Among nonlocal models, peridynamics (PD) has attracted a lot of attention as it allows the natural transition from continuum to discontinue and thus allows modeling of discrete cracks without the need to describe and track the crack topology, which has been a major obstacle in traditional discrete crack approaches. This is achieved by replacing the divergence of the Cauchy stress tensor through an integral over so-called bond forces, which account for the interaction of particles. A quasi-continuum approach is then used to calibrate the material parameters of the bond forces, i.e., equating the PD energy with the energy of a continuum. One major issue for the application of PD to general complex problems is that they are limited to fairly simple material behavior and pure mechanical problems based on explicit time integration. PD has been extended to other applications but losing simultaneously its simplicity and ease in modeling material failure. Furthermore, conventional PD suffers from instability and hourglass modes that require stabilization. It also requires the use of constant horizon sizes, which drastically reduces its computational efficiency. The latter issue was resolved by the so-called dual-horizon peridynamics (DH-PD) formulation and the introduction of the duality of horizons. Within the nonlocal operator method (NOM), the concept of nonlocality is further extended and can be considered a generalization of DH-PD. Combined with the energy functionals of various physical models, the nonlocal forms based on the dual-support concept can be derived. In addition, the variation of the energy functional allows implicit formulations of the nonlocal theory. While traditional integral equations are formulated in an integral domain, the dual-support approaches are based on dual integral domains. One prominent feature of NOM is its compatibility with variational and weighted residual methods. The NOM yields a direct numerical implementation based on the weighted residual method for many physical problems without the need for shape functions. Only the definition of the energy or boundary value problem is needed to drastically facilitate the implementation. The nonlocal operator plays an equivalent role to the derivatives of the shape functions in meshless methods and finite element methods (FEM). Based on the variational principle, the residual and the tangent stiffness matrix can be obtained with ease by a series of matrix multiplications. In addition, NOM can be used to derive many nonlocal models in strong form. The principal contributions of this dissertation are the implementation and application of NOM, and also the development of approaches for dealing with fractures within the NOM, mostly for dynamic fractures. The primary coverage and results of the dissertation are as follows: -The first/higher-order implicit NOM and explicit NOM, including a detailed description of the implementation, are presented. The NOM is based on so-called support, dual-support, nonlocal operators, and an operate energy functional ensuring stability. The nonlocal operator is a generalization of the conventional differential operators. Combining with the method of weighted residuals and variational principles, NOM establishes the residual and tangent stiffness matrix of operate energy functional through some simple matrix without the need of shape functions as in other classical computational methods such as FEM. NOM only requires the definition of the energy drastically simplifying its implementation. For the sake of conciseness, the implementation in this chapter is focused on linear elastic solids only, though the NOM can handle more complex nonlinear problems. An explicit nonlocal operator method for the dynamic analysis of elasticity solid problems is also presented. The explicit NOM avoids the calculation of the tangent stiffness matrix as in the implicit NOM model. The explicit scheme comprises the Verlet-velocity algorithm. The NOM can be very flexible and efficient for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). It's also quite easy for readers to use the NOM and extend it to solve other complicated physical phenomena described by one or a set of PDEs. Several numerical examples are presented to show the capabilities of this method. -A nonlocal operator method for the dynamic analysis of (thin) Kirchhoff plates is proposed. The nonlocal Hessian operator is derived from a second-order Taylor series expansion. NOM is higher-order continuous, which is exploited for thin plate analysis that requires \$C^1\$ continuity. The nonlocal dynamic governing formulation and operator energy functional for Kirchhoff plates are derived from a variational principle. The Verlet-velocity algorithm is used for time discretization. After confirming the accuracy of the nonlocal Hessian operator, several numerical examples are simulated by the nonlocal dynamic Kirchhoff plate formulation. -A nonlocal fracture modeling is developed and applied to the simulation of quasi-static and dynamic fractures using the NOM. The phase field's nonlocal weak and associated strong forms are derived from a variational principle. The NOM requires only the definition of energy. We present both a nonlocal implicit phase field model and a nonlocal explicit phase field model for fracture; the first approach is better suited for quasi-static fracture problems, while the key application of the latter one is dynamic fracture. To demonstrate the performance of the underlying approach, several benchmark examples for quasi-static and dynamic fracture are solved.}, subject = {Variationsprinzip}, language = {en} } @misc{ZandersBein, author = {Zanders, Theresa and Bein, Laura Eleana}, title = {Der anonyme Behandlungsschein - von der Idee zur Umsetzung.

The prediction quality of dynamic simulations of vibration-sensitive components depends significantly on the use of appropriate damping models. Damping phenomena have a decisive influence on the vibration amplitude and the frequencies of the vibrating structure. However, developing realistic damping models is challenging due to the multiple sources that cause energy dissipation, such as material damping, different types of friction, or various interactions with the environment. This thesis focuses on thermoelastic damping, which is the main cause of material damping in homogeneous materials. The effect is caused by temperature changes due to mechanical strains. In vibrating structures, temperature gradients arise in adjacent tension and compression areas. Depending on the vibration frequency, they result in heat flows, leading to increased entropy and the irreversible transformation of mechanical energy into thermal energy. The central objective of this thesis is the development of efficient simulation methods to incorporate thermoelastic damping in finite element analyses based on modal superposition. The thermoelastic loss factor is derived from the structure's mechanical mode shapes and eigenfrequencies. In subsequent analyses that are performed in the time and frequency domain, it is applied as modal damping. Two approaches are developed to determine the thermoelastic loss in thin-walled plate structures, as well as three-dimensional solid structures. The realistic representation of the dissipation effects is verified by comparing the simulation results with experimentally determined data. Therefore, an experimental setup is developed to measure material damping, excluding other sources of energy dissipation. The three-dimensional solid approach is based on the determination of the generated entropy and therefore the generated heat per vibration cycle, which is a measure for thermoelastic loss in relation to the total strain energy. For thin plate structures, the amount of bending energy in a modal deformation is calculated and summarized in the so-called Modal Bending Factor (MBF). The highest amount of thermoelastic loss occurs in the state of pure bending. Therefore, the MBF enables a quantitative classification of the mode shapes concerning the thermoelastic damping potential. The results of the developed simulations are in good agreement with the experimental results and are appropriate to predict thermoelastic loss factors. Both approaches are based on modal superposition with the advantage of a high computational efficiency. Overall, the modeling of thermoelastic damping represents an important component in a comprehensive damping model, which is necessary to perform realistic simulations of vibration processes.}, subject = {Werkstoffd{\"a}mpfung}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Yousefi, author = {Yousefi, Hassan}, title = {Discontinuous propagating fronts: linear and nonlinear systems}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4717}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220922-47178}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {356}, abstract = {The aim of this study is controlling of spurious oscillations developing around discontinuous solutions of both linear and non-linear wave equations or hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs). The equations include both first-order and second-order (wave) hyperbolic systems. In these systems even smooth initial conditions, or smoothly varying source (load) terms could lead to discontinuous propagating solutions (fronts). For the first order hyperbolic PDEs, the concept of central high resolution schemes is integrated with the multiresolution-based adaptation to capture properly both discontinuous propagating fronts and effects of fine-scale responses on those of larger scales in the multiscale manner. This integration leads to using central high resolution schemes on non-uniform grids; however, such simulation is unstable, as the central schemes are originally developed to work properly on uniform cells/grids. Hence, the main concern is stable collaboration of central schemes and multiresoltion-based cell adapters. Regarding central schemes, the considered approaches are: 1) Second order central and central-upwind schemes; 2) Third order central schemes; 3) Third and fourth order central weighted non-oscillatory schemes (central-WENO or CWENO); 4) Piece-wise parabolic methods (PPMs) obtained with two different local stencils. For these methods, corresponding (nonlinear) stability conditions are studied and modified, as well. Based on these stability conditions several limiters are modified/developed as follows: 1) Several second-order limiters with total variation diminishing (TVD) feature, 2) Second-order uniformly high order accurate non-oscillatory (UNO) limiters, 3) Two third-order nonlinear scaling limiters, 4) Two new limiters for PPMs. Numerical results show that adaptive solvers lead to cost-effective computations (e.g., in some 1-D problems, number of adapted grid points are less than 200 points during simulations, while in the uniform-grid case, to have the same accuracy, using of 2049 points is essential). Also, in some cases, it is confirmed that fine scale responses have considerable effects on higher scales. In numerical simulation of nonlinear first order hyperbolic systems, the two main concerns are: convergence and uniqueness. The former is important due to developing of the spurious oscillations, the numerical dispersion and the numerical dissipation. Convergence in a numerical solution does not guarantee that it is the physical/real one (the uniqueness feature). Indeed, a nonlinear systems can converge to several numerical results (which mathematically all of them are true). In this work, the convergence and uniqueness are directly studied on non-uniform grids/cells by the concepts of local numerical truncation error and numerical entropy production, respectively. Also, both of these concepts have been used for cell/grid adaptations. So, the performance of these concepts is also compared by the multiresolution-based method. Several 1-D and 2-D numerical examples are examined to confirm the efficiency of the adaptive solver. Examples involve problems with convex and non-convex fluxes. In the latter case, due to developing of complex waves, proper capturing of real answers needs more attention. For this purpose, using of method-adaptation seems to be essential (in parallel to the cell/grid adaptation). This new type of adaptation is also performed in the framework of the multiresolution analysis. Regarding second order hyperbolic PDEs (mechanical waves), the regularization concept is used to cure artificial (numerical) oscillation effects, especially for high-gradient or discontinuous solutions. There, oscillations are removed by the regularization concept acting as a post-processor. Simulations will be performed directly on the second-order form of wave equations. It should be mentioned that it is possible to rewrite second order wave equations as a system of first-order waves, and then simulated the new system by high resolution schemes. However, this approach ends to increasing of variable numbers (especially for 3D problems). The numerical discretization is performed by the compact finite difference (FD) formulation with desire feature; e.g., methods with spectral-like or optimized-error properties. These FD methods are developed to handle high frequency waves (such as waves near earthquake sources). The performance of several regularization approaches is studied (both theoretically and numerically); at last, a proper regularization approach controlling the Gibbs phenomenon is recommended. At the end, some numerical results are provided to confirm efficiency of numerical solvers enhanced by the regularization concept. In this part, shock-like responses due to local and abrupt changing of physical properties, and also stress wave propagation in stochastic-like domains are studied.}, subject = {Partielle Differentialgleichung}, language = {en} } @article{WelchGuerra, author = {Welch Guerra, Max}, title = {Fach, Gesellschaft und Wissenschaft.

Hence, tropical reefs symbolically stand for the destructive effects of human activities on nature [4], [5]. Artificial reefs are excellent examples of how architectural design can be combined with ecosystem regeneration [6], [7], [8]. However, to work at the interface between the artificial and the complex and temporal nature of natural systems presents a challenge, i.a. in respect to the B-rep modelling legacy of computational modelling. The presented doctorate investigates strategies on how to apply digital practice to realise what is an essential bulwark to retain reefs in impossibly challenging times. Beyond the main question of integrating computational modelling and high precision monitoring strategies in artificial coral reef design, this doctorate explores techniques, methods, and linking frameworks to support future research and practice in ecology led design contexts. Considering the many existing approaches for artificial coral reefs design, one finds they often fall short in precisely understanding the relationships between architectural and ecological aspects (e.g. how a surface design and material composition can foster coral larvae settlement, or structural three-dimensionality enhance biodiversity) and lack an integrated underwater (UW) monitoring process. Such a process is necessary in order to gather knowledge about the ecosystem and make it available for design, and to learn whether artificial structures contribute to reef regeneration or rather harm the coral reef ecosystem. For the research, empirical experimental methods were applied: Algorithmic coral reef design, high precision UW monitoring, computational modelling and simulation, and validated through parallel real-world physical experimentation - two Artificial Reef Prototypes (ARPs) in Gili Trawangan, Indonesia (2012-today). Multiple discrete methods and sub techniques were developed in seventeen computational experiments and applied in a way in which many are cross valid and integrated in an overall framework that is offered as a significant contribution to the field. Other main contributions include the Ecosystem-aware design approach, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for coral reef design, algorithmic design and fabrication of Biorock cathodes, new high precision UW monitoring strategies, long-term real-world constructed experiments, new digital analysis methods and two new front-end web-based tools for reef design and monitoring reefs. The methodological framework is a finding of the research that has many technical components that were tested and combined in this way for the very first time. In summary, the thesis responds to the urgency and relevance in preserving marine species in tropical reefs during this massive extinction period by offering a differentiated approach towards artificial coral reefs - demonstrating the feasibility of digitally designing such 'living architecture' according to multiple context and performance parameters. It also provides an in-depth critical discussion of computational design and architecture in the context of ecosystem regeneration and Planetary Thinking. In that respect, the thesis functions as both theoretical and practical background for computational design, ecology and marine conservation - not only to foster the design of artificial coral reefs technically but also to provide essential criteria and techniques for conceiving them.

The main idea of the method is to use the same spline basis functions which describe the geometry in CAD systems for the approximation of solution fields in the finite element method (FEM). Originally, NURBS which is a standard technology employed in CAD systems was adopted as basis functions in IGA but there were several variants of IGA using other technologies such as T-splines, PHT splines, and subdivision surfaces as basis functions. In general, IGA offers two key advantages over classical FEM: (i) by describing the CAD geometry exactly using smooth, high-order spline functions, the mesh generation process is simplified and the interoperability between CAD and FEM is improved, (ii) IGA can be viewed as a high-order finite element method which offers basis functions with high inter-element continuity and therefore can provide a primal variational formulation of high-order PDEs in a straightforward fashion. The main goal of this thesis is to further advance isogeometric analysis by exploiting these major advantages, namely precise geometric modeling and the use of smooth high-order splines as basis functions, and develop robust computational methods for problems with complex geometry and/or complex multi-physics. As the first contribution of this thesis, we leverage the precise geometric modeling of isogeometric analysis and propose a new method for its coupling with meshfree discretizations. We exploit the strengths of both methods by using IGA to provide a smooth, geometrically-exact surface discretization of the problem domain boundary, while the Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM) discretization is used to provide the volumetric discretization of the domain interior. The coupling strategy is based upon the higher-order consistency or reproducing conditions that are directly imposed in the physical domain. The resulting coupled method enjoys several favorable features: (i) it preserves the geometric exactness of IGA, (ii) it circumvents the need for global volumetric parameterization of the problem domain, (iii) it achieves arbitrary-order approximation accuracy while preserving higher-order smoothness of the discretization. Several numerical examples are solved to show the optimal convergence properties of the coupled IGA-RKPM formulation, and to demonstrate its effectiveness in constructing volumetric discretizations for complex-geometry objects. As for the next contribution, we exploit the use of smooth, high-order spline basis functions in IGA to solve high-order surface PDEs governing the morphological evolution of vesicles. These governing equations are often consisted of geometric PDEs, high-order PDEs on stationary or evolving surfaces, or a combination of them. We propose an isogeometric formulation for solving these PDEs. In the context of geometric PDEs, we consider phase-field approximations of mean curvature flow and Willmore flow problems and numerically study the convergence behavior of isogeometric analysis for these problems. As a model problem for high-order PDEs on stationary surfaces, we consider the Cahn-Hilliard equation on a sphere, where the surface is modeled using a phase-field approach. As for the high-order PDEs on evolving surfaces, a phase-field model of a deforming multi-component vesicle, which consists of two fourth-order nonlinear PDEs, is solved using the isogeometric analysis in a primal variational framework. Through several numerical examples in 2D, 3D and axisymmetric 3D settings, we show the robustness of IGA for solving the considered phase-field models. Finally, we present a monolithic, implicit formulation based on isogeometric analysis and generalized-alpha time integration for simulating hydrodynamics of vesicles according to a phase-field model. Compared to earlier works, the number of equations of the phase-field model which need to be solved is reduced by leveraging high continuity of NURBS functions, and the algorithm is extended to 3D settings. We use residual-based variational multi-scale method (RBVMS) for solving Navier-Stokes equations, while the rest of PDEs in the phase-field model are treated using a standard Galerkin-based IGA. We introduce the resistive immersed surface (RIS) method into the formulation which can be employed for an implicit description of complex geometries using a diffuse-interface approach. The implementation highlights the robustness of the RBVMS method for Navier-Stokes equations of incompressible flows with non-trivial localized forcing terms including bending and tension forces of the vesicle.

In this sense, the Central Argentine Dairy Basin (CADB) is presented as a space where the traces of different human projects have accumulated over centuries of occupation, which can be read as heritage. The impact of dairy farming and other productive activities has shaped the configuration of its landscape. The main hypothesis assumed that a cultural landscape would have been formed in the CADB, whose configuration would have depended to a great extent on the history of productive activities and their deployment over the territory, and this same history would hide the keys to its alternative. The thesis approached the object of study from descriptive and cartographic methods that placed the narration of the history of territory and the resources of the landscape as a discursive axis. A series of intentional readings of the territory and its constituent parts pondered the layers of data that have accumulated on it in the form of landscape traces, with the help of an approach from complementary dimensions (natural, sociocultural, productive, planning). Furthermore, the intersection of historical sources was used in order to allow the construction of the territorial story and the detection of the origin of the landscape components. A meticulous cartographic work also helped to spatialise the set of phenomena and elements studied, and was reflected in a multiscalar scanning.}, subject = {Landschaft}, language = {es} } @article{TeitelbaumAlsaadAvivetal., author = {Teitelbaum, Eric and Alsaad, Hayder and Aviv, Dorit and Kim, Alexander and V{\"o}lker, Conrad and Meggers, Forrest and Pantelic, Jovan}, title = {Addressing a systematic error correcting for free and mixed convection when measuring mean radiant temperature with globe thermometers}, series = {Scientific reports}, volume = {2022}, journal = {Scientific reports}, number = {Volume 12, article 6473}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {London}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-022-10172-5}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220509-46363}, pages = {18}, abstract = {It is widely accepted that most people spend the majority of their lives indoors. Most individuals do not realize that while indoors, roughly half of heat exchange affecting their thermal comfort is in the form of thermal infrared radiation. We show that while researchers have been aware of its thermal comfort significance over the past century, systemic error has crept into the most common evaluation techniques, preventing adequate characterization of the radiant environment. Measuring and characterizing radiant heat transfer is a critical component of both building energy efficiency and occupant thermal comfort and productivity. Globe thermometers are typically used to measure mean radiant temperature (MRT), a commonly used metric for accounting for the radiant effects of an environment at a point in space. In this paper we extend previous field work to a controlled laboratory setting to (1) rigorously demonstrate that existing correction factors used in the American Society of Heating Ventilation and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 55 or ISO7726 for using globe thermometers to quantify MRT are not sufficient; (2) develop a correction to improve the use of globe thermometers to address problems in the current standards; and (3) show that mean radiant temperature measured with ping-pong ball-sized globe thermometers is not reliable due to a stochastic convective bias.

This approach is introduced for different dimensional problems: 2D, 3D axi-symmetric and fully 3D problems. The boundary element method (BEM) is coupled with the isogeometric analysis (IGA) forming the so-called (IGABEM) which speeds up meshing and gives higher accuracy in comparison with standard BEM. BEM is superior for handling unbounded domains by modeling only the inner boundaries and avoiding the truncation error, present in the finite element method (FEM) since BEM solutions satisfy the Sommerfeld radiation condition automatically. Moreover, BEM reduces the space dimension by one from a volumetric three-dimensional problem to a surface two-dimensional problem, or from a surface two-dimensional problem to a perimeter one-dimensional problem. Non-uniform rational B-splines basis functions (NURBS) are used in an isogeometric setting to describe both the CAD geometries and the physical fields. IGABEM is coupled with one of the gradient-free optimization methods, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for structural shape optimization problems. PSO is a straightforward method since it does not require any sensitivity analysis but it has some trade-offs with regard to the computational cost. Coupling IGA with optimization problems enables the NURBS basis functions to represent the three models: shape design, analysis and optimization models, by a definition of a set of control points to be the control variables and the optimization parameters as well which enables an easy transition between the three models. Acoustic shape optimization for various frequencies in different mediums is performed with PSO and the results are compared with the benchmark solutions from the literature for different dimensional problems proving the efficiency of the proposed approach with the following remarks: - In 2D problems, two BEM methods are used: the conventional isogeometric boundary element method (IGABEM) and the eXtended IGABEM (XIBEM) enriched with the partition-of-unity expansion using a set of plane waves, where the results are generally in good agreement with the linterature with some computation advantage to XIBEM which allows coarser meshes. -In 3D axi-symmetric problems, the three-dimensional problem is simplified in BEM from a surface integral to a combination of two 1D integrals. The first is the line integral similar to a two-dimensional BEM problem. The second integral is performed over the angle of revolution. The discretization is applied only to the former integration. This leads to significant computational savings and, consequently, better treatment for higher frequencies over the full three-dimensional models. - In fully 3D problems, a detailed comparison between two BEM methods: the conventional boundary integral equation (CBIE) and Burton-Miller (BM) is provided including the computational cost. The proposed models are enhanced with a modified collocation scheme with offsets to Greville abscissae to avoid placing collocation points at the corners. Placing collocation points on smooth surface enables accurate evaluation of normals for BM formulation in addition to straightforward prediction of jump-terms and avoids singularities in \$\mathcal{O} (1/r)\$ integrals eliminating the need for polar integration. Furthermore, no additional special treatment is required for the hyper-singular integral while collocating on highly distorted elements, such as those containing sphere poles. The obtained results indicate that, CBIE with PSO is a feasible alternative (except for a small number of fictitious frequencies) which is easier to implement. Furthermore, BM presents an outstanding treatment of the complicated geometry of mufflers with internal extended inlet/outlet tube as an interior 3D Helmholtz acoustic problem instead of using mixed or dual BEM.}, subject = {Randelemente-Methode}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Schnoes, author = {Schn{\"o}s, Christian Emanuel}, title = {Handlungsressourcen von zivilgesellschaftlichen Akteuren in Planungsprozessen}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4634}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220505-46346}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {273}, abstract = {Diese Dissertation untersucht Handlungsressourcen von zivilgesellschaftlichen Akteuren in Planungsprozessen um innerst{\"a}dtische Planungsverfahren.

Feuchteinwirkung f{\"u}hrt zudem zu starken Festigkeitsverlusten. Aus diesem Grund werden diese Bindemittel ausschließlich f{\"u}r Baustoffe und -produkte im Innenbereich ohne permanenten Feuchtebeanspruchung eingesetzt. Eine M{\"o}glichkeit, die Feuchtebest{\"a}ndigkeit zu erh{\"o}hen, ist die Beimischung puzzolanischer und zement{\"a}rer Komponenten. Diese Mischsysteme werden Gips-Zement-Puzzolan-Bindemittel (kurz: GZPB) genannt. Mischungen aus Calciumsulfaten und Portlandzementen allein sind aufgrund der treibenden Ettringitbildung nicht raumbest{\"a}ndig. Durch die Zugabe von puzzolanischen Stoffen k{\"o}nnen aber Bedingungen im hydratisierenden System geschaffen werden, welche eine rissfreie Erh{\"a}rtung erm{\"o}glichen. Hierf{\"u}r ist eine exakte Rezeptierung der GZPB notwendig, um die GZPB-typischen, ettringitbedingten Dehnungen zeitlich zu begrenzen. Insbesondere bei alumosilikatischen Puzzolanen treten w{\"a}hrend der Hydratation gegen{\"u}ber rein silikatischen Puzzolanen deutlich h{\"o}here Expansionen auf, wodurch die Gefahr einer potenziellen Rissbildung steigt. F{\"u}r die Erstellung geeigneter GZPB-Zusammensetzungen bedarf es daher einer Methodik, um raumbest{\"a}ndig erh{\"a}rtende Systeme sicher von destruktiven Mischungen unterscheiden zu k{\"o}nnen. Sowohl f{\"u}r die Rezeptierung als auch f{\"u}r die Anwendung der GZPB existieren in Deutschland keinerlei Normen. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus sind die Hydratationsvorg{\"a}nge sowie die entstehenden Produkte nicht konsistent beschrieben. Auch auf die Besonderheiten der GZPB mit alumosilikatischen Puzzolanen wird in der Literatur nur unzureichend eingegangen. Ziel war es daher, ein grundlegendes Verst{\"a}ndnis der Hydratation sowie eine sichere Methodik zur Rezeptierung raumbest{\"a}ndig und rissfrei erh{\"a}rtender GZPB, insbesondere in Hinblick auf die Verwendung alumosilikatischer Puzzolane, zu erarbeiten. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus sollte systematisch der Einfluss der Einzelkomponenten auf Hydratation und Eigenschaften dieser Bindemittelsysteme untersucht werden. Dies soll erm{\"o}glichen, die GZPB f{\"u}r ein breites Anwendungsspektrum als Bindemittel zu etablieren, und somit vorteilhafte Eigenschaften der Calciumsulfate (geringe Schwindneigung, geringe CO2-Emission etc.) mit der Leistungs-f{\"a}higkeit von Zementen (Wasserbest{\"a}ndigkeit, Festigkeit, Dauerhaftigkeit etc.) zu verbinden. Als Ausgangsstoffe der Untersuchungen zu den GZPB wurden Stuckgips und Alpha-Halbhydrat als Calciumsulfatbindemittel in unterschiedlichen Anteilen im GZPB verwendet. Die Puzzolan-Zement-Verh{\"a}ltnisse wurden ebenfalls variiert. Als Puzzolan kam f{\"u}r den Großteil der Untersuchungen ein alumosilikatisches Metakaolin zum Einsatz. Als kalkspendende Komponente diente ein reiner Portlandzement. Das Untersuchungsprogramm gliederte sich in 4 Teile. Zuerst wurde anhand von CaO- und pH-Wert-Messungen in Suspensionen sowie dem L{\"a}ngen{\"a}nderungsverhalten von Bindemittelleimen verschiedener Zusammensetzungen eine Vorauswahl geeigneter GZPB-Rezepturen ermittelt. Danach erfolgten, ebenfalls an Bindemittelleimen, Untersuchungen zu den Eigenschaften der als geeignet eingesch{\"a}tzten GZPB-Mischungen. Hierzu z{\"a}hlten Langzeitbetrachtungen zur rissfreien Erh{\"a}rtung bei unterschiedlichen Umgebungsbedingungen sowie die Festigkeitsentwicklung im trockenen und feuchten Zustand. Im n{\"a}chsten Schritt wurde anhand zweier exemplarischer GZPB-Zusammensetzungen (mit silikatischen und alumosilikatischen Puzzolan) die prinzipiell m{\"o}gliche Phasenzusammensetzung unter Variation des Puzzolan-Zement-Verh{\"a}ltnisses (P/Z-Verh{\"a}ltnis) und des Calciumsulfatanteils im thermodynamischen Gleichgewichtszustand berechnet. Hier wurde im Besonderen auf Unterschiede der silikatischen und alumosilikatischen Puzzolane eingegangen. Im letzten Teil der Untersuchungen wurden die Hydratationskinetik der GZPB sowie die Gef{\"u}geentwicklung n{\"a}her betrachtet. Hierf{\"u}r wurden die Porenl{\"o}sungen chemisch analysiert und S{\"a}ttigungsindizes berechnet, sowie elektronenmikropische, porosimetrische und r{\"o}ntgenografische Untersuchungen durchgef{\"u}hrt. Abschließend wurden die Ergebnisse gesamtheitlich interpretiert, da die Ergebnisse der einzelnen Untersuchungsprogramme miteinander in Wechselwirkung stehen. Als haupts{\"a}chliche Hydratationsprodukte wurden Calciumsulfat-Dihydrat, Ettringit und C-(A)-S-H-Phasen ermittelt, deren Anteile im GZPB neben dem Calciumsulfatanteil und dem Puzzolan-Zement-Verh{\"a}ltnis auch deutlich vom Wasserangebot und der Gef{\"u}geentwicklung abh{\"a}ngen. Bei Verwendung von alumosilikatischen Puzzolans kommt es wahrscheinlich zur teilweisen Substitution des Siliciums durch Aluminium in den C-S-H-Phasen. Dies erscheint aufgrund des Nachweises der f{\"u}r diese Phasen typischen, folienartigen Morphologie wahrscheinlich. Portlandit wurde in raumbest{\"a}ndigen GZPB-Systemen nur zu sehr fr{\"u}hen Zeitpunkten in geringen Mengen gefunden. In den Untersuchungen konnte ein Teil der in der Literatur beschriebenen, prinzipiellen Hydratationsabl{\"a}ufe best{\"a}tigt werden. Bei Verwendung von Halbhydrat als Calciumsulfatkomponente entsteht zuerst Dihydrat und bildet die Prim{\"a}rstruktur der GZPB. In dieses existierende Grundgef{\"u}ge kristallisieren dann das Ettringit und die C-(A)-S-H-Phasen. In den GZPB sorgen entgegen der Beschreibungen in der Literatur nicht ausschließlich die C-(A)-S-H-Phasen zur Verbesserung der Feuchtebest{\"a}ndigkeit und der Erh{\"o}hung des Festigkeitsniveaus, sondern auch das Ettringit. Beide Phasen {\"u}berwachsen im zeitlichen Verlauf der Hydratation die Dihydratkristalle in der Matrix und h{\"u}llen diese - je nach Calciumsulfatanteil im GZPB - teilweise oder vollst{\"a}ndig ein. Diese Umh{\"u}llung sowie die starke Gef{\"u}geverdichtung durch die C-(A)-S-H-Phasen und das Ettringit bedingen, dass ein l{\"o}sender Angriff durch Wasser erschwert oder gar verhindert wird. Gleichzeitig wird die Gleitf{\"a}higkeit an den Kontaktstellen der Dihydratkristalle verringert. Eine rissfreie und raumbest{\"a}ndige Erh{\"a}rtung ist f{\"u}r die gefahrlose Anwendung eines GZPB-Systems essentiell. Hierf{\"u}r ist die Kinetik der Ettringitbildung von elementarer Bedeutung. Die gebildete Ettringitmenge spielt nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. Selbst ausgepr{\"a}gte, ettringitbedingte Dehnungen und hohe sich bildende Mengen f{\"u}hren zu fr{\"u}hen Zeitpunkten, wenn die Dihydratkristalle noch leicht gegeneinander verschiebbar sind, zu keinen Sch{\"a}den. Bleibt die {\"U}bers{\"a}ttigung bez{\"u}glich Ettringit und somit auch der Kristallisationsdruck allerdings {\"u}ber einen langen Zeitraum hoch, gen{\"u}gen bereits geringe Ettringitmengen, um das sich stetig verfestigende Gef{\"u}ge stark zu sch{\"a}digen. Die f{\"u}r die raumbest{\"a}ndige Erh{\"a}rtung der GZPB notwendige, schnelle Abnahme der Ettringit{\"u}bers{\"a}ttigung wird haupts{\"a}chlich durch die Reaktivit{\"a}t des Puzzolans beeinflusst. Die puzzolanische Reaktion f{\"u}hrt zur Bindung des aus dem Zement stammenden Calciumhydroxid durch die Bildung von C-(A)-S-H-Phasen und Ettringit. Hierdurch sinkt die Calcium- und Hydroxidionenkonzentration in der Porenl{\"o}sung im Verlauf der Hydratation, wodurch auch die {\"U}bers{\"a}ttigung bez{\"u}glich Ettringit abnimmt. Je h{\"o}her die Reaktivit{\"a}t des Puzzolans ist, desto schneller sinkt der S{\"a}ttigungsindex des Ettringits und somit auch der Kristallisationsdruck. Nach Unterschreiten eines noch n{\"a}her zu kl{\"a}rendem Grenzwert der {\"U}bers{\"a}ttigung stagnieren die Dehnungen. Das Ettringit kristallisiert bzw. w{\"a}chst nun bevorzugt in den Poren ohne eine weitere, {\"a}ußere Volumenzunahme zu verursachen. Um eine schadensfreie Erh{\"a}rtung des GZPB zu gew{\"a}hrleisten, muss gerade in der fr{\"u}hen Phase der Hydratation ein ausreichendes Wasserangebot gew{\"a}hrleistet werden, so dass die Ettringitbildung m{\"o}glichst vollst{\"a}ndig ablaufen kann. Andernfalls kann es bei einer Wiederbefeuchtung zur Reaktivierung der Ettringitbildung kommen, was im eingebauten Zustand Sch{\"a}den verursachen kann. Die Gew{\"a}hrleistung eines ausreichenden Wasserangebots ist im GZPB-System nicht unproblematisch. In Abh{\"a}ngigkeit der GZPB-Zusammensetzung k{\"o}nnen sich große Ettringitmengen bilden, die einen sehr hohen Wasserbedarf aufweisen. Deshalb kann es, je nach verwendeten Wasser-Bindemittel-Wert, im Bindemittelleim zu einem Wassermangel kommen, welcher die weitere Hydratation verlangsamt bzw. komplett verhindert. Zudem k{\"o}nnen GZPB-Systeme teils sehr dichte Gef{\"u}ge ausbilden, wodurch der Wassertransport zum Reaktionsort des Ettringits zus{\"a}tzlich behindert wird. Die Konzeption raumbest{\"a}ndiger GZPB-Systeme muss anhand mehrerer aufeinander aufbauender Untersuchungen erfolgen. Zur Vorauswahl geeigneter Puzzolan-Zementverh{\"a}ltnisse eignen sich die Messungen der CaO-Konzentration und des pH-Wertes in Suspensionen. Als alleinige Beurteilungsgrundlage reicht dies allerdings nicht aus. Zus{\"a}tzlich muss das L{\"a}ngen{\"a}nderungs-verhalten beurteilt werden. Raumbest{\"a}ndige Mischungen mit alumosilikatischen Puzzolanen zeigen zu fr{\"u}hen Zeitpunkten starke Dehnungen, welche dann abrupt stagnieren. Stetige - auch geringe - Dehnungen weisen auf eine destruktive Zusammensetzung hin. Mit diesem mehrstufigen Vorgehen k{\"o}nnen raumbest{\"a}ndige, stabile GZPB-Systeme konzipiert werden, so dass die Zielstellung der Arbeit erreicht wurde und ein sicherer praktischer Einsatz dieser Bindemittelart gew{\"a}hrleistet werden kann.  }, subject = {Gips}, language = {de} } @article{RabczukGuoZhuangetal., author = {Rabczuk, Timon and Guo, Hongwei and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Chen, Pengwan and Alajlan, Naif}, title = {Stochastic deep collocation method based on neural architecture search and transfer learning for heterogeneous porous media}, series = {Engineering with Computers}, volume = {2022}, journal = {Engineering with Computers}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {London}, doi = {10.1007/s00366-021-01586-2}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220209-45835}, pages = {1 -- 26}, abstract = {We present a stochastic deep collocation method (DCM) based on neural architecture search (NAS) and transfer learning for heterogeneous porous media.

Die Notwendigkeit, Alternativen zu synthetischen Zusatzmittel zu erforschen, ergibt sich aus der ben{\"o}tigten Menge zur Verarbeitung von ca. 4,1 Gt/a, wobei ca. 85 \% der Zusatzmittel auf die Fließmittel entfallen. Um Fließmittel aus St{\"a}rke zu synthetisieren, wurden drei Basisst{\"a}rken unterschiedlicher Herkunft verwendet. Es wurde eine Maniokst{\"a}rke mit einer niedrigen Molekularmasse und eine Weizenst{\"a}rke mit einer hohen Molekularmasse verwendet. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus wurde eine Kartoffelst{\"a}rke mit einer mittleren Molekularmasse, die ein Abfallprodukt der kartoffelverarbeitenden Industrie darstellt, genutzt. Die St{\"a}rkefließmittel wurden durch chemische Modifikation in einem zweistufigen Prozess synthetisiert. Im ersten Schritt wurde das Molekulargewicht der Weizen- und Kartoffelst{\"a}rke durch s{\"a}urehydrolytischen Abbau verringert. F{\"u}r die kurzkettige Maniokst{\"a}rke war eine Degradation der Molekularmasse nicht notwendig. Im zweiten Syntheseschritt wurden anionische Ladungen durch das Versetzen der degradierten St{\"a}rken und Maniokst{\"a}rke mit Natriumvinylsulfonat in die St{\"a}rkemolek{\"u}le eingef{\"u}hrt. Beurteilung der Synthesemethode zur Erzeugung von St{\"a}rkefließmitteln In diesem Zusammenhang sollten molekulare Parameter der St{\"a}rkefließmittel gezielt eingestellt werden, um eine Fließwirkung im Portlandzement zu erhalten. Insbesondere die Molekularmasse und die Menge anionischer Ladungen sollte variiert werden, um Abh{\"a}ngigkeiten mit der Dispergierleistung zu identifizieren. 1. Es konnte durch GPC-Messungen gezeigt werden, dass die Molekularmasse der langkettigen Weizenst{\"a}rke durch die gew{\"a}hlten Modifizierungsbedingungen zum s{\"a}urehydrolytischen Abbau verringert werden konnte. Durch Variation der s{\"a}urehydrolytischen Bedingungen wurden 4 degradierte Weizenst{\"a}rken erzeugt, die eine Reduzierung der Molekularmasse um 27,5 - 43 \% aufwiesen. Die Molekularmasse der Kartoffelst{\"a}rke konnte durch s{\"a}urehydrolytischen Abbau um ca. 26 \% verringert werden. 2. Durch PCD-Messungen wurde gezeigt, dass anionische Ladungen durch Sulfoethylierung der freien Hydroxylgruppen in die degradierten St{\"a}rken eingef{\"u}hrt werden konnten. Durch Variation der Dauer der Sulfoethylierung konnte die Menge der anionischen Ladungen gesteuert und gezielt variiert werden, so dass St{\"a}rkefließmittel mit steigender Ladungsmenge in folgender Reihenfolge synthetisiert wurden: W-3 < W-2 < K-1 < W¬-4 < W¬1 < M-1 Im Ergebnis der chemischen Modifizierung konnten 6 St{\"a}rkefließmittel mit variierten Molekularmassen und anionischen Ladungen erzeugt werden. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Herkunft der St{\"a}rke f{\"u}r die chemische Modifizierung unerheblich ist. Die Fließmittel lagen synthesebedingt als basische, w{\"a}ssrige Suspensionen mit Wirkstoffgehalten im Bereich von 23,5 - 50 \% vor. Beurteilung der Dispergierleistung der synthetisierten St{\"a}rkefließmittel Die Dispergierperformance wurde durch rheologische Experimente mit einem Rotationsviskosimeter erfasst. Dabei wurden der Einfluss auf die Fließkurven und die Viskosit{\"a}tskurven betrachtet. Durch Vergleich der Dispergierleistung mit einem Polykondensat- und einem PCE-Fließmittel konnte eine Einordnung und Bewertung der Fließmittel vorgenommen werden. 3. Die rheologische Experimente haben gezeigt, dass die St{\"a}rkefließmittel eine vergleichbar hohe Dispergierleistung aufweisen, wie das zum Vergleich herangezogen PCE-Fließmittel. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus zeigte sich, dass die Fließwirkung der 6 St{\"a}rkefließmittel gegen{\"u}ber dem Polykondensatfließmittel deutlich h{\"o}her ist. Das aus der Literatur bekannte Einbrechen der Dispergierleistung der Polykondensat-fließmittel bei w/z-Werten < 0,4 konnte best{\"a}tigt werden. 4. Alle 6 St{\"a}rkefließmittel f{\"u}hrten zu einer Verringerung der Fließgrenze und der dynamischen Viskosit{\"a}t des Zementleimes bei einem w/z-Wert von 0,35. 5. Der Vergleich der Dispergierleistung der St{\"a}rkefließmittel untereinander zeigte, dass die anionische Ladungsmenge einen Schl{\"u}sselparameter darstellt. Die St{\"a}rkefließmittel M-1, K-1, W-1 und W-4 mit anionischen Ladungsmengen > 6 C/g zeigten die h{\"o}chste Dispergier¬performance. Die vergleichend herangezogenen klassischen Fließmittel wiesen anionische Ladungsmengen im Bereich von 1,2 C/g (Polycondensat) und 1,6 C/g (PCE) auf. Die Molekularmasse schien f{\"u}r die Dispergierleistung zun{\"a}chst unerheblich zu sein. Aus diesem Grund wurde die Basisweizenst{\"a}rke erneut chemisch modifiziert, indem anionische Ladungen eingef{\"u}hrt wurden, ohne die Molekularmasse jedoch zu verringern. Das St{\"a}rkederivat wies verdickende Eigenschaften im Zementleim auf. Daraus konnte geschlussfolgert werden, dass eine definierte Grenzmolekularmasse (150.000 Da) existiert, die unterschritten werden muss, um Fließmittel aus St{\"a}rke zu erzeugen. Des Weiteren zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass durch die chemische Modifizierung sowohl Fließmittel als auch Verdicker aus St{\"a}rke erzeugt werden k{\"o}nnen. Beurteilung der Beeinflussung der Hydratation und der Porenl{\"o}sung des Portlandzementes Aus der Literatur ist bekannt, dass Fließmittel die Hydratation von Portlandzement maßgeblich beeinflussen k{\"o}nnen. Aus diesem Grund wurden kalorimetrische und konduktometrische Untersuchungen an Zementsuspensionen, die mit den synthetisierten St{\"a}rkefließmitteln versetzt wurden, durchgef{\"u}hrt. Erg{\"a}nzt wurden die Untersuchungen durch Porenl{\"o}sungsanalysen zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten der Hydratation. 6. Die kalorimetrischen Untersuchungen zur Beeinflussung der Hydratation des Portlandzementes zeigten, dass die dormante Periode durch die Zugabe der St{\"a}rkefließmittel z.T. erheblich verl{\"a}ngert wird. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass, je h{\"o}her die anionische Ladungsmenge der St{\"a}rkefließmittel ist, desto l{\"a}nger dauert die dormante Periode andauert. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus zeigte sich, dass eine niedrige Molekularmasse der St{\"a}rkefließmittel die Verl{\"a}ngerung der dormanten Periode beg{\"u}nstigt. 7. Durch die konduktometrischen Untersuchungen konnte gezeigt werden, dass alle St{\"a}rkefließmittel die Dauer des freien- und diffusionskontrollierten CSH-Phasenwachstums verlangsamen. Insbesondere die Ausf{\"a}llung des Portlandits, welches mit dem Erstarrungsbeginn korreliert, erfolgt zu deutlich sp{\"a}teren Zeitpunkten. Des Weiteren korrelierten die konduktometrischen Untersuchungen mit der zeitlichen Entwicklung der Calciumkonzentration der Porenl{\"o}sungen. Der Vergleich der St{\"a}rkefließmittel untereinander zeigte, dass die Molekularmasse ein Schl{\"u}sselparameter ist. Das St{\"a}rkefließmittel M-1 mit der geringsten Molekularmasse, welches geringe Mengen kurzkettiger Anhydroglucoseeinheiten aufweist, verz{\"o}gert die Hydratphasenbildung am st{\"a}rksten. Diese Wirkung ist vergleichbar mit der von Zuckern. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus deuteten die Ergebnisse daraufhin, dass die St{\"a}rkefließmittel auf den ersten Hydratationsprodukten adsorbieren, wodurch die Hydratphasenbildung verlangsamt wird. Die kalorimetrischen und konduktometrischen Daten sowie die Ergebnisse der Porenl{\"o}sungsanalytik des Zementes, erforderten eine genauere Betrachtung der Beeinflussung der Hydratation der Klinkerphasen C3A und C3S, durch die St{\"a}rkefließmittel. Demzufolge wurden die Untersuchungen mit den Klinkerphasen C3A und C3S in Analogie zum Portlandzement durchgef{\"u}hrt. Beurteilung der Beeinflussung der Hydratation und der Porenl{\"o}sung des C3A W{\"a}hrend die kalorimetrischen Untersuchungen zur C3A-Hydratation eine Tendenz zur verlangsamten Hydratphasenbildung durch die St{\"a}rkefließmittel aufzeigten, lieferten die konduktometrischen Ergebnisse grundlegende Erkenntnisse zur Beeinflussung der C3A-Hydratation. Das Stadium I der C3A-Hydratation ist durch einen Abfall der elektrischen Leitf{\"a}higkeit gepr{\"a}gt. Dies korreliert mit dem Absinken der Calciumionenkonzentration und dem Anstieg der Aluminiumionenkonzentration in der Porenl{\"o}sung der C3A-Suspensionen. Im Anschluss an das Stadium I bildet sich ein Plateau in den elektrischen Leitf{\"a}higkeitskurven aus. 8. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die St{\"a}rkefließmittel das Stadium I der C3A-Hydratation, d.h. die Aufl{\"o}sung und Bildung erster Calciumaluminathydrate verlangsamen. Insbesondere die St{\"a}rkefließmittel mit h{\"o}herer Molekularmasse erh{\"o}hten die Dauer des Stadium I. Das Stadium II wird durch die St{\"a}rkefließmittel in folgender Reihenfolge am st{\"a}rksten verl{\"a}ngert: M-1 > W-3 > K-1 > W-2 ≥ W-4 und verdeutlicht, dass keine Abh{\"a}ngigkeit von der anionischen Ladungsmenge identifiziert werden konnte. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass speziell die kurzkettige St{\"a}rke M-1, das Stadium II l{\"a}nger aufrechterhalten. 9. Das Stadium III und IV der C3A-Hydratation wird insbesondere durch die St{\"a}rkefließmittel mit h{\"o}herer Molekularmasse verl{\"a}ngert. Die Ergebnisse der Porenl{\"o}sungsanalytik korrelieren mit den Ergebnissen der elektrischen Leitf{\"a}higkeit. Speziell die zeitlichen Verl{\"a}ufe der Calciumionenkonzentration bildeten die Verl{\"a}ufe der Konduktivit{\"a}tskurven der C3A-Hydratation mit großer {\"U}bereinstimmung ab. Beurteilung der Beeinflussung der Hydratation und der Porenl{\"o}sung des C3S Die Ergebnisse der kalorimetrischen Untersuchungen zur Beeinflussung der C3S-Hydratation durch die St{\"a}rkefließmittel zeigen, dass diese maßgeblich verlangsamt wird. Das Maximum des Haupthydratationspeaks wird zu sp{\"a}teren Zeiten verschoben und auch die H{\"o}he des Maximums wird deutlich verringert. Durch die konduktometrischen Experimente wurde aufgekl{\"a}rt, welche Stadien der C3S-Hydrataion beeinflusst wurden. 10. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass sowohl die Menge der eingebrachten anionischen Ladungen als auch das Vorhandensein sehr kleiner St{\"a}rkefließmittelmolek{\"u}le (Zucker), Schl{\"u}sselparameter der verz{\"o}gerten Hydratationskinetik des C3S sind. Der grundlegende Mechanismus der Hydratationsverz{\"o}gerung beruht auf einer Kombination aus verminderter CSH-Keimbildung und Adsorptionsprozessen auf den ersten gebildeten CSH-Phasen der C3S-Partikel. Beurteilung des Adsorptionsverhaltens am Zement, C3A und C3S Die Bestimmung des Adsorptionsverhaltens der St{\"a}rkefließmittel erfolgte mit der Phenol-Schwefels{\"a}ure-Methode an Zement,- C3A- und C3S-Suspensionen. Durch den Vergleich der Adsorptionsraten und Adsorptionsmengen in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit von den molekularen Parametern der St{\"a}rkefließmittel wurde ein Wechselwirkungsmodell identifiziert. 11. Die Ursache f{\"u}r die hohe Dispergierleistung der St{\"a}rkefließmittel liegt in Adsorptionsprozessen an den ersten gebildeten Hydratphasen des Zementes begr{\"u}ndet. Die Molekularmasse der St{\"a}rkefließmittel ist ein Schl{\"u}sselparameter der entscheidend f{\"u}r den Mechanismus der Adsorption ist. W{\"a}hrend anionische, langkettige St{\"a}rken an mehreren Zementpartikeln gleichzeitig adsorbieren und f{\"u}r eine Vernetzung der Zementpartikel untereinander sorgen (Verdickerwirkung), adsorbieren kurzkettige anionische St{\"a}rken lediglich an den ersten gebildeten Hydratphasen der einzelnen Zementpartikel und f{\"u}hren zu elektrostatischer Abstoßung (Fließmittelwirkung). 12. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die St{\"a}rkefließmittel mit geringerem Molekulargewicht bei h{\"o}heren Konzentrationen an den Hydratphasen des Zementes adsorbieren. Die St{\"a}rkefließmittel mit h{\"o}herer Molekularmasse erreichen bei einer Zugabemenge von 0,7 \% ein Plateau. Daraus wird geschlussfolgert, dass die gr{\"o}ßeren Fließmittelmolek{\"u}le einen erh{\"o}hten Platzbedarf erfordern und zur Abs{\"a}ttigung der hydratisierenden Oberfl{\"a}chen bei geringeren Zugabemengen f{\"u}hren. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus konnte gezeigt werden, dass die St{\"a}rkefließmittel mit h{\"o}herer anionischer Ladungsmenge zu h{\"o}heren Adsorptionsmengen auf den Zement-, C3A- und C3S-Partikeln f{\"u}hren. 13. Die Adsorptionsprozesse finden an den ersten gebildeten Hydratphasen der C3A-Partikel statt, wodurch sowohl die Aufl{\"o}sung des C3A als auch die Bildung der Calciumhydroaluminate verlangsamt wird. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus wurde festgestellt, dass die Verlangsamung des freien- und diffusionskontrollierten Hydratphasenwachstums des C3S, durch die Adsorption der St{\"a}rkefließmittel auf den ersten gebildeten CSH-Phasen hervorgerufen wird. Des Weiteren wurde festgestellt, dass sehr kleine zucker{\"a}hnliche Molek{\"u}le in der kurzkettigen Maniokst{\"a}rke in der Lage sind, die Bildung der ersten CSH-Keime zu unterdr{\"u}cken. Dadurch kann die langanhaltende Plateauphase der elektrischen Leitf{\"a}higkeit der C3S-Hydratation erkl{\"a}rt werden. Beurteilung der Porenstruktur- und Festigkeitsausbildung Die Beurteilung der Qualit{\"a}t der Mikrostruktur erfolgte durch die Bestimmung der Rohdichte und der Porenradienverteilung mit Hilfe der Quecksilberhochdruckporosimetrie. Durch das Versetzen der Zementleime mit den St{\"a}rkefließmitteln konnten bei gleichbleibender Verarbeitbarkeit Zementsteinprobek{\"o}rper mit einem um 17,5 \% geringeren w/z-Wert von 0,35 hergestellt werden. Die Absenkung des w/z-Wertes f{\"u}hrt zu einem Anstieg der Rohdichte des Zementsteins. 14. Durch die Zugabe der St{\"a}rkefließmittel und den verringerten w/z-Wert wird die Porenstruktur der Zementsteinproben im Vergleich zum Referenzzementstein verfeinert, da die Gesamtporosit{\"a}t sinkt. Insbesondere der Kapillarporenanteil wird verringert und der Gelporenanteil erh{\"o}ht. Im Unterschied zu den PCE-Fließmitteln f{\"u}hrt die Zugabe der St{\"a}rkefließmittel zu keinem erh{\"o}hten Eintrag von Luftporen. Dies wiederum hat zur Folge, dass bei der Verwendung der St{\"a}rkefließmittel auf Entsch{\"a}umer verzichtet werden kann. 15. Entsprechend der dichteren Zementsteinmatrix wurden f{\"u}r die Zementsteine mit den St{\"a}rkefließmitteln nach 7 d und 28 d, erh{\"o}hte Biegezug- und Druckfestigkeiten ermittelt. Insbesondere die 28 d Druckfestigkeit wurde durch den verringerten w/z-Wert um die Faktoren 3,5 - 6,6 erh{\"o}ht.}, subject = {Bauchemie}, language = {de} } @misc{PachecoAlvim, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Pacheco Alvim, Sarah}, title = {Falsa Seringueira: Rubber Trees and the Materiality of the Unseen}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4846}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20230105-48467}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {128}, abstract = {The theme of this project is the colonial history of the natural rubber industry.

The current security crisis in Mexico, triggered in 2006 by the so-called war on drugs, has reached its peak with the highest insecurity rates in decades, representing a unique chance to study these interactions. Although the leading term of this research, Urban Agoraphobia, implies a causal dichotomy between the rise in the sense of fear amongst citizens and housing confinement as lineal consequence, I acknowledge that GCs represent a complex phenomenon, a hub of diverse factors and multidimensional processes held on four fundamental levels: global, social, individual and state-related. The focus of this dissertation is set on the individual plane and contributes, from the analysis of the GC's resident's perspective, experiences and perceptions, to a debate that has usually been limited to the scrutiny of other drivers, disregarding the role of dweller's underlying fears, motivations and concerns. Assuming that the current ruling security model in Mexico tends to empower its commodification rather than its collective quality, this research draws upon the use of a methodological triangulation, along conceptual and contextual analyses, to test the hypothesis that insecurity plays an increasingly major role, leading citizens into the belief that acquiring a household in a controlled and surveilled community represents a counterweight against the feared environment of the open city. The focus of the analysis lies on the internal hatch of community ties as potential palliative for the provision of a sense of security, aiming to transcend the unidimensional discourse of GCs as defined mainly by their defensive apparatus. Residents' perspectives acquired through ethnographical analyses may provide the chance to gain an essential view into a phenomenon that further consolidates without a critical study of its actual implications, not only for Mexican cities, but also for the Latin American and global contexts.}, subject = {Agoraphobie}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Nouri, author = {Nouri, Hamidreza}, title = {Mechanical Behavior of two dimensional sheets and polymer compounds based on molecular dynamics and continuum mechanics approach}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4670}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220713-46700}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {152}, abstract = {Compactly, this thesis encompasses two major parts to examine mechanical responses of polymer compounds and two dimensional materials: 1- Molecular dynamics approach is investigated to study transverse impact behavior of polymers, polymer compounds and two dimensional materials. 2- Large deflection of circular and rectangular membranes is examined by employing continuum mechanics approach. Two dimensional materials (2D), including, Graphene and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), exhibited new and promising physical and chemical properties, opening new opportunities to be utilized alone or to enhance the performance of conventional materials. These 2D materials have attracted tremendous attention owing to their outstanding physical properties, especially concerning transverse impact loading. Polymers, with the backbone of carbon (organic polymers) or do not include carbon atoms in the backbone (inorganic polymers) like polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), have extraordinary characteristics particularly their flexibility leads to various easy ways of forming and casting. These simple shape processing label polymers as an excellent material often used as a matrix in composites (polymer compounds). In this PhD work, Classical Molecular Dynamics (MD) is implemented to calculate transverse impact loading of 2D materials as well as polymer compounds reinforced with graphene sheets. In particular, MD was adopted to investigate perforation of the target and impact resistance force . By employing MD approach, the minimum velocity of the projectile that could create perforation and passes through the target is obtained. The largest investigation was focused on how graphene could enhance the impact properties of the compound. Also the purpose of this work was to discover the effect of the atomic arrangement of 2D materials on the impact problem. To this aim, the impact properties of two different 2D materials, graphene and MoS2, are studied. The simulation of chemical functionalization was carried out systematically, either with covalently bonded molecules or with non-bonded ones, focusing the following efforts on the covalently bounded species, revealed as the most efficient linkers. To study transverse impact behavior by using classical MD approach , Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) software, that is well-known among most researchers, is employed. The simulation is done through predefined commands in LAMMPS. Generally these commands (atom style, pair style, angle style, dihedral style, improper style, kspace style, read data, fix, run, compute and so on) are used to simulate and run the model for the desired outputs. Depends on the particles and model types, suitable inter-atomic potentials (force fields) are considered. The ensembles, constraints and boundary conditions are applied depends upon the problem definition. To do so, atomic creation is needed. Python codes are developed to generate particles which explain atomic arrangement of each model. Each atomic arrangement introduced separately to LAMMPS for simulation. After applying constraints and boundary conditions, LAMMPS also include integrators like velocity-Verlet integrator or Brownian dynamics or other types of integrator to run the simulation and finally the outputs are emerged. The outputs are inspected carefully to appreciate the natural behavior of the problem. Appreciation of natural properties of the materials assist us to design new applicable materials. In investigation on the large deflection of circular and rectangular membranes, which is related to the second part of this thesis, continuum mechanics approach is implemented. Nonlinear F{\"o}ppl membrane theory, which carefully release nonlinear governing equations of motion, is considered to establish the non-linear partial differential equilibrium equations of the membranes under distributed and centric point loads. The Galerkin and energy methods are utilized to solve non-linear partial differential equilibrium equations of circular and rectangular plates respectively.

Nevertheless, the durability of such concretes must be sufficient to guarantee a satisfactory service life of structures. Salt frost scaling resistance is a critical factor in this regard, as it is often diminished at increased clinker substitution rates. Furthermore, only insufficient long-term experience for such concretes exists. A high salt frost scaling resistance thus cannot be achieved by applying only descriptive criteria, such as the concrete composition. It is therefore to be expected, that in the long term a performance based service life prediction will replace the descriptive concept. To achieve the important goal of clinker reduction for concretes also in cold and temperate climates it is important to understand the underlying mechanisms for salt frost scaling. However, conflicting damage theories dominate the current State of the Art. It was consequently derived as the goal of this thesis to evaluate existing damage theories and to examine them experimentally. It was found that only two theories have the potential to describe the salt frost attack satisfactorily - the glue spall theory and the cryogenic suction theory. The glue spall theory attributes the surface scaling to the interaction of an external ice layer with the concrete surface. Only when moderate amounts of deicing salt are present in the test solution the resulting mechanical properties of the ice can cause scaling. However, the results in this thesis indicate that severe scaling also occurs at deicing salt levels, at which the ice is much too soft to damage concrete. Thus, the inability of the glue spall theory to account for all aspects of salt frost scaling was shown. The cryogenic suction theory is based on the eutectic behavior of salt solutions, which consist of two phases - water ice and liquid brine - between the freezing point and the eutectic temperature. The liquid brine acts as an additional moisture reservoir, which facilitates the growth of ice lenses in the surface layer of the concrete. The experiments in this thesis confirmed, that the ice formation in hardened cement paste increases due to the suction of brine at sub-zero temperatures. The extent of additional ice formation was influenced mainly by the porosity and by the chloride binding capacity of the hardened cement paste. Consequently, the cryogenic suction theory plausibly describes the actual generation of scaling, but it has to be expanded by some crucial aspects to represent the salt frost scaling attack completely. The most important aspect is the intensive saturation process, which is ascribed to the so-called micro ice lens pump. Therefore a combined damage theory was proposed, which considers multiple saturation processes. Important aspects of this combined theory were confirmed experimentally. As a result, the combined damage theory constitutes a good basis to understand the salt frost scaling attack on concrete on a fundamental level. Furthermore, a new approach was identified, to account for the reduced salt frost scaling resistance of concretes with reduced clinker content.}, subject = {Beton}, language = {en} } @article{MoscosoKraus, author = {Moscoso, Caridad and Kraus, Matthias}, title = {On the Verification of Beams Subjected to Lateral Torsional Buckling by Simplified Plastic Structural Analysis}, series = {ce/papers}, volume = {2022}, journal = {ce/papers}, number = {Volume 5, Issue 4}, publisher = {Ernst \& Sohn}, address = {Berlin}, doi = {10.1002/cepa.1835}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20230124-48782}, pages = {914 -- 923}, abstract = {Plastic structural analysis may be applied without any difficulty and with little effort for structural member verifications with regard to lateral torsional buckling of doubly symmetric rolled I sections.

The initial literature review revealed that AI/ML are perceived as a new design material that calls for a new design paradigm. Additional research based on qualitative case study research was conducted to gain an overview of the relevant issues and challenges. From this, 17 themes emerged, which together with explorative expert interviews and a structured literature review, were further analyzed to produce the relevant HCD, UX and HCI themes. It became clear that designers need new processes, methods, and tools in the age of AI/ML in combination with not only design, but also data science and business expertise, which is why the proposed solution in this PhD features process modules for design, data science and business collaboration. There are seven process modules and their related activities and dependencies that serve as guidelines for practitioners who want to design intelligence.

Pores can be distributed within the solid matrix of porous materials with different shapes and sizes. In addition, porous materials are lightweight, and flexible, and have higher resistance to crack propagation and specific thermal, mechanical, and magnetic properties. These properties are necessary for manufacturing engineering structures such as beams and other engineering structures. These materials are widely used in solid mechanics and are considered a good replacement for classical materials by many researchers recently. Producing lightweight materials has been developed because of the possibility of exploiting the properties of these materials. Various types of porous material are generated naturally or artificially for a specific application such as bones and foams. Like functionally graded materials, pore distribution patterns can be uniform or non-uniform. Biot's theory is a well-developed theory to study the behavior of poroelastic materials which investigates the interaction between fluid and solid phases of a fluid-saturated porous medium. Functionally graded porous materials (FGPM) are widely used in modern industries, such as aerospace, automotive, and biomechanics. These advanced materials have some specific properties compared to materials with a classic structure. They are extremely light, while they have specific strength in mechanical and high-temperature environments. FGPMs are characterized by a gradual variation of material parameters over the volume. Although these materials can be made naturally, it is possible to design and manufacture them for a specific application. Therefore, many studies have been done to analyze the mechanical and thermal properties of FGPM structures, especially beams. Biot was the pioneer in formulating the linear elasticity and thermoelasticity equations of porous material. Since then, Biot's formulation has been developed in continuum mechanics which is named poroelasticity. There are obstacles to analyzing the behavior of these materials accurately like the shape of the pores, the distribution of pores in the material, and the behavior of the fluid (or gas) that saturated pores. Indeed, most of the engineering structures made of FGPM have nonlinear governing equations. Therefore, it is difficult to study engineering structures by solving these complicated equations. The main purpose of this dissertation is to analyze porous materials in engineering structures. For this purpose, the complex equations of porous materials have been simplified and applied to engineering problems so that the effect of all parameters of porous materials on the behavior of engineering structure has been investigated. The effect of important parameters of porous materials on beam behavior including pores compressibility, porosity distribution, thermal expansion of fluid within pores, the interaction of stresses between pores and material matrix due to temperature increase, effects of pore size, material thickness, and saturated pores with fluid and unsaturated conditions are investigated. Two methods, the deep energy method, and the exact solution have been used to reduce the problem hypotheses, increase accuracy, increase processing speed, and apply these in engineering structures. In both methods, they are analyzed nonlinear and complex equations of porous materials. To increase the accuracy of analysis and study of the effect of shear forces, Timoshenko and Reddy's beam theories have been used. Also, neural networks such as residual and fully connected networks are designed to have high accuracy and less processing time than other computational methods.}, subject = {Por{\"o}ser Stoff}, language = {en} } @misc{Miller, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Miller, Martin}, title = {BIM-basierte Digitalisierung von Bestandsgeb{\"a}uden aus Sicht des FM am Beispiel von Heizungsanlagen}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4661}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220623-46616}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {101}, abstract = {Das Ziel der Arbeit ist, f{\"u}r das Facility Management relevante Informationen f{\"u}r die mit Building Information Modeling basierende Erstellung von Bestandsgeb{\"a}uden am Beispiel einer Hei- zungsanlage zu definieren.

For all reactor types, the influence of irradiation power on its reaction rate and energetic efficiency was investigated. Flat cell and batch reactor showed almost similar substance specific degradation behavior. Within the immersion rotary body reactor, benzotriazole and methylbenzotriazole showed a significantly lower degradation affinity. The flat cell reactor achieved the highest mean degradation rate, with half time values ranging from 5 to 64 min with a mean of 18 min, due to its high catalysts surface to hydraulic volume ratio. The EE/O values were calculated for all micro-pollutants as well as the mean degradation rate constant of each experimental step. The lowest substance specific energy per order (EE/O) values of 5 kWh/m3 were measured for benzotriazole within the batch reactor.

The concept of informal urbanisation was employed to refer to the process of developing shacks and precarious single-family housing areas that were not planned by the public powers and were considered to be substandard because of their below-average materials and social characteristics. Our main hypothesis was that despite being a phenomenon with ancient roots, informal urbanisation emerged as a public problem and was subsequently prohibited in connection with another historical process occurred: the birth of contemporary urban planning. Therefore, its transformation into a deviant and illegal urban growth mechanism would have been a pan-European process occurring at the same pace that urban planning developed during the first decades of the 20th century. Analysing the 20th-century history of informal urbanisation in Europe was an ambitious task that required using a large number of sources. To contend with this issue, this thesis combined two main methods: historiographical research about informal urbanisation in Europe and archival research of two case studies, Madrid and Paris, to make the account more precise by analysing primary sources of the subject. Our research of these informal areas, which were produced mainly through poor private allotments and housing developed on land squats, revealed two key moments of explosive growth across Europe: the 1920s and 1960s. The near disappearance of informal urbanisation throughout the continent seemed to be a consequence not of the historical development of urban planning—which was commonly transgressed and bypassed—but of the exacerbation of global economic inequalities, permitting the development of a geography of privilege in Europe. Concerning the cases of Paris and Madrid, the origins of informal urbanisation—that is, the moment the issue started to be problematised—seemed to occur in the second half of the 19th century, when a number of hygienic norms and surveillance devices began to control housing characteristics. From that moment onwards, informal urbanisation areas formed peripheral belts in both cities. This growth became the object of an illegalisation process of which we have identified three phases: (i) the unregulated development of the phenomenon during the second half of the 20th century, (ii) the institutional production of "exception regulations" to permit a controlled development of substandard housing in the peripheral fringes of both cities, and (iii) the synchronic prohibition of informal urbanisation in the 1920s and its illegal reproduction.}, subject = {Stadtplanung}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Malik, author = {Malik, Irfan}, title = {An adaptive contact formulation for Isogeometric Finite Element Analysis}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4612}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220324-46129}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {124}, abstract = {Numerical simulation of physical phenomena, like electro-magnetics, structural and fluid mechanics is essential for the cost- and time-efficient development of mechanical products at high quality. It allows to investigate the behavior of a product or a system far before the first prototype of a product is manufactured. This thesis addresses the simulation of contact mechanics. Mechanical contacts appear in nearly every product of mechanical engineering. Gearboxes, roller bearings, valves and pumps are only some examples. Simulating these systems not only for the maximal/minimal stresses and strains but for the stress-distribution in case of tribo-contacts is a challenging task from a numerical point of view. Classical procedures like the Finite Element Method suffer from the nonsmooth representation of contact surfaces with discrete Lagrange elements. On the one hand, an error due to the approximate description of the surface is introduced. On the other hand it is difficult to attain a robust contact search because surface normals can not be described in a unique form at element edges. This thesis introduces therefore a novel approach, the adaptive isogeometric contact formulation based on polynomial Splines over hierarchical T-meshes (PHT-Splines), for the approximate solution of the non-linear contact problem. It provides a more accurate, robust and efficient solution compared to conventional methods. During the development of this method the focus was laid on the solution of static contact problems without friction in 2D and 3D in which the structures undergo small deformations. The mathematical description of the problem entails a system of partial differential equations and boundary conditions which model the linear elastic behaviour of continua. Additionally, it comprises side conditions, the Karush-Kuhn-Tuckerconditions, to prevent the contacting structures from non-physical penetration. The mathematical model must be transformed into its integral form for approximation of the solution. Employing a penalty method, contact constraints are incorporated by adding the resulting equations in weak form to the overall set of equations. For an efficient space discretization of the bulk and especially the contact boundary of the structures, the principle of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) is applied. Isogeometric Finite Element Methods provide several advantages over conventional Finite Element discretization. Surface approximation with Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) allow a robust numerical solution of the contact problem with high accuracy in terms of an exact geometry description including the surface smoothness. The numerical evaluation of the contact integral is challenging due to generally non-conforming meshes of the contacting structures. In this work the highly accurate Mortar Method is applied in the isogeometric setting for the evaluation of contact contributions. This leads to an algebraic system of equations that is linearized and solved in sequential steps. This procedure is known as the Newton Raphson Method. Based on numerical examples, the advantages of the isogeometric approach with classical refinement strategies, like the p- and h-refinement, are shown and the influence of relevant algorithmic parameters on the approximate solution of the contact problem is verified. One drawback of the Spline approximations of stresses though is that they lack accuracy at the contact edge where the structures change their boundary from contact to no contact and where the solution features a kink. The approximation with smooth Spline functions yields numerical artefacts in the form of non-physical oscillations. This property of the numerical solution is not only a drawback for the simulation of e.g. tribological contacts, it also influences the convergence properties of iterative solution procedures negatively. Hence, the NURBS discretized geometries are transformed to Polynomial Splines over Hierarchical T-meshes (PHT-Splines), for the local refinement along contact edges to reduce the artefact of pressure oscillations. NURBS have a tensor product structure which does not allow to refine only certain parts of the geometrical domain while leaving other parts unchanged. Due to the B{\´e}zier Extraction, lying behind the transformation from NURBS to PHT-Splines, the connected mesh structure is broken up into separate elements. This allows an efficient local refinement along the contact edge. Before single elements are refined in a hierarchical form with cross-insertion, existing basis functions must be modified or eliminated. This process of truncation assures local and global linear independence of the refined basis which is needed for a unique approximate solution. The contact boundary is a priori unknown. Local refinement along the contact edge, especially for 3D problems, is for this reason not straight forward. In this work the use of an a posteriori error estimation procedure, the Super Convergent Recovery Solution Based Error Estimation Scheme, together with the D{\"o}rfler Marking Method is suggested for the spatial search of the contact edge. Numerical examples show that the developed method improves the quality of solutions along the contact edge significantly compared to NURBS based approximate solutions. Also, the error in maximum contact pressures, which correlates with the pressure artefacts, is minimized by the adaptive local refinement. In a final step the practicability of the developed solution algorithm is verified by an industrial application: The highly loaded mechanical contact between roller and cam in the drive train of a high-pressure fuel pump is considered.}, subject = {Isogeometrische Analyse}, language = {en} } @article{MaiwaldSchwarzKaufmannetal., author = {Maiwald, Holger and Schwarz, Jochen and Kaufmann, Christian and Langhammer, Tobias and Golz, Sebastian and Wehner, Theresa}, title = {Innovative Vulnerability and Risk Assessment of Urban Areas against Flood Events: Prognosis of Structural Damage with a New Approach Considering Flow Velocity}, series = {Water}, volume = {2022}, journal = {Water}, number = {Volume 14, issue 18, article 2793}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, doi = {10.3390/w14182793}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20221012-47254}, pages = {1 -- 28}, abstract = {The floods in 2002 and 2013, as well as the recent flood of 2021, caused billions Euros worth of property damage in Germany.

To this end, it is required to provide the FEM software with a geometric model that is typically constructed in a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. However, FEM and CAD use different approaches for the mathematical description of the geometry. Thus, it is required to generate a mesh, which is suitable for FEM, based on the CAD model. Nonetheless, this procedure is not a trivial task and it can be time consuming. This issue becomes more significant for solving shape and topology optimization problems, which consist in evolving the geometry iteratively. Therefore, the computational cost associated to the mesh generation process is increased exponentially for this type of applications. The main goal of this work is to investigate the integration of CAD and CAE in shape and topology optimization. To this end, numerical tools that close the gap between design and analysis are presented. The specific objectives of this work are listed below: • Automatize the sensitivity analysis in an isogeometric framework for applications in shape optimization. Applications for linear elasticity are considered. • A methodology is developed for providing a direct link between the CAD model and the analysis mesh. In consequence, the sensitivity analysis can be performed in terms of the design variables located in the design model. • The last objective is to develop an isogeometric method for shape and topological optimization. This method should take advantage of using Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) with higher continuity as basis functions. Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) is a framework designed to integrate the design and analysis in engineering problems. The fundamental idea of IGA is to use the same basis functions for modeling the geometry, usually NURBS, for the approximation of the solution fields. The advantage of integrating design and analysis is two-fold. First, the analysis stage is more accurate since the system of PDEs is not solved using an approximated geometry, but the exact CAD model. Moreover, providing a direct link between the design and analysis discretizations makes possible the implementation of efficient sensitivity analysis methods. Second, the computational time is significantly reduced because the mesh generation process can be avoided. Sensitivity analysis is essential for solving optimization problems when gradient-based optimization algorithms are employed. Automatic differentiation can compute exact gradients, automatically by tracking the algebraic operations performed on the design variables. For the automation of the sensitivity analysis, an isogeometric framework is used. Here, the analysis mesh is obtained after carrying out successive refinements, while retaining the coarse geometry for the domain design. An automatic differentiation (AD) toolbox is used to perform the sensitivity analysis. The AD toolbox takes the code for computing the objective and constraint functions as input. Then, using a source code transformation approach, it outputs a code for computing the objective and constraint functions, and their sensitivities as well. The sensitivities obtained from the sensitivity propagation method are compared with analytical sensitivities, which are computed using a full isogeometric approach. The computational efficiency of AD is comparable to that of analytical sensitivities. However, the memory requirements are larger for AD. Therefore, AD is preferable if the memory requirements are satisfied. Automatic sensitivity analysis demonstrates its practicality since it simplifies the work of engineers and designers. Complex geometries with sharp edges and/or holes cannot easily be described with NURBS. One solution is the use of unstructured meshes. Simplex-elements (triangles and tetrahedra for two and three dimensions respectively) are particularly useful since they can automatically parameterize a wide variety of domains. In this regard, unstructured B{\´e}zier elements, commonly used in CAD, can be employed for the exact modelling of CAD boundary representations. In two dimensions, the domain enclosed by NURBS curves is parameterized with B{\´e}zier triangles. To describe exactly the boundary of a two-dimensional CAD model, the continuity of a NURBS boundary representation is reduced to C^0. Then, the control points are used to generate a triangulation such that the boundary of the domain is identical to the initial CAD boundary representation. Thus, a direct link between the design and analysis discretizations is provided and the sensitivities can be propagated to the design domain. In three dimensions, the initial CAD boundary representation is given as a collection of NURBS surfaces that enclose a volume. Using a mesh generator (Gmsh), a tetrahedral mesh is obtained. The original surface is reconstructed by modifying the location of the control points of the tetrahedral mesh using B{\´e}zier tetrahedral elements and a point inversion algorithm. This method offers the possibility of computing the sensitivity analysis using the analysis mesh. Then, the sensitivities can be propagated into the design discretization. To reuse the mesh originally generated, a moving B{\´e}zier tetrahedral mesh approach was implemented. A gradient-based optimization algorithm is employed together with a sensitivity propagation procedure for the shape optimization cases. The proposed shape optimization approaches are used to solve some standard benchmark problems in structural mechanics. The results obtained show that the proposed approach can compute accurate gradients and evolve the geometry towards optimal solutions. In three dimensions, the moving mesh approach results in faster convergence in terms of computational time and avoids remeshing at each optimization step. For considering topological changes in a CAD-based framework, an isogeometric phase-field based shape and topology optimization is developed. In this case, the diffuse interface of a phase-field variable over a design domain implicitly describes the boundaries of the geometry. The design variables are the local values of the phase-field variable. The descent direction to minimize the objective function is found by using the sensitivities of the objective function with respect to the design variables. The evolution of the phase-field is determined by solving the time dependent Allen-Cahn equation. Especially for topology optimization problems that require C^1 continuity, such as for flexoelectric structures, the isogeometric phase field method is of great advantage. NURBS can achieve the desired continuity more efficiently than the traditional employed functions. The robustness of the method is demonstrated when applied to different geometries, boundary conditions, and material configurations. The applications illustrate that compared to piezoelectricity, the electrical performance of flexoelectric microbeams is larger under bending. In contrast, the electrical power for a structure under compression becomes larger with piezoelectricity.}, subject = {CAD}, language = {en} } @article{Lutolli, author = {Lutolli, Blerim}, title = {A Review of Domed Cities and Architecture: Past, Present and Future}, series = {Future cities and environment}, volume = {2022}, journal = {Future cities and environment}, number = {Volume 8, issue 1}, publisher = {Ubiquity Press Limited}, address = {London}, doi = {10.5334/fce.154}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20221103-47335}, pages = {1 -- 9}, abstract = {The goal of architecture is changing in response to the expanding role of cities, rapid urbanization, and transformation under changing economic, environmental, social, and demographic factors. As cities increased in the early modern era, overcrowding, urbanization, and pollution conditions led reformers to consider the future shape of the cities. One of the most critical topics in contemporary architecture is the subject of the future concepts of living. In most cases, domed cities, as a future concept of living, are rarely considered, and they are used chiefly as "utopian" visions in the discourse of future ways of living. This paper highlights the reviews of domed cities to deepen the understanding of the idea in practice, like its approach in terms of architecture. The main aim of this paper is to provide a broad overview for domed cities in the face of pollution as one of the main concerns in many European cities. As a result, the significance of the reviews of the existing projects is focused on their conceptual quality. This review will pave the way for further studies in terms of future developments in the realm of domed cities. In this paper, the city of Celje, one of the most polluted cities in Slovenia, is taken as a case study for considering the concept of Dome incorporated due to the lack of accessible literature on the topic. This review's primary contribution is to allow architects to explore a broad spectrum of innovation by comparing today's achievable statuses against the possibilities generated by domed cities. As a result of this study, the concept of living under the Dome remains to be developed in theory and practice. The current challenging climatic situation will accelerate the evolution of these concepts, resulting in the formation of new typologies, which are a requirement for humanity.}, subject = {Architektur}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Liu, author = {Liu, Bokai}, title = {Stochastic multiscale modeling of polymeric nanocomposites using Data-driven techniques}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4637}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220503-46379}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {134}, abstract = {In recent years, lightweight materials, such as polymer composite materials (PNCs) have been studied and developed due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. Structures composed of these composite materials are widely used in aerospace engineering structures, automotive components, and electrical devices. The excellent and outstanding mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of Carbon nanotube (CNT) make it an ideal filler to strengthen polymer materials' comparable properties. The heat transfer of composite materials has very promising engineering applications in many fields, especially in electronic devices and energy storage equipment. It is essential in high-energy density systems since electronic components need heat dissipation functionality. Or in other words, in electronic devices the generated heat should ideally be dissipated by light and small heat sinks. Polymeric composites consist of fillers embedded in a polymer matrix, the first ones will significantly affect the overall (macroscopic) performance of the material. There are many common carbon-based fillers such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), carbon nanobuds (CNB), fullerene, and graphene. Additives inside the matrix have become a popular subject for researchers. Some extraordinary characters, such as high-performance load, lightweight design, excellent chemical resistance, easy processing, and heat transfer, make the design of polymeric nanotube composites (PNCs) flexible. Due to the reinforcing effects with different fillers on composite materials, it has a higher degree of freedom and can be designed for the structure according to specific applications' needs. As already stated, our research focus will be on SWCNT enhanced PNCs. Since experiments are timeconsuming, sometimes expensive and cannot shed light into phenomena taking place for instance at the interfaces/interphases of composites, they are often complemented through theoretical and computational analysis. While most studies are based on deterministic approaches, there is a comparatively lower number of stochastic methods accounting for uncertainties in the input parameters. In deterministic models, the output of the model is fully determined by the parameter values and the initial conditions. However, uncertainties in the input parameters such as aspect ratio, volume fraction, thermal properties of fiber and matrix need to be taken into account for reliable predictions. In this research, a stochastic multiscale method is provided to study the influence of numerous uncertain input parameters on the thermal conductivity of the composite. Therefore, a hierarchical multi-scale method based on computational homogenization is presented in to predict the macroscopic thermal conductivity based on the fine-scale structure. In order to study the inner mechanism, we use the finite element method and employ surrogate models to conduct a Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA). The SA is performed in order to quantify the influence of the conductivity of the fiber, matrix, Kapitza resistance, volume fraction and aspect ratio on the macroscopic conductivity. Therefore, we compute first-order and total-effect sensitivity indices with different surrogate models. As stochastic multiscale models are computational expensive, surrogate approaches are commonly exploited. With the emergence of high performance computing and artificial intelligence, machine learning has become a popular modeling tool for numerous applications. Machine learning (ML) is commonly used in regression and maps data through specific rules with algorithms to build input and output models. They are particularly useful for nonlinear input-output relationships when sufficient data is available. ML has also been used in the design of new materials and multiscale analysis. For instance, Artificial neural networks and integrated learning seem to be ideally for such a task. They can theoretically simulate any non-linear relationship through the connection of neurons. Mapping relationships are employed to carry out data-driven simulations of inputs and outputs in stochastic modeling. This research aims to develop a stochastic multi-scale computational models of PNCs in heat transfer. Multi-scale stochastic modeling with uncertainty analysis and machine learning methods consist of the following components: -Uncertainty Analysis. A surrogate based global sensitivity analysis is coupled with a hierarchical multi-scale method employing computational homogenization. The effect of the conductivity of the fibers and the matrix, the Kapitza resistance, volume fraction and aspect ratio on the 'macroscopic' conductivity of the composite is systematically studied. All selected surrogate models yield consistently the conclusions that the most influential input parameters are the aspect ratio followed by the volume fraction. The Kapitza Resistance has no significant effect on the thermal conductivity of the PNCs. The most accurate surrogate model in terms of the R2 value is the moving least square (MLS). -Hybrid Machine Learning Algorithms. A combination of artificial neural network (ANN) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is applied to estimate the relationship between variable input and output parameters. The ANN is used for modeling the composite while PSO improves the prediction performance through an optimized global minimum search. The thermal conductivity of the fibers and the matrix, the kapitza resistance, volume fraction and aspect ratio are selected as input parameters. The output is the macroscopic (homogenized) thermal conductivity of the composite. The results show that the PSO significantly improves the predictive ability of this hybrid intelligent algorithm, which outperforms traditional neural networks. -Stochastic Integrated Machine Learning. A stochastic integrated machine learning based multiscale approach for the prediction of the macroscopic thermal conductivity in PNCs is developed. Seven types of machine learning models are exploited in this research, namely Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Regression Tree (RT), Bagging Tree (Bag), Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) and Cubist. They are used as components of stochastic modeling to construct the relationship between the variable of the inputs' uncertainty and the macroscopic thermal conductivity of PNCs. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used for hyper-parameter tuning to find the global optimal values leading to a significant reduction in the computational cost. The advantages and disadvantages of various methods are also analyzed in terms of computing time and model complexity to finally give a recommendation for the applicability of different models.}, subject = {Polymere}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Legatiuk, author = {Legatiuk, Anastasiia}, title = {Discrete potential and function theories on a rectangular lattice and their applications}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4865}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20221220-48654}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, abstract = {The growing complexity of modern engineering problems necessitates development of advanced numerical methods. In particular, methods working directly with discrete structures, and thus, representing exactly some important properties of the solution on a lattice and not just approximating the continuous properties, become more and more popular nowadays. Among others, discrete potential theory and discrete function theory provide a variety of methods, which are discrete counterparts of the classical continuous methods for solving boundary value problems. A lot of results related to the discrete potential and function theories have been presented in recent years. However, these results are related to the discrete theories constructed on square lattices, and, thus, limiting their practical applicability and potentially leading to higher computational costs while discretising realistic domains. This thesis presents an extension of the discrete potential theory and discrete function theory to rectangular lattices. As usual in the discrete theories, construction of discrete operators is strongly influenced by a definition of discrete geometric setting. For providing consistent constructions throughout the whole thesis, a detailed discussion on the discrete geometric setting is presented in the beginning. After that, the discrete fundamental solution of the discrete Laplace operator on a rectangular lattice, which is the core of the discrete potential theory, its numerical analysis, and practical calculations are presented. By using the discrete fundamental solution of the discrete Laplace operator on a rectangular lattice, the discrete potential theory is then constructed for interior and exterior settings. Several discrete interior and exterior boundary value problems are then solved. Moreover, discrete transmission problems are introduced and several numerical examples of these problems are discussed. Finally, a discrete fundamental solution of the discrete Cauchy-Riemann operator on a rectangular lattice is constructed, and basics of the discrete function theory on a rectangular lattice are provided. This work indicates that the discrete theories provide solution methods with very good numerical properties to tackle various boundary value problems, as well as transmission problems coupling interior and exterior problems.

Characterised by a rather radical, responsive, and location-specific nature, real-world labs face constraints in the scaling of experimental knowledge. To make a significant contribution to urban transformation, the produced knowledge must go beyond the level of a building, street, or small district where real-world experiments are conducted. Thus, a conflict arises between experimental boundaries and the stimulation of broader implications. The challenges of scaling experimental knowledge have been recognised as a problem, but remain largely unexplained. Based on this, the article will discuss the applicability of the "typology of amplification processes" by Lam et al. (2020) to explore and evaluate the potential of scaling experimental knowledge from real-world labs. The application of the typology is exemplified in the case of the Bauhaus.MobilityLab. The Bauhaus.MobilityLab takes a unique approach by testing and developing cross-sectoral mobility, energy, and logistics solutions with a distinct focus on scaling knowledge and innovation. For this case study, different qualitative research techniques are combined according to "within-method triangulation" and synthesised in a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis.
