaptive refinement in Mixed Discrete Least Squares Meshless method}, series = {Mathematical Problems in Engineering}, journal = {Mathematical Problems in Engineering}, abstract = {Error estimate and adaptive refinement in Mixed Discrete Least Squares Meshless method}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{ZhaoJiangWangetal., author = {Zhao, Jiyun and Jiang, Jin-Wu and Wang, L. and Guo, Wanlin and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Coarse-grained potentials of single-walled carbon nanotubes}, series = {Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids}, journal = {Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids}, abstract = {Coarse-grained potentials of single-walled carbon nanotubes}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HijaziHusseinKoenig, author = {Hijazi, Ihab Hamzi and Hussein, M.

In this work, the addressed main issues include modeling of the dynamic interaction of the structures, optimization of the parameters of the dampers and comparison of their efficiency. A new approach to optimize multiple tuned mass damper systems on an uncertain model is proposed based on the H-infinity optimization criteria and the DK iteration procedure with norm-bounded uncertainties in frequency domain. The parameters of tuned mass dampers are optimized directly and simultaneously on different modes contributing significantly to the multi-resonant peaks to explore the different possible combinations of parameters. The effectiveness of the present method is also evaluated through comparison with a previous method. In the case of semi-active tuned mass dampers, an optimization algorithm is derived to control the magnetorheological damper in these semi-active damping systems. The use of the proposed algorithm can generate various combinations of control gains and state variables. This can lead to the improvement of the ability of MR dampers to track the desired control forces. An uncertain model to reduce detuning effects is also considered in this work. Next, for fluid viscous dampers, in order to tune the optimal parameters of fluid viscous dampers to the vicinity of the exact values, analytical formulae which can include structural damping are developed based on the perturbation method. The proposed formulae can also be considered as an improvement of the previous analytical formulae, especially for bridge beams with large structural damping. Finally, a new combination of magnetorheological dampers and a double-beam system to improve the performance of the primary structure vibration is proposed. An algorithm to control magnetorheological dampers in this system is developed by using standard linear matrix inequality techniques. Weight functions as a loop shaping procedure are also introduced in the feedback controllers to improve the tracking ability of magnetorheological damping forces. To this end, the effectiveness of magnetorheological dampers controlled by the proposed scheme, along with the effects of the uncertain and time-delay parameters on the models, are evaluated through numerical simulations. Additionally, a comparison of the dampers based on their performance is also considered in this work.}, subject = {High-speed railway bridge}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Cervantes, author = {Cervantes, Juan}, title = {Liberal or coordinated Sustainability?

The results show that the addition of RHA to HPFGC improved significantly compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and chloride penetration resistance. Interestingly, the ratio of compressive strength to splitting tensile strength of HPFGC was lower than that of ordinary concrete, especially for the concrete made with 20 \% RHA.

The phantom node method is used to model the crack in the continuum region and a molecular statics model is used near the crack tip. To ensure self-consistency in the bulk, a virtual atom cluster is used to model the material of the coarse scale. The coupling between the coarse scale and fine scale is realized through ghost atoms. The ghost atom positions are interpolated from the coarse scale solution and enforced as boundary conditions on the fine scale. The fine scale region is adaptively enlarged as the crack propagates and the region behind the crack tip is adaptively coarsened. An energy criterion is used to detect the crack tip location.

CNTs have attracted considerable interests in view of their unique mechanical, electronic, thermal, optical and structural properties, which enable them to have many potential applications. Carbon nanotube exists in several structure forms, from individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to carbon nanotube bundles and networks. The mechanical properties of SWCNTs and MWCNTs have been extensively studied by continuum modeling and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in the past decade since the properties could be important in the CNT-based devices. CNT bundles and networks feature outstanding mechanical performance and hierarchical structures and network topologies, which have been taken as a potential saving-energy material. In the synthesis of nanocomposites, the formation of the CNT bundles and networks is a challenge to remain in understanding how to measure and predict the properties of such large systems. Therefore, a mesoscale method such as a coarse-grained (CG) method should be developed to study the nanomechanical characterization of CNT bundles and networks formation. In this thesis, the main contributions can be written as follows: (1) Explicit solutions for the cohesive energy between carbon nanotubes, graphene and substrates are obtained through continuum modeling of the van der Waals interaction between them. (2) The CG potentials of SWCNTs are established by a molecular mechanics model. (3) The binding energy between two parallel and crossing SWCNTs and MWCNTs is obtained by continuum modeling of the van der Waals interaction between them. Crystalline and amorphous polymers are increasingly used in modern industry as tructural materials due to its important mechanical and physical properties. For crystalline polyethylene (PE), despite its importance and the studies of available MD simulations and continuum models, the link between molecular and continuum descriptions of its mechanical properties is still not well established. For amorphous polymers, the chain length and temperature effect on their elastic and elastic-plastic properties has been reported based on the united-atom (UA) and CG MD imulations in our previous work. However, the effect of the CL and temperature on the failure behavior is not understood well yet. Especially, the failure behavior under shear has been scarcely reported in previous work. Therefore, understanding the molecular origins of macroscopic fracture behavior such as fracture energy is a fundamental scientific challenge. In this thesis, the main contributions can be written as follows: (1) An analytical molecular mechanics model is developed to obtain the size-dependent elastic properties of crystalline PE. (2) We show that the two molecular mechanics models, the stick-spiral and the beam models, predict considerably different mechanical properties of materials based on energy equivalence. The difference between the two models is independent of the materials. (3) The tensile and shear failure behavior dependence on chain length and temperature in amorphous polymers are scrutinized using molecular dynamics simulations. Finally, the influence of polymer wrapped two neighbouring SWNTs' dispersion on their load transfer is investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, in which the SWNTs' position, the polymer chain length and the temperature on the interaction force is systematically studied.}, subject = {Mehrskalenmodell}, language = {en} } @article{AreiasRabczukCamanho, author = {Areias, Pedro and Rabczuk, Timon and Camanho, P.P.}, title = {Finite strain fracture of 2D problems with injected anisotropic softening elements}, series = {Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics}, journal = {Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics}, abstract = {Finite strain fracture of 2D problems with injected anisotropic softening elements}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Buchwald, author = {Buchwald, Anja}, title = {Der Einfluss des Kalziums auf die Kondensation von (Alumo-)Silikaten in alkali-aktivierten Bindern}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2104}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20140124-21046}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {35}, abstract = {Es werden geopolymere und alkali-aktivierte Bindemittel definiert und ihre prinzipiellen technischen und {\"o}kologischen Eigenschaften diskutiert.}, subject = {Bindemittel}, language = {de} } @article{VuBacLahmerKeiteletal., author = {Vu-Bac, N. and Lahmer, Tom and Keitel, Holger and Zhao, Jun-Hua and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Stochastic predictions of bulk properties of amorphous polyethylene based on molecular dynamics simulations}, series = {Mechanics of Materials}, journal = {Mechanics of Materials}, pages = {70 -- 84}, abstract = {Stochastic predictions of bulk properties of amorphous polyethylene based on molecular dynamics simulations}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{JiaAnitescuGhorashietal., author = {Jia, Yue and Anitescu, Cosmin and Ghorashi, Seyed Shahram and Rabczuk, Timon and Dias-da-Costa, D.}, title = {Extended Isogeometric Analysis for Material Interface Problems}, series = {Journal of Applied Mathematics}, journal = {Journal of Applied Mathematics}, abstract = {Extended Isogeometric Analysis for Material Interface Problems}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Walsdorf, author = {Walsdorf, Joern}, title = {M-Learning: Lernen im mobilen Kontext an Hochschulen}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2136}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20140304-21361}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, abstract = {A fundamental characteristic of human beings is the desire to start learning at the moment of birth. The rather formal learning process that learners have to deal with in school, on vocational training or in university, is currently subject to fundamental changes. The increasing technologization, overall existing mobile devices, the ubiquitous access to digital information, and students being early adaptors of all these technological innovations require reactions on the part of the educational system. This study examines such a reaction: The use of mobile learning in higher education. Examining the subject m-learning first requires an investigation of the educational model e-learning. Many universities already established e-learning as one of their educational segments, providing a wide range of methods to support this kind of teaching. This study includes an empirical acceptance analysis regarding the general learning behavior of students and their approval of e-learning methods. A survey on the approval of m-learning supplements the results. Mobile learning is characterized by both the mobility of the communication devices and the users. Both factors lead to new correlations, demonstrate the potential of today's mobile devices and the probability to increase the learning performance. The dissertation addresses these correlations and the use of mobile devices in the context of m-learning. M-learning and the usage of mobile devices not only require a reflection from a technological point of view. In addition to the technical features of such mobile devices, the usability of their applications plays an important role, especially with regard to the limited display size. For the purpose of evaluating mobile apps and browser-based applications, various analytical methods are suitable. The concluding heuristic evaluation points out the vulnerability of an established m-learning application, reveals the need for improvement, and shows an approach to rectify the shortcoming.}, subject = {Mobile Learning}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Wiedemeyer, author = {Wiedemeyer, Nina}, title = {Buchfalten: Material Technik Gef{\"u}ge der K{\"u}nstlerb{\"u}cher}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2333}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20141210-23337}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {215}, abstract = {B{\"u}cher werden nicht erst seit ihrer industriellen Produktion aus gefalzten Papierbogen zusammengesetzt - schon mittelalterliche Codices wurden aus gefalteten Pergamenth{\"a}uten konstruiert.

This study introduces an unconventional approach for structural optimization by utilizing the Energy method with Integral Material Behavior (EIM), based on the Lagrange's principle of minimum potential energy. An automated two-level optimization search process is proposed, which integrates the EIM, as an alternative method for nonlinear structural analysis, and the bilevel optimization. The proposed procedure secures the equilibrium through minimizing the potential energy on one level, and on a higher level, a design objective function. For this, the most robust strategy of bilevel optimization, the nested method is used. The function of the potential energy is investigated along with its instabilities for physical nonlinear analysis through principle examples, by which the advantages and limitations using this method are reviewed. Furthermore, optimization algorithms are discussed. A numerical fully functional code is developed for nonlinear cross section, element and 2D frame analysis, utilizing different finite elements and is verified against existing EIM programs. As a proof of concept, the method is applied on selected examples using this code on cross section and element level. For the former one a comparison is made with standard procedure, by employing the equilibrium equations within the constrains. The validation of the element level was proven by a theoretical solution of an arch bridge and finally, a truss bridge is optimized. Most of the principle examples are chosen to be adequate for the everyday engineering practice, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. This study implies that with further development, this method could become just as competitive as the conventional structural optimization techniques using the Finite Element Method.}, subject = {Strukturoptimierung}, language = {en} } @article{ChenSchwingKarlovšeketal., author = {Chen, Zhen and Schwing, Moritz and Karlovšek, Jurij and Wagner, Norman and Scheuermann, Alexander}, title = {Broadband Dielectric Measurement Methods for Soft Geomaterials: Coaxial Transmission Line Cell and Open-Ended Coaxial Probe}, series = {International Journal of Engineering and Technology}, volume = {2014}, journal = {International Journal of Engineering and Technology}, number = {volume 6, number 5}, doi = {10.7763/IJET.2014.V6.728}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20210408-43984}, pages = {373 -- 380}, abstract = {Broadband dielectric measurement methods based on vector network analyzer coupled with coaxial transmission line cell (CC) and open-ended coaxial probe (OC) are simply reviewed, by which the dielectric behaviors in the frequency range of 1 MHz to 3 GHz of two practical geomaterials are investigated.

What is missing though is an uncertain attitude towards the experimental data since such data can be affected by different sources of uncertainty. In this paper, we introduce the database created for model quality evaluation purposes considering the uncertainties in the experimental data. This is the first step of a larger study on experience-based model quality evaluation of reinforced concrete walls. Here, we briefly present the database as well as six sample validations of the developed numerical model (the quality of which is to be assessed). The database contains the information on nearly 300 wall specimens from about 50 sources. Both the database and the numerical model, built for uncertainty/sensitivity analysis purposes, are mainly based on ten parameters. These include geometry, material, reinforcement layout and loading properties. The validation results prove that the model is able to predict the wall response satisfactorily.

Hybridtechnologien kommen immer dann zum Einsatz, wenn die ausschließliche Nutzung einer Technologie oder eines Werkstoffs nicht zum gew{\"u}nschten Ergebnis f{\"u}hrt. Dann kann durch Kombination unterschiedlicher Werkstoffe oder Technologien ein System geschaffen werden, das in seiner Konfiguration ein Optimum an Eigenschaften darstellt. Im Bauwesen geht die Entwicklung schon seit jeher in Richtung von immer schlankeren ar-chitektonisch ansprechenden Konstruktionen. In der gegenw{\"a}rtigen Entwicklung erm{\"o}glichen hochtechnologische Kunststoffe und Faserwerkstoffe, wie z. B. Kohlenstofffasern, sehr schlanke, leichte und dennoch hochtragf{\"a}higer Konstruktionen. Der wirtschaftliche Aspekt bei der Entwicklung von Tragsystemen bzw. -strukturen erfordert dabei in fast allen F{\"a}llen eine kosteng{\"u}nstig effiziente Ausbildung und die Optimierung von Trageigenschaften und Kostenfaktoren. Daher besteht oft die Anforderung nach einem Verbundsystem, bei dem unterschiedliche Materialien in der Art miteinander kombiniert werden, dass jeder Werkstoff f{\"u}r eine bestimmte Beanspruchung angeordnet wird und sein Tragf{\"a}higkeitspotenzial optimal aussch{\"o}pft. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden an konkreten Beispielen M{\"o}glichkeiten aufge-zeigt, Hochtechnologiewerkstoffe in effizienter Art und Weise zu nutzen. Der Kunststoff-Faser-Verbundwerkstoff stellt eine M{\"o}glichkeit dar, den als solches nur f{\"u}r d{\"u}nnschichtige Klebverbindungen nutzbaren Klebstoff in seinen Anwendungsm{\"o}glichkeiten zu erweitern. Die Fasern wirken dabei dem mechanischen Schwachpunkt des Klebstoffs, einer nur geringen Zugfestigkeit, effektiv entgegen. Mit faserverst{\"a}rkten Klebstoff k{\"o}nnen Anwendungen realisiert werden, bei denen der Klebstoff auch zur Zugkraft{\"u}bertragung ge-nutzt wird. Zus{\"a}tzlich bieten F{\"u}llstoffe eine M{\"o}glichkeit, die Steifigkeit des Klebstoffs zu stei-gern, was f{\"u}r viele mechanischen Beanspruchungen Vorteile mit sich bringt. Die Kombination aus einem partikelgef{\"u}llten und zus{\"a}tzlich faserverst{\"a}rkten Klebstoff f{\"u}hrt zu einem Ver-bundwerkstoff, der f{\"u}r viele unterschiedliche Anwendungen geeignet ist. Praktische Anwen-dungsm{\"o}glichkeiten finden sich in der Herstellung von Fassadenelementen, wo der faserver-st{\"a}rkte Klebstoff zur Verbindung von Aluminiumhohlprofilen verwendet wird. Weitere Anwen-dungsgebiete erstrecken sich auf die Zugkraftbewehrung von Betontragelementen, bei denen der faserverst{\"a}rkte Klebstoff die Rolle einer Zugbewehrung an der Betonoberfl{\"a}che {\"u}bernimmt. Alu-CFK-Hybridelemente erm{\"o}glichen die Herstellung sehr effizienter Tragsysteme, bei de-nen Gewichtsreduzierung der Tragstruktur und Kosteneinsparungen im Betrieb des Bauwerks gleichermaßen erm{\"o}glicht werden. Die CFK-Lamellen werden dabei in den am st{\"a}rksten l{\"a}ngskraftbeanspruchten Bereichen eines Aluminiumtragelementes angeordnet, wodurch sich die Biegetragf{\"a}higkeit des dann hybriden Tragelements signifikant erh{\"o}ht. In der Folge k{\"o}nnen Gewichtsreduzierungen, verglichen mit herk{\"o}mmlichen Aluminiumtragelementen, erzielt werden. Weiterhin k{\"o}nnen die Querschnittsaußenmaße bei Alu-CFK-Hybridelementen deutlich reduziert werden. In der Folge vereinfachen sich der Transport und die Montage dieser Art Tragwerke, was besonders bei fliegenden Bauten einen wesentlichen Vorteil dar-stellt. Der Einsatz von Glas-Kunststoff-Hybridelementen erm{\"o}glicht die Konstruktion transparenter Tragstrukturen in einer optisch einzigartigen Qualit{\"a}t. Die Konstruktion eines Glas-Kunststoff-Hybridelementes erm{\"o}glicht ein redundant wirkendes Tragverhalten, bei dem die Steifigkeit und optische Qualit{\"a}t des Glases optimal im Tragsystem genutzt werden k{\"o}nnen. Der Kunst-stoff stellt eine Art Sicherheitselement dar und {\"u}bernimmt im Falle eines Glasbruchs die Tragwirkung des Glases. Die Eigenschaft der Vorank{\"u}ndigung eines Systemversagens stellt die Grundlage f{\"u}r eine baupraktische Anwendung des Glas-Kunststoff-Hybridelementes als statisches Tragsystem dar. Durch die Redundanz des Tragverhaltens von Glas-Kunststoff-Hybridelementen ist das Versagen dieser Tragstruktur durch optische oder strukturelle An-zeichen erkennbar und eine Bemessung somit m{\"o}glich. F{\"u}r die mechanische Analyse grundlegender Zusammenh{\"a}nge in Hybridsystemen k{\"o}nnen ingenieurm{\"a}ßige, analytische und numerische Betrachtungen durchgef{\"u}hrt werden. Die in-genieurm{\"a}ßigen Betrachtungen sind sehr gut geeignet, um Absch{\"a}tzungen zu treffen, die in sp{\"a}ter durchgef{\"u}hrten experimentellen Bauteiluntersuchungen oft auch ihre Best{\"a}tigung fan-den. Bei Detailbetrachtungen, wie z. B. der Analyse eines nichtlinearen Spannungsverlaufes in mechanisch beanspruchten Klebfugen, bietet eine numerische Betrachtung mittels FEM Vorteile, da sie eine sehr detaillierte Auswertung in Bereichen mit hohen Spannungsgradien-ten erm{\"o}glicht.

Um die Wirksamkeit der Umschn{\"u}rung zu erh{\"o}hen, wird deshalb vorgeschlagen, das umschn{\"u}rende Material vorzuspannen.

So schlicht erkl{\"a}rt sich die grundlegende und aktuelle Relevanz des Themas der Synchronisierung ebenso wie seine kulturtechnische und medienphilosophische Ausformung. Die aktuelle medientheoretische und medienhistorische Aufmerksamkeit f{\"u}r die Verfertigung der Gegenwart (deren wichtigste Operation diejenige der Synchronisierung ist), wie sie sich auch im Jahresthema 2012/2013 der Forschungen am Internationalen Kolleg f{\"u}r Kulturtechnikforschung und Medienphilosophie (IKKM) niedergeschlagen hat, reagiert auf eine spezifische zeitphilosophische Spannungslage, die sich im Anschluss an die strukturale und poststrukturale sowie die systemtheoretische Differenztheorie einerseits und an eher empirische, ph{\"a}nomenale, aber auch technikhistorisch und -theoretisch relevante Sachverhalte andererseits ergeben hat. Den ersten Pol dieser Spannung bildet die Dekonstruktion der Pr{\"a}senz, etwa, im Sinne Jacques Derridas, der Gleichzeitigkeit von Stimme und Ohr beim Sprechen, oder, im Sinne Deborah Eschs, der Live-{\"U}bertragung des Fernsehens. Den anderen Pol jedoch bilden die dennoch sich behauptenden ph{\"a}nomenalen und funktionalen Gleichzeitigkeitserfahrungen und -effekte. Sie umfassen etwa das Miterleben des Spielzuges im Sport, wie Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht es gefasst hat, und zahlreiche andere {\"a}sthetische, insbesondere erhabene Erfahrungen. Am anderen Ende der Skala geh{\"o}ren aber auch Prozesse wie die technische Einsteuerung und Abstimmung von Taktfrequenzen in Regelkreisen und {\"U}bertragungszusammenh{\"a}ngen zu den g{\"u}ltigen Formen effektiver Gleichzeitigkeit. Auch Verdichtungsvorg{\"a}nge wie die mehr oder weniger instantane, ereignisbezogene wie ereignisf{\"o}rmige Bildung und Aufl{\"o}sung von Publika sind derlei relevante Pr{\"a}senzeffekte. Die grundlegende Einsicht in die Gemachtheit und folglich Dekonstruierbarkeit der Gegenwart durch Synchronisierungs- und Desynchronisierungsoperationen jedenfalls widerstreitet nach medienwissenschaftlicher {\"U}berzeugung nicht ihrer Wirklichkeit im Sinne der Wirksamkeit - der lateinischen »actualitas«, als deren deutschsprachige Entsprechung die Scholastik des Mittelalters bei Meister Eckhart den Begriff der »Wirklichkeit« erst einf{\"u}hrte.}, subject = {Medienwissenschaft}, language = {de} } @periodical{OPUS4-4851, title = {Focus Producing Places}, volume = {2014}, number = {5.2014, Heft 1}, editor = {Engell, Lorenz and Siegert, Bernhard}, publisher = {Felix Meiner Verlag}, address = {Hamburg}, organization = {Internationales Kolleg f{\"u}r Kulturtechnikforschung und Medienphilosophie}, issn = {2366-0767}, doi = {10.28937/ZMK-5-1}, pages = {171}, abstract = {Producing places is a twofold topic. It can refer to places as sites that produce something, that are productive, that have operations unfold, or actions happen, or objects emerge. Or it can refer to the fabrication of places as specific entities themselves. With the extended availability and practicability of digital positioning, locating, and tracking systems, it has become evident that places are not just there, but that they are generated, that they are subject to mediatechnological operations and effects. Nonetheless, and at the same time, the aspect of places as being productive has also attracted considerable attention. Furthermore, in either perspective, a media-theoretical challenge has come up. It invests two different threads within the realm of conceptualizing not only space, but precisely place under conditions of media, both of them leading way back into the evolution of media societies and cultural technologies.}, subject = {Medienwissenschaft}, language = {de} } @misc{Kleiner, author = {Kleiner, Florian}, title = {Charakterisierung des Einflusses der W{\"a}rmeleitf{\"a}higkeit von Kompositmaterialien auf die thermochemische W{\"a}rmespeicherung}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4496}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20210921-44968}, pages = {86}, abstract = {Mit dem stetigen Steigen des Anteils an erneuerbaren Energien wird der Einsatz von Speichern immer bedeutsamer. Neben der Speicherung elektrischer Energie ist die Speicherung anfallender solarer bzw. industrieller W{\"a}rme eine wichtige Herausforderung. Aufgrund der hohen Energiespeicherdichte kommt dabei der thermochemischen W{\"a}rmespeicherung eine entscheidende Rolle zu. Eine Klasse dieser Speichermaterialien bilden Kompositmaterialien, die aus einer offenporigen Matrix und einem darin eingelagerten Salzhydrat bestehen. Ausschlaggebend f{\"u}r eine hohe Speicherdichte ist bei dieser Materialklasse der schnelle Abtransport der durch Wasserdampfsorption entstandenen W{\"a}rme. Das entscheidende Kriterium f{\"u}r eine Anwendung als Speichermaterial ist somit die W{\"a}rmeleitf{\"a}higkeit des Materials. Im Rahmen der Arbeit wurden deshalb die W{\"a}rmeleitf{\"a}higkeiten ausgew{\"a}hlter Salze (NaCl, MgSO4 und ZnSO4) mit verschiedenen Kristallwassergehalten, Tr{\"a}germaterialien wie Aktivkohle (Pellets und Pulver) und Zeolitpulver und an den daraus hergestellten Kompositmaterialien untersucht. Ziel war es außerdem Aussagen zu einer g{\"u}nstigen Materialkombination aus offenporigem Tr{\"a}germaterial und Salzhydrat sowie eines geeigneten Porenf{\"u}llgrades zu treffen und Ans{\"a}tze f{\"u}r die Modellierung der W{\"a}rmeleitf{\"a}higkeit der Komposite zu liefern.}, subject = {W{\"a}rmespeicher}, language = {de} }
