TY - THES A1 - ZHANG, CHAO T1 - Crack Identification using Dynamic Extended Finite Element Method and Thermal Conductivity Engineering for Nanomaterials N2 - Identification of flaws in structures is a critical element in the management of maintenance and quality assurance processes in engineering. Nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques based on a wide range of physical principles have been developed and are used in common practice for structural health monitoring. However, basic NDT techniques are usually limited in their ability to provide the accurate information on locations, dimensions and shapes of flaws. One alternative to extract additional information from the results of NDT is to append it with a computational model that provides detailed analysis of the physical process involved and enables the accurate identification of the flaw parameters. The aim here is to develop the strategies to uniquely identify cracks in two-dimensional 2D) structures under dynamic loadings. A local NDT technique combined eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) with dynamic loading in order to identify the cracks in the structures quickly and accurately is developed in this dissertation. The Newmark-b time integration method with Rayleigh damping is used for the time integration. We apply Nelder-Mead (NM)and Quasi-Newton (QN) methods for identifying the crack tip in plate. The inverse problem is solved iteratively, in which XFEM is used for solving the forward problem in each iteration. For a timeharmonic excitation with a single frequency and a short-duration signal measured along part of the external boundary, the crack is detected through the solution of an inverse time-dependent problem. Compared to the static load, we show that the dynamic loads are more effective for crack detection problems. Moreover, we tested different dynamic loads and find that NM method works more efficient under the harmonic load than the pounding load while the QN method achieves almost the same results for both load types. A global strategy, Multilevel Coordinate Search (MCS) with XFEM (XFEM-MCS) methodology under the dynamic electric load, to detect multiple cracks in 2D piezoelectric plates is proposed in this dissertation. The Newmark-b method is employed for the time integration and in each iteration the forward problem is solved by XFEM for various cracks. The objective functional is minimized by using a global search algorithm MCS. The test problems show that the XFEM-MCS algorithm under the dynamic electric load can be effectively employed for multiple cracks detection in piezoelectric materials, and it proves to be robust in identifying defects in piezoelectric structures. Fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) are extensively applied in practical engineering since they have high stiffness and strength. Experiments reveal a so-called interphase zone, i.e. the space between the outside interface of the fiber and the inside interface of the matrix. The interphase strength between the fiber and the matrix strongly affects the mechanical properties as a result of the large ratio of interface/volume. For the purpose of understanding the mechanical properties of FRCs with functionally graded interphase (FGI), a closed-form expression of the interface strength between a fiber and a matrix is obtained in this dissertation using a continuum modeling approach according to the ver derWaals (vdW) forces. Based on the interatomic potential, we develop a new modified nonlinear cohesive law, which is applied to study the interface delamination of FRCs with FGI under different loadings. The analytical solutions show that the delamination behavior strongly depends on the interphase thickness, the fiber radius, the Young’s moduli and Poisson’s ratios of the fiber and the matrix. Thermal conductivity is the property of a material to conduct heat. With the development and deep research of 2D materials, especially graphene and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), the thermal conductivity of 2D materials attracts wide attentions. The thermal conductivity of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) is found to appear a tendency of decreasing under tensile strain by classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Hence, the strain effects of graphene can play a key role in the continuous tunability and applicability of its thermal conductivity property at nanoscale, and the dissipation of thermal conductivity is an obstacle for the applications of thermal management. Up to now, the thermal conductivity of graphene under shear deformation has not been investigated yet. From a practical point of view, good thermal managements of GNRs have significantly potential applications of future GNR-based thermal nanodevices, which can greatly improve performances of the nanosized devices due to heat dissipations. Meanwhile, graphene is a thin membrane structure, it is also important to understand the wrinkling behavior under shear deformation. MoS2 exists in the stable semiconducting 1H phase (1H-MoS2) while the metallic 1T phase (1T-MoS2) is unstable at ambient conditions. As it’s well known that much attention has been focused on studying the nonlinear optical properties of the 1H-MoS2. In a very recent research, the 1T-type monolayer crystals of TMDCs, MX2 (MoS2, WS2 ...) was reported having an intrinsic in-plane negative Poisson’s ratio. Luckily, nearly at the same time, unprecedented long-term (>3months) air stability of the 1T-MoS2 can be achieved by using the donor lithium hydride (LiH). Therefore, it’s very important to study the thermal conductivity of 1T-MoS2. The thermal conductivity of graphene under shear strain is systematically studied in this dissertation by MD simulations. The results show that, in contrast to the dramatic decrease of thermal conductivity of graphene under uniaxial tensile, the thermal conductivity of graphene is not sensitive to the shear strain, and the thermal conductivity decreases only 12-16%. The wrinkle evolves when the shear strain is around 5%-10%, but the thermal conductivity barely changes. The thermal conductivities of single-layer 1H-MoS2(1H-SLMoS2) and single-layer 1T-MoS2 (1T-SLMoS2) with different sample sizes, temperatures and strain rates have been studied systematically in this dissertation. We find that the thermal conductivities of 1H-SLMoS2 and 1T-SLMoS2 in both the armchair and the zigzag directions increase with the increasing of the sample length, while the increase of the width of the sample has minor effect on the thermal conductions of these two structures. The thermal conductivity of 1HSLMoS2 is smaller than that of 1T-SLMoS2 under size effect. Furthermore, the temperature effect results show that the thermal conductivities of both 1H-SLMoS2 and 1T-SLMoS2 decrease with the increasing of the temperature. The thermal conductivities of 1HSLMoS2 and 1T-SLMoS2 are nearly the same (difference <6%) in both of the chiral orientations under corresponding temperatures, especially in the armchair direction (difference <2.8%). Moreover, we find that the strain effects on the thermal conductivity of 1HSLMoS2 and 1T-SLMoS2 are different. More specifically, the thermal conductivity decreases with the increasing tensile strain rate for 1T-SLMoS2, while fluctuates with the growth of the strain for 1HSLMoS2. Finally, we find that the thermal conductivity of same sized 1H-SLMoS2 is similar with that of the strained 1H-SLMoS2 structure.

Around 80% of the world's electricity comes from coal and petroleum however, the renewables are the fastest growing source of energy in the world. Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and biogas are the most common forms of renewable energy. Among them, wind energy is emerging as a reliable and large-scaled source of power production. The recent research and confidence in the performance has led to the construction of more and bigger wind turbines around the world. As wind turbines are getting bigger, a concern regarding their safety is also in discussion. Wind turbines are expensive machinery to construct and the enormous capital investment is one of the main reasons, why many countries are unable to adopt to the wind energy. Generally, a reliable wind turbine will result in better performance and assist in minimizing the cost of operation. If a wind turbine fails, it's a loss of investment and can be harmful for the surrounding habitat. This thesis aims towards estimating the reliability of an offshore wind turbine. A model of Jacket type offshore wind turbine is prepared by using finite element software package ABAQUS and is compared with the structural failure criteria of the wind turbine tower. UQLab, which is a general uncertainty quantification framework developed at ETH Zürich, is used for the reliability analysis. Several probabilistic methods are included in the framework of UQLab, which include Monte Carlo, First Order Reliability Analysis and Adaptive Kriging Monte Carlo simulation. This reliability study is performed only for the structural failure of the wind turbine but it can be extended to many other forms of failures e.g. reliability for power production, or reliability for different component failures etc. It's a useful tool that can be utilized to estimate the reliability of future wind turbines, that could result in more safer and better performance of wind turbines.

These analyses are mainly based on numerical models. Accordingly, the generated results depend on the quality of the used models. Therefore it is very important that the models describe the considered systems such that the behaviour of the physical structure is realistically represented. As any model is based on assumptions, there is always a certain degree of uncertainty present in the results of a simulation based on the respective numerical model. To minimise these uncertainties in the prediction of the response of a structure to a certain loading, it has become common practice to update or calibrate the parameters of a numerical model based on observations of the structural behaviour of the respective existing system. The determination of the behaviour of an existing structure requires experimental investigations. If the numerical analyses concern the dynamic response of a structure it is sensible to direct the experimental investigations towards the identification of the dynamic structural behaviour which is determined by the modal parameters of the system. In consequence, several methods for the experimental identification of modal parameters have been developed since the 1980ies. Due to various technical restraints in civil engineering which limit the possibilities to excitate a structure with economically reasonable effort, several methods have been developed that allow a modal identification form tests with an ambient excitation. The approach of identifying modal parameters only from measurements of the structural response without precise knowledge of the excitation is known as output-only or operational modal analysis. Since operational modal analysis (OMA) can be considered as a link between numerical modelling and simulation on the one hand and the dynamic behaviour of an existing structure on the other hand, the respective algorithms connect both the concepts of structural dynamics and mathematical tools applied within the processing of experimental data. Accordingly, the related theoretical topics are revised after an introduction into the topic. Several OMA methods have been developed over the last decades. The most established algorithms are presented here and their application is illustrated by means of both a small numerical and an experimental example. Since experimentally obtained results always underly manifold influences, an appropriate postprocessing of the results is necessary for a respective quality assessment. This quality assessment does not only require respective indicators but should also include the quantification of uncertainties. One special feature in modal testing is that it is common to instrument the structure in different sensor setups to improve the spacial resolution of identified mode shapes. The modal information identified from tests in several setups needs to be merged a posteriori. Algorithms to cope with this problem are also presented. Due to the fact that the amount of data generated in modal tests can become very large, manual processing can become extremely expensive or even impossible, for example in the case of a long-term continuous structural monitoring. In these situations an automated analysis and postprocessing are essential. Descriptions of respective methodologies are therefore also included in this work. Every structural system in civil engineering is unique and so also every identification of modal parameters has its specific challenges. Some aspects that can be faced in practical applications of operational modal analysis are presented and discussed in a chapter that is dedicated specific problems that an analyst may have to overcome. Case studies of systems with very close modes, with limited accessibility as well as the application of different OMA methods are described and discussed. In this context the focus is put on several types of uncertainty that may occur in the multiple stages of an operational modal analysis. In literature only very specific uncertainties at certain stages of the analysis are addressed. Here, the topic of uncertainties has been considered in a broader sense and approaches for treating respective problems are suggested. Eventually, it is concluded that the methodologies of operatinal modal analysis and related technical solutions have been well-engineered already. However, as in any discipline that includes experiments, a certain degree of uncertainty always remains in the results. From these conclusions has been derived a demand for further research and development that should be directed towards the minimisation of these uncertainties and to a respective optimisation of the steps and corresponding parameters included in an operational modal analysis.

Approx. 9,300 facilities account 5.3% of the total generated electricity in Germany. Optimization of these biogas plants will undoubtably promote the sustainable provision of electricity, heat and natural gas. This research study developed a multi-methodical assessment approach to de-scribe the quality of input substrates as part of a holistic process optimization. This is achieved by combination of conventional analysis, use of organoleptic parameters, integration of process- as well as substrate-specific experient ba-sed knowledge. Correlations and causalities between chemical-physical, biological, organoleptic and experiential parameters are explored. These inves-tigations based on semi-technical experiments. Using case-based reasoning, a form of artificial intelligence, demonstrates the potential for development and integration of automation. Solving approaches to overcome the challenges of multi-methodical process assessment are presented. Finally, an outlook on further research needs is given. Furthermore, the trans-ferability of the multi-methodical assessment approach to other fields of application like bio-waste treatment or sewage treatment plants, is incited.

Traditionell bezeichnet der Begriff Illustration ein Bild, das einen textlich vorangestellten Inhalt noch einmal visuell wiederholt und auf diesem Weg in einem Abbild verdoppelt. Traditionelle Illustration benennt also ein sekundäres, explizit von einem anderen Inhalt abhängiges Bild, das auch weggelassen werden könnte, ohne das Inhalt verloren geht. Genutzt wird dieser traditionelle Illustrationsbegriff heute unter anderem in den Forschungsfeldern der Kunstgeschichte, der Bildwissenschaften und der Literatur­wissenschaften. Aus der Perpektive der Praxis birgt der traditionelle Illustrationsbegriff ein grundsätzliches Problem in sich. Er versucht, mit einer statischen Definition ein äußerst lebendiges visuelles Phänomen unserer heutigen Zeit zu beschreiben. Professionelle Berufszeichner, die sogenannten Illustratorinnen und Illustratoren, kreieren heute Werke, die mit dem traditionellen Illustrations­begriff nicht mehr beschreibbar sind. Mehr noch, der traditionelle Illustrationsbegriff macht blind für diese Entwicklungen, die sich deshalb außerhalb des wissenschaft­lichen Diskurses abspielen. Die vorliegende Arbeit möchte deshalb einen Blick auf den Zustand zeitgenössischer literarischer Buch­illustration werfen, um den Begriff der Illustration in seiner aktuellen Unschärfe zu präzisieren, zu erweitern und somit zu aktualisieren.

Going beyond merely retrieving the most relevant result set for the current query, the retrieval system should aim to surface results that are actually useful to the task that motivated the query. This dissertation explores how retrieval systems can better understand and support their users’ tasks from three main angles: First, we study and quantify search engine user behavior during complex writing tasks, and how task success and behavior are associated in such settings. Second, we investigate search engine queries formulated as questions, and explore patterns in a large query log that may help search engines to better support this increasingly prevalent interaction pattern. Third, we propose a novel approach to reranking the search result lists produced by web search engines, taking into account retrieval axioms that formally specify properties of a good ranking.

This material summarizes the results of the project work done throughout the semester, provides an overview of the topic, as well as impressions from the accompanying programme. Wind Engineering is a particular field of Civil Engineering that evaluates the resistance of structures caused by wind loads. Bridges, high-rise buildings, chimneys and telecommunication towers might be susceptible to wind vibrations due to their increased flexibility, therefore a special design is carried for this aspect. Advancement in technology and scientific studies permit us doing research at small scale for more accurate analyses. Therefore scaled models of real structures are built and tested for various construction scenarios. These models are placed in wind tunnels where experiments are conducted to determine parameters such as: critical wind speeds for bridge decks, static wind coefficients and forces for buildings or bridges. The objective of the course was to offer insight to the students into the assessment of long-span cable-supported bridges and high-rise buildings under wind excitation. The participating students worked in interdisciplinary teams to increase their knowledge in the understanding and influences on the behaviour of wind-sensitive structures.

These methods allow the usage of conventional single objective optimization algorithms, as scalarization methods reformulate the MOO problem into a single objective optimization problem. The scalarization methods analysed within this thesis are the Weighted Sum (WS), the Epsilon-Constraint (EC), and the MinMax (MM) method. After explaining the approach of each method, the WS, EC and MM are applied, a-posteriori, to three different examples: to the Kursawe function; to the ten bar truss, a common benchmark problem in structural optimization; and to the metamodel of an aero engine exit module. The aim is to evaluate and compare the performance of each scalarization method that is examined within this thesis. The evaluation is conducted using performance metrics, such as the hypervolume and the generational distance, as well as using visual comparison. The application to the three examples gives insight into the advantages and disadvantages of each method, and provides further understanding of an adequate application of the methods concerning high dimensional optimization problems.

So liegen Anwendungsgebiete dieser Gase neben der klassischen metallverarbeitenden und der chemischen Industrie bei Sauerstoff vor allem in der Medizin, Verbrennungs- und Kläranlagenoptimierung sowie der Fischzucht und bei Stickstoff als Schutz- beziehungsweise Inertgas in der Kunststoffindustrie, der Luft- und Raumfahrt sowie dem Brandschutz. Die Bereitstellung der Gase Sauerstoff und Stickstoff wird nahezu ausschließlich durch die Abtrennung aus der Umgebungsluft realisiert, welche aus ca. 78 Vol.-% Stickstoff, 21 Vol.-% Sauerstoff und 1 Vol.-% Spurengasen (Ar, CO2, Ne, He, ...) besteht. Am Markt etablierte Verfahren der Luftzerlegung sind das Linde-, das PSA- (pressure swing adsorption/Druckwechseladsorption) oder verschiedene Membran-Verfahren. Hierdurch werden die benötigten Gase entweder direkt vor Ort beim Verbraucher erzeugt (PSA- und Polymer-Membranverfahren: geringe Reinheiten) oder zentral in großen Anlagen hergestellt (Linde-Verfahren: hohe Reinheiten) und anschließend zum Verbraucher in Form von Flaschen- oder Tankgasen geliefert (Tansportkosten). Für kleinere Verbraucher mit hohen Ansprüchen an die Reinheit des benötigten Sauerstoffs beziehungsweise Stickstoffs ergibt sich nur die Möglichkeit, die Gase als kostenintensive Transportgase zentraler Gaseversorger zu beziehen und sich somit in eine Abhängigkeit (Lieferverträge, Flaschen-/Tankmieten, ...) zu diesen zu begeben sowie eine eigene Lagerhaltung für die benötigten Gase (Mehraufwand, Lagerkosten, Platzbedarf) zu betreiben. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, keramische Material-Systeme auf Basis chemischer Hochtemperatur-Reaktionen als Reaktive Oxidkeramiken zu entwickeln und diese hinsichtlich eines möglichen Einsatzes für die Sauerstoffseparation in neuartigen Luftzerlegungsanlagen zu untersuchen. Derartige Anlagen sollen in ihrem Prinzip an die regenerative Sauerstoffseparation angelehnt sein und in ihren Reaktoren die Reaktiven Oxidkeramiken als Festbett-Material abwechselnd mit Luft be- und Vakuum oder O2-armen Atmosphären entladen. Die Verwendung Reaktiver Oxidkeramiken, welche im Vergleich zu den bisherigen Materialien höhere Sauerstoffaustauschmengen und -raten bei gleichzeitig hoher Lebensdauer und Korrosionsbeständigkeit sowie relativ einfacher Handhabe aufweisen würden, soll ein Schritt in Richtung einer effizienten alternativen Luftzerlegungstechnologie sein. Mit den Reaktiven Oxidkeramiken in einer Luftzerlegungsanlage sollte es im besten Fall möglich sein, in kleinen Anlagen sehr reinen Sauerstoff und zugleich sauerstofffreies Inertgas zu erzeugen sowie eine Sauerstoffan- oder -abreicherung von Luft, Prozess- oder Abgasen zu generieren. Somit besäße eine solche, auf Reaktiven Oxidkeramiken basierende Technologie sehr weit gefächerte Einsatzgebiete und demzufolge ein enormes wirtschaftliches Potential.
