Ziel unserer Untersuchungen ist es, für beide Linien einen solchen Fahrplan zu finden, der für die Fahrgäste möglichst viel Bequemlichkeit bietet. Die Bedarfsstruktur - die Anzahl von Personen, die die beiden Linien benutzen - setzt dabei gewisse Beschränkungen für die Taktzeiten der beiden Linien. Die verbleibenden Entscheidungsfreiheiten sollen im Sinne der Zielstellung ausgenutzt werden. Im Vortrag wird folgenden Fragen nachgegangen: - nach welchen Kriterien kann man die "Bequemlichkeit" oder die "Synchonisationsgüte" messen? - wie kann man die einzelnen "Synchronisationsmaße" berechnen ? - wie kann man die verbleibenden Entscheidungsfreiheiten nutzen, um eine möglichst gute Synchronisation zu erreichen ? Die Ergebnisse werden dann auf einige Beispiele angewandt und mit den bereitgestellten Methoden Lösungsvorschläge unterbreitet. 12 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29442 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2944 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-496 Wissenschaftlicher Artikel Donath, Dirk; Petzold, Frank Zukünftige Techniken für eine computergestützte Planungspraxis - applikative Tools für die architektonische Bestandserfassung Der Beitrag beschreibt die Entwicklung eines Softwaresystems zur strukturierten Erfassung und Verwaltung bestehender Gebäude in der Architektur. Die Erfassung erfolgt durch die Aufnahme von geometrischen Daten und Sachdaten in unterschiedlichen Abstraktionsstufen unter Einbeziehung einer vorangehenden Dekomposition. Basis für die Entwicklung eines solchen Systems ist die Analyse und Systematik der Erfassungstechniken, -abläufe und der Gegenstand der architektonischen Bestandsaufnahme. Parallel hierzu erfolgt die Bewertung und Nutzung aktueller Techniken und Werkzeuge der applikativen Informatik. Schwerpunkte der Forschungsarbeit sind die Ableitung einer allgemeinen Gebäude- und Bauteilstruktur, die Einbeziehung aktueller informationstechnischer Verfahren und Werkzeuge und die Entwicklung eines entsprechenden Experimentalsystems.

In order to make reliable prognosis about the serviceability of those structures it is of utmost importance to identify cracks as precisely as possible by non-destructive testing. A novel approach (XIGA), which combines the Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) and the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is used for the forward problem, namely the analysis of a cracked material, see [1]. Applying the NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) based approach from IGA together with the XFEM allows to describe effectively arbitrarily shaped cracks and avoids the necessity of remeshing during the crack identification problem. We want to exploit these advantages for the inverse problem of detecting existing cracks by non-destructive testing, see e.g. [2]. The quality of the reconstructed cracks however depends on two major issues, namely the quality of the measured data (measurement error) and the discretization of the crack model. The first one will be taken into account by applying regularizing methods with a posteriori stopping criteria. The second one is critical in the sense that too few degrees of freedom, i.e. the number of control points of the NURBS, do not allow for a precise description of the crack. An increased number of control points, however, increases the number of unknowns in the inverse analysis and intensifies the ill-posedness. The trade-off between accuracy and stability is aimed to be found by applying an inverse multilevel algorithm [3, 4] where the identification is started with short knot vectors which successively will be enlarged during the identification process. 9 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 04 - 06 2012, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27717 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2771 Graduiertenkolleg 1462 OPUS4-2758 Konferenzveröffentlichung Ahmad, Sofyan; Zabel, Volkmar; Könke, Carsten WAVELET-BASED INDICATORS FOR RESPONSE SURFACE MODELS IN DAMAGE IDENTIFICATION OF STRUCTURES In this paper, wavelet energy damage indicator is used in response surface methodology to identify the damage in simulated filler beam railway bridge. The approximate model is addressed to include the operational and surrounding condition in the assessment. The procedure is split into two stages, the training and detecting phase. During training phase, a so-called response surface is built from training data using polynomial regression and radial basis function approximation approaches. The response surface is used to detect the damage in structure during detection phase. The results show that the response surface model is able to detect moderate damage in one of bridge supports while the temperatures and train velocities are varied. 14 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 04 - 06 2012, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170306-27588 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2758 Institut für Strukturmechanik (ISM) OPUS4-2989 Konferenzveröffentlichung Markwardt, Klaus Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten WAVELET ANALYSIS AND FREQUENCY BAND DECOMPOSITIONS In many applications such as parameter identification of oscillating systems in civil enginee-ring, speech processing, image processing and others we are interested in the frequency con-tent of a signal locally in time. As a start wavelet analysis provides a time-scale decomposition of signals, but this wavelet transform can be connected with an appropriate time-frequency decomposition. For instance in Matlab are defined pseudo-frequencies of wavelet scales as frequency centers of the corresponding bands. This frequency bands overlap more or less which depends on the choice of the biorthogonal wavelet system. Such a definition of frequency center is possible and useful, because different frequencies predominate at different dyadic scales of a wavelet decomposition or rather at different nodes of a wavelet packet decomposition tree. The goal of this work is to offer better algorithms for characterising frequency band behaviour and for calculating frequency centers of orthogonal and biorthogonal wavelet systems. This will be done with some product formulas in frequency domain. Now the connecting procedu-res are more analytical based, better connected with wavelet theory and more assessable. This procedures doesn't need any time approximation of the wavelet and scaling functions. The method only works in the case of biorthogonal wavelet systems, where scaling functions and wavelets are defined over discrete filters. But this is the practically essential case, because it is connected with fast algorithms (FWT, Mallat Algorithm). At the end corresponding to the wavelet transform some closed formulas of pure oscillations are given. They can generally used to compare the application of different wavelets in the FWT regarding it's frequency behaviour. 22 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29895 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2989 Institut für Bauinformatik, Mathematik und Bauphysik (IBMB) OPUS4-3015 Konferenzveröffentlichung Schleinkofer, Matthias; Schäfer, T.; van Treeck, Christoph; Rank, Ernst Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten VOM LASERSCAN ZUM PLANUNGSTAUGLICHEN PRODUKTMODELL Im Bereich der Altbausanierung und der Bestandserfassung im Bauwesen ist es häufig notwendig, bestehende Pläne hinsichtlich des Bauwerkszustandes zu aktualisieren oder, wenn diese Pläne nicht (mehr) zugänglich sind, gänzlich neue Planunterlagen des Ist-Zustandes zu erstellen.

In order to obtain models, which would be able to visually simulate the construction process of two types of construction work, the research turned to the techniques of geometric modelling and virtual reality. The applications developed for this purpose are concerned with the construction of a cavity wall and a bridge. These models make it possible to view the physical evolution of the work, to follow the planned construction sequence and to visualize details of the form of every component of the works. They also support the study of the type and method of operation of the equipment necessary for these construction procedures. These models have been used to distinct advantage as educational aids in first-degree courses in Civil Engineering. Normally, three-dimensional geometric models, which are used to present architectural and engineering works, show only their final form, not allowing the observation of their physical evolution. The visual simulation of the construction process needs to be able to produce changes to the geometry of the project dynamically. In the present study, two engineering construction work models were created, from which it was possible to obtain three-dimensional models corresponding to different states of their form, simulating distinct stages in their construction. Virtual reality technology was applied to the 3D models. Virtual reality capacities allow the interactive real-time viewing of 3D building models and facilitate the process of visualizing, evaluating and communicating. 9 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-30090 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2901 Konferenzveröffentlichung Smith, Andrew Paul; Garloff, Jürgen; Werkle, Horst Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten VERIFIED SOLUTION OF FINITE ELEMENT MODELS WITH UNCERTAIN NODE LOCATIONS We consider a structural truss problem where all of the physical model parameters are uncertain: not just the material values and applied loads, but also the positions of the nodes are assumed to be inexact but bounded and are represented by intervals. Such uncertainty may typically arise from imprecision during the process of manufacturing or construction, or round-off errors. In this case the application of the finite element method results in a system of linear equations with numerous interval parameters which cannot be solved conventionally. Applying a suitable variable substitution, an iteration method for the solution of a parametric system of linear equations is firstly employed to obtain initial bounds on the node displacements. Thereafter, an interval tightening (pruning) technique is applied, firstly on the element forces and secondly on the node displacements, in order to obtain tight guaranteed enclosures for the interval solutions for the forces and displacements. 15 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-29010 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2901 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2837 Konferenzveröffentlichung De Bie, Hendrik; Sommen, Frank Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten VECTOR AND BIVECTOR FOURIER TRANSFORMS IN CLIFFORD ANALYSIS In the past, several types of Fourier transforms in Clifford analysis have been studied. In this paper, first an overview of these different transforms is given. Next, a new equation in a Clifford algebra is proposed, the solutions of which will act as kernels of a new class of generalized Fourier transforms. Two solutions of this equation are studied in more detail, namely a vector-valued solution and a bivector-valued solution, as well as the associated integral transforms. 11 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28371 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2837 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2809 Konferenzveröffentlichung Khristich, Dmitrii; Astapov, Yuri Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom VARIATIONAL POSITING AND SOLUTION OF COUPLED THERMOMECHANICAL PROBLEMS IN A REFERENCE CONFIGURATION Variational formulation of a coupled thermomechanical problem of anisotropic solids for the case of non-isothermal finite deformations in a reference configuration is shown. The formulation of the problem includes: a condition of equilibrium flow of a deformation process in the reference configuration; an equation of a coupled heat conductivity in a variational form, in which an influence of deformation characteristics of a process on the temperature field is taken into account; tensor-linear constitutive relations for a hypoelastic material; kinematic and evolutional relations; initial and boundary conditions. Based on this formulation several axisymmetric isothermal and coupled problems of finite deformations of isotropic and anisotropic bodies are solved. The solution of coupled thermomechanical problems for a hollow cylinder in case of finite deformation showed an essential influence of coupling on distribution of temperature, stresses and strains. The obtained solutions show the development of stressstrain state and temperature changing in axisymmetric bodies in the case of finite deformations. 6 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28091 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2809 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-3021 Konferenzveröffentlichung Siekierski, Wojciech Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten VARIATION OF ROTATIONAL RESTRAINT IN GRID DECK CONNECTION DUE TO CORROSION DAMAGE AND STRENGTHENING The approach to assessment of rotational restraint of stringer-to-crossbeam connection in a deck of 100-year old steel truss bridge is presented. Sensitivity of rotational restraint coefficient of the connection to corrosion damage and strengthening is analyzed. Two criteria of the assessment of the rotational restraint coefficient are applied: static and kinematic one. The former is based on bending moment distribution in the considered member, the latter one - on the member rotation at the given joint. 2D-element model of finite element method is described: webs and flanges are modeled with shell elements, while rivets in the connection - with system of beam and spring elements. The method of rivet modeling is verified by T-stub connection test results published in literature. FEM analyses proved that recorded extent of corrosion damage does not alter the initial rotational restraint of stringer-to-crossbeam connection. Strengthening of stringer midspan influences midspan bending moment and stringer end rotation in a different way. Usually restoring member load bearing capacity means strengthening its critical regions (where the highest stress levels occur). This alters flexural stiffness distribution over member length and influences rotational restraint at its connection to other members. The impact depends on criterion chosen for rotational restraint coefficient assessment. 8 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-30217 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3021 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2965 Konferenzveröffentlichung Hapurne, Tania Mariana; Nistor, S. Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten USING MODERN TECHNOLOGIES TO UPGRADE EDILITARY URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE Adopting the European laws concerning environmental protection will require sustained efforts of the authorities and communities from Romania; implementing modern solutions will become a fast and effective option for the improvement of the functioning systems, in order to prevent disasters. As a part of the urban infrastructure, the drainage networks of pluvial and residual waters are included in the plan of promoting the systems which protect the environmental quality, with the purpose of integrated and adaptive management. The paper presents a distributed control system for sewer network of Iasi town. Unsatisfactory technical state of the actual sewer system is exposed, focusing on objectives related to implementation of the control system. The proposed distributed control system of Iasi drainage network is based on the implementation of the hierarchic control theory for diagnose, sewer planning and management. There are proposed two control levels: coordinating and local execution. Configuration of the distributed control system, including data acquisition and conversion equipment, interface characteristics, local data bus, data communication network, station configuration are widely described. The project wish to be an useful instrument for the local authorities in the preventing and reducing the impact of future natural disasters over the urban areas by means of modern technologies. 6 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29650 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2965 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2984 Konferenzveröffentlichung Lehner, Karlheinz; Hartmann, Dietrich Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten USING INTERVAL ANALYSIS FOR STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING PROBLEMS Interval analysis extends the concept of computing with real numbers to computing with real intervals. As a consequence, some interesting properties appear, such as the delivery of guaranteed results or confirmed global values. The former property is given in the sense that unknown numerical values are in known to lie in a computed interval. The latter property states that the global minimum value, for example, of a given function is also known to be contained in a interval (or a finite set of intervals). Depending upon the amount computation effort invested in the calculation, we can often find tight bounds on these enclosing intervals. The downside of interval analysis, however, is the mathematically correct, but often very pessimistic size of the interval result. This is in particularly due to the so-called dependency effect, where a single variable is used multiple times in one calculation. Applying interval analysis to structural analysis problems, the dependency has a great influence on the quality of numerical results. In this paper, a brief background of interval analysis is presented and shown how it can be applied to the solution of structural analysis problems. A discussion of possible improvements as well as an outlook to parallel computing is also given. 10 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29844 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2984 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2812 Konferenzveröffentlichung Macedo, Joaquim Miguel; Benta, Agostinho; Picado-Santos, Luis Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom USE OF MICROSIMULATION IN THE ADAPTATION TO PORTUGAL OF THE HCM 2000 METHODOLOGY FOR BASIC FREEWAY SEGMENTS Portugal is one of the European countries with higher spatial and population freeway network coverage. The sharp growth of this network in the last years instigates the use of methods of analysis and the evaluation of their quality of service in terms of the traffic performance, typically performed through internationally accepted methodologies, namely that presented in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Lately, the use of microscopic traffic simulation models has been increasingly widespread. These models simulate the individual movement of the vehicles, allowing to perform traffic analysis. The main target of this study was to verify the possibility of using microsimulation as an auxiliary tool in the adaptation of the methodology by HCM 2000 to Portugal. For this purpose, were used the microscopic simulators AIMSUN and VISSIM for the simulation of the traffic circulation in the A5 Portuguese freeway. The results allowed the analysis of the influence of the main geometric and traffic factors involved in the methodology by HCM 2000. In conclusion, the study presents the main advantages and limitations of the microsimulators AIMSUN and VISSIM in modelling the traffic circulation in Portuguese freeways. The main limitation is that these microsimulators are not able to simulate explicitly some of the factors considered in the HCM 2000 methodology, which invalidates their direct use as a tool in the quantification of those effects and, consequently, makes the direct adaptation of this methodology to Portugal impracticable. 7 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28122 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2812 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2943 Konferenzveröffentlichung Dudek, Mariusz; Richter, Matthias Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten UNTERSUCHUNGEN ZUR ZUVERLÄSSIGKEIT DES STRAßENBAHNNETZES IN KRAKAU Der Begriff der Zuverlässigkeit spielt eine zentrale Rolle bei der Bewertung von Verkehrsnetzen. Aus der Sicht der Nutzer des öffentlichen Personennahverkehrs (ÖPNV) ist eines der wichtigsten Kriterien zur Beurteilung der Qualität des Liniennetzes, ob es möglich ist, mit einer großen Sicherheit das Reiseziel in einer vorgegebenen Zeit zu erreichen. Im Vortrag soll dieser Zuverlässigkeitsbegriff mathematisch gefasst werden. Dabei wird zunächst auf den üblichen Begriff der Zuverlässigkeit eines Netzes im Sinne paarweiser Zusammenhangswahrscheinlichkeiten eingegangen. Dieser Begriff wird erweitert durch die Betrachtung der Zuverlässigkeit unter Einbeziehung einer maximal zulässigen Reisezeit. In vergangenen Arbeiten hat sich die Ring-Radius-Struktur als bewährtes Modell für die theoretische Beschreibung von Verkehrsnetzen erwiesen. Diese Überlegungen sollen nun durch Einbeziehung realer Verkehrsnetzstrukturen erweitert werden. Als konkretes Beispiel dient das Straßenbahnnetz von Krakau. Hier soll insbesondere untersucht werden, welche Auswirkungen ein geplanter Ausbau des Netzes auf die Zuverlässigkeit haben wird.

This paper tries to understand, elaborate, and explain the problem of interpolating crisp and fuzzy data using continuous fuzzy valued functions. Two main issues are addressed here. The first covers how the fuzziness, induced by the reduction and deficit of information i.e. the discontinuity of the interpolated points, can be evaluated considering the used interpolation method and the density of the data. The second issue deals with the need to differentiate between impreciseness and hence fuzziness only in the interpolated quantity, impreciseness only in the location of the interpolated points and impreciseness in both the quantity and the location. In this paper, a brief background of the concept of fuzzy numbers and of fuzzy functions is presented. The numerical side of computing with fuzzy numbers is concisely demonstrated. The problem of fuzzy polynomial interpolation, the interpolation on meshes and mesh free fuzzy interpolation is investigated. The integration of the previously noted uncertainty into a coherent fuzzy valued function is discussed. Several sets of artificial and original measured data are used to examine the mentioned fuzzy interpolations. 22 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28726 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2872 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2780 Konferenzveröffentlichung Motra, Hem Bahadur; Dimmig-Osburg, Andrea; Hildebrand, Jörg Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom; Werner, Frank UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION IN CYCLIC CREEP PREDICTION OF CONCRETE This paper presents a methodology for uncertainty quantification in cyclic creep analysis. Several models- , namely BP model, Whaley and Neville model, modified MC90 for cyclic loading and modified Hyperbolic function for cyclic loading are used for uncertainty quantification. Three types of uncertainty are included in Uncertainty Quantification (UQ): (i) natural variability in loading and materials properties; (ii) data uncertainty due to measurement errors; and (iii) modelling uncertainty and errors during cyclic creep analysis. Due to the consideration of all type of uncertainties, a measure for the total variation of the model response is achieved. The study finds that the BP, modified Hyperbolic and modified MC90 are best performing models for cyclic creep prediction in that order. Further, global Sensitivity Analysis (SA) considering the uncorrelated and correlated parameters is used to quantify the contribution of each source of uncertainty to the overall prediction uncertainty and to identifying the important parameters. The error in determining the input quantities and model itself can produce significant changes in creep prediction values. The variability influence of input random quantities on the cyclic creep was studied by means of the stochastic uncertainty and sensitivity analysis namely the Gartner et al. method and Saltelli et al. method. All input imperfections were considered to be random quantities. The Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) numerical simulation method (Monte Carlo type method) was used. It has been found by the stochastic sensitivity analysis that the cyclic creep deformation variability is most sensitive to the Elastic modulus of concrete, compressive strength, mean stress, cyclic stress amplitude, number of cycle, in that order. 18 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 04 - 06 2012, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27803 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2780 Graduiertenkolleg 1462 OPUS4-3040 Konferenzveröffentlichung Zimmermann, Jürgen; Bartels, Jan-Hendrik Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten TREE-BASED METHODS FOR RESOURCE INVESTMENT AND RESOURCE LEVELLING PROBLEMS The execution of project activities generally requires the use of (renewable) resources like machines, equipment or manpower. The resource allocation problem consists in assigning time intervals to the execution of the project activities while taking into account temporal constraints between activities emanating from technological or organizational requirements and costs incurred by the resource allocation. If the total procurement cost of the different renewable resources has to be minimized we speak of a resource investment problem. If the cost depends on the smoothness of the resource utilization over time the underlying problem is called a resource levelling problem. In this paper we consider a new tree-based enumeration method for solving resource investment and resource levelling problems exploiting some fundamental properties of spanning trees. The enumeration scheme is embedded in a branch-and-bound procedure using a workload-based lower bound and a depth first search. Preliminary computational results show that the proposed procedure is promising for instances with up to 30 activities. 6 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-30405 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3040 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2856 Konferenzveröffentlichung Khan, Farhan Manzoor Ahmed; Cong, ZiXiang; Karsten, Menzel; Stack, Paul Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten TRACKING OCCUPANTS AND INVENTORY ITEMS IN BUILDINGS USING RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) TECHNOLOGY In order to make control decisions, Smart Buildings need to collect data from multiple sources and bring it to a central location, such as the Building Management System (BMS). This needs to be done in a timely and automated fashion. Besides data being gathered from different energy using elements, information of occupant behaviour is also important for a building's requirement analysis. In this paper, the parameter of Occupant Density was considered to help find behaviour of occupants towards a building space. Through this parameter, support for building energy consumption and requirements based on occupant need and demands was provided. The demonstrator presented provides information on the number of people present in a particular building space at any time, giving the space density. Such collections of density data made over a certain period of time represents occupant behaviour towards the building space, giving its usage patterns. Similarly, inventory items were tracked and monitored for moving out or being brought into a particular read zone. For both, people and inventory items, this was achieved using small, low-cost, passive Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. Occupants were given the tags in a form factor of a credit card to be possessed at all times. A central database was built where occupant and inventory information for a particular building space was maintained for monitoring and providing a central data access. 13 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28562 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2856 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2807 Konferenzveröffentlichung Kersten, Jens; Rodehorst, Volker Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom TOWARDS STEREO VISION- AND LASER SCANNER-BASED UAS POSE ESTIMATION A central issue for the autonomous navigation of mobile robots is to map unknown environments while simultaneously estimating its position within this map. This chicken-eggproblem is known as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Asctec's quadrotor Pelican is a powerful and flexible research UAS (unmanned aircraft system) which enables the development of new real-time on-board algorithms for SLAM as well as autonomous navigation. The relative UAS pose estimation for SLAM, usually based on low-cost sensors like inertial measurement units (IMU) and barometers, is known to be affected by high drift rates. In order to significantly reduce these effects, we incorporate additional independent pose estimation techniques using exteroceptive sensors. In this article we present first pose estimation results using a stereo camera setup as well as a laser range finder, individually. Even though these methods fail in few certain configurations we demonstrate their effectiveness and value for the reduction of IMU drift rates and give an outlook for further works towards SLAM. 7 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28072 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2807 Professur Angewandte Mathematik OPUS4-2775 Konferenzveröffentlichung Malonek, Helmuth Robert; Falcão, M.

After their introduction in 2006 by two of the authors of this note on the occasion of the 17th IKM, the latter have been subject of investigations by different authors with different methods and in various contexts. The former concept, introduced by R. Delanghe in 1970 and later also studied by K. Gürlebeck in 1982 for the case of quaternions, has some obvious relationship with the latter, since it describes a set of linear hypercomplex holomorphic functions all power of which are also hypercomplex holomorphic. Due to the non-commutative nature of the underlying Clifford algebra, being totally regular variables or Appell sequences are not trivial properties as it is for the integer powers of the complex variable z=x+ iy. Simple examples show also, that not every totally regular variable and its powers form an Appell sequence and vice versa. Under some very natural normalization condition the set of all para-vector valued totally regular variables which are also Appell sequences will completely be characterized. In some sense the result can also be considered as an answer to a remark of K. Habetha in chapter 16: Function theory in algebras of the collection Complex analysis.

We formulate the problem as a multi-criterial optimization problem, where the compliance is computed for each load case. Then, the Epsilon constraint method (method proposed by Chankong and Haimes, 1971) is adapted. The strategy of this method is based on the concept of minimizing the maximum compliance resulting from the critical load case while the other remaining compliances are considered in the constraints. In each iteration, the compliances of all load cases are computed and only the maximum one is minimized. The topology optimization process is switching from one load to another according to the variation of the resulting compliance. In this work we will motivate and explain the proposed methodology and provide some numerical examples. 7 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28042 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2804 Institut für Strukturmechanik (ISM) OPUS4-2911 Konferenzveröffentlichung Huhnt, Wolfgang; Gielsdorf, F.

Engineers are used to have geometric information, and, for instance, it is state of the art to specify a point by its three coordinates. However, the traditional approaches have disadvantages. Geometric information is over-determined. Thus, more geometric information is specified and stored than needed. In addition, engineers already deal with topological information. A denotation of objects in buildings is of topological nature. It has to be answered whether approaches where topological information becomes a leading role would be more efficient in civil engineering. This paper presents such an approach. Topological information is modelled independently of geometric information. It is used for denoting the objects of a building. Geometric information is associated to topological information so that geometric information "weights" a topology. The concept presented in this paper has already been used in surveying existing buildings. Experiences in the use of this concept showed that the number of geometric information that is required for a complete specification of a building could be reduced by a factor up to 100. Further research will show how this concept can be used in planning processes. 11 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29110 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2911 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-3037 Konferenzveröffentlichung Wolkowicz, Christian; Ruth, Jürgen; Stahr, Alexander Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten TOOL TO CHECK TOPOLOGY AND GEOMETRY FOR SPATIAL STRUCTURES ON BASIS OF THE EXTENDED MAXWELL'S RULE One of the simplest principle in the design of light-weight structures is to avoid bending. This can be achieved by dissolving girders into members acting purely in axial tension or compression. The employment of cables for the tensioned members leads to even lighter structures which are called cable-strut structures. They constitute a subclass of spatial structures. To give fast information about the general feasibility of an architectural concept employing cable-strut structures is a challenging task due to their sophisticated mechanical behavior. In this regard it is essential to control if the structure is stable and if pre-stress can be applied. This paper presents a tool using the spreadsheet software Microsoft (MS) Excel which can give such information. Therefore it is not necessary to purchase special software and the according time consuming training is much lower. The tool was developed on basis of the extended Maxwell's rule, which besides topology also considers the geometry of the structure. For this the rank of the node equilibrium matrix is crucial. Significance and determination of the rank and the implementation of the corresponding algorithms in MS Excel are described in the following. The presented tool is able to support the structural designer in an early stage of the project in finding a feasible architectural concept for cable-strut structures. As examples for the application of the software tool two special cable-strut structures, so called tensegrity structures, were examined for their mechanical behavior. 8 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-30370 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3037 Professur Tragwerkslehre OPUS4-2937 Konferenzveröffentlichung Chang, Wei-Tsang; Chang, Teng-Wen Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten TIME-BASED FORM TRANSFORMATION WITH FOLDING SPACE Design activity could be treated as state transition computationally. In stepwise processing, in-between form-states are not easily observed. However, in this research time-based concept is introduced and applied in order to bridge the gap. In architecture, folding is one method of form manipulation and architects also want to search for alternatives by this operation. Besides, folding operation has to be defined and parameterized before time factor is involved as a variable of folding. As a result, time-based transformation provides sequential form states and redirects design activity. 10 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29371 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2937 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2967 Konferenzveröffentlichung Heuer, Andreas Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING OF CONCRETE WITH DAMAGE AND PLASTICITY The concrete is modeled as a material with damage and plasticity, whereat the viscoplastic and the viscoelastic behaviour depends on the rate of the total strains. Due to the damage behaviour the compliance tensor develops different properties in tension and compression. There have been tested various yield surfaces and flow rules, damage rules respectively to their usability in a concrete model. One three-dimensional yield surface was developed from a failure surface based on the Willam--Warnke five-parameter model by the author. Only one general uni-axial stress-strain-relation is used for the numeric control of the yield surface. From that curve all necessary parameters for different strengths of concrete and different strain rates can be derived by affine transformations. For the flow rule in the compression zone a non associated inelastic potential is used, in the tension zone a Rankine potential. Conditional on the time-dependent formulation, the symmetry of the system equations is maintained in spite of the usage of non-associated potentials for the derivation of the inelastic strains. In case of quasi statical computations a simple viscoplastic law is used that is rested on an approach to Perzyna. The principle of equality of dissipation power in the uni-axial and the three-axial state of stress is used. It is modified by a factor that depends on the actual stress ratio and in comparison with the Kupfer experiments it implicates strains that are more realistic. The implementation of the concrete model is conducted in a mixed hybrid finite element. Examples in the structural level are introduced for verification of the concrete model. 15 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29671 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2967 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2977 Konferenzveröffentlichung Klingert, Maik Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten THE USAGE OF IMAGE PROCESSING METHODS FOR INTERPRETATION OF THERMOGRAPHY DATA For assessment of old buildings, thermal graphic analysis aided with infra-red camera have been employed in a wide range nowadays. Image processing and evaluation can be economically practicable only if the image evaluation can also be automated to the largest extend. For that reason methods of computer vision are presented in this paper to evaluate thermal images. To detect typical thermal image elements, such as thermal bridges and lintels in thermal images respectively gray value images, methods of digital image processing have been applied, of which numerical procedures are available to transform, modify and encode images. At the same time, image processing can be regarded as a multi-stage process. In order to be able to accomplish the process of image analysis from image formation through perfecting and segmentation to categorization, appropriate functions must be implemented. For this purpose, different measuring procedures and methods for automated detection and evaluation have been tested. 13 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29777 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2977 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2978 Konferenzveröffentlichung Knauer, Uwe; Dammeier, T.; Meffert, Beate Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten THE STRUCTURE OF ROAD TRAFFIC SCENES AS REVEALED BY UNSUPERVISED ANALYSIS OF THE TIME AVERAGED OPTICAL FLOW The Lucas-Kanade tracker has proven to be an efficient and accurate method for calculation of the optical flow. However, this algorithm can reliably track only suitable image features like corners and edges. Therefore, the optical flow can only be calculated for a few points in each image, resulting in sparse optical flow fields. Accumulation of these vectors over time is a suitable method to retrieve a dense motion vector field. However, the accumulation process limits application of the proposed method to fixed camera setups. Here, a histogram based approach is favored to allow more than a single typical flow vector per pixel. The resulting vector field can be used to detect roads and prescribed driving directions which constrain object movements. The motion structure can be modeled as a graph. The nodes represent entry and exit points for road users as well as crossings, while the edges represent typical paths. 9 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29780 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2978 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2801 Konferenzveröffentlichung Hommel, Angela; Gürlebeck, Klaus Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LINEAR ELASTICITY THEORY AND COMPLEX FUNCTION THEORY STUDIED ON THE BASIS OF FINITE DIFFERENCES It is well-known that the solution of the fundamental equations of linear elasticity for a homogeneous isotropic material in plane stress and strain state cases can be equivalently reduced to the solution of a biharmonic equation. The discrete version of the Theorem of Goursat is used to describe the solution of the discrete biharmonic equation by the help of two discrete holomorphic functions. In order to obtain a Taylor expansion of discrete holomorphic functions we introduce a basis of discrete polynomials which fulfill the so-called Appell property with respect to the discrete adjoint Cauchy-Riemann operator. All these steps are very important in the field of fracture mechanics, where stress and displacement fields in the neighborhood of singularities caused by cracks and notches have to be calculated with high accuracy. Using the sum representation of holomorphic functions it seems possible to reproduce the order of singularity and to determine important mechanical characteristics. 6 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28010 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2801 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2824 Konferenzveröffentlichung Vasileva, Iuliia Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom THE PROBLEM OF PARTIAL REINFORCING AN INTERFACE CRACK EDGE BY A RIGID PATCH PLATE UNDER IN-PLANE AND ANTIPLANE LOADS The stress state of a piecewise-homogeneous elastic body, which has a semi-infinite crack along the interface, under in-plane and antiplane loads is considered. One of the crack edges is reinforced by a rigid patch plate on a finite interval adjacent to the crack tip. The crack edges are loaded with specified stresses. The body is stretched at infinity by specified stresses. External forces with a given principal vector and moment act on the patch plate. The problem reduces to a Riemann-Hilbert boundary-value matrix problem with a piecewise-constant coefficient for two complex potentials in the plane case and for one in the antiplane case. The complex potentials are found explicitly using a Gaussian hypergeometric function. The stress state of the body close to the ends of the patch plate, one of which is also simultaneously the crack tip, is investigated. Stress intensity factors near the singular points are determined. 5 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28242 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2824 Professur Angewandte Mathematik OPUS4-2773 Konferenzveröffentlichung Legatiuk, Dmitrii; Bock, Sebastian; Gürlebeck, Klaus Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom; Werner, Frank THE PROBLEM OF COUPLING BETWEEN ANALYTICAL SOLUTION AND FINITE ELEMENT METHOD This paper is focused on the first numerical tests for coupling between analytical solution and finite element method on the example of one problem of fracture mechanics.

In this work, the influence of the local dimples on the function of metal chimneys was considered. Modeling tasks were completed in the software packages LIRA and ANSYS. Parameters were identified, which characterize the local dimples, and a numerical study of the influence of local dimples on the stress-strain state of shells of metal chimneys was conducted. A distribution field of circular and meridional tension was analyzed in a researched area. Zones of influence of dimples on the bearing cover of metal chimneys were investigated. The bearing capacities of high-rise structures with various dimple geometries and various cover parameters were determined with respect to specified areas of the trunk. Dependent relationships are represented graphically for the decrease in bearing capacity of a cover with respect to dimples. Diameter and thickness of covers of metal chimneys were constructed according to the resulting data. 10 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 04 - 06 2012, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27701 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2770 Graduiertenkolleg 1462 OPUS4-2814 Konferenzveröffentlichung Musial, Michal Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom THE INFLUENCE OF CRACKS AND OVERESTIMATION ERRORS ON THE DEFLECTION OF THE REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS IN THE RIGID FINITE ELEMENT METHOD This article presents the Rigid Finite Element Method in the calculation of reinforced concrete beam deflection with cracks. Initially, this method was used in the shipbuilding industry. Later, it was adapted in the homogeneous calculations of the bar structures. In this method, rigid mass discs serve as an element model. In the flat layout, three generalized coordinates (two translational and one rotational) correspond to each disc. These discs are connected by elastic ties. The genuine idea is to take into account a discrete crack in the Rigid Finite Element Method. It consists in the suitable reduction of the rigidity in rotational ties located in the spots, where cracks occurred. The susceptibility of this tie results from the flexural deformability of the element and the occurrence of the crack. As part of the numerical analyses, the influence of cracks on the total deflection of beams was determined. Furthermore, the results of the calculations were compared to the results of the experiment. Overestimations of the calculated deflections against the measured deflections were found. The article specifies the size of the overestimation and describes its causes. 6 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28142 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2814 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2846 Konferenzveröffentlichung Grob, Dennis; Constales, Denis; Kraußhar, Rolf Sören Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten THE HYPERCOMPLEX SZEGÖ KERNEL METHOD FOR 3D MAPPING PROBLEMS In this paper we present rudiments of a higher dimensional analogue of the Szegö kernel method to compute 3D mappings from elementary domains onto the unit sphere.

In Section 2, we recall briefly the Fisher decomposition and the Howe duality for harmonic analysis. In Section 3, the well-known fact that Clifford analysis is a real refinement of harmonic analysis is illustrated by the Fisher decomposition and the Howe duality for the space of spinor-valued polynomials in the Euclidean space under the so-called L-action. On the other hand, for Clifford algebra valued polynomials, we can consider another action, called in Clifford analysis the H-action. In the last section, we recall the Fisher decomposition for the H-action obtained recently. As in Clifford analysis the prominent role plays the Dirac equation in this case the basic set of equations is formed by the Hodge system. Moreover, analysis of Hodge systems can be viewed even as a refinement of Clifford analysis. In this note, we describe the Howe duality for the H-action. In particular, in Proposition 1, we recognize the Howe dual partner of the orthogonal group O(m) in this case as the Lie superalgebra sl(2 1). Furthermore, Theorem 2 gives the corresponding multiplicity free decomposition with an explicit description of irreducible pieces. 11 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28669 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2866 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2838 Konferenzveröffentlichung De Schepper, Nele; Brackx, Fred; Sommen, Frank Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten THE FOURIER-BESSEL TRANSFORM In this paper we devise a new multi-dimensional integral transform within the Clifford analysis setting, the so-called Fourier-Bessel transform.

We show that this new integral transform satisfies operational formulae which are similar to those of the classical tensorial Fourier transform. Moreover the L2-basis elements consisting of generalized Clifford-Hermite functions appear to be eigenfunctions of the Fourier-Bessel transform. 18 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28387 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2838 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2795 Konferenzveröffentlichung Volkov, Andrey; Kirschke, Heiko; Chelyshkov, Pavel; Sedov, Artem; Lysenko, Denis Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom THE CRITERIA'S SET WITH INVARIANT DESIGN BUILDING ELEMENTS ON THE BASE OF THREE IMPUTATIONS: "CONVENIENCE", "SAFETY" AND "ENERGY-EFFICIENCY" The paper deals with the formalization of the criteria for constructing building management systems.

Basically in the kernel of the complex Fourier transform the complex imaginary unit j is replaced by a square root of −1 in Cl(p,q). The Clifford Fourier transform (CFT) thus obtained generalizes previously known and applied CFTs, which replaced the complex imaginary unit j only by blades (usually pseudoscalars) squaring to −1. A major advantage of real Clifford algebra CFTs is their completely real geometric interpretation. We study (left and right) linearity of the CFT for constant multivector coefficients in Cl(p,q), translation (x-shift) and modulation (w -shift) properties, and signal dilations. We show an inversion theorem. We establish the CFT of vector differentials, partial derivatives, vector derivatives and spatial moments of the signal. We also derive Plancherel and Parseval identities as well as a general convolution theorem. 11 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 04 - 06 2012, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27652 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2765 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2761 Konferenzveröffentlichung Deeb, Maher; Zabel, Volkmar Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom; Werner, Frank THE APPLICATION OF POD CURVES TO DAMAGE DETECTION BASED ON PARTIAL MODELS- A NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY Non-destructive techniques for damage detection became the focus of engineering interests in the last few years. However, applying these techniques to large complex structures like civil engineering buildings still has some limitations since these types of structures are unique and the methodologies often need a large number of specimens for reliable results. For this reason, cost and time can greatly influence the final results. Model Assisted Probability Of Detection (MAPOD) has taken its place among the ranks of damage identification techniques, especially with advances in computer capacity and modeling tools. Nevertheless, the essential condition for a successful MAPOD is having a reliable model in advance. This condition is opening the door for model assessment and model quality problems. In this work, an approach is proposed that uses Partial Models (PM) to compute the Probability Of damage Detection (POD). A simply supported beam, that can be structurally modified and tested under laboratory conditions, is taken as an example. The study includes both experimental and numerical investigations, the application of vibration-based damage detection approaches and a comparison of the results obtained based on tests and simulations. Eventually, a proposal for a methodology to assess the reliability and the robustness of the models is given. 18 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 04 - 06 2012, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170306-27615 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2761 Graduiertenkolleg 1462 OPUS4-2839 Konferenzveröffentlichung Djordjevic, Djordje; Petkovic, Dusan; Zivkovic, Darko Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten THE APPLICATION OF INTERVAL CALCULUS TO ESTIMATION OF PLATE DEFLECTION BY SOLVING POISSON'S PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION This paper describes the application of interval calculus to calculation of plate deflection, taking in account inevitable and acceptable tolerance of input data (input parameters). The simply supported reinforced concrete plate was taken as an example. The plate was loaded by uniformly distributed loads. Several parameters that influence the plate deflection are given as certain closed intervals. Accordingly, the results are obtained as intervals so it was possible to follow the direct influence of a change of one or more input parameters on output (in our example, deflection) values by using one model and one computing procedure. The described procedure could be applied to any FEM calculation in order to keep calculation tolerances, ISO-tolerances, and production tolerances in close limits (admissible limits). The Wolfram Mathematica has been used as tool for interval calculation. 12 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28397 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2839 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2946 Konferenzveröffentlichung Ebling, Julia; Scheuermann, G. Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten TEMPLATE MATCHING ON VECTOR FIELDS USING CLIFFORD ALGEBRA Due to the amount of flow simulation and measurement data, automatic detection, classification and visualization of features is necessary for an inspection. Therefore, many automated feature detection methods have been developed in recent years. However, only one feature class is visualized afterwards in most cases, and many algorithms have problems in the presence of noise or superposition effects. In contrast, image processing and computer vision have robust methods for feature extraction and computation of derivatives of scalar fields. Furthermore, interpolation and other filter can be analyzed in detail. An application of these methods to vector fields would provide a solid theoretical basis for feature extraction. The authors suggest Clifford algebra as a mathematical framework for this task. Clifford algebra provides a unified notation for scalars and vectors as well as a multiplication of all basis elements. The Clifford product of two vectors provides the complete geometric information of the relative positions of these vectors. Integration of this product results in Clifford correlation and convolution which can be used for template matching of vector fields. For frequency analysis of vector fields and the behavior of vector-valued filters, a Clifford Fourier transform has been derived for 2D and 3D. Convolution and other theorems have been proved, and fast algorithms for the computation of the Clifford Fourier transform exist. Therefore the computation of Clifford convolution can be accelerated by computing it in Clifford Fourier domain. Clifford convolution and Fourier transform can be used for a thorough analysis and subsequent visualization of flow fields. 25 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29464 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2946 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2763 Konferenzveröffentlichung Ghorashi, Seyed Shahram; Rabczuk, Timon; Ródenas García, Juan José; Lahmer, Tom Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom; Werner, Frank T-SPLINE BASED XIGA FOR ADAPTIVE MODELING OF CRACKED BODIES Safety operation of important civil structures such as bridges can be estimated by using fracture analysis. Since the analytical methods are not capable of solving many complicated engineering problems, numerical methods have been increasingly adopted. In this paper, a part of isotropic material which contains a crack is considered as a partial model and the proposed model quality is evaluated. EXtended IsoGeometric Analysis (XIGA) is a new developed numerical approach [1, 2] which benefits from advantages of its origins: eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) and IsoGeometric Analysis (IGA). It is capable of simulating crack propagation problems with no remeshing necessity and capturing singular field at the crack tip by using the crack tip enrichment functions. Also, exact representation of geometry is possible using only few elements. XIGA has also been successfully applied for fracture analysis of cracked orthotropic bodies [3] and for simulation of curved cracks [4]. XIGA applies NURBS functions for both geometry description and solution field approximation. The drawback of NURBS functions is that local refinement cannot be defined regarding that it is based on tensorproduct constructs unless multiple patches are used which has also some limitations. In this contribution, the XIGA is further developed to make the local refinement feasible by using Tspline basis functions. Adopting a recovery based error estimator in the proposed approach for evaluation of the model quality and performing the adaptive processes is in progress. Finally, some numerical examples with available analytical solutions are investigated by the developed scheme. 13 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 04 - 06 2012, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27637 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2763 Graduiertenkolleg 1462 OPUS4-2774 Konferenzveröffentlichung Liu, Xiangqin; Leimbach, Robert; Hartmann, Dietrich Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom; Werner, Frank SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION OF A WIND TURBINE STRUCTURE USING ROBUST MODEL UPDATING STRATEGY This paper presents a robust model updating strategy for system identification of wind turbines. To control the updating parameters and to avoid ill-conditioning, the global sensitivity analysis using the elementary effects method is conducted. The formulation of the objective function is based on M¨uller-Slany's strategy for multi-criteria functions. As a simulationbased optimization, a simulation adapter is developed to interface the simulation software ANSYS and the locally developed optimization software MOPACK. Model updating is firstly tested on the beam model of the rotor blade. The defect between the numerical model and the reference has been markedly reduced by the process of model updating. The effect of model updating becomes more pronounced in the comparison of the measured and the numerical properties of the wind turbine model. The deviations of the frequencies of the updated model are rather small. The complete comparison including the free vibration modes by the modal assurance criteria shows the excellent coincidence of the modal parameters of the updated model with the ones from the measurements. By successful implementation of the model validation via model updating, the applicability and effectiveness of the solution concept has been demonstrated. 11 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 04 - 06 2012, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27744 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2774 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2777 Konferenzveröffentlichung Miro, Shorash; Hartmann, Dietrich; Schanz, Tom; Zarev, Veselin Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom; Werner, Frank SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION METHODS FOR GROUND MODELS IN MECHANIZED TUNNELING Due to the complex interactions between the ground, the driving machine, the lining tube and the built environment, the accurate assignment of in-situ system parameters for numerical simulation in mechanized tunneling is always subject to tremendous difficulties. However, the more accurate these parameters are, the more applicable the responses gained from computations will be. In particular, if the entire length of the tunnel lining is examined, then, the appropriate selection of various kinds of ground parameters is accountable for the success of a tunnel project and, more importantly, will prevent potential casualties. In this context, methods of system identification for the adaptation of numerical simulation of ground models are presented. Hereby, both deterministic and probabilistic approaches are considered for typical scenarios representing notable variations or changes in the ground model. 13 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 04 - 06 2012, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27771 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2777 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-274 Konferenzveröffentlichung Ameziane, Farid; Lasserre, Stephane SYSBAT - An Application to the Building ProductionBased on Computer Supported Cooperative Work Our proposed solution is to enable partners of a construction project to share all the technical data produced and handled during the building production process by building a system through the use of internet technology.

Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten SUBDIVIDE AND CONQUER RESOLUTION This contribution will be freewheeling in the domain of signal, image and surface processing and touch briefly upon some topics that have been close to the heart of people in our research group. A lot of the research of the last 20 years in this domain that has been carried out world wide is dealing with multiresolution. Multiresolution allows to represent a function (in the broadest sense) at different levels of detail. This was not only applied in signals and images but also when solving all kinds of complex numerical problems. Since wavelets came into play in the 1980's, this idea was applied and generalized by many researchers. Therefore we use this as the central idea throughout this text. Wavelets, subdivision and hierarchical bases are the appropriate tools to obtain these multiresolution effects. We shall introduce some of the concepts in a rather informal way and show that the same concepts will work in one, two and three dimensions. The applications in the three cases are however quite different, and thus one wants to achieve very different goals when dealing with signals, images or surfaces. Because completeness in our treatment is impossible, we have chosen to describe two case studies after introducing some concepts in signal processing. These case studies are still the subject of current research. The first one attempts to solve a problem in image processing: how to approximate an edge in an image efficiently by subdivision. The method is based on normal offsets. The second case is the use of Powell-Sabin splines to give a smooth multiresolution representation of a surface.

However, due to the constant increment of service life requirements and the cost efficiency, polymer modified concrete (PCC) is also used for construction purposes. Therefore, there is a demand for studying the mechanical properties of PCC and entitative differences compared to conventional concrete (CC). It is significant to investigate whether all the assumed hypotheses and existing analytical formulations about CC are also valid for PCC. In the present study, analytical models available in the literature are evaluated. These models are used for estimating mechanical properties of concrete. The investigated property in this study is the modulus of elasticity, which is estimated with respect to the value of compressive strength. One existing database was extended and adapted for polymer-modified concrete mixtures along with their experimentally measured mechanical properties. Based on the indexed data a comparison between model predictions and experiments was conducted by calculation of forecast errors. 9 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27973 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2797 Graduiertenkolleg 1462 OPUS4-2806 Konferenzveröffentlichung Kavrakov, Igor; Timmler, Hans-Georg; Morgenthal, Guido Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom STRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION USING THE ENERGY METHOD WITH INTEGRAL MATERIAL BEHAVIOUR With the advances of the computer technology, structural optimization has become a prominent field in structural engineering. In this study an unconventional approach of structural optimization is presented which utilize the Energy method with Integral Material behaviour (EIM), based on the Lagrange's principle of minimum potential energy. The equilibrium condition with the EIM, as an alternative method for nonlinear analysis, is secured through minimization of the potential energy as an optimization problem. Imposing this problem as an additional constraint on a higher cost function of a structural property, a bilevel programming problem is formulated. The nested strategy of solution of the bilevel problem is used, treating the energy and the upper objective function as separate optimization problems. Utilizing the convexity of the potential energy, gradient based algorithms are employed for its minimization and the upper cost function is minimized using the gradient free algorithms, due to its unknown properties. Two practical examples are considered in order to prove the efficiency of the method. The first one presents a sizing problem of I steel section within encased composite cross section, utilizing the material nonlinearity. The second one is a discrete shape optimization of a steel truss bridge, which is compared to a previous study based on the Finite Element Method. 6 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28065 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2806 Graduiertenkolleg 1462 OPUS4-169 Konferenzveröffentlichung König, Markus; Klinger, Axel; Berkhahn, Volker Structural Correctness of Planning Processes in Building Engineering The planning of projects in building engineering is a complex process which is characterized by a dynamical composition and many modifications during the definition and execution time of processes. For a computer-aided and network-based cooperation a formal description of the planning process is necessary. In the research project "Relational Process Modelling in Cooperative Building Planning" a process model is described by three parts: an organizational structure with participants, a building structure with states and a process structure with activities. This research project is part of the priority program 1103 "Network-Based Cooperative Planning Processes in Structural Engineering" promoted by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Planning processes in civil engineering can be described by workflow graphs. The process structure describes the logical planning process and can be formally defined by a bipartite graph. This structure consists of activities, transitions and relationships between activities and transitions. In order to minimize errors at execution time of a planning process a consistent and structurally correct process model must be guaranteed. This contribution considers the concept and the algorithms for checking the consistency and the correctness of the process structure. 2004 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1690 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.169 Professur Informatik im Bauwesen OPUS4-2896 Konferenzveröffentlichung Szolomicki, Jerzy Pawel Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOUR OF MASONRY VAULTS This paper deals with the modelling and the analysis of masonry vaults. Numerical FEM analyses are performed using LUSAS code. Two vault typologies are analysed (barrel and cross-ribbed vaults) parametrically varying geometrical proportions and constraints. The proposed model and the developed numerical procedure are implemented in a computer analysis. Numerical applications are developed to assess the model effectiveness and the efficiency of the numerical procedure. The main object of the present paper is the development of a computational procedure which allows to define 3D structural behaviour of masonry vaults. For each investigated example, the homogenized limit analysis approach has been employed to predict ultimate load and failure mechanisms. Finally, both a mesh dependence study and a sensitivity analysis are reported. Sensitivity analysis is conducted varying in a wide range mortar tensile strength and mortar friction angle with the aim of investigating the influence of the mechanical properties of joints on collapse load and failure mechanisms. The proposed computer model is validated by a comparison with experimental results available in the literature. 11 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28966 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2896 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-168 Konferenzveröffentlichung Perevalova, Julia; Pahl, Peter Jan Structural and Functional Dependence of Objects in Data Bases Let the information of a civil engineering application be decomposed into objects of a given set of classes. Then the set of objects forms the data base of the application. The objects contain attributes and methods. Properties of the objects are stored in the attributes. Algorithms which the objects perform are implemented in the methods of the objects. If objects are modified by a user, the consistency of data in the base is destroyed. The data base must be modified in an update to restore its consistency. The sequence of the update operations is not arbitrary, but is governed by dependence between the objects. The situation can be described mathematically with graph theory. The available algorithms for the determination of the update sequence are not suitable when the data base is large. A new update algorithm for large data bases has been developed and is presented in this paper. 2004 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1683 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.168 Professur Informatik im Bauwesen OPUS4-2934 Konferenzveröffentlichung Broßmann, Marko; Müller, Karl-Heinz Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten STOCHASTISCHE ANALYSE VON STAHLBETONBALKEN IM GRENZZUSTAND DER ADAPTION UNTER BERüCKSICHTIGUNG DER STEIFIGKEITSDEGRADATION Am Beispiel eines 3-feldrigen Durchlaufträgers wird die Versagenswahrscheinlichkeit von wechselnd belasteten Stahlbetonbalken bezüglich des Grenzzustandes der Adaption (Einspielen, shakedown) untersucht.

In the paper, statistical data collected in the city of Krakow is presented and evaluated. In polish conditions, for trams the time spent on stops makes up the remarkable amount of 30 % of the total time of tram line operation. Moreover, this time is characterized by large variability. The time spent by tram on a stop consists of alighting and boarding time and time lost by tram on stop after alighting and boarding time ending, but before departure. Alighting and boarding time itself usually depends on the random number of alighting and boarding passengers and also on the number of passengers which are inside the vehicle. However, the time spent by tram on stop after alighting and boarding time ending is an effect of certain random events, mainly because of impossibility of departure from stop, caused by lack of priorities for public transport vehicles. The main focus of the talk lies on the description and the modelling of these effects. This paper is involved with CIVITAS-CARAVEL project: "Clean and better transport in cites".

Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten STATIC ANALYSIS ON MODELS OF CONTINUOUS ORTHOTROPIC THIN-WALLED PRISMATIC SHELL STRUCTURES The paper presents a linear static analysis on continuous orthotropic thin-walled shell structures simply supported at the transverse ends with a random deformable contour of the cross section. The external loads can be random as well. The class of this structures involves most of the bridges, scaffold bridges, some roof structures etc. A numerical example of steel continuous structures on five spans with an open contour of the cross-section has been solved. The examination of the structure has used the following two computation models: a prismatic structure consisting of isotropic strips, a plates and ribs, with considering their real interaction, and a smooth orthotropic plate equivalent to the structure in the first model. The displacements and forces of the structure characterizing its stressed and deformed condition have been determined. The results obtained from the two solutions have been analyzed. The study on the structure is made with the force method in combination with the analytical finite strip method (AFSM) in displacements. The basic system is obtained by separating the superstructure from the understructure at the places of intermediate supports and consists of two parts. The first part is a single span thin-walled prismatic shell structure; the second part presents supports (columns, space frames etc.). The connection between the superstructure and intermediate supports is made under random supporting conditions. The forces at the supporting points in the direction of the connections removed are assumed to be the basic unknowns of the force method. The solution of the superstructure has been accomplished by the AFSM in displacements. The structure is divided in only one (transverse) direction into a finite number of plain strips connected to each other in longitudinal linear nodes. The three displacements of the points on the node lines and the rotation around those lines have been assumed to be the basic unknown in each node. The boundary conditions of each strip of the basic system correspond to the simply support along the transverse ends and the restraint along the longitudinal ones. The particular strip of the basic system has been solved by the method of the single trigonometric series. The method is reduced to solving a discrete structure in displacements and restoring its continuity at the places of the sections made in respect to both the displacements and forces. The two parts of the basic system have been solved in sequence under the action of single values of each of the basic unknowns and with the external load. The solution of the support part is accomplished using software for analyzing structures by the FEM. The basic unknown forces have been determined from system of canonic equations, the conditions of the deformations continuity on the places of the removed connections under superstructure and intermediate supports. The final displacements and forces at a random point of a continuous superstructure have been determined using the principle of superposition. The computations have been carried by software developed with Visual Fortran version 5.0 for PC. 8 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-30007 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3000 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2870 Konferenzveröffentlichung Malonek, Helmuth Robert Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten SPECIAL FUNCTIONS VERSUS ELEMENTARY FUNCTIONS IN HYPERCOMPLEX FUNCTION THEORY In recent years special hypercomplex Appell polynomials have been introduced by several authors and their main properties have been studied by different methods and with different objectives. Like in the classical theory of Appell polynomials, their generating function is a hypercomplex exponential function. The observation that this generalized exponential function has, for example, a close relationship with Bessel functions confirmed the practical significance of such an approach to special classes of hypercomplex differentiable functions. Its usefulness for combinatorial studies has also been investigated. Moreover, an extension of those ideas led to the construction of complete sets of hypercomplex Appell polynomial sequences. Here we show how this opens the way for a more systematic study of the relation between some classes of Special Functions and Elementary Functions in Hypercomplex Function Theory. 3 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28702 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2870 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2887 Konferenzveröffentlichung Schrader, Kai; Könke, Carsten Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten SPARSE APPROXIMATE COMPUTATION OF SADDLE POINT PROBLEMS ARISING FROM FETI-DP DISCRETIZATION The numerical simulation of microstructure models in 3D requires, due to enormous d.o.f., significant resources of memory as well as parallel computational power. Compared to homogeneous materials, the material hetrogeneity on microscale induced by different material phases demand for adequate computational methods for discretization and solution process of the resulting highly nonlinear problem. To enable an efficient/scalable solution process of the linearized equation systems the heterogeneous FE problem will be described by a FETI-DP (Finite Element Tearing and Interconnecting - Dual Primal) discretization. The fundamental FETI-DP equation can be solved by a number of different approaches. In our approach the FETI-DP problem will be reformulated as Saddle Point system, by eliminating the primal and Lagrangian variables. For the reduced Saddle Point system, only defined by interior and dual variables, special Uzawa algorithms can be adapted for iteratively solving the FETI-DP saddle-point equation system (FETI-DP SPE). A conjugate gradient version of the Uzawa algorithm will be shown as well as some numerical tests regarding to FETI-DP discretization of small examples using the presented solution technique. Furthermore the inversion of the interior-dual Schur complement operator can be approximated using different techniques building an adequate preconditioning matrix and therewith leading to substantial gains in computing time efficiency. 12 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28874 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2887 Institut für Strukturmechanik (ISM) OPUS4-2825 Konferenzveröffentlichung Vieira, Nelson Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom SOME RESULTS IN FRACTIONAL CLIFFORD ANALYSIS What is nowadays called (classic) Clifford analysis consists in the establishment of a function theory for functions belonging to the kernel of the Dirac operator. While such functions can very well describe problems of a particle with internal SU(2)-symmetries, higher order symmetries are beyond this theory. Although many modifications (such as Yang-Mills theory) were suggested over the years they could not address the principal problem, the need of a n-fold factorization of the d'Alembert operator. In this paper we present the basic tools of a fractional function theory in higher dimensions, for the transport operator (alpha = 1/2 ), by means of a fractional correspondence to the Weyl relations via fractional Riemann-Liouville derivatives. A Fischer decomposition, fractional Euler and Gamma operators, monogenic projection, and basic fractional homogeneous powers are constructed. 6 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28256 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2825 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2769 Konferenzveröffentlichung Kraußhar, Rolf Sören Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom; Werner, Frank SOME HARMONIC ANALYSIS ON MÖBIUS STRIP DOMAINS AND THE KLEIN BOTTLE IN Rn The aim of this paper we discuss explicit series constructions for the fundamental solution of the Helmholtz operator on some important examples non-orientable conformally at manifolds.

With the aid of mathematical rules, which are executed by a computer, solutions to design problems are generated. Provided that "design" is in principle a combinatorial problem, i.e. a constraint-based search for an overall optimal solution of a problem, an exemplary method will be described to solve such problems in architectural layout planning. To avoid conflicts relating to theoretical subtleness, a customary approach adopted from Operations Research has been chosen in this work. In this approach, design is a synonym for planning, which could be described as a systematic and methodical course of action for the analysis and solution of current or future problems. The planning task is defined as an analysis of a problem with the aim to prepare optimal decisions by the use of mathematical methods. The decision problem of a planning task is represented by an optimization model and the application of an efficient algorithm in order to aid finding one or more solutions to the problem. The basic principle underlying the approach presented herein is the understanding of design in terms of searching for solutions that fulfill specific criteria. This search is executed by the use of a constraint programming language. 13 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29874 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2987 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2999 Konferenzveröffentlichung Perepelitsa, V.

Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten SOFTWARE FOR PROJECT RELIABILITY ESTIMATION AND RISK EVALUATION The contribution presents a model that is able to simulate construction duration and cost for a building project. This model predicts set of expected project costs and duration schedule depending on input parameters such as production speed, scope of work, time schedule, bonding conditions and maximum and minimum deviations from scope of work and production speed. The simulation model is able to calculate, on the basis of input level of probability, the adequate construction cost and time duration of a project. The reciprocal view attends to finding out the adequate level of probability for construction cost and activity durations. Among interpretive outputs of the application software belongs the compilation of a presumed dynamic progress chart. This progress chart represents the expected scenario of development of a building project with the mapping of potential time dislocations for particular activities. The calculation of a presumed dynamic progress chart is based on an algorithm, which calculates mean values as a partial result of the simulated building project. Construction cost and time models are, in many ways, useful tools in project management. Clients are able to make proper decisions about the time and cost schedules of their investments. Consequently, building contractors are able to schedule predicted project cost and duration before any decision is finalized. 16 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29255 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2925 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2849 Konferenzveröffentlichung Hamm, Matthias; Beißert, Ulrike; König, Markus Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten SIMULATION-BASED OPTIMIZATION OF CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES BY USING PARETO SIMULATED ANNEALING Within the scheduling of construction projects, different, partly conflicting objectives have to be considered. The specification of an efficient construction schedule is a challenging task, which leads to a NP-hard multi-criteria optimization problem. In the past decades, so-called metaheuristics have been developed for scheduling problems to find near-optimal solutions in reasonable time. This paper presents a Simulated Annealing concept to determine near-optimal construction schedules. Simulated Annealing is a well-known metaheuristic optimization approach for solving complex combinatorial problems. To enable dealing with several optimization objectives the Pareto optimization concept is applied. Thus, the optimization result is a set of Pareto-optimal schedules, which can be analyzed for selecting exactly one practicable and reasonable schedule. A flexible constraint-based simulation approach is used to generate possible neighboring solutions very quickly during the optimization process. The essential aspects of the developed Pareto Simulated Annealing concept are presented in detail. 13 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28499 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2849 Professur Angewandte Mathematik OPUS4-2899 Konferenzveröffentlichung Vorechovský, Miroslav Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten SIMULATION OF SIMPLY CROSS CORRELATED RANDOM FIELDS BY SERIES EXPANSION METHODS A practical framework for generating cross correlated fields with a specified marginal distribution function, an autocorrelation function and cross correlation coefficients is presented in the paper. The contribution promotes a recent journal paper [1]. The approach relies on well known series expansion methods for simulation of a Gaussian random field. The proposed method requires all cross correlated fields over the domain to share an identical autocorrelation function and the cross correlation structure between each pair of simulated fields to be simply defined by a cross correlation coefficient. Such relations result in specific properties of eigenvectors of covariance matrices of discretized field over the domain. These properties are used to decompose the eigenproblem which must normally be solved in computing the series expansion into two smaller eigenproblems. Such decomposition represents a significant reduction of computational effort. Non-Gaussian components of a multivariate random field are proposed to be simulated via memoryless transformation of underlying Gaussian random fields for which the Nataf model is employed to modify the correlation structure. In this method, the autocorrelation structure of each field is fulfilled exactly while the cross correlation is only approximated. The associated errors can be computed before performing simulations and it is shown that the errors happen especially in the cross correlation between distant points and that they are negligibly small in practical situations. 13 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28995 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2899 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2829 Konferenzveröffentlichung Bauer, Marek; Richter, Matthias; Weiß, Hendrik Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten SIMULATION MODEL OF TRAM ROUTE OPERATION From passenger's perspective, punctuality is one of the most important features of tram route operation. We present a stochastic simulation model with special focus on determining important factors of influence. The statistical analysis bases on large samples (sample size is nearly 2000) accumulated from comprehensive measurements on eight tram routes in Cracow. For the simulation, we are not only interested in average values but also in stochastic characteristics like the variance and other properties of the distribution. A realization of trams operations is assumed to be a sequence of running times between successive stops and times spent by tram at the stops divided in passengers alighting and boarding times and times waiting for possibility of departure . The running time depends on the kind of track separation including the priorities in traffic lights, the length of the section and the number of intersections. For every type of section, a linear mixed regression model describes the average running time and its variance as functions of the length of the section and the number of intersections. The regression coefficients are estimated by the iterative re-weighted least square method. Alighting and boarding time mainly depends on type of vehicle, number of passengers alighting and boarding and occupancy of vehicle. For the distribution of the time waiting for possibility of departure suitable distributions like Gamma distribution and Lognormal distribution are fitted. 19 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28295 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2829 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2842 Konferenzveröffentlichung Flaig, Thomas; Apel, Thomas Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten SIMULATION AND MATHEMATICAL OPTIMIZATION OF THE HYDRATION OF CONCRETE FOR AVOIDING THERMAL CRACKS After mixing of concrete, the hardening starts by an exothermic chemical reaction known as hydration. As the reaction rate depends on the temperature the time in the description of the hydration is replaced by the maturity which is defined as an integral over a certain function depending on the temperature. The temperature distribution is governed by the heat equation with a right hand side depending on the maturity and the temperature itself. We compare of the performance of different time integration schemes of higher order with an automatic time step control. The simulation of the heat distribution is of importance as the development of mechanical properties is driven by the hydration. During this process it is possible that the tensile stresses exceed the tensile strength and cracks occur. The goal is to produce cheap concrete without cracks. Simple crack-criterions use only temperature differences, more involved ones are based on thermal stresses. If the criterion predicts cracks some changes in the input data are needed. This can be interpreted as optimization. The final goal will be to adopt model based optimization (in contrast to simulation based optimization) to the problem of the hydration of young concrete and the avoidance of cracks. The first step is the simulation of the hydration, which we focus in this paper. 15 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28424 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2842 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-3033 Konferenzveröffentlichung Weitzmann, Rüdiger Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten SIMPLIFIED CYCLE-BASED DESIGN OF EXTREMELY LOADED STRUCTURES The design of safety-critical structures, exposed to cyclic excitations demands for non-degrading or limited-degrading behavior during extreme events.

Within this area application platforms are designed and realized with the goal to support value added services. In this context value added services integrates microelectronics, home automation and services to enhance the attractiveness of flats, homes and buildings. Especially real estate companies or service providers dealing with home services are interested in an effective design and management of their services. Service Engineering is the approved approach for designing customer oriented service processes. Service engineering consists of several phases; from situation analysis to service creation and service design to service management. This article will describe how the method service blueprint can be used to design service processes. Smart living includes all actions to enlarge a flat to a smart home for living. One special requirement of this application domain is the use of local components (actuators, sensors) within service processes. This article will show how this extended method supports service providers to improve the quality of customer oriented service processes and the derivation of needed interfaces of involved actors. For the civil engineering process it will be possible to derive needed information from a built in home automation system. The aim is to show, how to get needed smart local components to fullfill later offered it-supported value added services. Value added services focused on inhabitants are grouped to consulting and information, care and supervision, leisure time activities, repairs, mobility and delivery, safety and security, supply and disposal. 11 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29908 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2990 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-3012 Konferenzveröffentlichung Schapke, Sven-Eric; Scherer, Raimar J.; Katranuschkov, Peter Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten SEMANTIC SERVICE ENVIRONMENTS FOR INTEGRATING TEXT WITH MODEL-BASED INFORMATION IN AEC/FM In distributed project organisations and collaboration there is a need for integrating unstructured self-contained text information with structured project data. We consider this a process of text integration in which various text technologies can be used to externalise text content and consolidate it into structured information or flexibly interlink it with corresponding information bases. However, the effectiveness of text technologies and the potentials of text integration greatly vary with the type of documents, the project setup and the available background knowledge. The goal of our research is to establish text technologies within collaboration environments to allow for (a) flexibly combining appropriate text and data management technologies, (b) utilising available context information and (c) the sharing of text information in accordance to the most critical integration tasks. A particular focus is on Semantic Service Environments that leverage on Web service and Semantic Web technologies and adequately support the required systems integration and parallel processing of semi-structured and structured information. The paper presents an architecture for text integration that extends Semantic Service Environments with two types of integration services. Backbone to the Information Resource Sharing and Integration Service is a shared environment ontology that consolidates information on the project context and the available model, text and general linguistic resources. It also allows for the configuration of Semantic Text Analysis and Annotation Services to analyse the text documents as well as for capturing the discovered text information and sharing it through semantic notification and retrieval engines. A particular focus of the paper is the definition of the overall integration process configuring a complementary set of analyses and information sharing components. 10 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-30125 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3012 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2805 Konferenzveröffentlichung Karaki, Ghada Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom SELECTION AND SCALING OF GROUND MOTION RECORDS FOR SEISMIC ANALYSIS USING AN OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM The nonlinear time history analysis and seismic performance based methods require a set of scaled ground motions. The conventional procedure of ground motion selection is based on matching the motion properties, e.g. magnitude, amplitude, fault distance, and fault mechanism. The seismic target spectrum is only used in the scaling process following the random selection process. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to present a procedure to select a sets of ground motions from a built database of ground motions. The selection procedure is based on running an optimization problem using Dijkstra's algorithm to match the selected set of ground motions to a target response spectrum. The selection and scaling procedure of optimized sets of ground motions is presented by examining the analyses of nonlinear single degree of freedom systems. 7 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28058 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2805 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2875 Konferenzveröffentlichung Nasser, Mourad Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten SEISMIC RESPONSE OF R/C FRAMES CONSIDERING DYNAMIC SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION In spite of the extensive research in dynamic soil-structure interaction (SSI), there still exist miscon-ceptions concerning the role of SSI in the seismic performance of structures, especially the ones founded on soft soil. This is due to the fact that current analytical SSI models that are used to evaluate the influence of soil on the overall structural behavior are approximate models and may involve creeds and practices that are not always precise. This is especially true in the codified approaches which in-clude substantial approximations to provide simple frameworks for the design. As the direct numerical analysis requires a high computational effort, performing an analysis considering SSI is computationally uneconomical for regular design applications. This paper outlines the set up some milestones for evaluating SSI models. This will be achieved by investigating the different assumptions and involved factors, as well as varying the configurations of R/C moment-resisting frame structures supported by single footings which are subject to seismic excita-tions. It is noted that the scope of this paper is to highlight, rather than fully resolve, the above subject. A rough draft of the proposed approach is presented in this paper, whereas a thorough illustration will be carried out throughout the presentation in the course of the conference. 17 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28759 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2875 Graduiertenkolleg 1462 OPUS4-2821 Konferenzveröffentlichung Tan, Fengjie; Lahmer, Tom; Siddappa, Manju Gyaraganahalll Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom SECTION OPTIMIZATION AND RELIABILITY ANALYSIS OF ARCH-TYPE DAMS INCLUDING COUPLED MECHANICAL-THERMAL AND HYDRAULIC FIELDS From the design experiences of arch dams in the past, it has significant practical value to carry out the shape optimization of arch dams, which can fully make use of material characteristics and reduce the cost of constructions. Suitable variables need to be chosen to formulate the objective function, e.g. to minimize the total volume of the arch dam. Additionally a series of constraints are derived and a reasonable and convenient penalty function has been formed, which can easily enforce the characteristics of constraints and optimal design. For the optimization method, a Genetic Algorithm is adopted to perform a global search. Simultaneously, ANSYS is used to do the mechanical analysis under the coupling of thermal and hydraulic loads. One of the constraints of the newly designed dam is to fulfill requirements on the structural safety. Therefore, a reliability analysis is applied to offer a good decision supporting for matters concerning predictions of both safety and service life of the arch dam. By this, the key factors which would influence the stability and safety of arch dam significantly can be acquired, and supply a good way to take preventive measures to prolong ate the service life of an arch dam and enhances the safety of structure. 8 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28212 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2821 Institut für Strukturmechanik (ISM) OPUS4-2822 Konferenzveröffentlichung Bargstädt, Hans-Joachim; Tarigan, Rina Sari Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom RULE BASED EXPANSION OF STANDARD CONSTRUCTION PROCESSES The paper introduces a systematic construction management approach, supporting expansion of a specified construction process, both automatically and semi-automatically. Throughout the whole design process, many requirements must be taken into account in order to fulfil demands defined by clients. In implementing those demands into a design concept up to the execution plan, constraints such as site conditions, building code, and legal framework are to be considered. However, complete information, which is needed to make a sound decision, is not yet acquired in the early phase. Decisions are traditionally taken based on experience and assumptions. Due to a vast number of appropriate available solutions, particularly in building projects, it is necessary to make those decisions traceable. This is important in order to be able to reconstruct considerations and assumptions taken, should there be any changes in the future project's objectives. The research will be carried out by means of building information modelling, where rules deriving from standard logics of construction management knowledge will be applied. The knowledge comprises a comprehensive interaction amongst bidding process, cost-estimation, construction site preparation as well as specific project logistics - which are usually still separately considered. By means of these rules, favourable decision taking regarding prefabrication and in-situ implementation can be justified. Modifications depending on the available information within current design stage will consistently be traceable. 6 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28229 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2822 Institut für Konstruktiven Ingenieurbau (IKI) OPUS4-2781 Konferenzveröffentlichung Musial, Michal; Ubysz, Andrzej Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom; Werner, Frank ROTATIONAL DUCTILITY OF CRACK IN STATIC AND DYNAMIC CALCULATIONS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BAR STRUCTURES In this paper experimental studies and numerical analysis carried out on reinforced concrete beam are partially reported. They aimed to apply the rigid finite element method to calculations for reinforced concrete beams using discrete crack model. Hence rotational ductility resulting from crack occurrence had to be determined. A relationship for calculating it in static equilibrium was proposed. Laboratory experiments proved that dynamic ductility is considerably smaller. Therefore scaling of the empirical parameter was carried out. Consequently a formula for its value depending on reinforcement ratio was obtained. 9 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 04 - 06 2012, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27813 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2781 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2784 Konferenzveröffentlichung Scheiber, Frank Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom; Werner, Frank ROBUSTNESS IN CIVIL ENGINEERING - INFLUENCES OF THE STRUCTURAL MODEL ON THE EVALUATION OF THE STRUCTURAL ROBUSTNESS The topic of structural robustness is covered extensively in current literature in structural engineering. A few evaluation methods already exist. Since these methods are based on different evaluation approaches, the comparison is difficult. But all the approaches have one in common, they need a structural model which represents the structure to be evaluated. As the structural model is the basis of the robustness evaluation, there is the question if the quality of the chosen structural model is influencing the estimation of the structural robustness index. This paper shows what robustness in structural engineering means and gives an overview of existing assessment methods. One is the reliability based robustness index, which uses the reliability indices of a intact and a damaged structure. The second one is the risk based robustness index, which estimates the structural robustness by the usage of direct and indirect risk. The paper describes how these approaches for the evaluation of structural robustness works and which parameters will be used. Since both approaches needs a structural model for the estimation of the structural behavior and the probability of failure, it is necessary to think about the quality of the chosen structural model. Nevertheless, the chosen model has to represent the structure, the input factors and reflect the damages which occur. On the example of two different model qualities, it will be shown, that the model choice is really influencing the quality of the robustness index. 13 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 04 - 06 2012, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27845 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2784 Graduiertenkolleg 1462 OPUS4-2799 Konferenzveröffentlichung Hartmann, Veronika; Smarsly, Kay; Lahmer, Tom Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom ROBUST SCHEDULING IN CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING In construction engineering, a schedule's input data, which is usually not exactly known in the planning phase, is considered deterministic when generating the schedule. As a result, construction schedules become unreliable and deadlines are often not met. While the optimization of construction schedules with respect to costs and makespan has been a matter of research in the past decades, the optimization of the robustness of construction schedules has received little attention. In this paper, the effects of uncertainties inherent to the input data of construction schedules are discussed. Possibilities are investigated to improve the reliability of construction schedules by considering alternative processes for certain tasks and by identifying the combination of processes generating the most robust schedule with respect to the makespan of a construction project. 5 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27994 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2799 Professur Informatik im Bauwesen OPUS4-167 Konferenzveröffentlichung Keller, Martin; Antoniadis, George; Menzel, Karsten Resource Management for the Construction Industry The management of resources is an essential task in each construction company. Today, ERP systems and e-Business systems are available to assist construction companies to efficiently organise the allocation of their personnel and equipment within the company, but they cannot provide the company with the idle resources for every single task that has to be performed during a construction project. Therefore, companies should have an alternative solution to better exploit expensive resources and compensate their fixed costs, but also have them available at the right time for their own business activities. This paper outlines the approach taken by the EU funded project "e-Sharing" (IST-2001-33325) to support resource management between construction companies. It will describe requirements for the management of construction resources, its core features, and the integration approach. Therefore, we will outline the approach of an integrated resource type model supporting the management and classification of construction equipment, construction tasks and qualification profiles. The development is based on a cross-domain analysis and evaluation of existing models. ... 2004 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1679 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.167 Professur Informatik im Bauwesen OPUS4-2961 Konferenzveröffentlichung Gurtovy, O.

The settlement circuit of transverse loaded plate is formed by symmetrical attaching of a plate concerning a surface of contact to the foundation. The plate of the double thickness becomes bilateral symmetrically loaded concerning its median surface. It allows to model only unflexural deformation that reduces amount of unknown and the general order of differentiation of resolving system of the equations. The developed refined continual model takes into account deformations of transverse shear and transverse compression in high iterative approximation. Rigid contact between the foundation and a plate, and also shear without friction on a surface of contact of a plate with the foundation is considered. Calculations confirm efficiency of such approach, allowing to receive decisions which is qualitative and quantitatively close to three-dimensional solutions. 6 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29613 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2961 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2939 Konferenzveröffentlichung Falcão, M.

The first one is related to Fueter's well known approach to the generation of monogenic quaternion-valued functions by means of holomorphic functions, the second one is based on the solution of hypercomplex differential equations and finally the third one is a direct series approach, based on the use of special homogeneous polynomials. We illustrate the theory by generating three different exponential functions and discuss some of their properties.

Here, one of the main points of interest is the character of the chronological development of the disturbances (namely the differences between time of departure provided in schedule and real time of departure) on subsequent sections during tram line operation. These developments were observed in comprehensive measurements done in Krakow, during one of the main transportation nodes (Rondo Mogilskie) rebuilding. All taken building activities cause big disturbances in tram lines operation with effects extended to neighboring sections. In a second part, the stochastic character of section running time will be analyzed more detailed. There will be taken into consideration sections with only one beginning stop and also with two or three beginning stops located at different streets at an intersection. Possibility of adding results from sections with two beginning stops to one set will be checked with suitable statistical tests which are used to compare the means of the two samples. Section running time may depend on the value of gap between two following trams and from the value of deviation from schedule. This dependence will be described by a multi regression formula. The main measurements were done in the city center of Krakow in two stages: before and after big changes in tramway infrastructure. 16 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28281 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2828 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2798 Konferenzveröffentlichung Grigor'ev, Yuri Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom REGULAR QUATERNIONIC FUNCTIONS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS The theory of regular quaternionic functions of a reduced quaternionic variable is a 3-dimensional generalization of complex analysis. The Moisil-Theodorescu system (MTS) is a regularity condition for such functions depending on the radius vector r = ix+jy+kz seen as a reduced quaternionic variable. The analogues of the main theorems of complex analysis for the MTS in quaternion forms are established: Cauchy, Cauchy integral formula, Taylor and Laurent series, approximation theorems and Cauchy type integral properties. The analogues of positive powers (inner spherical monogenics) are investigated: the set of recurrence formulas between the inner spherical monogenics and the explicit formulas are established. Some applications of the regular function in the elasticity theory and hydrodynamics are given. 6 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27988 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2798 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2895 Konferenzveröffentlichung Suzuki, Osamu Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten RECENT RESULTS ON ITERATION DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS OF DISCRETE LAPLACIANS ON THE PLANE LATTICE The recent development on the mathematical theory and the computer simulations of iteration dynamical system of discrete Laplacian on the plane lattice is reviewed and the future problem is discussed. 13 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28954 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2895 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2891 Konferenzveröffentlichung Smarsly, Kay; Hartmann, Dietrich Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten REAL-TIME MONITORING OF WIND CONVERTERS BASED ON SOFTWARE AGENTS Due to increasing numbers of wind energy converters, the accurate assessment of the lifespan of their structural parts and the entire converter system is becoming more and more paramount. Lifespan-oriented design, inspections and remedial maintenance are challenging because of their complex dynamic behavior. Wind energy converters are subjected to stochastic turbulent wind loading causing corresponding stochastic structural response and vibrations associated with an extreme number of stress cycles (up to 109 according to the rotation of the blades). Currently, wind energy converters are constructed for a service life of about 20 years. However, this estimation is more or less made by rule of thumb and not backed by profound scientific analyses or accurate simulations. By contrast, modern structural health monitoring systems allow an improved identification of deteriorations and, thereupon, to drastically advance the lifespan assessment of wind energy converters. In particular, monitoring systems based on artificial intelligence techniques represent a promising approach towards cost-efficient and reliable real-time monitoring. Therefore, an innovative real-time structural health monitoring concept based on software agents is introduced in this contribution. For a short time, this concept is also turned into a real-world monitoring system developed in a DFG joint research project in the authors' institute at the Ruhr-University Bochum. In this paper, primarily the agent-based development, implementation and application of the monitoring system is addressed, focusing on the real-time monitoring tasks in the deserved detail. 11 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28916 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2891 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2768 Konferenzveröffentlichung Keitel, Holger Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom; Werner, Frank QUANTIFYING THE QUALITY OF PARTIAL MODEL COUPLING AND ITS EFFECT ON THE SIMULATED STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR The process of analysis and design in structural engineering requires the consideration of different partial models, for example loading, structural materials, structural elements, and analysis types. The various partial models are combined by coupling several of their components. Due to the large number of available partial models describing similar phenomena, many different model combinations are possible to simulate the same aspects of a structure. The challenging task of an engineer is to select a model combination that ensures a sufficient, reliable prognosis. In order to achieve this reliable prognosis of the overall structural behavior, a high individual quality of the partial models and an adequate coupling of the partial models is required. Several methodologies have been proposed to evaluate the quality of partial models for their intended application, but a detailed study of the coupling quality is still lacking. This paper proposes a new approach to assess the coupling quality of partial models in a quantitative manner. The approach is based on the consistency of the coupled data and applies for uni- and bidirectional coupled partial models. Furthermore, the influence of the coupling quality on the output quantities of the partial models is considered. The functionality of the algorithm and the effect of the coupling quality are demonstrated using an example of coupled partial models in structural engineering. 11 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 04 - 06 2012, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27689 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2768 Graduiertenkolleg 1462 OPUS4-2886 Konferenzveröffentlichung Schneider, David Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten QUALITY OPTIMIZATION USING LOCALLY REFINED META MODELS Quality is one of the most important properties of a product. Providing the optimal quality can reduce costs for rework, scrap, recall or even legal actions while satisfying customers demand for reliability. The aim is to achieve ``built-in'' quality within product development process (PDP). The common approach therefore is the robust design optimization (RDO). It uses stochastic values as constraint and/or objective to obtain a robust and reliable optimal design. In classical approaches the effort required for stochastic analysis multiplies with the complexity of the optimization algorithm. The suggested approach shows that it is possible to reduce this effort enormously by using previously obtained data. Therefore the support point set of an underlying metamodel is filled iteratively during ongoing optimization in regions of interest if this is necessary. In a simple example, it will be shown that this is possible without significant loss of accuracy. 17 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28864 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2886 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2794 Konferenzveröffentlichung Almamou, Abd Albasset; Gebhardt, Thomas; Bock, Sebastian; Hildebrand, Jörg; Schwarz, Willfried Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom QUALITY CONTROL OF CONSTRUCTED MODELS USING 3D POINT CLOUD Over the last decade, the technology of constructing buildings has been dramatically developed especially with the huge growth of CAD tools that help in modeling buildings, bridges, roads and other construction objects. Often quality control and size accuracy in the factory or on construction site are based on manual measurements of discrete points. These measured points of the realized object or a part of it will be compared with the points of the corresponding CAD model to see whether and where the construction element fits into the respective CAD model. This process is very complicated and difficult even when using modern measuring technology. This is due to the complicated shape of the components, the large amount of manually detected measured data and the high cost of manual processing of measured values. However, by using a modern 3D scanner one gets information of the whole constructed object and one can make a complete comparison against the CAD model. It gives an idea about quality of objects on the whole. In this paper, we present a case study of controlling the quality of measurement during the constructing phase of a steel bridge by using 3D point cloud technology. Preliminary results show that an early detection of mismatching between real element and CAD model could save a lot of time, efforts and obviously expenses. 9 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27944 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2794 Professur Angewandte Mathematik OPUS4-2808 Konferenzveröffentlichung Khosravian, Reza; Wuttke, Frank Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom QUALITATIVE INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF SOIL MODELING APPROACH ON DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF A SMALL-SCALE 2-DOF STRUCTURE WITH PILE FOUNDATION Known as a sophisticated phenomenon in civil engineering problems, soil structure interaction has been under deep investigations in the field of Geotechnics. On the other hand, advent of powerful computers has led to development of numerous numerical methods to deal with this phenomenon, resulting in a wide variety of methods trying to simulate the behavior of the soil stratum. This survey studies two common approaches to model the soil's behavior in a system consisting of a structure with two degrees of freedom, representing a two-storey frame structure made of steel, with the column resting on a pile embedded into sand in laboratory scale. The effect of soil simulation technique on the dynamic behavior of the structure is of major interest in the study. Utilized modeling approaches are the so-called Holistic method, and substitution of soil with respective impedance functions. 6 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28080 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2808 Graduiertenkolleg 1462 OPUS4-166 Konferenzveröffentlichung Huhnt, Wolfgang Progress Measurement in Planning Processes on the Base of Process Models This paper presents a specific modeling technique that is focused on preparing planning processes in civil engineering. Planning processes in civil engineering are characterized by some peculiarities so that the sequence of planning tasks needs to be determined for each planning project. Neither the use of optimized partial processes nor the use of lower detailed and optimized processes guarantee an optimal overall planning process. The modeling technique considers these peculiarities. In a first step, it is focused on the logic of the planning process. Algorithms based on the graph theory determine that logic. This approach ensures consistency and logical correctness of the description of a planning process at the early beginning in its preparation phase. Sets of data - the products of engineers like technical drawings, technical models, reports, or specifications - form the core of the presented modeling technique. The production of these sets of data requires time and money. This is expressed by a specific weighting of each set of data in the presented modeling technique. The introduction of these weights allows an efficient progress measurement and controlling of a planning project. For this purpose, a link between the modeling technique used in the preparation phase and the execution phase is necessary so that target and actual values are available for controlling purposes. The present paper covers the description of this link. An example is given to illustrate the use of the modeling technique for planning processes in civil engineering projects. 2004 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1664 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.166 Professur Informatik im Bauwesen OPUS4-3022 Konferenzveröffentlichung Skowronek, Marek Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten PROBABILISTIC LIMIT STATE ANALYSIS OF MONUMENTAL STRUCTURE BY MONTE CARLO SIMULATION The concept is presented of the sensitivity analysis of the limit state of the structure with respect to selected basic variables. The sensitivity is presented in the form of the probability distribution of the limit state of the structure. The analysis is performed by the problem-oriented Monte Carlo simulation procedure. The procedure is based on the problem's definition of the elementary event, as a structural limit state. Thus the sample space consists of limit states of the structure. Defined on the sample space the one-dimensional random multiplier is introduced. This multiplier refers to the dominant basic variable (group of variables) of the problem. Numerical procedure results in the set of random numbers. Normalized relative histogram of this set is an estimator of the PDF of the limit state of the structure. Estimators of reliability, or the probability of failure are statistical characteristics of this histogram. The procedure is illustrated by the example of sensitivity analysis of the serviceability limit state of monumental structure. It is the colonnade of Licheń Basilica, situated in central Poland. Limit state of the structure is examined with reference to the upper deck horizontal deflection. Wind actions are taken as dominant variables. An assumption is made that the wind load intensities acting on the lower and on the upper storey of the colonnade, respectively, are identically distributed, but correlated random variables. Three correlation variants of these variables are considered. Relevant limit state histograms are analysed thereafter. The paper ends with the conclusions referring to the method and some general remarks on the fully probabilistic design. 10 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-30222 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3022 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-3028 Konferenzveröffentlichung Trummer, Michael; Denzler, J.; Süße, Herbert Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten PRECISE 3D MEASUREMENT WITH STANDARD MEANS AND MINIMIAL USER INTERACTION - EXTENDED SINGLE-VIEW RECONSTRUCTION The paper proposes a new method for general 3D measurement and 3D point reconstruction. Looking at its features, the method explicitly aims at practical applications. These features especially cover low technical expenses and minimal user interaction, a clear problem separation into steps that are solved by simple mathematical methods (direct, stable and optimal with respect to least error squares), and scalability. The method expects the internal and radial distortion parameters of the used camera(s) as inputs, and a plane quadrangle with known geometry within the scene. At first, for each single picture the 3D position of the reference quadrangle (with respect to each camera coordinate frame) is calculated. These 3D reconstructions of the reference quadrangle are then used to yield the relative external parameters of each camera regarding the first one. With known external parameters, triangulation is finally possible. The differences from other known procedures are outlined, paying attention to the stable mathematical methods (no usage of nonlinear optimization) and the low user interaction with good results at the same time. 8 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-30282 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3028 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2969 Konferenzveröffentlichung Hoffmann, Sabine; Kornadt, Oliver Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten PHASENÜBERGANGSMATERIALIEN ALS PASSIVE WÄRMESPEICHER IN REVITALISIERUNGSOBJEKTEN Summer overheating in buildings is a common problem, especially in office buildings with large glazed facades, high internal loads and low thermal mass. Phase change materials (PCM) that undergo a phase transition in the temperature range of thermal comfort can add thermal mass without increasing the structural load of the building. The investigated PCM were micro-encapsulated and mixed into gypsum plaster. The experiments showed a reduction of indoor-temperature of up to 4 K when using a 3 cm layer of PCM-plaster with micro-encapsulated paraffin. The measurement results could validate a numerical model that is based on a temperature dependent function for heat capacity. Thermal building simulation showed that a 3 cm layer of PCM-plaster can help to fulfil German regulations concerning heat protection of buildings in summer for most office rooms. 12 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29699 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2969 Professur Bauphysik OPUS4-2802 Konferenzveröffentlichung Ignatova, Elena; Kirschke, Heiko; Tauscher, Eike; Smarsly, Kay Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom PARAMETRIC GEOMETRIC MODELING IN CONSTRUCTION PLANNING USING INDUSTRY FOUNDATION CLASSES One of the most promising and recent advances in computer-based planning is the transition from classical geometric modeling to building information modeling (BIM). Building information models support the representation, storage, and exchange of various information relevant to construction planning. This information can be used for describing, e.g., geometric/physical properties or costs of a building, for creating construction schedules, or for representing other characteristics of construction projects. Based on this information, plans and specifications as well as reports and presentations of a planned building can be created automatically. A fundamental principle of BIM is object parameterization, which allows specifying geometrical, numerical, algebraic and associative dependencies between objects contained in a building information model. In this paper, existing challenges of parametric modeling using the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) as a federated model for integrated planning are shown, and open research questions are discussed. 8 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28024 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2802 Professur Informatik im Bauwesen OPUS4-2898 Konferenzveröffentlichung Unger, Jörg F.; Könke, Carsten Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION OF MESOSCALE MODELS FROM MACROSCOPIC TESTS USING BAYESIAN NEURAL NETWORKS In this paper, a parameter identification procedure using Bayesian neural networks is proposed.

The results obtained in the context of buffer elements indicate that sensitive parameter estimates generally obey the normal distribution. According to the sensitivity of the parameters and the probability distribution of the samples we can provide confidence intervals for the estimated parameters and thus allow a qualitative estimation on the identified parameters which are in future work used as inputs for prognosis computations of buffer elements. These elements play e.g. an important role in the design of nuclear waste repositories. 6 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 20 - 22 2015, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-28162 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2816 Institut für Strukturmechanik (ISM) OPUS4-2951 Konferenzveröffentlichung Erlemann, Kai; Hartmann, Dietrich Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten PARALLELIZATION OF A MICROSCOPIC TRAFFIC SIMULATION SYSTEM USING MPIJAVA Traffic simulation is a valuable tool for the design and evaluation of road networks. Over the years, the level of detail to which urban and freeway traffic can be simulated has increased steadily, shifting from a merely qualitative macroscopic perspective to a very detailed microscopic view, where the behavior of individual vehicles is emulated realistically. With the improvement of behavioral models, however, the computational complexity has also steadily increased, as more and more aspects of real-life traffic have to be considered by the simulation environment. Despite the constant increase in computing power of modern personal computers, microscopic simulation stays computationally expensive, limiting the maximum network size than can be simulated on a single-processor computer in reasonable time. Parallelization can distribute the computing load from a single computer system to a cluster of several computing nodes. To this end, the exisiting simulation framework had to be adapted to allow for a distributed approach. As the simulation is ultimately targeted to be executed in real-time, incorporating real traffic data, only a spatial partition of the simulation was considered, meaning the road network has to be partitioned into subnets of comparable complexity, to ensure a homogenous load balancing. The partition process must also ensure, that the division between subnets does only occur in regions, where no strong interaction between the separated road segments occurs (i.e. not in the direct vicinity of junctions). In this paper, we describe a new microscopic reasoning voting strategy, and discuss in how far the increasing computational costs of these more complex behaviors lend themselves to a parallelized approach. We show the parallel architecture employed, the communication between computing units using MPIJava, and the benefits and pitfalls of adapting a single computer application to be used on a multi-node computing cluster. 8 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29516 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2951 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2945 Konferenzveröffentlichung Ebert, Carsten; Lenzen, Armin Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten OUTPUT-ONLY ANALYSIS FOR EXPERIMENTAL DAMAGE DETECTION OF A TIED-ARCH BRIDGE In civil engineering it is very difficult and often expensive to excite constructions such as bridges and buildings with an impulse hammer or shaker. This problem can be avoided with the output-only method as special feature of stochastic system identification. The permanently existing ambient noise (e.g. wind, traffic, waves) is sufficient to excite the structures in their operational conditions. The output-only method is able to estimate the observable part of a state-space-model which contains the dynamic characteristics of the measured mechanical system. Because of the assumption that the ambient excitation is white there is no requirement to measure the input. Another advantage of the output-only method is the possibility to get high detailed models by a special method, called polyreference setup. To pretend the availability of a much larger set of sensors the data from varying sensor locations will be collected. Several successive data sets are recorded with sensors at different locations (moving sensors) and fixed locations (reference sensors). The covariance functions of the reference sensors are bases to normalize the moving sensors. The result of the following subspace-based system identification is a high detailed black-box-model that contains the weighting function including the well-known dynamic parameters eigenfrequencies and mode shapes of the mechanical system. Emphasis of this lecture is the presentation of an extensive damage detection experiment. A 53-year old prestressed concrete tied-arch-bridge in Hünxe (Germany) was deconstructed in 2005. Preliminary numerous vibration measurements were accomplished. The first experiment for system modification was an additional support near the bridge bearing of one main girder. During a further experiment one hanger from one tied arch was cut through as an induced damage. Some first outcomes of the described experiments will be presented. 13 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29452 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2945 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2772 Konferenzveröffentlichung Le, Hoai Thu; Morais, Joao; Sprößig, Wolfgang Gürlebeck, Klaus; Lahmer, Tom; Werner, Frank ORTHOGONAL DECOMPOSITIONS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS It is well known that complex quaternion analysis plays an important role in the study of higher order boundary value problems of mathematical physics. Following the ideas given for real quaternion analysis, the paper deals with certain orthogonal decompositions of the complex quaternion Hilbert space into its subspaces of null solutions of Dirac type operator with an arbitrary complex potential. We then apply them to consider related boundary value problems, and to prove the existence and uniqueness as well as the explicit representation formulae of the underlying solutions. 10 Digital Proceedings, International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering : July 04 - 06 2012, Bauhaus-University Weimar urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-27729 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2772 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2995 Konferenzveröffentlichung Muschalla, Dirk Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten OPTIMIZATION OF WATER RESOURCES SYSTEMS USING MULTI-OBJECTIVE EVOLUTION STRATEGIES This paper deals with the development of a new multi-objective evolution strategy in combination with an integrated pollution-load and water-quality model. The optimization algorithm combines the advantages of the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm and Self-Adaptive Evolution Strategies. The identification of a good spread of solutions on the pareto-optimum front and the optimization of a large number of decision variables equally demands numerous simulation runs. In addition, statements with regard to the frequency of critical concentrations and peak discharges require continuous long-term simulations. Therefore, a fast operating integrated simulation model is needed providing the required precision of the results. For this purpose, a hydrological deterministic pollution-load model has been coupled with a river water-quality and a rainfall-runoff model. Wastewater treatment plants are simulated in a simplified way. The functionality of the optimization and simulation tool has been validated by analyzing a real catchment area including sewer system, WWTP, water body and natural river basin. For the optimization/rehabilitation of the urban drainage system, both innovative and approved measures have been examined and used as decision variables. As objective functions, investment costs and river water quality criteria have been used. 10 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170327-29953 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2995 In Zusammenarbeit mit der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar OPUS4-2900 Konferenzveröffentlichung Vu, Anh Tuan; Werner, Frank Gürlebeck, Klaus; Könke, Carsten OPTIMIZATION OF STEEL STRUCTURES BASED ON DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION ALGORITHM Steel structural design is an integral part of the building construction process. So far, various methods of design have been applied in practice to satisfy the design requirements. This paper attempts to acquire the Differential Evolution Algorithms in automatization of specific synthesis and rationalization of design process. The capacity of the Differential Evolution Algorithms to deal with continuous and/or discrete optimization of steel structures is also demonstrated. The goal of this study is to propose an optimal design of steel frame structures using built-up I-sections and/or a combination of standard hot-rolled profiles. All optimized steel frame structures in this paper generated optimization solutions better than the original solution designed by the manufacturer. Taking the criteria regarding the quality and efficiency of the practical design into consideration, the produced optimal design with the Differential Evolution Algorithms can completely replace conventional design because of its excellent performance. 11 urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170314-29007 10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2900 Professur Stahlbau
