TY - THES A1 - Zhang, Yongzheng T1 - A Nonlocal Operator Method for Quasi-static and Dynamic Fracture Modeling N2 - Material failure can be tackled by so-called nonlocal models, which introduce an intrinsic length scale into the formulation and, in the case of material failure, restore the well-posedness of the underlying boundary value problem or initial boundary value problem. Among nonlocal models, peridynamics (PD) has attracted a lot of attention as it allows the natural transition from continuum to discontinue and thus allows modeling of discrete cracks without the need to describe and track the crack topology, which has been a major obstacle in traditional discrete crack approaches. This is achieved by replacing the divergence of the Cauchy stress tensor through an integral over so-called bond forces, which account for the interaction of particles. A quasi-continuum approach is then used to calibrate the material parameters of the bond forces, i.e., equating the PD energy with the energy of a continuum. One major issue for the application of PD to general complex problems is that they are limited to fairly simple material behavior and pure mechanical problems based on explicit time integration. PD has been extended to other applications but losing simultaneously its simplicity and ease in modeling material failure. Furthermore, conventional PD suffers from instability and hourglass modes that require stabilization. It also requires the use of constant horizon sizes, which drastically reduces its computational efficiency. The latter issue was resolved by the so-called dual-horizon peridynamics (DH-PD) formulation and the introduction of the duality of horizons. Within the nonlocal operator method (NOM), the concept of nonlocality is further extended and can be considered a generalization of DH-PD. Combined with the energy functionals of various physical models, the nonlocal forms based on the dual-support concept can be derived. In addition, the variation of the energy functional allows implicit formulations of the nonlocal theory. While traditional integral equations are formulated in an integral domain, the dual-support approaches are based on dual integral domains. One prominent feature of NOM is its compatibility with variational and weighted residual methods. The NOM yields a direct numerical implementation based on the weighted residual method for many physical problems without the need for shape functions. Only the definition of the energy or boundary value problem is needed to drastically facilitate the implementation. The nonlocal operator plays an equivalent role to the derivatives of the shape functions in meshless methods and finite element methods (FEM). Based on the variational principle, the residual and the tangent stiffness matrix can be obtained with ease by a series of matrix multiplications. In addition, NOM can be used to derive many nonlocal models in strong form. The principal contributions of this dissertation are the implementation and application of NOM, and also the development of approaches for dealing with fractures within the NOM, mostly for dynamic fractures. The primary coverage and results of the dissertation are as follows: -The first/higher-order implicit NOM and explicit NOM, including a detailed description of the implementation, are presented. The NOM is based on so-called support, dual-support, nonlocal operators, and an operate energy functional ensuring stability. The nonlocal operator is a generalization of the conventional differential operators. Combining with the method of weighted residuals and variational principles, NOM establishes the residual and tangent stiffness matrix of operate energy functional through some simple matrix without the need of shape functions as in other classical computational methods such as FEM. NOM only requires the definition of the energy drastically simplifying its implementation. For the sake of conciseness, the implementation in this chapter is focused on linear elastic solids only, though the NOM can handle more complex nonlinear problems. An explicit nonlocal operator method for the dynamic analysis of elasticity solid problems is also presented. The explicit NOM avoids the calculation of the tangent stiffness matrix as in the implicit NOM model. The explicit scheme comprises the Verlet-velocity algorithm. The NOM can be very flexible and efficient for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). It's also quite easy for readers to use the NOM and extend it to solve other complicated physical phenomena described by one or a set of PDEs. Several numerical examples are presented to show the capabilities of this method. -A nonlocal operator method for the dynamic analysis of (thin) Kirchhoff plates is proposed. The nonlocal Hessian operator is derived from a second-order Taylor series expansion. NOM is higher-order continuous, which is exploited for thin plate analysis that requires $C^1$ continuity. The nonlocal dynamic governing formulation and operator energy functional for Kirchhoff plates are derived from a variational principle. The Verlet-velocity algorithm is used for time discretization. After confirming the accuracy of the nonlocal Hessian operator, several numerical examples are simulated by the nonlocal dynamic Kirchhoff plate formulation. -A nonlocal fracture modeling is developed and applied to the simulation of quasi-static and dynamic fractures using the NOM. The phase field's nonlocal weak and associated strong forms are derived from a variational principle. The NOM requires only the definition of energy. We present both a nonlocal implicit phase field model and a nonlocal explicit phase field model for fracture; the first approach is better suited for quasi-static fracture problems, while the key application of the latter one is dynamic fracture. To demonstrate the performance of the underlying approach, several benchmark examples for quasi-static and dynamic fracture are solved.

The prediction quality of dynamic simulations of vibration-sensitive components depends significantly on the use of appropriate damping models. Damping phenomena have a decisive influence on the vibration amplitude and the frequencies of the vibrating structure. However, developing realistic damping models is challenging due to the multiple sources that cause energy dissipation, such as material damping, different types of friction, or various interactions with the environment. This thesis focuses on thermoelastic damping, which is the main cause of material damping in homogeneous materials. The effect is caused by temperature changes due to mechanical strains. In vibrating structures, temperature gradients arise in adjacent tension and compression areas. Depending on the vibration frequency, they result in heat flows, leading to increased entropy and the irreversible transformation of mechanical energy into thermal energy. The central objective of this thesis is the development of efficient simulation methods to incorporate thermoelastic damping in finite element analyses based on modal superposition. The thermoelastic loss factor is derived from the structure's mechanical mode shapes and eigenfrequencies. In subsequent analyses that are performed in the time and frequency domain, it is applied as modal damping. Two approaches are developed to determine the thermoelastic loss in thin-walled plate structures, as well as three-dimensional solid structures. The realistic representation of the dissipation effects is verified by comparing the simulation results with experimentally determined data. Therefore, an experimental setup is developed to measure material damping, excluding other sources of energy dissipation. The three-dimensional solid approach is based on the determination of the generated entropy and therefore the generated heat per vibration cycle, which is a measure for thermoelastic loss in relation to the total strain energy. For thin plate structures, the amount of bending energy in a modal deformation is calculated and summarized in the so-called Modal Bending Factor (MBF). The highest amount of thermoelastic loss occurs in the state of pure bending. Therefore, the MBF enables a quantitative classification of the mode shapes concerning the thermoelastic damping potential. The results of the developed simulations are in good agreement with the experimental results and are appropriate to predict thermoelastic loss factors. Both approaches are based on modal superposition with the advantage of a high computational efficiency. Overall, the modeling of thermoelastic damping represents an important component in a comprehensive damping model, which is necessary to perform realistic simulations of vibration processes. N2 - Die Finite-Elemente Simulation von dynamisch angeregten Strukturen wird im Wesentlich durch die Steifigkeits-, Massen- und Dämpfungseigenschaften des Systems sowie durch die äußere Belastung bestimmt. Die Vorhersagequalität von dynamischen Simulationen schwingungsanfälliger Bauteile hängt wesentlich von der Verwendung geeigneter Dämpfungsmodelle ab. Dämpfungsphänomene haben einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Schwingungsamplitude, die Frequenz und teilweise sogar die Existenz von Vibrationen. Allerdings ist die Entwicklung von realitätsnahen Dämpfungsmodellen oft schwierig, da eine Vielzahl von physikalischen Effekten zur Energiedissipation während eines Schwingungsvorgangs führt. Beispiele hierfür sind die Materialdämpfung, verschiedene Formen der Reibung sowie vielfältige Wechselwirkungen mit dem umgebenden Medium. Diese Dissertation befasst sich mit thermoelastischer Dämpfung, die in homogenen Materialien die dominante Ursache der Materialdämpfung darstellt. Der thermoelastische Effekt wird ausgelöst durch eine Temperaturänderung aufgrund mechanischer Spannungen. In der schwingenden Struktur entstehen während der Deformation Temperaturgradienten zwischen benachbarten Regionen unter Zug- und Druckbelastung. In Abhängigkeit von der Vibrationsfrequenz führen diese zu Wärmeströmen und irreversibler Umwandlung mechanischer in thermische Energie. Die Zielstellung dieser Arbeit besteht in der Entwicklung recheneffizienter Simulationsmethoden, um thermoelastische Dämpfung in zeitabhängigen Finite-Elemente Analysen, die auf modaler Superposition beruhen, zu integrieren. Der thermoelastische Verlustfaktor wird auf der Grundlage der mechanischen Eigenformen und -frequenzen bestimmt. In nachfolgenden Analysen im Zeit- und Frequenzbereich wird er als modaler Dämpfungsgrad verwendet. Zwei Ansätze werden entwickelt, um den thermoelastischen Verlustfaktor in dünn-wandigen Plattenstrukturen, sowie in dreidimensionalen Volumenbauteilen zu simulieren. Die realitätsnahe Vorhersage der Energiedissipation wird durch die Verifizierung an experimentellen Daten bestätigt. Dafür wird ein Versuchsaufbau entwickelt, der eine Messung von Materialdämpfung unter Ausschluss anderer Dissipationsquellen ermöglicht. Für den Fall der Volumenbauteile wird ein Ansatz verwendet, der auf der Berechnung der Entropieänderung und damit der erzeugte Wärmeenergie während eines Schwingungszyklus beruht. Im Verhältnis zur Formänderungsenergie ist dies ein Maß für die thermoelastische Dämpfung. Für dünne Plattenstrukturen wird der Anteil an Biegeenergie in der Eigenform bestimmt und im sogenannten modalen Biegefaktor (MBF) zusammengefasst. Der maximale Grad an thermoelastischer Dämpfung kann im Zustand reiner Biegung auftreten, sodass der MBF eine quantitative Klassifikation der Eigenformen hinsichtlich ihres thermoelastischen Dämpfungspotentials zulässt. Die Ergebnisse der entwickelten Simulationsmethoden stimmen sehr gut mit den experimentellen Daten überein und sind geeignet, um thermoelastische Dämpfungsgrade vorherzusagen. Beide Ansätze basieren auf modaler Superposition und ermöglichen damit zeitabhängige Simulationen mit einer hohen Recheneffizienz. Insgesamt stellt die Modellierung der thermoelastischen Dämpfung einen Baustein in einem umfassenden Dämpfungsmodell dar, welches zur realitätsnahen Simulation von Schwingungsvorgängen notwendig ist.

The equations include both first-order and second-order (wave) hyperbolic systems. In these systems even smooth initial conditions, or smoothly varying source (load) terms could lead to discontinuous propagating solutions (fronts). For the first order hyperbolic PDEs, the concept of central high resolution schemes is integrated with the multiresolution-based adaptation to capture properly both discontinuous propagating fronts and effects of fine-scale responses on those of larger scales in the multiscale manner. This integration leads to using central high resolution schemes on non-uniform grids; however, such simulation is unstable, as the central schemes are originally developed to work properly on uniform cells/grids. Hence, the main concern is stable collaboration of central schemes and multiresoltion-based cell adapters. Regarding central schemes, the considered approaches are: 1) Second order central and central-upwind schemes; 2) Third order central schemes; 3) Third and fourth order central weighted non-oscillatory schemes (central-WENO or CWENO); 4) Piece-wise parabolic methods (PPMs) obtained with two different local stencils. For these methods, corresponding (nonlinear) stability conditions are studied and modified, as well. Based on these stability conditions several limiters are modified/developed as follows: 1) Several second-order limiters with total variation diminishing (TVD) feature, 2) Second-order uniformly high order accurate non-oscillatory (UNO) limiters, 3) Two third-order nonlinear scaling limiters, 4) Two new limiters for PPMs. Numerical results show that adaptive solvers lead to cost-effective computations (e.g., in some 1-D problems, number of adapted grid points are less than 200 points during simulations, while in the uniform-grid case, to have the same accuracy, using of 2049 points is essential). Also, in some cases, it is confirmed that fine scale responses have considerable effects on higher scales. In numerical simulation of nonlinear first order hyperbolic systems, the two main concerns are: convergence and uniqueness. The former is important due to developing of the spurious oscillations, the numerical dispersion and the numerical dissipation. Convergence in a numerical solution does not guarantee that it is the physical/real one (the uniqueness feature). Indeed, a nonlinear systems can converge to several numerical results (which mathematically all of them are true). In this work, the convergence and uniqueness are directly studied on non-uniform grids/cells by the concepts of local numerical truncation error and numerical entropy production, respectively. Also, both of these concepts have been used for cell/grid adaptations. So, the performance of these concepts is also compared by the multiresolution-based method. Several 1-D and 2-D numerical examples are examined to confirm the efficiency of the adaptive solver. Examples involve problems with convex and non-convex fluxes. In the latter case, due to developing of complex waves, proper capturing of real answers needs more attention. For this purpose, using of method-adaptation seems to be essential (in parallel to the cell/grid adaptation). This new type of adaptation is also performed in the framework of the multiresolution analysis. Regarding second order hyperbolic PDEs (mechanical waves), the regularization concept is used to cure artificial (numerical) oscillation effects, especially for high-gradient or discontinuous solutions. There, oscillations are removed by the regularization concept acting as a post-processor. Simulations will be performed directly on the second-order form of wave equations. It should be mentioned that it is possible to rewrite second order wave equations as a system of first-order waves, and then simulated the new system by high resolution schemes. However, this approach ends to increasing of variable numbers (especially for 3D problems). The numerical discretization is performed by the compact finite difference (FD) formulation with desire feature; e.g., methods with spectral-like or optimized-error properties. These FD methods are developed to handle high frequency waves (such as waves near earthquake sources). The performance of several regularization approaches is studied (both theoretically and numerically); at last, a proper regularization approach controlling the Gibbs phenomenon is recommended. At the end, some numerical results are provided to confirm efficiency of numerical solvers enhanced by the regularization concept. In this part, shock-like responses due to local and abrupt changing of physical properties, and also stress wave propagation in stochastic-like domains are studied.

Im ersten Schritt wurden Probenkörper aus GJS500 und GJS600 von mehreren Gusslieferanten gegossen und daraus Schwingproben erstellt. Insgesamt wurden Schwingfestigkeitswerte der einzelnen gegossenen Proben sowie der Proben des Bauteils von verschiedenen Gussherstellern weltweit entweder durch direkte Schwingversuche oder durch eine Sammlung von Betriebsfestigkeitsversuchen bestimmt. Dank der metallografischen Arbeit und Korrelationsanalyse konnten drei wesentliche Parameter zur Bestimmung der lokalen Dauerfestigkeit festgestellt werden: 1. statische Festigkeit, 2. Ferrit- und Perlitanteil der Mikrostrukturen und 3. Kugelgraphitanzahl pro Flächeneinheit. Basierend auf diesen Erkenntnissen wurde ein neues Festigkeitsverhältnisdiagramm (sogenanntes Sd/Rm-SG-Diagramm) entwickelt. Diese neue Methodik sollte vor allem ermöglichen, die Bauteildauerfestigkeit auf der Grundlage der gemessenen oder durch eine Gießsimulation vorhersagten lokalen Zugfestigkeitswerte sowie Mikrogefügenstrukturen besser zu prognostizieren. Mithilfe der Versuche sowie der Gießsimulation ist es gelungen, unterschiedliche Methoden der Lebensdauervorhersage unter Berücksichtigung der Herstellungsprozesse weiterzuentwickeln.

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

N2 - Charakteristisch für das Zeitalter des Klimawandels sind die durch den Menschen verursachte Meeresverschmutzung sowie ein massiver Rückgang der Artenvielfalt in den Weltmeeren. Tropische Korallenriffe sind als eines der ältesten und artenreichsten Ökosysteme der Erde besonders stark gefährdet und stehen somit symbolisch für die zerstörerischen Auswirkungen menschlicher Aktivitäten auf die Natur [4], [5]. Um dem massiven Rückgang der Korallenriffe entgegenzuwirken, wurden von Menschen künstliche Riffsysteme entwickelt [6], [7]. Sie sind Beispiele dafür, wie Architektur und die Regenerierung von Ökosystemen miteinander verbunden werden können [8]. Eine Verknüpfung von einerseits künstlichen und andererseits komplexen, sich verändernden natürlichen Systemen, stellt jedoch eine Herausforderung dar, u.a. in Bezug auf die Computermodellierung (B-Rep Modellierung). Zum Erhalt der Korallenriffe werden in der vorliegende Doktorarbeit Strategien aus der digitalen Praxis neuartig auf das Entwerfen von künstlichen Korallenriffen angewendet. Die Hauptfrage befasst sich damit, wie der Entwurfsprozess von künstlichen Korallenriffen unter Einbeziehung von Computermodellierung und hochpräzisen Überwachungsstrategien optimiert werden kann. In diesem Zusammenhang werden Techniken, Methoden sowie ein übergeordnetes Framework erforscht, welche zukünftige Forschung und Praxis in Bezug auf Ökologie-geleitete Entwurfsprozesse fördern soll. In Anbetracht der vielen vorhandenen künstlichen Riffsysteme, kann man feststellen, dass die Zusammenhänge zwischen Architektur- und Ökosystem-Anforderungen nicht genau untersucht und dadurch bei der Umsetzung nicht entsprechend berücksichtigt werden. Zum Beispiel wie Oberflächenbeschaffenheit und Materialität eine Ansiedlung von Korallenlarven begünstigt oder wie eine räumlich vielseitige Struktur die Artenvielfalt verbessern kann. Zudem fehlt ein integrierter Unterwasser-Überwachungsprozess, welcher Informationen über das Ökosystem liefert und diese dem Entwurf bereitstellt. Zusätzlich ist eine Unterwasser-Überwachung notwendig, um herauszufinden, ob die künstlichen Riffstrukturen zur Regenerierung beitragen oder dem Ökosystem gänzlich schaden. In dieser Forschungsarbeit werden empirische und experimentelle Methoden angewendet: Algorithmisches Entwerfen für Korallenriffe, hochpräzise Unterwasser-Überwachung, Computermodellierung und -simulation. Die Forschung wird seit 2012 bis heute durch zwei Riffprototypen (Artificial Reef Prototypes – ARPs) in Gili Trawangan, Indonesien validiert. Zusätzlich wurden weitere separate Methoden und Techniken in insgesamt siebzehn computergestützten Experimenten entwickelt und so angewendet, dass viele kreuzvalidiert und in ein Framework integriert sind, welches dann als bedeutender Beitrag dem Forschungsgebiet zur Verfügung steht. Weitere Hauptbeiträge sind der Ökosystem-bewusste Entwurfsansatz (Ecosystem-aware design approach), Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) für das Gestalten von Korallenriffen, algorithmisches Entwerfen und die Herstellung von Biorock-Kathoden, neue hochpräzise Unterwasser-Überwachungsstrategien, reale Langzeitexperimente, neue digitale Analysemethoden, sowie zwei webbasierte Softwareanwendungen für die Gestaltung und die Überwachung von künstlichen Korallenriffen. Das methodische Framework ist das Hauptergebnis der Forschung, da die vielen technischen Komponenten in dieser Weise zum ersten Mal getestet und kombiniert wurden. Zusammenfassend reagiert die vorliegende Doktorarbeit sowohl auf die Dringlichkeit als auch auf die Relevanz der Erhaltung von Artenvielfalt in tropischen Korallenriffen in Zeiten eines massiven Aussterbens, indem sie einen differenzierten Entwurfsansatz für künstliche Korallenriffe offeriert. Die Arbeit zeigt auf, dass ein digitales Entwerfen einer solchen „lebendigen Architektur“ unter Berücksichtigung vielfältiger Anforderungen und Leistungsparametern machbar ist. Zusätzlich bietet sie eine ausführliche kritische Diskussion über die Rolle von computergestützten Entwerfen und Architektur im Zusammenhang mit Regenerierung von Ökosystemen und “Planetary Thinking”. In dieser Hinsicht fungiert die Doktorarbeit als theoretischer und praktischer Hintergrund für computergestütztes Entwerfen, Ökologie und Meeresschutz. Eine Verbesserung des Entwerfens von künstlichen Korallenriffen wird nicht nur auf technischer Ebene aufgezeigt, sondern es werden auch die wesentlichen Kriterien und Techniken für deren Umsetzung benannt.

ER - TY - THES A1 - Valizadeh, Navid T1 - Developments in Isogeometric Analysis and Application to High-Order Phase-Field Models of Biomembranes N2 - Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is a numerical method for solving partial differential equations (PDEs), which was introduced with the aim of integrating finite element analysis with computer-aided design systems. The main idea of the method is to use the same spline basis functions which describe the geometry in CAD systems for the approximation of solution fields in the finite element method (FEM). Originally, NURBS which is a standard technology employed in CAD systems was adopted as basis functions in IGA but there were several variants of IGA using other technologies such as T-splines, PHT splines, and subdivision surfaces as basis functions. In general, IGA offers two key advantages over classical FEM: (i) by describing the CAD geometry exactly using smooth, high-order spline functions, the mesh generation process is simplified and the interoperability between CAD and FEM is improved, (ii) IGA can be viewed as a high-order finite element method which offers basis functions with high inter-element continuity and therefore can provide a primal variational formulation of high-order PDEs in a straightforward fashion. The main goal of this thesis is to further advance isogeometric analysis by exploiting these major advantages, namely precise geometric modeling and the use of smooth high-order splines as basis functions, and develop robust computational methods for problems with complex geometry and/or complex multi-physics. As the first contribution of this thesis, we leverage the precise geometric modeling of isogeometric analysis and propose a new method for its coupling with meshfree discretizations. We exploit the strengths of both methods by using IGA to provide a smooth, geometrically-exact surface discretization of the problem domain boundary, while the Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM) discretization is used to provide the volumetric discretization of the domain interior. The coupling strategy is based upon the higher-order consistency or reproducing conditions that are directly imposed in the physical domain. The resulting coupled method enjoys several favorable features: (i) it preserves the geometric exactness of IGA, (ii) it circumvents the need for global volumetric parameterization of the problem domain, (iii) it achieves arbitrary-order approximation accuracy while preserving higher-order smoothness of the discretization. Several numerical examples are solved to show the optimal convergence properties of the coupled IGA–RKPM formulation, and to demonstrate its effectiveness in constructing volumetric discretizations for complex-geometry objects. As for the next contribution, we exploit the use of smooth, high-order spline basis functions in IGA to solve high-order surface PDEs governing the morphological evolution of vesicles. These governing equations are often consisted of geometric PDEs, high-order PDEs on stationary or evolving surfaces, or a combination of them. We propose an isogeometric formulation for solving these PDEs. In the context of geometric PDEs, we consider phase-field approximations of mean curvature flow and Willmore flow problems and numerically study the convergence behavior of isogeometric analysis for these problems. As a model problem for high-order PDEs on stationary surfaces, we consider the Cahn–Hilliard equation on a sphere, where the surface is modeled using a phase-field approach. As for the high-order PDEs on evolving surfaces, a phase-field model of a deforming multi-component vesicle, which consists of two fourth-order nonlinear PDEs, is solved using the isogeometric analysis in a primal variational framework. Through several numerical examples in 2D, 3D and axisymmetric 3D settings, we show the robustness of IGA for solving the considered phase-field models. Finally, we present a monolithic, implicit formulation based on isogeometric analysis and generalized-alpha time integration for simulating hydrodynamics of vesicles according to a phase-field model. Compared to earlier works, the number of equations of the phase-field model which need to be solved is reduced by leveraging high continuity of NURBS functions, and the algorithm is extended to 3D settings. We use residual-based variational multi-scale method (RBVMS) for solving Navier–Stokes equations, while the rest of PDEs in the phase-field model are treated using a standard Galerkin-based IGA. We introduce the resistive immersed surface (RIS) method into the formulation which can be employed for an implicit description of complex geometries using a diffuse-interface approach. The implementation highlights the robustness of the RBVMS method for Navier–Stokes equations of incompressible flows with non-trivial localized forcing terms including bending and tension forces of the vesicle. The potential of the phase-field model and isogeometric analysis for accurate simulation of a variety of fluid-vesicle interaction problems in 2D and 3D is demonstrated.

In this sense, the Central Argentine Dairy Basin (CADB) is presented as a space where the traces of different human projects have accumulated over centuries of occupation, which can be read as heritage. The impact of dairy farming and other productive activities has shaped the configuration of its landscape. The main hypothesis assumed that a cultural landscape would have been formed in the CADB, whose configuration would have depended to a great extent on the history of productive activities and their deployment over the territory, and this same history would hide the keys to its alternative. The thesis approached the object of study from descriptive and cartographic methods that placed the narration of the history of territory and the resources of the landscape as a discursive axis. A series of intentional readings of the territory and its constituent parts pondered the layers of data that have accumulated on it in the form of landscape traces, with the help of an approach from complementary dimensions (natural, sociocultural, productive, planning). Furthermore, the intersection of historical sources was used in order to allow the construction of the territorial story and the detection of the origin of the landscape components. A meticulous cartographic work also helped to spatialise the set of phenomena and elements studied, and was reflected in a multiscalar scanning.

Zur kontinuierlichen Charakterisierung der Erstarrung und Erhärtung frischer zementgebundener Systeme wird ein auf Ultraschallsensoren für Longitudinal- und Scherwellen basierendes Messsystem in Kombination mit zugehörigen Verfahrensweisen zur Datenauswertung konzipiert, charakterisiert und angewandt. Gegenüber der bislang üblichen alleinigen Bewertung der Verfestigung anhand indirekter Ultraschallparameter wie Ausbreitungsgeschwindigkeit, Signalenergie oder Frequenzgehalt der Longitudinalwelle lässt sich damit eine direkte, sensible Erfassung der sich während der Strukturbildung entwickelnden dynamischen elastischen Eigenschaften auf der Basis primärer physikalischer Werkstoffparameter erreichen. Insbesondere Scherwellen und der dynamische Schubmodul sind geeignet, den graduellen Übergang zum Festkörper mit Überschreiten der Perkolationsschwelle sensibel und unabhängig vom Luftgehalt zu erfassen. Die zeitliche Entwicklung der dynamischen elastischen Eigenschaften, die Strukturbildungsraten sowie die daraus extrahierten diskreten Ergebnisparameter ermöglichen eine vergleichende quantitative Charakterisierung der Strukturbildung zementgebundener Baustoffe aus mechanischer Sicht. Dabei lassen sich typische, oft unvermeidbare Unterschiede in der Zusammensetzung der Versuchsmischungen berücksichtigen. Der Einsatz laserbasierter Methoden zur Anregung und Erfassung von mechanischen Wellen und deren Kombination zu Laser-Ultraschall zielt darauf ab, die mit der Anwendung des konventionellen Ultraschall-Transmissionsverfahrens verbundenen Nachteile zu eliminieren. Diese resultieren aus der Sensorgeometrie, der mechanischen Ankopplung und bei einer Vielzahl von Oberflächenpunkten aus einem hohen prüftechnischen Aufwand. Die laserbasierte, interferometrische Erfassung mechanischer Wellen ist gegenüber Ultraschallsensoren rauschbehaftet und vergleichsweise unsensibel. Als wesentliche Voraussetzung der scannenden Anwendung von Laser-Ultraschall auf zementgebundene Baustoffe erfolgen systematische experimentelle Untersuchungen zur laserinduzierten ablativen Anregung. Diese sollen zum Verständnis des Anregungsmechanismus unmittelbar auf den Oberflächen von zementgebundenen Baustoffen, Gesteinskörnungen und metallischen Werkstoffen beitragen, relevante Einflussfaktoren aus den charakteristischen Materialeigenschaften identifizieren, geeignete Prozessparameter gewinnen und die Verfahrensgrenzen aufzeigen. Unter Einsatz von Longitudinalwellen erfolgt die Anwendung von Laser-Ultraschall zur zeit- und ortsaufgelösten Charakterisierung der Strukturbildung und Homogenität frischer sowie erhärteter Proben zementgebundener Baustoffe. Während der Strukturbildung wird erstmals eine simultane berührungslose Erfassung von Longitudinal- und Scherwellen vorgenommen. Unter Anwendung von tomographischen Methoden (2D-Laufzeit¬tomo¬graphie) werden überlagerungsfreie Informationen zur räumlichen Verteilung struktureller Gefügeveränderungen anhand der longitudinalen Ausbreitungsgeschwindigkeit bzw. des relativen dynamischen Elastizitätsmoduls innerhalb von virtuellen Schnittebenen geschädigter Probekörper gewonnen. Als beton-schädigende Mechanismen werden exemplarisch der kombinierte Frost-Tausalz-Angriff sowie die Alkali-Kieselsäure-Reaktion (AKR) herangezogen. Die im Rahmen dieser Arbeit entwickelten Verfahren der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung bieten erweiterte Möglichkeiten zur Charakterisierung zementgebundener Baustoffe und deren strukturellen Veränderungen und lassen sich zielgerichtet in der Werkstoffentwicklung, bei der Qualitätssicherung sowie zur Analyse von Schadensprozessen und -ursachen einsetzen. N2 - In this research, structural changes of cement-based building materials are characterized using two ultrasonic transmission-based methods of non-destructive testing (NDT) with mechanical waves. For continuous characterization of setting and hardening of fresh cementitious materials a measurement system is designed, characterized and applied based on ultrasonic compressional and shear wave transducers in combination with associated data evaluation procedures. In contrast to common non-destructive testing of setting and hardening by means of solely indirect ultrasonic parameters such as pulse velocity, signal energy or frequency content of compressional waves, a direct sensitive recording of dynamic elastic properties can be achieved during the structure formation on the basis of primary physical material parameters. Especially, shear waves and the dynamic shear modulus are suitable to capture the gradual transition to a solid with exceeding percolation threshold in a sensitive manner and independent of air content. The development of dynamic elastic properties, the structure formation rates and the extracted discrete result parameters enable a comparative and quantitative analysis of the structural formation of fresh cementitious materials from a mechanical point of view. As an advantage, often unavoidable differences in the composition of test blends can be taken into account. The application of laser-based techniques for generation and detection of mechanical waves and their combination to laser-ultrasonics eliminates the disadvantages associated with the application of conventional ultrasonic through-transmission techniques. These result from sensor geometry, mechanical coupling and, in case of numerous surface points, due to a high inspection time and effort. Furthermore, the laser-based interferometric detection of mechanical waves is noisy and relatively insensitive compared to application of ultrasonic sensors. As an essential prerequisite, systematic experimental investigations of laser-induced ablative generation are carried out for the scanning application of laser-ultrasonics on cement-based building materials. These investigations contribute to the understanding of the excitation mechanism directly on the surfaces of concrete, natural aggregates and metallic targets and to the identification of relevant influencing factors from the characteristic material properties. By gathering optimized process parameters, the limitations of laser-ultrasonics to concrete are shown. Laser-ultrasonics is applied using compressional waves for time- and space-resolved characterization of the structure formation and homogeneity of fresh and hardened specimen of cement-based building materials. During the structure formation process, the simultaneous contactless acquisition of compressional and shear waves is carried out for the first time. With the implementation of tomographic methods (2D travel-time tomography) it is possible to obtain superposition-free information on the spatial distribution of microstructural changes by means of the longitudinal ultrasonic pulse velocity or the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity within virtual cross-sections of damaged specimens. The combined freeze-thaw de-icing salt attack as well as the alkali-silica reaction (ASR) are investigated as mechanisms of concrete damage. The methods of non-destructive testing developed within the scope of this study offer extended possibilities for the characterization of cement-based building materials and their structural changes and can be applied in a targeted manner in materials development, quality control and in analysis of damage processes and causes.

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