In doing so, we reveal the importance of a cross-pucker interaction term in capturing its unique mechanical properties, such as a negative Poisson's ratio. In particular, we show that the cross-pucker interaction enables the pucker to act as a re-entrant hinge, which expands in the lateral direction when it is stretched in the longitudinal direction. As a consequence, single-layered black phosphorus has a negative Poisson's ratio in the direction perpendicular to the atomic plane. As an additional demonstration of the impact of the cross-pucker interaction, we show that it is also the key factor that enables capturing the edge stress-induced bending of single-layered black phosphorus that has been reported in ab initio calculations.}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Sowoidnich, author = {Sowoidnich, Thomas}, title = {A Study of Retarding Effects on Cement and Tricalcium Silicate Hydration induced by Superplasticizers}, isbn = {978-3-00-052204-8}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2544}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20160224-25444}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {214}, abstract = {Fließmittel werden in Betonen verwendet, um deren Fließeigenschaften w{\"a}hrend der Verarbeitung zu verbessern und Wasser einzusparen. Beide Faktoren beeinflussen nicht nur den Frischbeton, sondern auch signifikant die Festbetoneigenschaften. Nachteilig wirken sich Fließmittel auf die Festigkeitsentwicklung aus, die z.T. sehr stark verz{\"o}gert wird. Dies ist vor allem bei Bauteilen, die im Rahmen eines Vorfertigungsprozesses hergestellt werden, ein {\"o}konomischer Nachteil. Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich den Ursachen f{\"u}r die Verz{\"o}gerung der Portlandzementhydratation bei Verwendung von Fließmitteln. Um die komplexen Reaktionen, die w{\"a}hrend der Portlandzementhydratation auftreten, zu vereinfachen, betrachtet ein {\"u}berwiegender Teil der Arbeit die Wechselwirkung Fließmittel-Tricalciumsilikat (Abk. Ca3SiO5 oder C3S, Hauptbestandteil von Portlandzementklinker). Die Untersuchungen werden in drei Hauptteilen durchgef{\"u}hrt, wobei Methoden wie u.a. isotherme W{\"a}rmeflusskalorimetrie, Elektrische Leitf{\"a}higkeit, Elektronenmikroskopie, ICP-OES, TOC als auch Analytische Ultrazentrifugation Anwendung finden. Basierend auf der Wechselwirkung von Kationen mit anionischen Ladungstr{\"a}gern von Polymeren wird die Interaktion von Calcium mit Fließmitteln im ersten Teil der Arbeit untersucht. Dabei kommt es {\"u}berwiegend zur Komplexierung von Calciumionen durch die funktionellen Gruppen der Plymere (Carboxyl- bzw. Sulfonguppen), die in zement{\"a}ren Umgebungen sowohl gel{\"o}st in der w{\"a}ssrigen Phase als auch als Bestandteil von Partikelgrenzfl{\"a}chen vorhanden sind. Neben diesen Effekten kann auch gezeigt werden, dass Fließmittel die Bildung von nanoskaligen Partikeln hervorrufen, die infolge der sterischen Wirkung von Fließmitteln dispergiert in der w{\"a}ssrigen Phase vorliegen (Clusterbildung). Analog zu neuesten Erkenntnissen aus dem Bereich der Biomineralisation ist daher davon auszugehen, dass diese Nanopartikel durch Agglomeration das Kristallwachtsum beeinflussen. Ausgehend von der Annahme, dass die Aufl{\"o}sungs- und/ oder F{\"a}llungskinetik durch die Wirkung von Fließmitteln behindert und damit f{\"u}r den Verz{\"o}gerungseffekt der Fließmittel w{\"a}hrend der komplexen Hydratationsreaktion verantwortlich seien k{\"o}nnen, werden die zugrundeliegenden Vorg{\"a}nge im zweiten Abschnitt getrennt voneinander untersucht. Es wird anhand von L{\"o}sungsuntersuchungen an C-S-H Phasen und Portlandit herausgestellt, dass die Komplexierung von gel{\"o}sten Calciumionen durch funktionelle Gruppen der Polymere die L{\"o}slichkeit von Portlandit erh{\"o}ht. Im Gegensatz f{\"u}hrt die Komplexierung von Calciumionen in der w{\"a}ssrigen Phase zu einer Verringerung der Calciumionenkonzentration in der w{\"a}ssrigen Phase. Diese Effekte werden auf die unterschiedlich starke Adsorptionsneigung der Polymere an C-S-H-Phasen und Portlandit zur{\"u}ckgef{\"u}hrt. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass die Adsorption aufgrund der gr{\"o}ßeren spezifischen Oberfl{\"a}che st{\"a}rker an den C-S-H-Phasen als am Portlandit auftritt. Demnach stellt sich dar, dass die Polymere erst nachdem die funktionellen Gruppen Calciumionen aus der w{\"a}ssrigen Phase komplexiert haben an den C-S-H-Phasen adsorbieren. Weiterhin kann gezeigt werden, dass die freie C3S Aufl{\"o}sungsrate in Anwesenheit von Fließmitteln keinen direkten Zusammenhang zur Verz{\"o}gerung erkennen l{\"a}sst. Teilweise kommt es zu einer in Bezug zur Kontrollprobe ohne Fließmittel erh{\"o}hten sowie auch verringerten Aufl{\"o}sungsrate. Wird das Komplexierungsvem{\"o}gen der Fließmittel ber{\"u}cksichtigt, so kann durchaus eine verlangsamte freie Aufl{\"o}sungsrate ermittelt werden. Doch auch Calcit zeigt einen verz{\"o}gernden Einfluss auf die freie C3S Aufl{\"o}sung, obwohl es den Gesamtprozess der Hydratation signifikant beschleunigt. Somit kann die behinderte Aufl{\"o}sung als m{\"o}gliche Ursache f{\"u}r die verz{\"o}gernde Wirkung w{\"a}hrend der Zementhydratation weder best{\"a}tigt noch widerlegt werden. Dieser Punkt sollte in zuk{\"u}nftigen Arbeiten weiter untersucht werden. Im letzten Schritt dieses Untersuchungsabschnitts wird die reine Kristallisation von C-S-H-Phasen und Portlandit untersucht. Es stellt sich heraus, dass Fließmittel insbesondere durch die Wirkung der Komplexierung von Ionen in der w{\"a}ssrigen Phase sowohl die Induktionszeit verl{\"a}ngern als auch die Kristallwachstumsrate ver{\"a}ndern. Dies allein kann aber nicht die komplette Verz{\"o}gerungswirkung erkl{\"a}ren. Ein wichtiger Verz{\"o}gerungsfaktor ist die Adsorption der Polymere an Kristalloberfl{\"a}chen als auch eine fließmittelbedingte Dispergierung von nanoskaligen Einzelpartikeln, die deren Agglomeration zu Kristallen behindert. Im letzten Hauptuntersuchungsabschnitt werden die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse auf die w{\"a}hrend der Zement- und Tricalciumsilikathydratation parallel ablaufenden Reaktionen analysiert. Dabei wird insbesondere die ionische Zusammensetzung der w{\"a}ssrigen Phase von C3S Pasten und Suspensionen untersucht, um Hinweise f{\"u}r eine kinetische Hemmung der Hydratationsreaktion zu identifizieren. Zusammenfassend wird festgestellt, dass die Ursachen der verz{\"o}gernden Wirkung von Fließmitteln auf die Hydratation von C3S auf die starke Verz{\"o}gerung der Kristallisation von Hydratphasen zur{\"u}ckzuf{\"u}hren ist. Dabei kommt den zwei Faktoren Komplexierung von Calciumionen an Oberfl{\"a}chen und Stabilisierung von nanoskaligen Partikeln eine zentrale Bedeutung zu. Diese Effekte k{\"o}nnen durch die Wirkung als Templat als auch durch Erh{\"o}hung der L{\"o}slichkeit infolge Komplexierung freier/gel{\"o}ster Ionen teilkompensiert werden. Dass die Aufl{\"o}sungsreaktion durch die Anwesenheit von Fließmitteln behindert wird, kann nur indirekt anhand der Entwicklung von Ionenkonzentrationen festgestellt werden. Ob dieser Vorgang die Ursache oder die Folge des L{\"o}sungs-F{\"a}llungs-Mechanismus der Hydratation ist und damit die verz{\"o}gernde Wirkung durch behinderte Aufl{\"o}sung des Edukts hervorgerufen wird, bleibt Gegenstand weiterer Untersuchungen. Im Rahmen der Arbeit kann auch gezeigt werden, dass Fließmittel chemisch als Inhibitoren wirken indem sie den Frequenzfaktor verringern. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus wird erstmalig eine Methode entwickelt, die die Bestimmung der Ionenkonzentration in Pasten in-situ erlaubt. Mit deren Hilfe wird dargestellt, dass die Entwicklung der Ionenkonzentration als auch die allgemein verwendete W{\"a}rmefreisetzungsrate (Kalorimetrie) miteinander korrespondiert. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus erlaubt die entwickelte Methode die weitere Differenzierung der Accelerationsperiode in drei Stadien. Die Kristallisation von C-S-H-Phasen und Portlandit ist f{\"u}r den Beginn der Haupthydratationsperiode entscheidend.}, subject = {Cement}, language = {en} } @article{SilaniTalebiZiaeiRadetal., author = {Silani, Mohammad and Talebi, Hossein and Ziaei-Rad, S. and Hamouda, A.M.S. and Zi, Goangseup and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {A three dimensional Extended Arlequin Method for Dynamic Fracture}, series = {Computational Materials Science}, journal = {Computational Materials Science}, pages = {425 -- 431}, abstract = {A three dimensional Extended Arlequin Method for Dynamic Fracture}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{VuBacSilaniLahmeretal., author = {Vu-Bac, N. and Silani, Mohammad and Lahmer, Tom and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {A unified framework for stochastic predictions of Young's modulus of clay/epoxy nanocomposites (PCNs)}, series = {Computational Materials Science}, journal = {Computational Materials Science}, pages = {520 -- 535}, abstract = {A unified framework for stochastic predictions of Young's modulus of clay/epoxy nanocomposites (PCNs)}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{MsekhSargadoJamshidianetal., author = {Msekh, Mohammed Abdulrazzak and Sargado, M. and Jamshidian, M. and Areias, Pedro and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {ABAQUS implementation of phase_field model for brittle fracture}, series = {Computational Materials Science}, journal = {Computational Materials Science}, pages = {472 -- 484}, abstract = {ABAQUS implementation of phase_field model for brittle fracture}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Beese, author = {Beese, Christine}, title = {About the Internationality of Urbanism: The Influence of International Town Planning Ideas upon Marcello Piacentini's Work}, series = {Urban design and dictatorship in the 20th century: Italy, Portugal, the Soviet Union, Spain and Germany.

Such an understanding is critical for engineers and scientists developing new materials with higher strength and toughness, developing robust designs against failure, or for those concerned with an accurate estimate of a component's design life. Defects like cracks and dislocations evolve at nano scales and influence the macroscopic properties such as strength, toughness and ductility of a material. In engineering applications, the global response of the system is often governed by the behaviour at the smaller length scales. Hence, the sub-scale behaviour must be computed accurately for good predictions of the full scale behaviour. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations promise to reveal the fundamental mechanics of material failure by modeling the atom to atom interactions. Since the atomistic dimensions are of the order of Angstroms ( A), approximately 85 billion atoms are required to model a 1 micro- m^3 volume of Copper. Therefore, pure atomistic models are prohibitively expensive with everyday engineering computations involving macroscopic cracks and shear bands, which are much larger than the atomistic length and time scales. To reduce the computational effort, multiscale methods are required, which are able to couple a continuum description of the structure with an atomistic description. In such paradigms, cracks and dislocations are explicitly modeled at the atomistic scale, whilst a self-consistent continuum model elsewhere. Many multiscale methods for fracture are developed for "fictitious" materials based on "simple" potentials such as the Lennard-Jones potential. Moreover, multiscale methods for evolving cracks are rare. Efficient methods to coarse grain the fine scale defects are missing. However, the existing multiscale methods for fracture do not adaptively adjust the fine scale domain as the crack propagates. Most methods, therefore only "enlarge" the fine scale domain and therefore drastically increase computational cost. Adaptive adjustment requires the fine scale domain to be refined and coarsened. One of the major difficulties in multiscale methods for fracture is to up-scale fracture related material information from the fine scale to the coarse scale, in particular for complex crack problems. Most of the existing approaches therefore were applied to examples with comparatively few macroscopic cracks. Key contributions The bridging scale method is enhanced using the phantom node method so that cracks can be modeled at the coarse scale. To ensure self-consistency in the bulk, a virtual atom cluster is devised providing the response of the intact material at the coarse scale. A molecular statics model is employed in the fine scale where crack propagation is modeled by naturally breaking the bonds. The fine scale and coarse scale models are coupled by enforcing the displacement boundary conditions on the ghost atoms. An energy criterion is used to detect the crack tip location. Adaptive refinement and coarsening schemes are developed and implemented during the crack propagation. The results were observed to be in excellent agreement with the pure atomistic simulations. The developed multiscale method is one of the first adaptive multiscale method for fracture. A robust and simple three dimensional coarse graining technique to convert a given atomistic region into an equivalent coarse region, in the context of multiscale fracture has been developed. The developed method is the first of its kind. The developed coarse graining technique can be applied to identify and upscale the defects like: cracks, dislocations and shear bands. The current method has been applied to estimate the equivalent coarse scale models of several complex fracture patterns arrived from the pure atomistic simulations. The upscaled fracture pattern agree well with the actual fracture pattern. The error in the potential energy of the pure atomistic and the coarse grained model was observed to be acceptable. A first novel meshless adaptive multiscale method for fracture has been developed. The phantom node method is replaced by a meshless differential reproducing kernel particle method. The differential reproducing kernel particle method is comparatively more expensive but allows for a more "natural" coupling between the two scales due to the meshless interpolation functions. The higher order continuity is also beneficial. The centro symmetry parameter is used to detect the crack tip location. The developed multiscale method is employed to study the complex crack propagation. Results based on the meshless adaptive multiscale method were observed to be in excellent agreement with the pure atomistic simulations. The developed multiscale methods are applied to study the fracture in practical materials like Graphene and Graphene on Silicon surface. The bond stretching and the bond reorientation were observed to be the net mechanisms of the crack growth in Graphene. The influence of time step on the crack propagation was studied using two different time steps. Pure atomistic simulations of fracture in Graphene on Silicon surface are presented. Details of the three dimensional multiscale method to study the fracture in Graphene on Silicon surface are discussed.}, subject = {Material}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Riehmann, author = {Riehmann, Patrick}, title = {Advanced Visual Interfaces for Informed Decision-Making}, publisher = {Patrick Riehmann}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2454}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20150907-24542}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {132}, abstract = {This thesis presents new interactive visualization techniques and systems intended to support users with real-world decisions such as selecting a product from a large variety of similar offerings, finding appropriate wording as a non-native speaker, and assessing an alleged case of plagiarism. The Product Explorer is a significantly improved interactive Parallel Coordinates display for facilitating the product selection process in cases where many attributes and numerous alternatives have to be considered. A novel visual representation for categorical and ordered data with only few occurring values, the so-called extended areas, in combination with cubic curves for connecting the parallel axes, are crucial for providing an effective overview of the entire dataset and to facilitate the tracing of individual products. The visual query interface supports users in quickly narrowing down the product search to a small subset or even a single product. The scalability of the approach towards a large number of attributes and products is enhanced by the possibility of setting some constraints on final attributes and, therefore, reducing the number of considered attributes and data items. Furthermore, an attribute repository allows users to focus on the most important attributes at first and to bring in additional criteria for product selection later in the decision process. A user study confirmed that the Product Explorer is indeed an excellent tool for its intended purpose for casual users. The Wordgraph is a layered graph visualization for the interactive exploration of search results for complex keywords-in-context queries. The system relies on the Netspeak web service and is designed to support non-native speakers in finding customary phrases. Uncertainties about the commonness of phrases are expressed with the help of wildcard-based queries. The visualization presents the alternatives for the wildcards in a multi-column layout: one column per wildcard with the other query fragments in between. The Wordgraph visualization displays the sorted results for all wildcards at once by appropriately arranging the words of each column. A user study confirmed that this is a significant advantage over simple textual result lists. Furthermore, visual interfaces to filter, navigate, and expand the graph allow interactive refinement and expansion of wildcard-containing queries. Furthermore, this thesis presents an advanced visual analysis tool for assessing and presenting alleged cases of plagiarism and provides a three-level approach for exploring the so-called finding spots in their context. The overview shows the relationship of the entire suspicious document to the set of source documents. An intermediate glyph-based view reveals the structural and textual differences and similarities of a set of finding spots and their corresponding source text fragments. Eventually, the actual fragments of the finding spot can be shown in a side-by-side view with a novel structured wrapping of both the source, as well as the suspicious text. The three different levels of detail are tied together by versatile navigation and selection operations. Reviews with plagiarism experts confirm that this tool can effectively support their workflow and provides a significant improvement over existing static visualizations for assessing and presenting plagiarism cases. The three main contributions of this research have a lot in common aside from being carefully designed and scientifically grounded solutions to real-world decision problems. The first two visualizations facilitate the decision for a single possibility out of many alternatives, whereas the latter ones deal with text at varying levels of detail. All visual representations are clearly structured based on horizontal and vertical layers contained in a single view and they all employ edges for depicting the most important relationships between attributes, words, or different levels of detail. A detailed analysis considering the context of the established decision-making literature reveals that important steps of common decision models are well-supported by the three visualization systems presented in this thesis.}, subject = {Informatik}, language = {en} } @misc{Damanik, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Damanik, Batta Septo Van Bahtiar}, title = {Aerodynamic Analysis of Slender Vertical Structure and Response Control with Tuned Mass Damper}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2471}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20151030-24714}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, abstract = {Analysis of vortex induced vibration has gained more interest in practical held of civil engineering. The phenomenon often occurs in long and slender vertical structure like high rise building, tower, chimney or bridge pylon, which resulting in unfavorable responses and might lead to the collapse of the structures. The phenomenon appears when frequency of vortex shedding produced in the wake area of body meet the natural frequency of the structure. Even though this phenomenon does not necessarily generate a divergent amplitude response, the structure still may fail due to fatigue damage. To reduce the effect of vortex induced vibration, engineers widely use passive vibration response control system. In this case, the thesis studies the effect of tuned mass damper. The objective of this thesis is to simulate the effect of tuned mass damper in reducing unfavorable responses due to vortex induced vibration and initiated by numerical model validation with respect to wind tunnel test report. The reference structure that being used inside the thesis is Stonecutter Bridge, Hongkong. A numerical solver for computational uid dynamics named VX ow which developed by Morgenthal [6] is utilized for wind and structure simulation. The comparison between numerical model and wind tunnel result shows 10\% maximum tip displacement diference in the model of full erection freestanding tower. The tuned mass damper (TMD) model itself built separately in finite element software SOFiSTiK, and the efective damping obtained from this model then applied inside input modal data of VX ow simulation. A single TMD with mass ratio of TMD 0.5\% to the mass of first bending frequency, the maximum tip displacement is measured to be average 67\% reduced. Considering construction limitation and robustness of TMD, the effects of multiple TMD inside a structure are also studied. An uncoupled procedure of applying aeroelastic loads obtained from VX ow inside finite element software SOFiSTiK is also done to observe the optimum distribution and optimum mass ratio of multiple tuned mass damper. The rest of the properties of TMD are calculated with Den Hartog's formula. The results are as follows: peak displacement in the case of multiple TMD that distributed with polynomial spacing achieve 7.8\% more reduction performance than the one that distributed with equal spacing.

In the last decade, security issues such as the PS3 jailbreak demonstrate that common security notions are rather restrictive, and it seems that they do not model the real world adequately. As a result, in the first part of this work, we introduce a less restrictive security model that is closer to reality. In this model it turned out that existing (on-line) authenticated encryption schemes cannot longer beconsidered secure, i.e. they can guarantee neither data privacy nor data integrity. Therefore, we present two novel authenticated encryption scheme, namely COFFE and McOE, which are not only secure in the standard model but also reasonably secure in our generalized security model, i.e. both preserve full data inegrity. In addition, McOE preserves a resonable level of data privacy. The second part of this thesis starts with proposing the hash function Twister-Pi, a revised version of the accepted SHA-3 candidate Twister. We not only fixed all known security issues of Twister, but also increased the overall soundness of our hash-function design. Furthermore, we present some fundamental groundwork in the area of password-hashing schemes. This research was mainly inspired by the medial omnipresence of password-leakage incidences. We show that the password-hashing scheme scrypt is vulnerable against cache-timing attacks due to the existence of a password-dependent memory-access pattern. Finally, we introduce Catena the first password-hashing scheme that is both memory-consuming and resistant against cache-timing attacks.}, subject = {Kryptologie}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{LopesRodriguesVilaReal, author = {Lopes, Nuno and Rodrigues, Daniela and Vila Real, Paulo}, title = {ANALYSIS OF STEEL STRUCTURAL MEMBERS IN FIRE WITH SLENDER CROSS-SECTIONS THROUGH BEAM FINITE ELEMENTS APPLYING AN EFFECTIVE CONSTITUTIVE LAW}, 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.2811}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28116}, pages = {6}, abstract = {Steel profiles with slender cross-sections are characterized by their high susceptibility to instability phenomena, especially local buckling, which are intensified under fire conditions. This work presents a study on numerical modelling of the behaviour of steel structural elements in case of fire with slender cross-sections. To accurately carry out these analyses it is necessary to take into account those local instability modes, which normally is only possible with shell finite elements. However, aiming at the development of more expeditious methods, particularly important for analysing complete structures in case of fire, recent studies have proposed the use of beam finite elements considering the presence of local buckling through the implementation of a new effective steel constitutive law. The objective of this work is to develop a study to validate this methodology using the program SAFIR. Comparisons are made between the results obtained applying the referred new methodology and finite element analyses using shell elements. The studies were made to laterally restrained beams, unrestrained beams, axially compressed columns and columns subjected to bending plus compression.}, subject = {Angewandte Informatik}, language = {en} } @article{WangArash, author = {Wang, Quan and Arash, Behrouz}, title = {Announcement of a virtual special issue on computational carbon nanoscience}, series = {Carbon}, journal = {Carbon}, doi = {10.1016/j.carbon.2015.05.082}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170428-31695}, pages = {370 -- 372}, abstract = {The Carbon journal is pleased to introduce a themed collection of recent articles in the area of computational carbon nanoscience.
