Durch die inter-polationsbasierte gekoppelte Methode kann eine globale C0 Stetigkeit erzielt werden. F{\"u}r diesen Zweck wird ein spezielle finite Element (Kopplungselement) verwendet, das die Stetigkeit der L{\"o}sung sowohl mit dem analytischen Element als auch mit den normalen CST Elementen gew{\"a}hrleistet. Die interpolationsbasierte gekoppelte Methode ist zwar f{\"u}r beliebige Knotenanzahl auf dem Interface ΓAD anwendbar, aber es konnte durch die Untersuchung von der Interpolationsmatrix und numerische Simulationen festgestellt werden, dass sie schlecht konditioniert ist. Um das Problem mit den numerischen Instabilit{\"a}ten zu bew{\"a}ltigen, wurde eine approximationsbasierte Kopplungsmethode entwickelt und untersucht. Die Stabilit{\"a}t dieser Methode wurde anschließend anhand der Untersuchung von der Gramschen Matrix des verwendeten Basissystems auf zwei Intervallen [-π,π] und [-2π,2π] beurteilt. Die Gramsche Matrix auf dem Intervall [-2π,2π] hat einen g{\"u}nstigeren Konditionszahl in der Abh{\"a}ngigkeit von der Anzahl der Kopplungsknoten auf dem Interface aufgewiesen. Um die dazu geh{\"o}rigen numerischen Instabilit{\"a}ten ausschließen zu k{\"o}nnen wird das Basissystem mit Hilfe vom Gram-Schmidtschen Orthogonalisierungsverfahren auf beiden Intervallen orthogonalisiert. Das orthogonale Basissystem l{\"a}sst sich auf dem Intervall [-2π,2π] mit expliziten Formeln schreiben. Die Methode des konsistentes Sampling, die h{\"a}ufig in der Nachrichtentechnik verwendet wird, wurde zur Realisierung von der approximationsbasierten Kopplung herangezogen. Eine Beschr{\"a}nkung dieser Methode ist es, dass die Anzahl der Sampling-Basisfunktionen muss gleich der Anzahl der Wiederherstellungsbasisfunktionen sein. Das hat dazu gef{\"u}hrt, dass das eingef{\"u}hrt Basissys-tem (mit 2 n Basisfunktionen) nur mit n Basisfunktion verwendet werden kann. Zur L{\"o}sung diese Problems wurde ein alternatives Basissystems (Variante 2) vorgestellt. F{\"u}r die Verwendung dieses Basissystems ist aber eine Transformationsmatrix M n{\"o}tig und bei der Orthogonalisierung des Basissystems auf dem Intervall [-π,π] kann die Herleitung von dieser Matrix kompliziert und aufwendig sein. Die Formfunktionen wurden anschließend f{\"u}r die beiden Varianten hergeleitet und grafisch (f{\"u}r n = 5) dargestellt und wurde gezeigt, dass diese Funktionen die Anforderungen an den Formfunktionen erf{\"u}llen und k{\"o}nnen somit f{\"u}r die FE- Approximation verwendet werden. Anhand numerischer Simulationen, die mit der Variante 1 (mit Orthogonalisierung auf dem Intervall [-2π,2π]) durchgef{\"u}hrt wurden, wurden die grundlegenden Fragen (Beispielsweise: Stetigkeit der Verformungen auf dem Interface ΓAD, Spannungen auf dem analytischen Gebiet) {\"u}ber- pr{\"u}ft.}, subject = {Mathematik}, language = {de} } @misc{Froehlich, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Fr{\"o}hlich, Jan}, title = {On systematic approaches for interpreted information transfer of inspection data from bridge models to structural analysis}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4131}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20200416-41310}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {82}, abstract = {In conjunction with the improved methods of monitoring damage and degradation processes, the interest in reliability assessment of reinforced concrete bridges is increasing in recent years. Automated imagebased inspections of the structural surface provide valuable data to extract quantitative information about deteriorations, such as crack patterns. However, the knowledge gain results from processing this information in a structural context, i.e. relating the damage artifacts to building components. This way, transformation to structural analysis is enabled. This approach sets two further requirements: availability of structural bridge information and a standardized storage for interoperability with subsequent analysis tools. Since the involved large datasets are only efficiently processed in an automated manner, the implementation of the complete workflow from damage and building data to structural analysis is targeted in this work. First, domain concepts are derived from the back-end tasks: structural analysis, damage modeling, and life-cycle assessment. The common interoperability format, the Industry Foundation Class (IFC), and processes in these domains are further assessed. The need for usercontrolled interpretation steps is identified and the developed prototype thus allows interaction at subsequent model stages. The latter has the advantage that interpretation steps can be individually separated into either a structural analysis or a damage information model or a combination of both. This approach to damage information processing from the perspective of structural analysis is then validated in different case studies.}, subject = {Br{\"u}ckenbau}, language = {en} } @misc{Freire, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Freire, Kamai}, title = {Panafricanism and African Revolution in Brazilian Music}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4353}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20210216-43536}, school = {Hochschule f{\"u}r Musik FRANZ LISZT}, pages = {163}, abstract = {This research departs from the teachings of Kwame Ture on the difference between mobilization and organization in the panafricanist struggle to analyze then the use of Music within the anti-racist and anti-colonialist struggle in Brazil.}, subject = {Saz}, language = {en} } @misc{Ansari, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Ansari, Meisam}, title = {Simulation methods for functional and microstructured composite materials}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4278}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20201103-42783}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {110}, abstract = {In this thesis, a generic model for the post-failure behavior of concrete in tension is proposed.

Smart mobility strategies, such as shared mobility and mobility stations, represent some of the solutions to promote changes in travel behavior. Despite its beneficial impacts, however, the implementation of such infrastructure is criticized for not contributing to current urban issues, as well as often disregarding knowledge about urban space and its functioning. In this context, the Smarter Together, a joint research and innovation project funded through the European Union program H2020, was implemented. The project selected three lighthouse cities to test and upscale innovative solutions: Vienna, Munich, and Lyon. This master thesis presents the main characteristics of the mobility stations systems implemented in Vienna and Munich in the scope of the project Smarter Together. Its main goal is to share what can be learned from their experiences while approaching critically the concept of smart cities. This master thesis identifies important aspects to take into account when planning, implementing, and operating mobility stations, and provides an understanding of smart cities and smart mobility that goes beyond the adoption of technology. Several methods were combined for the development of this master thesis, such as quantitative secondary data, observational studies, application of survey forms, explorative expert interviews, and literature review. This work has demonstrated that the Smarter Together has a cutting-edge scope and contributed greatly to research and innovation, by creating living laboratories to test the application of technology in the urban environment. However, from the perspective of the mobility stations assessment, many caveats were made. In short, many lessons could be learned and are presented throughout this work aiming at contributing to the improvement of the mobility stations implemented in the project areas in Munich and Vienna, as well as for inspiring other cities in Europe and worldwide.}, subject = {Intelligente Stadt}, language = {en} } @misc{Pessoa, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Pessoa, Suelen}, title = {Why do the Archives archive?

As the use of the Internet in cities becomes more intense and diverse, there is also a restructuring of urban space, which is experienced by groups in society in various ways, according to the specificity of each context. Accordingly, large Internet companies have emerged as new players in the processes of urbanization, either through partnerships with the public administration or through various services offered directly to urban residents. Once these corporations are key actors in the digitalization of urban services, their operations can affect the patterns of urban inequality and generate a series of new struggles over the production of space. Interested in analyzing this phenomena from the perspective of civil society, the present Master Thesis examined a social movement that prevented Google to settle a new startup campus in the district of Kreuzberg, in Berlin. By asking why Google was not welcome in that context, this study also sought to understand how internet, as well as its main operators, has affected everyday life in the city. Thus, besides analyzing the movement, I investigated the particularities of the urban context where it arose and the elements that distinguish the mobilization's opponent. In pursuit of an interdisciplinary approach, I analyzed and discussed the results of empirical research in dialogue with critical theories in the fields of urban studies and the Internet, with emphasis on Castells' definitions of urban social movements and network society (1983, 2009, 2015), Couldry's and Mejias' (2019) idea of data colonialism, Lef{\`e}bvre's (1991, 1996) concepts of abstract space and the right to the city, as well as Zuboff's (2019) theory of surveillance capitalism. The case at hand has exposed that Google plays a prominent role in the way the Internet has been developed and deployed in cities. From the perspective accessed, the current appropriation of Internet technologies has been detrimental to individual autonomy and has contributed to intensifying existing inequalities in the city. The alternative vision to this relies mainly on the promotion of decentralized solidarity networks.}, subject = {Soziale Bewegung}, language = {en} }
