Um eine händische Bemessung zu ermöglichen, werden daher verschiedene Annahmen und Vereinfachungen getroffen. Insbesondere werden die thermischen Dehnungen vernachlässigt und das mechanische Verhalten durch einen verkleinerten Querschnitt mit konstanten Stoffeigenschaften beschrieben. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist, dieses vereinfachte Verfahren in ein nichtlineares Verfahren zur Heißbemessung von Stahlbetondruckgliedern bei Brandbeanspruchung durch die Einheits-Temperaturzeitkurve zu überführen. Dazu werden die wesentlichen Annahmen der Zonenmethode überprüft und ein Vorschlag zur Weiterentwicklung vorgestellt. Dieser beruht im Wesentlichen auf der Modellierung der druckbeanspruchten Bewehrung. Diese weiterentwickelte Zonenmethode wird durch die Nachrechnung von Laborversuchen validiert und das Sicherheitsniveau durch eine vollprobabilistische Analyse und den Vergleich mit dem allgemeinen Verfahren bestimmt.

The concept was transformed into a field study with four modules built and tested with synthetic gray water. Each module set contains a small and larger module with the same treatment substrate and was fed hourly. A combination of lightweight structural material and biochar of agricultural residues and wood chips was used as the treatment substrate. In this article, we present the first 18 weeks of operation. Regarding the treatment efficiency, the parameters chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorous (TP), ortho-phosphate (ortho-P), total bound nitrogen (TNb), ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N), and nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) were analyzed and are presented in this work. The results of the modules with agricultural residues are promising. Up to 92% COD reduction is stated in the data. The phosphate and nitrogen fractions are reduced significantly in these modules. By contrast, the modules with wood chips reduce only 67% of the incoming COD and respectively less regarding phosphates and the nitrogen fraction.

Die Gründe dafür liegen in unzureichenden Baufortschrittsinformationen und der Schwierigkeit, eine geeignete Steuerungsmaßnahme auszuwählen. In der Folge kommt es häufig zu Terminverzügen und Mehrkosten. Ziel der Arbeit war es, die realen Bau-Ist-Zustände eines Bauprojektes so genau zu erfassen, dass es möglich wird, täglich ein zutreffendes Abbild des Baufortschrittes und der Randbedingungen des Bauablaufes zu schaffen und mit Hilfe eines Simulationswerkzeuges nachzubilden. Zu diesem Zweck sollte ein Erfassungskonzept ausgearbeitet werden, mit dessen Hilfe unter Verwendung von Erfassungstechniken aussagekräftige sowie belastbare Daten zu einer auf die Anforderungen der Simulation abgestimmten Datenbasis zusammengeführt werden. Um der Zielstellung gerecht zu werden, wurde anhand eines Beispiels ein Prozessmodell aufgebaut und definiert, welche Informationen zum Aufbau eines Simulationsmodells, das die reaktive Ablaufplanung unterstützt, erfasst werden müssen. Die einzelnen Prozessgrößen wurden detailliert beschrieben und die Erfassungsgrößen daraus abgeleitet. Weiterhin wurden Aussagen zur Prozessstrukturierung erarbeitet. Somit wurden Informationsstützstellen definiert. Es wurden Methoden zur Erfassung des Bau-Ist-Zustandes hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung sowie Anwendungsmöglichkeiten analysiert und ausgewählte Anwendungsbeispiele für RFID, Barcodes und Bautagebücher dargestellt. Außerdem wurde betrachtet, welche Daten der baustelleneigenen Bauablaufdokumentation zur Belegung der Informationsstützstellen genutzt werden können. Diese Betrachtung stellte Dokumente in den Fokus, welche aufgrund von Vorschriften oder Vertragsbedingungen ohnehin auf Baustellen erfasst werden müssen. Schließlich wurden die vorangegangenen Betrachtungen hinsichtlich der Erfassungsgrößen und der Erfassungsmethoden in einem Erfassungskonzept zusammengeführt und eine geeignete Kombination von Erfassungsmethoden entwickelt. Der Baufortschritt soll anhand der Beschreibung, welchen Status die einzelnen Vorgänge angenommen haben, mit Hilfe eines digitalen Bautagebuchs erfasst werden. Die Randbedingungen, wie die Verfügbarkeit von Personal-, Material- und Geräteressourcen, werden mit Hilfe von RFID-Tags identifiziert, auf denen alle weiteren benötigten Informationen hinterlegt sind. Informationen über Ressourcen, welche geplante Termine wiedergeben, müssen ebenfalls im digitalen Bautagebuch hinterlegt und aktuell gehalten werden. Traditionelle Lieferscheine in Papierform müssen durch digitale Lieferscheine ersetzt werden. Abgeschlossen wurde die Ausarbeitung des Erfassungskonzeptes durch Ansätze, mit deren Hilfe der Erfassungsaufwand reduziert werden kann. Zu diesem Zweck wurde eine hierarchische Ordnung des Erfassungskonzeptes eingeführt.

These are usually expensive, time consuming, and cumbersome. To alleviate these issues, we propose applying a wave-based scheme for the location and quantification of damages in dams. To obtain high-resolution “interpretable” images of the damaged regions, we drew inspiration from non-linear full-multigrid methods for inverse problems and applied a new cyclic multi-stage full-waveform inversion (FWI) scheme. Our approach is less susceptible to the stability issues faced by the standard FWI scheme when dealing with ill-posed problems. In this paper, we first selected an optimal acquisition setup and then applied synthetic data to demonstrate the capability of our approach in identifying a series of anomalies in dams by a mixture of reflection and transmission tomography. The results had sufficient robustness, showing the prospects of application in the field of non-destructive testing of dams.

The proposed damage features overcome the limitation of frequency-based damage identification methods available in the literature, which are valid to detect damage in structures to Level 1 only. Changes in eigenfrequencies of cantilever structures are enough to identify possible local damage at Level 3, i.e., to cover damage detection, localization, and quantification.

Regarding climate loads, the safety levels of current design codes strongly reflect experiences based on former measurements and investigations assuming stationary conditions, i.e. involving constant frequencies and intensities. However, due to climate change, occurrence of corresponding extreme weather events is expected to alter in the future influencing the reliability and safety of structures and their components. Based on established approaches, a systematically refined data-driven methodology for the determination of design parameters considering nonstationarity as well as standardized targets of structural reliability or safety, respectively, is therefore proposed. The presented procedure picks up fundamentals of European standardization and extends them with respect to nonstationarity by applying a shifting time window method. Taking projected snow loads into account, the application of the method is exemplarily demonstrated and various influencing parameters are discussed.

They have remarkable mechanical behavior which is characterized by many phenomena, but most noticeably their fluid-like in-plane behavior and solid-like out-of-plane behavior. Vesicles have been studied in the context of discrete models, such as Molecular Dynamics, Monte Carlo methods, Dissipative Particle Dynamics, and Brownian Dynamics. Those methods, however, tend to have high computational costs, which limited their uses for studying atomistic details. In order to broaden the scope of this research, we resort to the continuum models, where the atomistic details of the vesicles are neglected, and the focus shifts to the overall morphological evolution. Under the umbrella of continuum models, vesicles morphology has been studied extensively. However, most of those studies were limited to the mechanical response of vesicles by considering only the bending energy and aiming for the solution by minimizing the total energy of the system. Most of the literature is divided between two geometrical representation methods; the sharp interface methods and the diffusive interface methods. Both of those methods track the boundaries and interfaces implicitly. In this research, we focus our attention on solving two non-trivial problems. In the first one, we study a constrained Willmore problem coupled with an electrical field, and in the second one, we investigate the hydrodynamics of a vesicle doublet suspended in an external viscous fluid flow. For the first problem, we solve a constrained Willmore problem coupled with an electrical field using isogeometric analysis to study the morphological evolution of vesicles subjected to static electrical fields. The model comprises two phases, the lipid bilayer, and the electrolyte. This two-phase problem is modeled using the phase-field method, which is a subclass of the diffusive interface methods mentioned earlier. The bending, flexoelectric, and dielectric energies of the model are reformulated using the phase-field parameter. A modified Augmented-Lagrangian (ALM) approach was used to satisfy the constraints while maintaining numerical stability and a relatively large time step. This approach guarantees the satisfaction of the constraints at each time step over the entire temporal domain. In the second problem, we study the hydrodynamics of vesicle doublet suspended in an external viscous fluid flow. Vesicles in this part of the research are also modeled using the phase-field model. The bending energy and energies associated with enforcing the global volume and area are considered. In addition, the local inextensibility condition is ensured by introducing an additional equation to the system. To prevent the vesicles from numerically overlapping, we deploy an interaction energy definition to maintain a short-range repulsion between the vesicles. The fluid flow is modeled using the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and the vesicle evolution in time is modeled using two advection equations describing the process of advecting each vesicle by the fluid flow. To overcome the velocity-pressure saddle point system, we apply the Residual-Based Variational MultiScale (RBVMS) method to the Navier-Stokes equations and solve the coupled systems using isogeometric analysis. We study vesicle doublet hydrodynamics in shear flow, planar extensional flow, and parabolic flow under various configurations and boundary conditions. The results reveal several interesting points about the electrodynamics and hydrodynamics responses of single vesicles and vesicle doublets. But first, it can be seen that isogeometric analysis as a numerical tool has the ability to model and solve 4th-order PDEs in a primal variational framework at extreme efficiency and accuracy due to the abilities embedded within the NURBS functions without the need to reduce the order of the PDE by creating an intermediate environment. Refinement whether by knot insertion, order increasing or both is far easier to obtain than traditional mesh-based methods. Given the wide variety of phenomena in natural sciences and engineering that are mathematically modeled by high-order PDEs, the isogeometric analysis is among the most robust methods to address such problems as the basis functions can easily attain high global continuity. On the applicational side, we study the vesicle morphological evolution based on the electromechanical liquid-crystal model in 3D settings. This model describing the evolution of vesicles is composed of time-dependent, highly nonlinear, high-order PDEs, which are nontrivial to solve. Solving this problem requires robust numerical methods, such as isogeometric analysis. We concluded that the vesicle tends to deform under increasing magnitudes of electric fields from the original sphere shape to an oblate-like shape. This evolution is affected by many factors and requires fine-tuning of several parameters, mainly the regularization parameter which controls the thickness of the diffusive interface width. But it is most affected by the method used for enforcing the constraints. The penalty method in presence of an electrical field tends to lock on the initial phase-field and prevent any evolution while a modified version of the ALM has proven to be sufficiently stable and accurate to let the phase-field evolve while satisfying the constraints over time at each time step. We show additionally the effect of including the flexoelectric nature of the Biomembranes in the computation and how it affects the shape evolution as well as the effect of having different conductivity ratios. All the examples were solved based on a staggered scheme, which reduces the computational cost significantly. For the second part of the research, we consider vesicle doublet suspended in a shear flow, in a planar extensional flow, and in a parabolic flow. When the vesicle doublet is suspended in a shear flow, it can either slip past each other or slide on top of each other based on the value of the vertical displacement, that is the vertical distance between the center of masses between the two vesicles, and the velocity profile applied. When the vesicle doublet is suspended in a planar extensional flow in a configuration that resembles a junction, the time in which both vesicles separate depends largely on the value of the vertical displacement after displacing as much fluid from between the two vesicles. However, when the vesicles are suspended in a tubular channel with a parabolic fluid flow, they develop a parachute-like shape upon converging towards each other before exiting the computational domain from the predetermined outlets. This shape however is affected largely by the height of the tubular channel in which the vesicle is suspended. The velocity essential boundary conditions are imposed weakly and strongly. The weak implementation of the boundary conditions was used when the velocity profile was defined on the entire boundary, while the strong implementation was used when the velocity profile was defined on a part of the boundary. The strong implementation of the essential boundary conditions was done by selectively applying it to the predetermined set of elements in a parallel-based code. This allowed us to simulate vesicle hydrodynamics in a computational domain with multiple inlets and outlets. We also investigate the hydrodynamics of oblate-like shape vesicles in a parabolic flow. This work has been done in 2D configuration because of the immense computational load resulting from a large number of degrees of freedom, but we are actively seeking to expand it to 3D settings and test a broader set of parameters and geometrical configurations.

This modulus is typically associated with shear strain levels about 5*10^-3% and below. The critical role of soil stiffness at small-strains in the design and analysis of geotechnical infrastructure is now widely accepted. Gmax is a key parameter in small-strain dynamic analyses such as those to predict soil behavior or soil-structure interaction during earthquake, explosions, machine or traffic vibration where it is necessary to know how the shear modulus degrades from its small-strain value as the level of shear strain increases. Gmax can be equally important for small-strain cyclic situations such as those caused by wind or wave loading and for small-strain static situations as well. Gmax may also be used as an indirect indication of various soil parameters, as it, in many cases, correlates well to other soil properties such as density and sample disturbance. In recent years, a technique using bender elements was developed to investigate the small-strain shear modulus Gmax. The objective of this thesis is to study the initial shear stiffness for various sands with different void ratios, densities, grain size distribution under dry and saturated conditions, then to compare empirical equations to predict Gmax and results from other testing devices with results of bender elements from this study.

The string taut theory provides a simple definition of the relationship between natural frequencies and the tension force of a cable. However, this theory assumes a perfectly flexible non-sagging cable pinned at its ends. These assumptions do not reflect all cases, especially when the cable is short, under low tension forces or the supports are partially flexible. Extradosed bridges, which are distinguished from cable-stayed bridges by their low pylon height, have shorter cables. Therefore the application of the conventional string taut theory to identify cable forces on extradosed bridge cables might be inadequate to identify cable forces. In this work, numerical modelling of an extradosed bridge cable saddled on a circular deviator at pylon is conducted. The model is validated with the catenary analytical solution and its static and dynamic behaviours are studied. The effect of a saddle support is found to positively affect the cable stiffness by geometric means; longer saddle radius increases the cable stiffness by suppressing the deformations near the saddle. Further, accounting the effects of bending stiffness in the numerical model by using beam elements show considerable deviation from models with truss elements (i.e. zero bending stiffness). This deviation is manifested when comparing the static and dynamic properties. This motivates a more thorough study of bending stiffness effects on short cables. Bending stiffness effects are studied using two rods connected with several springs along their length. Under bending moments, the springs resist the rods' relative axial displacement by the springs' transverse component. This concept is used to identify bending stiffness values by utilizing the parallel axis theorem to quantify ratios of the second moment of area. These ratios are calculated based on the setup of the springs (e.g. number of springs per unit length, transverse stiffness, etc...). The numerical model based on this concept agrees well with the theoretical values computed using upper and lower bounds of the parallel axis theorem. The proposed concept of quantifying ratios of the second moment of area using springs as connection between cable rods is applied on an actual extradosed bridge geometry. The model is examined by comparison to the previously validated global numerical model. The two models showed good correlation under various changing parameters. This allowed further study of the effects of stick/slip behaviour between cable rods on an actual bridge geometry.

For current problems, this method provides a faster, more flexible solution than the analytic approach. Prognoses of complex engineer problems that used to be almost impossible to solve are now feasible. Although the finite element method is a robust tool, it leads to new questions about engineering solutions. Among these new problems, it is possible to divide into two major groups: the first group is regarding computer performance; the second one is related to understanding the digital solution. Simultaneously with the development of the finite element method for numerical solutions, a theory between beam theory and shell theory was developed: Generalized Beam Theory, GBT. This theory has not only a systematic and analytical clear presentation of complicated structural problems, but also a compact and elegant calculation approach that can improve computer performance. Regrettably, GBT was not internationally known since the most publications of this theory were written in German, especially in the first years. Only in recent years, GBT has gradually become a fertile research topic, with developments from linear to non-linear analysis. Another reason for the misuse of GBT is the isolated application of the theory. Although recently researches apply finite element method to solve the GBT's problems numerically, the coupling between finite elements of GBT and other theories (shell, solid, etc) is not the subject of previous research. Thus, the main goal of this dissertation is the coupling between GBT and shell/membrane elements. Consequently, one achieves the benefits of both sides: the versatility of shell elements with the high performance of GBT elements. Based on the assumptions of GBT, this dissertation presents how the separation of variables leads to two calculation's domains of a beam structure: a cross-section modal analysis and the longitudinal amplification axis. Therefore, there is the possibility of applying the finite element method not only in the cross-section analysis, but also the development for an exact GBT's finite element in the longitudinal direction. For the cross-section analysis, this dissertation presents the solution of the quadratic eigenvalue problem with an original separation between plate and membrane mechanism. Subsequently, one obtains a clearer representation of the deformation mode, as well as a reduced quadratic eigenvalue problem. Concerning the longitudinal direction, this dissertation develops the novel exact elements, based on hyperbolic and trigonometric shape functions. Although these functions do not have trivial expressions, they provide a recursive procedure that allows periodic derivatives to systematise the development of stiffness matrices. Also, these shape functions enable a single-element discretisation of the beam structure and ensure a smooth stress field. From these developments, this dissertation achieves the formulation of its primary objective: the connection of GBT and shell elements in a mixed model. Based on the displacement field, it is possible to define the coupling equations applied in the master-slave method. Therefore, one can model the structural connections and joints with finite shell elements and the structural beams and columns with GBT finite element. As a side effect, the coupling equations limit the displacement field of the shell elements under the assumptions of GBT, in particular in the neighbourhood of the coupling cross-section. Although these side effects are almost unnoticeable in linear analysis, they lead to cumulative errors in non-linear analysis. Therefore, this thesis finishes with the evaluation of the mixed GBT-shell models in non-linear analysis.

The ability to assess the long-term impact of urban planning decisions on what people do and how they get there is of central importance, with various disciplines addressing this topic. This study focuses on approaches proposed by urban morphologists, urban economists, and transportation planners, each aiming the attention at a different part of the form-activity-movement interaction. Even though there is no doubt about the advantages of these highly focused approaches, it remains unclear what is the cost of ignoring the effect of some interactions while considering others. The general aim of this dissertation is to empirically test the validity of the individual models and quantify the impact of this isolationist approach on their precision and bias. For this purpose, we propose a joined form-activity-movement interaction model and conduct an empirical study in Weimar, Germany. We estimate how the urban form and activities affect movement as well as how movement and urban form affect activities. By estimating these effects in isolation and simultaneously, we assess the bias of the individual models. On the one hand, the empirical study results confirm the significance of all interactions suggested by the individual models. On the other hand, we were able to show that when these interactions are estimated in isolation, the resulting predictions are biased. To conclude, we do not question the knowledge brought by transportation planners, urban morphologists, and urban economists. However, we argue that it might be of little use on its own. We see the relevance of this study as being twofold. On the one hand, we proposed a novel methodological framework for the simultaneous estimation of the form-activity-movement interactions. On the other hand, we provide empirical evidence about the strengths and limitations of current approaches.

In this paper, we investigated the trade-offs between social, psychological, and energy potential of the fundamental elements of urban form: the street network and the building massing. Since formal mehods to evaluate urban form from the psychological and social point of view are not readily available, we developed a methodological framework to quantify these criteria as the first contribution in this paper. To evaluate the psychological potential, we conducted a three-tiered empirical study starting from real world environments and then abstracting them to virtual environments. In each context, the implicit (physiological) response and explicit (subjective) response of pedestrians were measured. To quantify the social potential, we developed a street network centrality-based measure of social accessibility. For the energy potential, we created an energy model to analyze the impact of pure geometric form on the energy demand of the building stock. The second contribution of this work is a method to identify distinct clusters of urban form and, for each, explore the trade-offs between the select design criteria. We applied this method to two case studies identifying nine types of urban form and their respective potential trade-offs, which are directly applicable for the assessment of strategic decisions regarding urban form during the early planning stages.

Es stellte sich heraus, dass die Fuzzy-Methode ein geeignetes Werkzeug sein könnte, die Teilprozesse auf die Möglichkeit ihrer Parallelisierung hin zu untersuchen. Um diese Theorie zu testen, wurde auf den Grundlagen von Arbeiten der Professur Baubetrieb und Bauverfahren der Prozess näher analysiert und unterstützend durch eigene Recherchen ein UML-Diagramm erstellt, welches als Aktivitätsdiagramm ausgebildet wurde. Aufbauend auf diesem Ablauf und den gewonnenen Kenntnissen zur Herstellung einer Brückenkappe, konnten die einzelnen Prozesse zu Teilprozessen, sogenannten Bausteinen, zusammengefasst werden. Diese Bausteine sind entstanden, um die Simulation möglich zu machen, indem der Ablauf weniger komplex wird und nur die Prozesse zu beurteilen sind, die beeinflusst bzw. in ihrer Reihenfolge bis zu einem gewissen Grad variabel sind. Eine erleichterte Interaktion mit den Bausteinen und deren Überführung in ein Simulationsprogramm wurde über Templates realisiert. So besitzt jeder Baustein eine einheitliche Struktur. Unter anderem beinhalten die Bausteine die jeweiligen Ressourcen und Parameter, sowie die Abhängigkeiten der Prozesse untereinander und die zugehörige Priorität. Zur Entscheidungsfindung wurde die Fuzzylogik herangezogen und die Problemstellung der Parallelisierung zum Ziel gesetzt. Die Realisierung wurde über einen Entscheidungsbaum und das daraus resultierende Regelwerk erreicht. Somit ließen sich, ausgehend von einem festgelegten Prozess und durch die Fuzzifizierung der Eingangsparameter Priorität, Prozessdauer und Verfügbarkeit der Ressourcen und Arbeitskräfte, verschiedene Pfade identifizieren, allerdings nur in Verbindung mit den vorher analysierten Abhängigkeiten. Für jeden der Eingangsparameter wurden so Fuzzy-Sets erstellt. Über den Entscheidungsbaum, welcher mit den linguistischen Variablen versehen wurde, konnte über sogenannte "und" - Verknüpfungen das Regelwerk aufgestellt werden. Das gekürzte Regelwerk in dieser Arbeit beinhaltet grundsätzlich nur die Regeln, die auch zu einer wirklichen Entscheidung führen. Daraus folgt, dass es möglich ist mittels der Fuzzy-Methode eine Entscheidung darüber zu fällen, ob zwei Prozesse zu parallelisieren sind oder nicht und aufgetretene Verzögerungen wieder eingeholt werden können.

Conventional machine learning has a strong dependence on massive amounts of training data which are domain specific to understand their latent patterns. In contrast, Domain adaptation and Transfer learning methods are sub-fields within machine learning that are concerned with solving the inescapable problem of insufficient training data by relaxing the domain dependence hypothesis. In this contribution, this issue has been addressed and by making a novel combination of both the methods we develop a computationally efficient and practical algorithm to solve boundary value problems based on nonlinear partial differential equations. We adopt a meshfree analysis framework to integrate the prevailing geometric modelling techniques based on NURBS and present an enhanced deep collocation approach that also plays an important role in the accuracy of solutions. We start with a brief introduction on how these methods expand upon this framework. We observe an excellent agreement between these methods and have shown that how fine-tuning a pre-trained network to a specialized domain may lead to an outstanding performance compare to the existing ones. As proof of concept, we illustrate the performance of our proposed model on several benchmark problems.

Such unstable interaction can be beneficially used for small-scale aeroelastic energy harvesting. Proper understanding and prediction of fluid−structure interactions (FSI) phenomena are therefore crucial in many engineering fields. This research intends to develop coupled FSI models to extend the applicability of Vortex Particle Methods (VPM) for numerically analysing the complex FSI of thin-walled flexible structures under steady and fluctuating incoming flows. In this context, the flow around deforming thin bodies is analysed using the two-dimensional and pseudo-three-dimensional implementations of VPM. The structural behaviour is modelled and analysed using the Finite Element Method. The partitioned coupling approach is considered because of the flexibility of using different mathematical procedures for solving fluid and solid mechanics. The developed coupled models are validated with several benchmark FSI problems in the literature. Finally, the models are applied to several fundamental and application field of FSI problems of different thin-walled flexible structures irrespective of their size.

However, uncertainties for individual structures can be better examined by incorporating measurement data provided by sensors from an installed health monitoring scheme. In this context, the current study proposes an approach to revise the partial safety factor for existing structures on the action side, γE by integrating Bayesian model updating. A simple numerical example of a beam-like structure with artificially generated measurement data is used such that the influence of different sensor setups and data uncertainties on revising the safety factors can be investigated. It is revealed that the health monitoring system can reassess the current capacity reserve of the structure by updating the design safety factors, resulting in a better life cycle assessment of structures. The outcome is furthermore verified by analysing a real life small railway steel bridge ensuring the applicability of the proposed method to practical applications.

The behaviour of bolted connections is often complex and plays a significant role in the overall dynamic characteristics of the structure. The goal of this work is to conduct a fatigue lifecycle assessment of such a bolted connection block of a 193 m tall TV tower, for which 205 days of real measurement data have been obtained from the installed monitoring devices. Based on the recorded data, the best-fit stochastic wind distribution for 50 years, the decisive wind action, and the locations to carry out the fatigue analysis have been decided. A 3D beam model of the entire tower is developed to extract the nodal forces corresponding to the connection block location under various mean wind speeds, which is later coupled with a detailed complex finite element model of the connection block, with over three million degrees of freedom, for acquiring stress histories on some pre-selected bolts. The random stress histories are analysed using the rainflow counting algorithm (RCA) and the damage is estimated using Palmgren-Miner's damage accumulation law. A modification is proposed to integrate the loading sequence effect into the RCA, which otherwise is ignored, and the differences between the two RCAs are investigated in terms of the accumulated damage.

The phenomenon often occurs in long and slender vertical structure like high rise building, tower, chimney or bridge pylon, which resulting in unfavorable responses and might lead to the collapse of the structures. The phenomenon appears when frequency of vortex shedding produced in the wake area of body meet the natural frequency of the structure. Even though this phenomenon does not necessarily generate a divergent amplitude response, the structure still may fail due to fatigue damage. To reduce the effect of vortex induced vibration, engineers widely use passive vibration response control system. In this case, the thesis studies the effect of tuned mass damper. The objective of this thesis is to simulate the effect of tuned mass damper in reducing unfavorable responses due to vortex induced vibration and initiated by numerical model validation with respect to wind tunnel test report. The reference structure that being used inside the thesis is Stonecutter Bridge, Hongkong. A numerical solver for computational uid dynamics named VX ow which developed by Morgenthal [6] is utilized for wind and structure simulation. The comparison between numerical model and wind tunnel result shows 10% maximum tip displacement diference in the model of full erection freestanding tower. The tuned mass damper (TMD) model itself built separately in finite element software SOFiSTiK, and the efective damping obtained from this model then applied inside input modal data of VX ow simulation. A single TMD with mass ratio of TMD 0.5% to the mass of first bending frequency, the maximum tip displacement is measured to be average 67% reduced. Considering construction limitation and robustness of TMD, the effects of multiple TMD inside a structure are also studied. An uncoupled procedure of applying aeroelastic loads obtained from VX ow inside finite element software SOFiSTiK is also done to observe the optimum distribution and optimum mass ratio of multiple tuned mass damper. The rest of the properties of TMD are calculated with Den Hartog's formula. The results are as follows: peak displacement in the case of multiple TMD that distributed with polynomial spacing achieve 7.8% more reduction performance than the one that distributed with equal spacing. Optimum mass of tuned mass damper achieved with ratio 1.25% mass of first bending frequency corresponds to across wind direction.

The recent research on application of BIM in scheduling has focused on quantity take-off, duration estimation for individual trades, schedule visualization, and clash detection. Several experiments indicated that the lack of detailed planning causes about 30% non-productive time and stacking of trades. However, detailed planning still has not been implemented in practice despite receiving a lot of interest from researchers. The reason is associated with the huge amount and complexity of input data. In order to create a detailed planning, it is time consuming to manually decompose activities, collect and calculate the detailed information in relevant. Moreover, the coordination of detailed activities requires much effort for dealing with their complex constraints. This dissertation aims to support the generation of detailed schedules from a rough schedule. It proposes a model for automated detailing of 4D schedules by integrating BIM, simulation and Pareto-based optimization.

The present study proposes an extreme learning machine (ELM) and a support vector machine (SVM) integrated with the response surface methodology (RSM) to solve the complexity in optimization and prediction of the ethyl ester and methyl ester production process. The novel hybrid models of ELM-RSM and ELM-SVM are further used as a case study to estimate the yield of methyl and ethyl esters through a trans-esterification process from waste cooking oil (WCO) based on American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. The results of the prediction phase were also compared with artificial neural networks (ANNs) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), which were recently developed by the second author of this study. Based on the results, an ELM with a correlation coefficient of 0.9815 and 0.9863 for methyl and ethyl esters, respectively, had a high estimation capability compared with that for SVM, ANNs, and ANFIS. Accordingly, the maximum production yield was obtained in the case of using ELM-RSM of 96.86% for ethyl ester at a temperature of 68.48 °C, a catalyst value of 1.15 wt. %, mixing intensity of 650.07 rpm, and an alcohol to oil molar ratio (A/O) of 5.77; for methyl ester, the production yield was 98.46% at a temperature of 67.62 °C, a catalyst value of 1.1 wt. %, mixing intensity of 709.42 rpm, and an A/O of 6.09. Therefore, ELM-RSM increased the production yield by 3.6% for ethyl ester and 3.1% for methyl ester, compared with those for the experimental data.

Vorhandene Ressourcen, beispielsweise in Form eines Bauwerksinformationsmodells, die Unterstützung bei der Baugenehmigungsfeststellung bieten können, werden nicht ausgeschöpft. Um mit digitalen Werkzeugen eine Entscheidungshilfe für die Baugenehmigungsbehörden zu erarbeiten, ist es notwendig, den Ist-Zustand zu verstehen und Gegebenheiten zu hinterfragen, bevor eine Gesamtautomatisierung der innerbehördlichen Vorgänge als alleinige Lösung zu verfolgen ist. Mit einer inhaltlich-organisatorischen Betrachtung der relevanten Bereiche, die Einfluss auf die Baugenehmigungsfeststellung nehmen, wird eine Optimierung des Baugenehmigungsverfahrens in den Behörden angestrebt. Es werden die komplexen Bereiche, wie die Gesetzeslage, der Einsatz von Technologie aber auch die subjektiven Handlungsalternativen, ermittelt und strukturiert. Mit der Entwicklung eines Modells zur Feststellung der Baugenehmigungsfähigkeit wird sowohl ein Verständnis für Einflussfaktoren vermittelt als auch eine Transparenzsteigerung für alle Beteiligten geschaffen. Neben einer internationalen Literaturrecherche diente eine empirische Studie als Untersuchungsmethode. Die empirische Studie wurde in Form von qualitativen Experteninterviews durchgeführt, um den Ist-Zustand im Bereich der Baugenehmigungsverfahren festzustellen. Das erhobene Datenmaterial wurde aufbereitet und anschließend einer softwaregestützten Inhaltsanalyse unterzogen. Die Ergebnisse wurden in Kombination mit den Erkenntnissen der Literaturrecherche in verschiedenen Analysen als Modellgrundlage aufgearbeitet. Ergebnis der Untersuchung stellt ein Entscheidungsmodell dar, welches eine Lücke zwischen den gegenwärtigen Abläufen in den Baubehörden und einer Gesamtautomatisierung der Baugenehmigungsprüfung schließt.

N2 - In recent years, the debate on digitization has been a topic of discussion in the media, at conferences and in committees of the construction and real estate industry. While some areas are producing innovations and some actors can be called pioneers, others still have deficits with regard to the digital transformation. The building permit process can also be considered among this category. Regardless of how architects and engineers use innovative methods in the planning offices, building applications are still often in paper form or are printed out after electronic submission to the authorities. Existing resources, for example in the form of a building information model, which can provide support in obtaining building permits, are not being utilized. In order to develop a decision support for the building authorities with digital tools, it is necessary to understand the actual conditions and to question the circumstances before an overall automation of the internal official processes can be pursued as the sole solution. With a content-based organizational view of the relevant components, which take influence on the building permit determination, an optimization of the building permit procedure in the authorities is aimed at. The complex components, such as the legal situation, the use of technology, but also the subjective alternatives for action, have to be determined and structured. The development of a model for determining building permit ability provides both an understanding of influencing factors and an increase in transparency for all parties involved. In addition to an international literature review, an empirical study served as a method of investigation. The empirical study was conducted in the form of qualitative expert interviews to determine the current state in the field of building permit procedures. The collected data material was prepared and subjected to a software-supported content analysis. In combination with the results of the literature review, the results were processed in various analyses as a model basis. The result of the investigation represents a decision model which closes a gap between the current processes at the building authorities and an overall automation of the building permit review. The process-oriented structuring of decision-relevant factors in the model enables support for the reviewers and the applicants during the building permit assessment.

ER - TY - THES A1 - Ghasemi, Hamid T1 - Stochastic optimization of fiber reinforced composites considering uncertainties N2 - Briefly, the two basic questions that this research is supposed to answer are: 1. Howmuch fiber is needed and how fibers should be distributed through a fiber reinforced composite (FRC) structure in order to obtain the optimal and reliable structural response? 2. How do uncertainties influence the optimization results and reliability of the structure? Giving answer to the above questions a double stage sequential optimization algorithm for finding the optimal content of short fiber reinforcements and their distribution in the composite structure, considering uncertain design parameters, is presented. In the first stage, the optimal amount of short fibers in a FRC structure with uniformly distributed fibers is conducted in the framework of a Reliability Based Design Optimization (RBDO) problem. Presented model considers material, structural and modeling uncertainties. In the second stage, the fiber distribution optimization (with the aim to further increase in structural reliability) is performed by defining a fiber distribution function through a Non-Uniform Rational BSpline (NURBS) surface. The advantages of using the NURBS surface as a fiber distribution function include: using the same data set for the optimization and analysis; high convergence rate due to the smoothness of the NURBS; mesh independency of the optimal layout; no need for any post processing technique and its non-heuristic nature. The output of stage 1 (the optimal fiber content for homogeneously distributed fibers) is considered as the input of stage 2. The output of stage 2 is the Reliability Index (b ) of the structure with the optimal fiber content and distribution. First order reliability method (in order to approximate the limit state function) as well as different material models including Rule of Mixtures, Mori-Tanaka, energy-based approach and stochastic multi-scales are implemented in different examples. The proposed combined model is able to capture the role of available uncertainties in FRC structures through a computationally efficient algorithm using all sequential, NURBS and sensitivity based techniques. The methodology is successfully implemented for interfacial shear stress optimization in sandwich beams and also for optimization of the internal cooling channels in a ceramic matrix composite. Finally, after some changes and modifications by combining Isogeometric Analysis, level set and point wise density mapping techniques, the computational framework is extended for topology optimization of piezoelectric / flexoelectric materials.

In this approach, the sharp crack surface topology in a solid is approximated by a diffusive crack zone governed by a scalar auxiliary variable. The uniqueness of phase field modeling is that the crack paths are automatically determined as part of the solution and no interface tracking is required. The damage parameter varies continuously over the domain. But this flexibility comes with associated difficulties: (1) a very fine spatial discretization is required to represent sharp local gradients correctly; (2) fine discretization results in high computational cost; (3) computation of higher-order derivatives for improved convergence rates and (4) curse of dimensionality in conventional numerical integration techniques. As a consequence, the practical applicability of phase field models is severely limited. The research presented in this thesis addresses the difficulties of the conventional numerical integration techniques for phase field modeling in quasi-static brittle fracture analysis. The first method relies on polynomial splines over hierarchical T-meshes (PHT-splines) in the framework of isogeometric analysis (IGA). An adaptive h-refinement scheme is developed based on the variational energy formulation of phase field modeling. The fourth-order phase field model provides increased regularity in the exact solution of the phase field equation and improved convergence rates for numerical solutions on a coarser discretization, compared to the second-order model. However, second-order derivatives of the phase field are required in the fourth-order model. Hence, at least a minimum of C1 continuous basis functions are essential, which is achieved using hierarchical cubic B-splines in IGA. PHT-splines enable the refinement to remain local at singularities and high gradients, consequently reducing the computational cost greatly. Unfortunately, when modeling complex geometries, multiple parameter spaces (patches) are joined together to describe the physical domain and there is typically a loss of continuity at the patch boundaries. This decrease of smoothness is dictated by the geometry description, where C0 parameterizations are normally used to deal with kinks and corners in the domain. Hence, the application of the fourth-order model is severely restricted. To overcome the high computational cost for the second-order model, we develop a dual-mesh adaptive h-refinement approach. This approach uses a coarser discretization for the elastic field and a finer discretization for the phase field. Independent refinement strategies have been used for each field. The next contribution is based on physics informed deep neural networks. The network is trained based on the minimization of the variational energy of the system described by general non-linear partial differential equations while respecting any given law of physics, hence the name physics informed neural network (PINN). The developed approach needs only a set of points to define the geometry, contrary to the conventional mesh-based discretization techniques. The concept of `transfer learning' is integrated with the developed PINN approach to improve the computational efficiency of the network at each displacement step. This approach allows a numerically stable crack growth even with larger displacement steps. An adaptive h-refinement scheme based on the generation of more quadrature points in the damage zone is developed in this framework. For all the developed methods, displacement-controlled loading is considered. The accuracy and the efficiency of both methods are studied numerically showing that the developed methods are powerful and computationally efficient tools for accurately predicting fractures.

A time consuming and human intensive necessity is the maintenance of high hygiene quality in care homes. Robotic vacuum cleaners have been proven effective for doing the job elsewhere, but—in the context of care homes—are counterproductive for residents’ well-being and do not get accepted. This is because people with dementia manifest their agency in more implicit and emotional ways, while making sense of the world around them. Starting from these premises, we explored how a zoomorphic designed vacuum cleaner could better accommodate the sensemaking of people with dementia. Our design reconceptualises robotic vacuum cleaners as a cat-like robot, referring to a playful behaviour and appearance to communicate a non-threatening and familiar role model. Data from an observational study shows that residents responded positively to our prototype, as most of them engaged playfully with it as if it was a pet or a cat-like toy, for example luring it with gestures. Some residents simply ignored the robot, indicating that it was not perceived as frightening or annoying. The level of activity influenced reactions; residents ignored our prototype if busy with other occupations, which proves that it did not cause significant disturbance. We further report results from focus group sessions with formal and informal caregivers who discussed a video prototype of our robot. Caregivers encouraged us to enhance the animal like characteristics (in behaviour and materiality) even further to result in richer interactions and provoke haptic pleasure but also pointed out that residents should not mistake the robot for a real cat.

This approach utilizes a physics-informed neural network with material transfer learning reducing the solution of the non-homogeneous partial differential equations to an optimization problem. We tested different configurations of the physics-informed neural network including smooth activation functions, sampling methods for collocation points generation and combined optimizers. A material transfer learning technique is utilized for non-homogeneous media with different material gradations and parameters, which enhance the generality and robustness of the proposed method. In order to identify the most influential parameters of the network configuration, we carried out a global sensitivity analysis. Finally, we provide a convergence proof of our DCM. The approach is validated through several benchmark problems, also testing different material variations.

Hybridtechnologien kommen immer dann zum Einsatz, wenn die ausschließliche Nutzung einer Technologie oder eines Werkstoffs nicht zum gewünschten Ergebnis führt. Dann kann durch Kombination unterschiedlicher Werkstoffe oder Technologien ein System geschaffen werden, das in seiner Konfiguration ein Optimum an Eigenschaften darstellt. Im Bauwesen geht die Entwicklung schon seit jeher in Richtung von immer schlankeren ar-chitektonisch ansprechenden Konstruktionen. In der gegenwärtigen Entwicklung ermöglichen hochtechnologische Kunststoffe und Faserwerkstoffe, wie z. B. Kohlenstofffasern, sehr schlanke, leichte und dennoch hochtragfähiger Konstruktionen. Der wirtschaftliche Aspekt bei der Entwicklung von Tragsystemen bzw. -strukturen erfordert dabei in fast allen Fällen eine kostengünstig effiziente Ausbildung und die Optimierung von Trageigenschaften und Kostenfaktoren. Daher besteht oft die Anforderung nach einem Verbundsystem, bei dem unterschiedliche Materialien in der Art miteinander kombiniert werden, dass jeder Werkstoff für eine bestimmte Beanspruchung angeordnet wird und sein Tragfähigkeitspotenzial optimal ausschöpft. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden an konkreten Beispielen Möglichkeiten aufge-zeigt, Hochtechnologiewerkstoffe in effizienter Art und Weise zu nutzen. Der Kunststoff-Faser-Verbundwerkstoff stellt eine Möglichkeit dar, den als solches nur für dünnschichtige Klebverbindungen nutzbaren Klebstoff in seinen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten zu erweitern. Die Fasern wirken dabei dem mechanischen Schwachpunkt des Klebstoffs, einer nur geringen Zugfestigkeit, effektiv entgegen. Mit faserverstärkten Klebstoff können Anwendungen realisiert werden, bei denen der Klebstoff auch zur Zugkraftübertragung ge-nutzt wird. Zusätzlich bieten Füllstoffe eine Möglichkeit, die Steifigkeit des Klebstoffs zu stei-gern, was für viele mechanischen Beanspruchungen Vorteile mit sich bringt. Die Kombination aus einem partikelgefüllten und zusätzlich faserverstärkten Klebstoff führt zu einem Ver-bundwerkstoff, der für viele unterschiedliche Anwendungen geeignet ist. Praktische Anwen-dungsmöglichkeiten finden sich in der Herstellung von Fassadenelementen, wo der faserver-stärkte Klebstoff zur Verbindung von Aluminiumhohlprofilen verwendet wird. Weitere Anwen-dungsgebiete erstrecken sich auf die Zugkraftbewehrung von Betontragelementen, bei denen der faserverstärkte Klebstoff die Rolle einer Zugbewehrung an der Betonoberfläche übernimmt. Alu-CFK-Hybridelemente ermöglichen die Herstellung sehr effizienter Tragsysteme, bei de-nen Gewichtsreduzierung der Tragstruktur und Kosteneinsparungen im Betrieb des Bauwerks gleichermaßen ermöglicht werden. Die CFK-Lamellen werden dabei in den am stärksten längskraftbeanspruchten Bereichen eines Aluminiumtragelementes angeordnet, wodurch sich die Biegetragfähigkeit des dann hybriden Tragelements signifikant erhöht. In der Folge können Gewichtsreduzierungen, verglichen mit herkömmlichen Aluminiumtragelementen, erzielt werden. Weiterhin können die Querschnittsaußenmaße bei Alu-CFK-Hybridelementen deutlich reduziert werden. In der Folge vereinfachen sich der Transport und die Montage dieser Art Tragwerke, was besonders bei fliegenden Bauten einen wesentlichen Vorteil dar-stellt. Der Einsatz von Glas-Kunststoff-Hybridelementen ermöglicht die Konstruktion transparenter Tragstrukturen in einer optisch einzigartigen Qualität. Die Konstruktion eines Glas-Kunststoff-Hybridelementes ermöglicht ein redundant wirkendes Tragverhalten, bei dem die Steifigkeit und optische Qualität des Glases optimal im Tragsystem genutzt werden können. Der Kunst-stoff stellt eine Art Sicherheitselement dar und übernimmt im Falle eines Glasbruchs die Tragwirkung des Glases. Die Eigenschaft der Vorankündigung eines Systemversagens stellt die Grundlage für eine baupraktische Anwendung des Glas-Kunststoff-Hybridelementes als statisches Tragsystem dar. Durch die Redundanz des Tragverhaltens von Glas-Kunststoff-Hybridelementen ist das Versagen dieser Tragstruktur durch optische oder strukturelle An-zeichen erkennbar und eine Bemessung somit möglich. Für die mechanische Analyse grundlegender Zusammenhänge in Hybridsystemen können ingenieurmäßige, analytische und numerische Betrachtungen durchgeführt werden. Die in-genieurmäßigen Betrachtungen sind sehr gut geeignet, um Abschätzungen zu treffen, die in später durchgeführten experimentellen Bauteiluntersuchungen oft auch ihre Bestätigung fan-den. Bei Detailbetrachtungen, wie z. B. der Analyse eines nichtlinearen Spannungsverlaufes in mechanisch beanspruchten Klebfugen, bietet eine numerische Betrachtung mittels FEM Vorteile, da sie eine sehr detaillierte Auswertung in Bereichen mit hohen Spannungsgradien-ten ermöglicht. Durch die Anwendung der FEM ist es möglich, Strukturen in unterschiedlichen Skalierungsbereichen zu analysieren und dabei auch Bereiche einzubeziehen, die für experimentelle Untersuchungen nur sehr schwer zugänglich sind. Genaue Kenntnisse über das Materialverhalten der zu analysierenden Stoffe stellen dabei eine wesentliche Grundlage für die Erstellung qualitativ hochwertiger Rechenmodelle dar.

Although these methods provide a very good approximation of the deformations, they require a higher degree of discretization which causes high computational costs. On the other hand, the analysis of thin-walled circular pipe members based on classical beam theories is easy to implement and needs much less computation time, however, they are limited in their ability to approximate the deformations as they cannot consider the deformation of the cross-section. This dissertation focuses on the study of the Generalized Beam Theory (GBT) which is both accurate and efficient in analyzing thin-walled members. This theory is based on the separation of variables in which the displacement field is expressed as a combination of predetermined deformation modes related to the cross-section, and unknown amplitude functions defined on the beam's longitudinal axis. Although the GBT was initially developed for long straight members, through the consideration of complementary deformation modes, which amend the null transverse and shear membrane strain assumptions of the classical GBT, problems involving short members, pipe bends, and geometrical nonlinearity can also be analyzed using GBT. In this dissertation, the GBT formulation for the analysis of these problems is developed and the application and capabilities of the method are illustrated using several numerical examples. Furthermore, the displacement and stress field results of these examples are verified using an equivalent refined shell-based finite element model. The developed static and dynamic GBT formulations for curved thin-walled circular pipes are based on the linear kinematic description of the curved shell theory. In these formulations, the complex problem in pipe bends due to the strong coupling effect of the longitudinal bending, warping and the cross-sectional ovalization is handled precisely through the derivation of the coupling tensors between the considered GBT deformation modes. Similarly, the geometrically nonlinear GBT analysis is formulated for thin-walled circular pipes based on the nonlinear membrane kinematic equations. Here, the initial linear and quadratic stress and displacement tangent stiffness matrices are built using the third and fourth-order GBT deformation mode coupling tensors. Longitudinally, the formulation of the coupled GBT element stiffness and mass matrices are presented using a beam-based finite element formulation. Furthermore, the formulated GBT elements are tested for shear and membrane locking problems and the limitations of the formulations regarding the membrane locking problem are discussed. N2 - Eine detaillierte Strukturanalyse dünnwandiger, kreisförmiger Rohrelemente erfordert oft die Verwendung von Schalenelementen in der Finite Elemente Methode. Diese Methode ermöglicht eine sehr gute Approximation des Verformungszustandes, erfordert jedoch einen hohen Grad der Diskretisierung, welcher wiederum einen hohen Rechenaufwand verursacht. Eine alternative Methode hierzu basiert auf klassischen Balkentheorien, welche eine einfache Modellierung ermöglichen und wesentlich geringeren Rechenaufwand erfordern. Diese weisen jedoch Einschränkungen bei der Approximation von Verformungen auf, da Querschnittsverformungen nicht berücksichtigt werden können. Schwerpunkt dieser Dissertation ist eine Untersuchung der Verallgemeinerten Technischen Biegetheorie (VTB), die sowohl eine genaue als auch eine effiziente Analyse von dünnwandigen Tragwerkselementen ermöglicht. Diese Theorie basiert auf einer Trennung der Variablen, in der das Verschiebungsfeld als eine Kombination von vorbestimmten Verformungsmoden der Querschnitts und unbekannten Amplitudenfunktionen in Längsrichtung ausgedrückt wird. Obwohl die VTB ursprünglich für lange, gerade Elemente entwickelt wurde, können durch die Berücksichtigung komplementärer Verformungsmoden, welche die Null-Annahmen der klassischen VTB für Quer- und Schubmembrandehnung abändern, Probleme mit kurzen Elementen, Rohrbögen und geometrischer Nichtlinearität analysiert werden. In dieser Dissertation wird die VTB-Formulierung für die Analyse dieser Probleme entwickelt. Die Anwendung und Möglichkeiten der Methode werden anhand mehrerer numerischer Beispiele veranschaulicht, deren Verschiebungs- und Spannungsfeldanalysen anhand eines äquivalenten, verfeinerten, schalenbasierten Finite-Elemente-Modells verifiziert werden. Die entwickelten statischen und dynamischen VTB-Formulierungen für Rohrbogenelemente basieren auf der linearen kinematischen Beschreibung der Theorie gekrümmter Schalen. In diesen Formulierungen wird das komplexe Problem in Rohrbögen aufgrund des starken Kopplungseffekts der Längsbiegung, der Verwölbung und der Querschnittsovalisierung durch die Herleitung der Kopplungstensoren zwischen den betrachteten VTB-Verformungsmoden präzise behandelt. In ähnlicher Weise wird die geometrisch nichtlineare VTB-Analyse für gerade Rohrelemente auf der Grundlage der nichtlinearen kinematischen Membrangleichungen formuliert. Die anfänglichen linearen und quadratischen Spannungs- und Verschiebungs-Tangentensteifigkeitsmatrizen werden dabei unter Verwendung der VTB-Kopplungstensoren dritter und vierter Ordnung aufgebaut. In Längsrichtung wird die Formulierung der gekoppelten VTB-Element-Steifigkeits- und Massenmatrizen unter Verwendung einer balkenbasierten Finite-Elemente Formulierung dargestellt. Weiterhin werden die VTB-Elemente auf Schub- und Membran-Locking-Probleme getestet und die Einschränkungen der Formulierungen bezüglich des Membran-Locking-Problems diskutiert.

Despite the speed and simplicity of RVS, many of the collected parameters are non-commensurable and include subjectivity due to visual observations. This might cause uncertainties in the evaluation, which emphasizes the use of a fuzzy-based method. This study aims to propose a novel RVS methodology based on the interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (IT2FLS) to set the priority of vulnerable building to undergo detailed assessment while covering uncertainties and minimizing their effects during evaluation. The proposed method estimates the vulnerability of a building, in terms of Damage Index, considering the number of stories, age of building, plan irregularity, vertical irregularity, building quality, and peak ground velocity, as inputs with a single output variable. Applicability of the proposed method has been investigated using a post-earthquake damage database of reinforced concrete buildings from the Bingöl and Düzce earthquakes in Turkey.

Earthquake safety assessment and building hazard monitoring can highly contribute to urban sustainability through identification and insight into optimum materials and structures. While the vulnerability of structures mainly depends on the structural resistance, the safety assessment of buildings can be highly challenging. In this paper, we consider the Rapid Visual Screening (RVS) method, which is a qualitative procedure for estimating structural scores for buildings suitable for medium- to high-seismic cases. This paper presents an overview of the common RVS methods, i.e., FEMA P-154, IITK-GGSDMA, and EMPI. To examine the accuracy and validation, a practical comparison is performed between their assessment and observed damage of reinforced concrete buildings from a street survey in the Bingöl region, Turkey, after the 1 May 2003 earthquake. The results demonstrate that the application of RVS methods for preliminary damage estimation is a vital tool. Furthermore, the comparative analysis showed that FEMA P-154 creates an assessment that overestimates damage states and is not economically viable, while EMPI and IITK-GGSDMA provide more accurate and practical estimation, respectively.

The present work aims to investigate earthquake susceptibility through the combination of six building performance variables that can be used to obtain an optimal prediction of the damage state of reinforced concrete buildings using artificial neural network (ANN). In this regard, a multi-layer perceptron network is trained and optimized using a database of 484 damaged buildings from the Düzce earthquake in Turkey. The results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the selected ANN approach to classify concrete structural damage that can be used as a preliminary assessment technique to identify vulnerable buildings in disaster risk-management programs.

Eine praxis-basierte, (re-)kontextualisierende und diskursanalytische Studie. N2 - Inhaltlich beschäftigt sich die Arbeit, die im Rahmen des Promotionsstudiengangs Kunst und Gestaltung an der Bauhaus-Universität entstand, mit der Erforschung sozio-interaktiver Potentiale der Videotelefonie im Kontext von Nähe und Verbundenheit mit Fokus auf Eigenbild, Embodiment sowie den Rederechtswechsel. Die Videotelefonie als Kommunikationsform hat sich – und darauf deuten die Erfahrungen der Co- vid-19-Pandemie hin – im lebensweltlichen Alltag der Menschen etabliert und wird dort in naher Zukunft nicht mehr wegzudenken sein. Auf Basis ihrer Möglichkeiten und Errungenschaften ist es inzwischen Realität und Lebenswirklichkeit, dass die Kommunikation sowohl im privaten als auch im geschäftlichen Kontext mittels verschiedenster Kanäle stattfindet. Der Videotelefonie kommt hierbei als solche nicht nur eine tragende Funktion, sondern auch eine herausragende Rolle bei der vermeintlichen Reproduktion der Face-to-Face-Kommunikation im digitalen Raum zu und wird wie selbstverständlich zum zwischenmenschlichen Austausch genutzt. Just an diesem Punkt knüpft die Forschungsarbeit an. Zentral stand dabei das Vorhaben einer dezidierte Untersuchung des Forschungsgegenstandes Videotelefonie, sowohl aus Kultur- als auch Technikhistorischer, aber auch Medien-, Wahrnehmungs- wie Kommunikations- theoretischer Perspektive, indem analytische und phänosemiotische Perspektiven miteinander in Beziehung gesetzt werden (z.B. Wahrnehmungsbedingungen, Interaktionsmerkmale, realisierte Kommunikationsprozesse etc.). Damit verbundenes, wünschenswertes Ziel war es, eine möglichst zeitgemäße wie relevante Forschungsfrage zu adressieren, die neben den kulturellen Technisierungs- und Mediatisierungstendenzen in institutionellen und privaten Milieus ebenfalls eine conditio sine qua non der pandemischen (Massen-)Kommunikation entwirft. Die Arbeit ist damit vor allem im Bereich des Produkt- und Interactiondesigns zu verorten. Darüber hinaus hatte sie das Ziel der Darlegung und Begründung der Videotelefonie als eigenständige Kommunikationsform, welche durch eigene, kommunikative Besonderheiten, die sich in ihrer jeweiligen Ingebrauchnahme sowie durch spezielle Wahrnehmungsbedingungen äußern, und die die Videotelefonie als »Rederechtswechselmedium« avant la lettre konsolidieren, gekennzeichnet ist. Dabei sollte der Beweis erbracht werden, dass die Videotelefonie nicht als Schwundstufe einer Kommunikation Face-to-Face, sondern als ein eigenständiges Mediatisierungs- und Kommunikationsereignis zu verstehen sei. Und eben nicht als eine beliebige – sich linear vom Telefon ausgehende – entwickelte Form der audio-visuellen Fernkommunikation darstellt, sondern die gestalterische (Bewegtbild-)Technizität ein eigenständiges Funktionsmaß offeriert, welches wiederum ein innovatives Kommunikationsmilieu im Kontext einer Rederechtswechsel-Medialität stabilisiert.

This thesis aims to contribute to our understanding on how people experience data and what role representational modality plays in the process of perception and interpretation. This research is grounded in phenomenology - I align my theoretical exploration to ideas and concepts from philosophical phenomenology, while also respecting the essence of a phenomenological approach in the choice and application of methods. Alongside offering a rich description of people’s experience of data representation, the key contributions I claim transcend four areas: theory, methods, design, and empirical findings. From a theoretical perspective, besides describing a phenomenology of human-data relations, I define, for the first time, multisensory data representation and establish a design space for the study of this class of representation. In relation to methodologies, I describe and deploy two methods to investigate different aspects of data experience. I blend the Repertory Grid technique with a focus group session and show how this adaption can be used to elicit rich design relevant insight. I also introduce the Elicitation Interview technique as a method for gathering detailed and precise accounts of human experience. Furthermore, I describe for the first time, how this technique can be used to elicit accounts of experience with data. My contribution to design relates to the creation of a series of bespoke data-driven artefacts, as well as describing an approach to design that I call Design Probes, which allows researchers to focus their enquiry on specific design features. To answer the research questions I set out in this thesis, I report on a series of empirical studies that used the aforementioned methods. The findings of these studies show, for instance, how certain representational modalities cause us to have heightened awareness of our body, some are more difficult to interpret than others, some rely heavily on instinct and each of them solicit us to reference external events during the process of interpretation. I conclude that a phenomenology of human-data relations show how representational modality affects the way we experience data, it also shows how this experience unfolds and it offers insight into particular moments such as the formation of meaning.

N2 - Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit den spezifischen Faktoren und Wechselwirkungen des städtischen Klimas und Strategien zur Prävention und Kompensation lokaler Klimaveränderungen. Problematische Merkmale des Stadtklimas werden sich infolge des Klimawandels stärker ausprägen. Insbesondere die Hitzebelastung wird zunehmen und die Lebensbedingungen in der Stadt negativ beeinflussen. Infolge höherer Temperaturen in Städten und einer höheren Temperaturdifferenz zum Umland verändern sich Windströme und die Wasserbilanz. Es sind Strategien notwendig, um den Schadstoffausstoß, die Flächeninanspruchnahme, die Abfallproduktion und den Wasser-, Energie- und Ressourcenverbrauch zu verringern, um sowohl langfristig den Klimawandel als auch dessen bereits unvermeidbaren Auswirkungen auf Städte zu begrenzen. Beispielhaft untersucht die Arbeit das Stadtklima, dessen zukünftige Veränderungen infolge des Klimawandels, bauliche Maßnahmen und Anpassungsstrategien der Stadt Jena. Jena ist die zweitgrößte Stadt im Bundesland Thüringen und gehört heute zu den wärmsten und trockensten Großstädten Deutschlands. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit werden anschließend anhand eines städtebaulichen Konzepts und Entwurfs angewendet. Das Bachstraßenareal liegt in der Innenstadt, dem am stärksten von Hitze betroffenen Stadtteil. Als ehemaliger Hauptstandort des Jenaer Universitätsklinikums, soll es zu einem nachhaltigen Wissenschaftscampus der Lebenswissenschaften umgebaut werden, wobei ein Großteil der denkmalgeschützten, ehemaligen Klinikgebäude erhalten bleibt. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Umsetzung der zuvor formulierten, nachhaltigen Strategien zur Verbesserung des lokalen Stadtklimas und einer Abschwächung der Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf den besonders stark betroffenen Innenstadtbereich Jenas.

In isogeometric analysis, basis functions used for constructing geometric models in computer-aided design(CAD) are also employed to discretize the partial differential equations(PDEs) for numerical analysis. Non-uniform rational B-Splines(NURBS) are the most commonly used basis functions in CAD. However, they may not be ideal for numerical analysis where local refinement is required. The alternative method GIFT deploys different splines for geometry and numerical analysis. NURBS are utilized for the geometry representation, while for the field solution, PHT/RHT-splines are used. PHT-splines not only inherit the useful properties of B-splines and NURBS, but also possess the capabilities of local refinement and hierarchical structure. The smooth basis function properties of PHT-splines make them suitable for analysis purposes. While most problems considered in isogeometric analysis can be solved efficiently when the solution is smooth, many non-trivial problems have rough solutions. For example, this can be caused by the presence of re-entrant corners in the domain. For such problems, a tensor-product basis (as in the case of NURBS) is less suitable for resolving the singularities that appear since refinement propagates throughout the computational domain. Hierarchical bases and local refinement (as in the case of PHT-splines) allow for a more efficient way to resolve these singularities by adding more degrees of freedom where they are necessary. In order to drive the adaptive refinement, an efficient recovery-based error estimator is proposed in this thesis. The estimator produces a recovery solution which is a more accurate approximation than the computed numerical solution. Several two- and three-dimensional numerical investigations with PHT-splines of higher order and continuity prove that the proposed method is capable of obtaining results with higher accuracy, better convergence, fewer degrees of freedom and less computational cost than NURBS for smooth solution problems. The adaptive GIFT method utilizing PHT-splines with the recovery-based error estimator is used for solutions with discontinuities or singularities where adaptive local refinement in particular domains of interest achieves higher accuracy with fewer degrees of freedom. This method also proves that it can handle complicated multi-patch domains for two- and three-dimensional problems outperforming uniform refinement in terms of degrees of freedom and computational cost.

In recent decades, LIBs have caught tremendous attention in mobile communication, portable electronics, and electric vehicles. Furthermore, global warming has become a worldwide issue due to the ongoing production of greenhouse gases. It motivates solutions such as renewable sources of energy. Solar and wind energies are the most important ones in renewable energy sources. By technology progress, they will definitely require batteries to store the produced power to make a balance between power generation and consumption. Nowadays,rechargeable batteries such as LIBs are considered as one of the best solutions. They provide high specific energy and high rate performance while their rate of self-discharge is low. Performance of LIBs can be improved through the modification of battery characteristics. The size of solid particles in electrodes can impact the specific energy and the cyclability of batteries. It can improve the amount of lithium content in the electrode which is a vital parameter in capacity and capability of a battery. There exist diferent sources of heat generation in LIBs such as heat produced during electrochemical reactions, internal resistance in battery. The size of electrode's electroactive particles can directly affect the produced heat in battery. It will be shown that the smaller size of solid particle enhance the thermal characteristics of LIBs. Thermal issues such as overheating, temperature maldistribution in the battery, and thermal runaway have confined applications of LIBs. Such thermal challenges reduce the Life cycle of LIBs. As well, they may lead to dangerous conditions such as fire or even explosion in batteries. However, recent advances in fabrication of advanced materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes with extraordinary thermal conductivity and electrical properties propose new opportunities to enhance their performance. Since experimental works are expensive, our objective is to use computational methods to investigate the thermal issues in LIBS. Dissipation of the heat produced in the battery can improve the cyclability and specific capacity of LIBs. In real applications, packs of LIB consist several battery cells that are used as the power source. Therefore, it is worth to investigate thermal characteristic of battery packs under their cycles of charging/discharging operations at different applied current rates. To remove the produced heat in batteries, they can be surrounded by materials with high thermal conductivity. Parafin wax absorbs high energy since it has a high latent heat. Absorption high amounts of energy occurs at constant temperature without phase change. As well, thermal conductivity of parafin can be magnified with nano-materials such as graphene, CNT, and fullerene to form a nano-composite medium. Improving the thermal conductivity of LIBs increase the heat dissipation from batteries which is a vital issue in systems of battery thermal management. The application of two-dimensional (2D) materials has been on the rise since exfoliation the graphene from bulk graphite. 2D materials are single-layered in an order of nanosizes which show superior thermal, mechanical, and optoelectronic properties. They are potential candidates for energy storage and supply, particularly in lithium ion batteries as electrode material. The high thermal conductivity of graphene and graphene-like materials can play a significant role in thermal management of batteries. However, defects always exist in nano-materials since there is no ideal fabrication process. One of the most important defects in materials are nano-crack which can dramatically weaken the mechanical properties of the materials. Newly synthesized crystalline carbon nitride with the stoichiometry of C3N have attracted many attentions due to its extraordinary mechanical and thermal properties. The other nano-material is phagraphene which shows anisotropic mechanical characteristics which is ideal in production of nanocomposite. It shows ductile fracture behavior when subjected under uniaxial loadings. It is worth to investigate their thermo-mechanical properties in its pristine and defective states. We hope that the findings of our work not only be useful for both experimental and theoretical researches but also help to design advanced electrodes for LIBs.

This work deals with the assessment and development of models for aerodynamic and aeroelastic analyses of long-span bridges. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and semi-analytical aerodynamic models are employed to compute the bridge response due to both turbulent and laminar free-stream. For the assessment of these models, a comparative methodology is developed that consists of two steps, a qualitative and a quantitative one. The first, qualitative, step involves an extension of an existing approach based on Category Theory and its application to the field of bridge aerodynamics. Initially, the approach is extended to consider model comparability and completeness. Then, the complexity of the CFD and twelve semi-analytical models are evaluated based on their mathematical constructions, yielding a diagrammatic representation of model quality. In the second, quantitative, step of the comparative methodology, the discrepancy of a system response quantity for time-dependent aerodynamic models is quantified using comparison metrics for time-histories. Nine metrics are established on a uniform basis to quantify the discrepancies in local and global signal features that are of interest in bridge aerodynamics. These signal features involve quantities such as phase, time-varying frequency and magnitude content, probability density, non-stationarity, and nonlinearity. The two-dimensional (2D) Vortex Particle Method is used for the discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations including a Pseudo-three dimensional (Pseudo-3D) extension within an existing CFD solver. The Pseudo-3D Vortex Method considers the 3D structural behavior for aeroelastic analyses by positioning 2D fluid strips along a line-like structure. A novel turbulent Pseudo-3D Vortex Method is developed by combining the laminar Pseudo-3D VPM and a previously developed 2D method for the generation of free-stream turbulence. Using analytical derivations, it is shown that the fluid velocity correlation is maintained between the CFD strips. Furthermore, a new method is presented for the determination of the complex aerodynamic admittance under deterministic sinusoidal gusts using the Vortex Particle Method. The sinusoidal gusts are simulated by modeling the wakes of flapping airfoils in the CFD domain with inflow vortex particles. Positioning a section downstream yields sinusoidal forces that are used for determining all six components of the complex aerodynamic admittance. A closed-form analytical relation is derived, based on an existing analytical model. With this relation, the inflow particles’ strength can be related with the target gust amplitudes a priori. The developed methodologies are combined in a synergistic framework, which is applied to both fundamental examples and practical case studies. Where possible, the results are verified and validated. The outcome of this work is intended to shed some light on the complex wind–bridge interaction and suggest appropriate modeling strategies for an enhanced design.

Therefore, a reliable representation of the aerodynamic forces acting on a bridge deck is of a major significance for the design of such structures. This paper presents a systematic study of the two-dimensional (2D) fluid-structure interaction of a bridge deck under smooth and turbulent wind conditions. Aerodynamic forces are modeled by two approaches: a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model and six semi-analytical models. The vortex particle method is utilized for the CFD model and the free-stream turbulence is introduced by seeding vortex particles upstream of the deck with prescribed spectral characteristics. The employed semi-analytical models are based on the quasi-steady and linear unsteady assumptions and aerodynamic coefficients obtained from CFD analyses. The underlying assumptions of the semi-analytical aerodynamic models are used to interpret the results of buffeting forces and aeroelastic response due to a free-stream turbulence in comparison with the CFD model. Extensive discussions are provided to analyze the effect of linear fluid memory and quasi-steady nonlinearity from a CFD perspective. The outcome of the analyses indicates that the fluid memory is a governing effect in the buffeting forces and aeroelastic response, while the effect of the nonlinearity is overestimated by the quasi-steady models. Finally, flutter analyses are performed and the obtained critical velocities are further compared with wind tunnel results, followed by a brief examination of the post-flutter behavior. The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of the extent of which the applied models are able to replicate the physical processes for fluid-structure interaction phenomena in bridge aerodynamics and aeroelasticity.

A huge variety of aerodynamic models for aeroelastic analyses of bridges poses natural questions on their complexity and thus, quality. Moreover, a direct comparison of aerodynamic models is typically either not possible or senseless, as the models can be based on very different physical assumptions. Therefore, to address the question of principal comparability and complexity of models, a more abstract approach, accounting for the effect of basic physical assumptions, is necessary. This paper presents an application of a recently introduced category theory-based modelling approach to a diverse set of models from bridge aerodynamics. Initially, the categorical approach is extended to allow an adequate description of aerodynamic models. Complexity of the selected aerodynamic models is evaluated, based on which model comparability is established. Finally, the utility of the approach for model comparison and characterisation is demonstrated on an illustrative example from bridge aeroelasticity. The outcome of this study is intended to serve as an alternative framework for model comparison and impact future model assessment studies of mathematical models for engineering applications.

In this paper, a novel extension of the Pseudo-three-dimensional Vortex Particle Method (Pseudo-3D VPM) is presented for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) buffeting analysis of line-like structures. This extension entails an introduction of free-stream turbulent fluctuations, based on the velocity-based turbulence generation. The aerodynamic response of a long-span bridge is obtained by subjecting the 3D dynamic representation of the structure to correlated free-stream turbulence in two-dimensional (2D) fluid planes, which are positioned along the bridge deck. The span-wise correlation of the free-stream turbulence between the 2D fluid planes is established based on Taylor's hypothesis of frozen turbulence. Moreover, the application of the laminar Pseudo-3D VPM is extended to a multimode flutter analysis. Finally, the structural response from the Pseudo-3D flutter and buffeting analyses is verified with the response, computed using the semi-analytical linear unsteady model in the time-domain. Meaningful merits of the turbulent Pseudo-3D VPM with respect to the linear unsteady model are the consideration of the 2D aerodynamic nonlinearity, nonlinear fluid memory, vortex shedding and local non-stationary turbulence effects in the aerodynamic forces. The good agreement of the responses for the two models in the 3D analyses demonstrates the applicability of the Pseudo-3D VPM for aeroelastic analyses of line-like structures under turbulent and laminar free-stream conditions.

Sie dient der Untersuchung zum Aufbau eines ökonomischen Modells zur Koordination von Dienstliegenschaften auf staatlicher Ebene. Die Untersuchung der Dienstliegenschaften zeigt, dass diese eine interne Dienstbarkeit des Staates als Wirtschaftssubjekt an den Staat als Hoheitsträger fingieren. Die Untersuchung der Liegenschaftsverwaltung belegt, dass sie vor allem ein Controlling-Instrument für den Informationsfluss zu Entscheidungen über Dienstliegenschaften zwischen dem Hoheitsträger und dem Wirtschaftssubjekt darstellt. Die Untersuchung der Transaktionskosten beweist, dass eine Koordination am effizientesten über die eigene Organisation mittels dezentraler Aufgabenkonzentration in Form eines SSC erreicht werden kann. Die Untersuchung der Handlungs- und Verfügungsrechte ergab, dass die Verfügungsrechte an den Dienstliegenschaften weiter den Ressorts bzw. Nutzern obliegen. Allein das Handlungsrecht der Aufgabenwahrnehmung ist an die Liegenschaftsverwaltung übergegangen. Die Untersuchung der Prinzipal-Agent-Verhältnisse teilt der Liegenschaftsverwaltung die Rolle eines Erfüllungsgehilfen des Wirtschaftssubjektes zu. Die monetäre Abwicklung der Ge-schäfte zwischen dem Wirtschaftssubjekt und dem Hoheitsträger obliegt als zuarbeitende Organisationseinheit ohne eigene Entscheidungsgewalt der Liegenschaftsverwaltung. Aus diesen Thesen ergeben sich monetäre Handlungsmöglichkeiten, die in den Aufbau des Modells einfließen. Es rückt das Wirtschaftssubjekt als Entscheidungsträger über den Ressourceneinsatz in den Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung. Der Hoheitsträger ist hierbei nur der Forderungsberechtigte an das Wirtschaftssubjekt und die Liegenschaftsverwaltung dessen immobilienwirtschaftlicher Vertreter. Diese Konstellation berücksichtigend erfolgt dem Credo des NPM gemäß die Beschreibung des Modells und des institutionellen Arrangements nach den gängigen Modellen aus der Privatwirtschaft. Anhand der Untersuchungsergebnisse wird eine Liegenschaftsverwaltung skizziert, welche einerseits den tatsächlichen betriebswirtschaftlichen Anforderungen der Immobilienwirtschaft und andererseits den Gegebenheiten des haushaltswirtschaftlichen Umfeldes der öffentlichen Verwaltung gerecht werden kann. Das aufgebaute Realmodell dient gleichzeitig dem Vergleich mit dem bestehenden und in der Praxis angewandten Mieter-Vermieter-Modell als Idealmodell. Der Vergleich zeigt, dass sich aus der Untersuchung zivilrechtlicher Institutionen zwar kein schuldrechtliches, wohl aber ein dingliches Recht ableiten lässt. Damit einher geht die Vermutung, dass es sich bei dem Mieter-Vermieter-Modell im staatlichen Bereich um einen Fall von Modellplatonismus handelt.

T1 - Predicting stable gravel-bed river hydraulic geometry: A test of novel, advanced, hybrid data mining algorithms N2 - Accurate prediction of stable alluvial hydraulic geometry, in which erosion and sedimentation are in equilibrium, is one of the most difficult but critical topics in the field of river engineering. Data mining algorithms have been gaining more attention in this field due to their high performance and flexibility. However, an understanding of the potential for these algorithms to provide fast, cheap, and accurate predictions of hydraulic geometry is lacking. This study provides the first quantification of this potential. Using at-a-station field data, predictions of flow depth, water-surface width and longitudinal water surface slope are made using three standalone data mining techniques -, Instance-based Learning (IBK), KStar, Locally Weighted Learning (LWL) - along with four types of novel hybrid algorithms in which the standalone models are trained with Vote, Attribute Selected Classifier (ASC), Regression by Discretization (RBD), and Cross-validation Parameter Selection (CVPS) algorithms (Vote-IBK, Vote-Kstar, Vote-LWL, ASC-IBK, ASC-Kstar, ASC-LWL, RBD-IBK, RBD-Kstar, RBD-LWL, CVPSIBK, CVPS-Kstar, CVPS-LWL). Through a comparison of their predictive performance and a sensitivity analysis of the driving variables, the results reveal: (1) Shield stress was the most effective parameter in the prediction of all geometry dimensions; (2) hybrid models had a higher prediction power than standalone data mining models, empirical equations and traditional machine learning algorithms; (3) Vote-Kstar model had the highest performance in predicting depth and width, and ASC-Kstar in estimating slope, each providing very good prediction performance. Through these algorithms, the hydraulic geometry of any river can potentially be predicted accurately and with ease using just a few, readily available flow and channel parameters. Thus, the results reveal that these models have great potential for use in stable channel design in data poor catchments, especially in developing nations where technical modelling skills and understanding of the hydraulic and sediment processes occurring in the river system may be lacking.

Abutment scour is a complex three-dimensional phenomenon that is difficult to predict especially with traditional formulas obtained using empirical approaches such as regressions. This paper presents a test of a standalone Kstar model with five novel hybrid algorithm of bagging (BA-Kstar), dagging (DA-Kstar), random committee (RC-Kstar), random subspace (RS-Kstar), and weighted instance handler wrapper (WIHWKstar) to predict scour depth (ds) for clear water condition. The dataset consists of 99 scour depth data from flume experiments (Dey and Barbhuiya, 2005) using abutment shapes such as vertical, semicircular and 45◦ wing. Four dimensionless parameter of relative flow depth (h/l), excess abutment Froude number (Fe), relative sediment size (d50/l) and relative submergence (d50/h) were considered for the prediction of relative scour depth (ds/l). A portion of the dataset was used for the calibration (70%), and the remaining used for model validation. Pearson correlation coefficients helped deciding relevance of the input parameters combination and finally four different combinations of input parameters were used. The performance of the models was assessed visually and with quantitative metrics. Overall, the best input combination for vertical abutment shape is the combination of Fe, d50/l and h/l, while for semicircular and 45◦ wing the combination of the Fe and d50/l is the most effective input parameter combination. Our results show that incorporating Fe, d50/l and h/l lead to higher performance while involving d50/h reduced the models prediction power for vertical abutment shape and for semicircular and 45◦ wing involving h/l and d50/h lead to more error. The WIHW-Kstar provided the highest performance in scour depth prediction around vertical abutment shape while RC-Kstar model outperform of other models for scour depth prediction around semicircular and 45◦ wing.

The investigation toward using these techniques in civil engineering applications has shown encouraging results and reduced human intervention, including uncertainties and biased judgment.

Der historische Bahnhof aus der Epoche des Jugendstils ist momentan eingeschlossen von einer hochfrequentierten Straße im Süden und den flankierenden Stationen des Busbahnhofs an der Ost- und Westseite. Die fußläufigen Verbindungen in die Altstadt sind gestört und das Regierungsviertel mit dem Reichstagsgebäude werden links liegen gelassen. Eine Orientierung als Neuankömmling ist schwer möglich. Darüber hinaus kommt etwa die Hälfte der Züge, vor allem die Regionalzüge nicht in der Bahnhofshalle des Kopfbahnhofes an, weil die Begrenzung durch die Seitenflügel nur eine Erweiterung des Bahnhofs nach Norden hin zuließ. Entstanden ist ein Entwurf der versucht, dem gesamten Bereich um den Bahnhof ein neues Gesicht zu geben und eine Verbesserung auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen zu erreichen. Er bündelt zum einen die verschiedenen Verkehrsströme und stellt eine bisher unterbrochene Querverbindung zwischen den benachbarten Stadtvierteln entlang des Bahnhofsareals her. Zum anderen trägt er dem Erfordernis nach einem städtebaulichen Gegenüber für das Regierungsgebäude Rechnung, welches damit in den Verbund der kulturellen Einrichtungen auf dem Töölönlahti Gelände aufgenommen wird. Darüber hinaus belebt er eine Besonderheit von Helsinki. Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts bestand die Notwendigkeit den Hafen an das Schienennetz anzubinden. Da der Stadtkern bereits sehr dicht bebaut war, wurde ein Eisenbahnring entlang der Küste, einmal um das Stadtzentrum herum gebaut.

This study makes use of the Tsallis entropy, genetic programming (GP) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) methods to assess the shear stress distribution (SSD) in the rectangular channel. To evaluate the results of the Tsallis entropy, GP and ANFIS models, laboratory observations were used in which shear stress was measured using an optimized Preston tube. This is then used to measure the SSD in various aspect ratios in the rectangular channel. To investigate the shear stress percentage, 10 data series with a total of 112 different data for were used. The results of the sensitivity analysis show that the most influential parameter for the SSD in smooth rectangular channel is the dimensionless parameter B/H, Where the transverse coordinate is B, and the flow depth is H. With the parameters (b/B), (B/H) for the bed and (z/H), (B/H) for the wall as inputs, the modeling of the GP was better than the other one. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that the use of GP and ANFIS algorithms is more effective in estimating shear stress in smooth rectangular channels than the Tsallis entropy-based equations.

Structures composed of these composite materials are widely used in aerospace engineering structures, automotive components, and electrical devices. The excellent and outstanding mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of Carbon nanotube (CNT) make it an ideal filler to strengthen polymer materials’ comparable properties. The heat transfer of composite materials has very promising engineering applications in many fields, especially in electronic devices and energy storage equipment. It is essential in high-energy density systems since electronic components need heat dissipation functionality. Or in other words, in electronic devices the generated heat should ideally be dissipated by light and small heat sinks. Polymeric composites consist of fillers embedded in a polymer matrix, the first ones will significantly affect the overall (macroscopic) performance of the material. There are many common carbon-based fillers such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), carbon nanobuds (CNB), fullerene, and graphene. Additives inside the matrix have become a popular subject for researchers. Some extraordinary characters, such as high-performance load, lightweight design, excellent chemical resistance, easy processing, and heat transfer, make the design of polymeric nanotube composites (PNCs) flexible. Due to the reinforcing effects with different fillers on composite materials, it has a higher degree of freedom and can be designed for the structure according to specific applications’ needs. As already stated, our research focus will be on SWCNT enhanced PNCs. Since experiments are timeconsuming, sometimes expensive and cannot shed light into phenomena taking place for instance at the interfaces/interphases of composites, they are often complemented through theoretical and computational analysis. While most studies are based on deterministic approaches, there is a comparatively lower number of stochastic methods accounting for uncertainties in the input parameters. In deterministic models, the output of the model is fully determined by the parameter values and the initial conditions. However, uncertainties in the input parameters such as aspect ratio, volume fraction, thermal properties of fiber and matrix need to be taken into account for reliable predictions. In this research, a stochastic multiscale method is provided to study the influence of numerous uncertain input parameters on the thermal conductivity of the composite. Therefore, a hierarchical multi-scale method based on computational homogenization is presented in to predict the macroscopic thermal conductivity based on the fine-scale structure. In order to study the inner mechanism, we use the finite element method and employ surrogate models to conduct a Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA). The SA is performed in order to quantify the influence of the conductivity of the fiber, matrix, Kapitza resistance, volume fraction and aspect ratio on the macroscopic conductivity. Therefore, we compute first-order and total-effect sensitivity indices with different surrogate models. As stochastic multiscale models are computational expensive, surrogate approaches are commonly exploited. With the emergence of high performance computing and artificial intelligence, machine learning has become a popular modeling tool for numerous applications. Machine learning (ML) is commonly used in regression and maps data through specific rules with algorithms to build input and output models. They are particularly useful for nonlinear input-output relationships when sufficient data is available. ML has also been used in the design of new materials and multiscale analysis. For instance, Artificial neural networks and integrated learning seem to be ideally for such a task. They can theoretically simulate any non-linear relationship through the connection of neurons. Mapping relationships are employed to carry out data-driven simulations of inputs and outputs in stochastic modeling. This research aims to develop a stochastic multi-scale computational models of PNCs in heat transfer. Multi-scale stochastic modeling with uncertainty analysis and machine learning methods consist of the following components: -Uncertainty Analysis. A surrogate based global sensitivity analysis is coupled with a hierarchical multi-scale method employing computational homogenization. The effect of the conductivity of the fibers and the matrix, the Kapitza resistance, volume fraction and aspect ratio on the ’macroscopic’ conductivity of the composite is systematically studied. All selected surrogate models yield consistently the conclusions that the most influential input parameters are the aspect ratio followed by the volume fraction. The Kapitza Resistance has no significant effect on the thermal conductivity of the PNCs. The most accurate surrogate model in terms of the R2 value is the moving least square (MLS). -Hybrid Machine Learning Algorithms. A combination of artificial neural network (ANN) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is applied to estimate the relationship between variable input and output parameters. The ANN is used for modeling the composite while PSO improves the prediction performance through an optimized global minimum search. The thermal conductivity of the fibers and the matrix, the kapitza resistance, volume fraction and aspect ratio are selected as input parameters. The output is the macroscopic (homogenized) thermal conductivity of the composite. The results show that the PSO significantly improves the predictive ability of this hybrid intelligent algorithm, which outperforms traditional neural networks. -Stochastic Integrated Machine Learning. A stochastic integrated machine learning based multiscale approach for the prediction of the macroscopic thermal conductivity in PNCs is developed. Seven types of machine learning models are exploited in this research, namely Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Regression Tree (RT), Bagging Tree (Bag), Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) and Cubist. They are used as components of stochastic modeling to construct the relationship between the variable of the inputs’ uncertainty and the macroscopic thermal conductivity of PNCs. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used for hyper-parameter tuning to find the global optimal values leading to a significant reduction in the computational cost. The advantages and disadvantages of various methods are also analyzed in terms of computing time and model complexity to finally give a recommendation for the applicability of different models.

Based on microstructural characteristics previously extracted using microscopy and X-ray diffraction, approximately 1000 new parameter sets are generated by applying the Latin Hypercube Sampling Method (LHSM). For each parameter set, a Representative Volume Element (RVE) is synthetically created via Voronoi Tessellation. Input raw data for ML-based algorithms comprises these parameter sets or RVE-images, while output raw data includes their corresponding stress-strain relationships calculated after a Finite Element (FE) procedure. Input data undergoes preprocessing involving standardization, feature selection, and image resizing. Similarly, the stress-strain curves, initially unsuitable for training traditional ML algorithms, are preprocessed using cubic splines and occasionally Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The later part of the study focuses on employing multiple ML algorithms, utilizing two main models. The first model predicts stress-strain curves based on microstructural parameters, while the second model does so solely from RVE images. The most accurate prediction yields a Root Mean Squared Error of around 5 MPa, approximately 1% of the yield stress. This outcome suggests that ML models offer precise and efficient methods for characterizing dual-phase steels, establishing a framework for accurate results in material analysis.

In addition to public health, AMR also poses a major threat to food security and economic development. Current sanitation systems contribute to the emergence and spread of AMR and lack effective AMR mitigation measures. This study assesses source separation of blackwater as a mitigation measure against AMR. A source-separation-modified combined sanitation system with separate collection of blackwater and graywater is conceptually described. Measures taken at the source, such as the separate collection and discharge of material flows, were not considered so far on a load balance basis, i.e., they have not yet been evaluated for their effectiveness. The sanitation system described is compared with a combined system and a separate system regarding AMR emissions by means of simulation. AMR is represented in the simulation model by one proxy parameter each for antibiotics (sulfamethoxa-zole), antibiotic-resistant bacteria (extended-spectrum beta-lactamase E. Coli), and antibiotic re-sistance genes (blaTEM). The simulation results suggest that the source-separation-based sanitation system reduces emissions of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes into the aquatic environment by more than six logarithm steps compared to combined systems. Sulfa-methoxazole emissions can be reduced by 75.5% by keeping blackwater separate from graywater and treating it sufficiently. In summary, sanitation systems incorporating source separation are, to date, among the most effective means of preventing the emission of AMR into the aquatic envi-ronment.

Toilet wastewater contained in domestic wastewater is a significant source of AMR entering the aquatic environment. The current commonly implemented combined sewer systems at times cause overflows during rain events, resulting in the discharge of untreated wastewater into the aquatic environment, thus promoting AMR. In this short research article, we describe an approach to transform combined sewer systems into source separation-modified combined sewer systems that separately treat toilet wastewater. We employ simulations for demonstrating that source separation-modified combined sewer systems reduce the emission of AMR- causing substances by up to 11.5 logarithm levels. Thus, source separation- modified combined sewer systems are amongst the most effective means of combating AMR.

To this end, it is required to provide the FEM software with a geometric model that is typically constructed in a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. However, FEM and CAD use different approaches for the mathematical description of the geometry. Thus, it is required to generate a mesh, which is suitable for FEM, based on the CAD model. Nonetheless, this procedure is not a trivial task and it can be time consuming. This issue becomes more significant for solving shape and topology optimization problems, which consist in evolving the geometry iteratively. Therefore, the computational cost associated to the mesh generation process is increased exponentially for this type of applications. The main goal of this work is to investigate the integration of CAD and CAE in shape and topology optimization. To this end, numerical tools that close the gap between design and analysis are presented. The specific objectives of this work are listed below: • Automatize the sensitivity analysis in an isogeometric framework for applications in shape optimization. Applications for linear elasticity are considered. • A methodology is developed for providing a direct link between the CAD model and the analysis mesh. In consequence, the sensitivity analysis can be performed in terms of the design variables located in the design model. • The last objective is to develop an isogeometric method for shape and topological optimization. This method should take advantage of using Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) with higher continuity as basis functions. Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) is a framework designed to integrate the design and analysis in engineering problems. The fundamental idea of IGA is to use the same basis functions for modeling the geometry, usually NURBS, for the approximation of the solution fields. The advantage of integrating design and analysis is two-fold. First, the analysis stage is more accurate since the system of PDEs is not solved using an approximated geometry, but the exact CAD model. Moreover, providing a direct link between the design and analysis discretizations makes possible the implementation of efficient sensitivity analysis methods. Second, the computational time is significantly reduced because the mesh generation process can be avoided. Sensitivity analysis is essential for solving optimization problems when gradient-based optimization algorithms are employed. Automatic differentiation can compute exact gradients, automatically by tracking the algebraic operations performed on the design variables. For the automation of the sensitivity analysis, an isogeometric framework is used. Here, the analysis mesh is obtained after carrying out successive refinements, while retaining the coarse geometry for the domain design. An automatic differentiation (AD) toolbox is used to perform the sensitivity analysis. The AD toolbox takes the code for computing the objective and constraint functions as input. Then, using a source code transformation approach, it outputs a code for computing the objective and constraint functions, and their sensitivities as well. The sensitivities obtained from the sensitivity propagation method are compared with analytical sensitivities, which are computed using a full isogeometric approach. The computational efficiency of AD is comparable to that of analytical sensitivities. However, the memory requirements are larger for AD. Therefore, AD is preferable if the memory requirements are satisfied. Automatic sensitivity analysis demonstrates its practicality since it simplifies the work of engineers and designers. Complex geometries with sharp edges and/or holes cannot easily be described with NURBS. One solution is the use of unstructured meshes. Simplex-elements (triangles and tetrahedra for two and three dimensions respectively) are particularly useful since they can automatically parameterize a wide variety of domains. In this regard, unstructured Bézier elements, commonly used in CAD, can be employed for the exact modelling of CAD boundary representations. In two dimensions, the domain enclosed by NURBS curves is parameterized with Bézier triangles. To describe exactly the boundary of a two-dimensional CAD model, the continuity of a NURBS boundary representation is reduced to C^0. Then, the control points are used to generate a triangulation such that the boundary of the domain is identical to the initial CAD boundary representation. Thus, a direct link between the design and analysis discretizations is provided and the sensitivities can be propagated to the design domain. In three dimensions, the initial CAD boundary representation is given as a collection of NURBS surfaces that enclose a volume. Using a mesh generator (Gmsh), a tetrahedral mesh is obtained. The original surface is reconstructed by modifying the location of the control points of the tetrahedral mesh using Bézier tetrahedral elements and a point inversion algorithm. This method offers the possibility of computing the sensitivity analysis using the analysis mesh. Then, the sensitivities can be propagated into the design discretization. To reuse the mesh originally generated, a moving Bézier tetrahedral mesh approach was implemented. A gradient-based optimization algorithm is employed together with a sensitivity propagation procedure for the shape optimization cases. The proposed shape optimization approaches are used to solve some standard benchmark problems in structural mechanics. The results obtained show that the proposed approach can compute accurate gradients and evolve the geometry towards optimal solutions. In three dimensions, the moving mesh approach results in faster convergence in terms of computational time and avoids remeshing at each optimization step. For considering topological changes in a CAD-based framework, an isogeometric phase-field based shape and topology optimization is developed. In this case, the diffuse interface of a phase-field variable over a design domain implicitly describes the boundaries of the geometry. The design variables are the local values of the phase-field variable. The descent direction to minimize the objective function is found by using the sensitivities of the objective function with respect to the design variables. The evolution of the phase-field is determined by solving the time dependent Allen-Cahn equation. Especially for topology optimization problems that require C^1 continuity, such as for flexoelectric structures, the isogeometric phase field method is of great advantage. NURBS can achieve the desired continuity more efficiently than the traditional employed functions. The robustness of the method is demonstrated when applied to different geometries, boundary conditions, and material configurations. The applications illustrate that compared to piezoelectricity, the electrical performance of flexoelectric microbeams is larger under bending. In contrast, the electrical power for a structure under compression becomes larger with piezoelectricity.

For all reactor types, the influence of irradiation power on its reaction rate and energetic efficiency was investigated. Flat cell and batch reactor showed almost similar substance specific degradation behavior. Within the immersion rotary body reactor, benzotriazole and methylbenzotriazole showed a significantly lower degradation affinity. The flat cell reactor achieved the highest mean degradation rate, with half time values ranging from 5 to 64 min with a mean of 18 min, due to its high catalysts surface to hydraulic volume ratio. The EE/O values were calculated for all micro-pollutants as well as the mean degradation rate constant of each experimental step. The lowest substance specific energy per order (EE/O) values of 5 kWh/m3 were measured for benzotriazole within the batch reactor. The batch reactor also reached the lowest mean values (11.8–15.9 kWh/m3) followed by the flat cell reactor (21.0–37.0 kWh/m3) and immersion rotary body reactor (23.9–41.0 kWh/m3). Catalyst arrangement and irradiation power were identified as major influences on the energetic performance of the reactors. Low radiation intensities as well as the use of submerged catalyst arrangement allowed a reduction in energy demand by a factor of 3–4. A treatment according to existing treatment goals of wastewater treatment plants (80% total degradation) was achieved using the batch reactor with a calculated energy demand of 7000 Wh/m3.

This paper presents a software framework for WiFi-based wireless sensor networks composed of low-cost mass market single-board computers. A number of specific system-level software components were developed to enable robust data acquisition, data processing, sensor network communication, and timing with a focus on structural health monitoring (SHM) applications. The framework was validated on Raspberry Pi computers, and its performance was studied in detail. The paper presents several characteristics of the measurement quality such as sampling accuracy and time synchronization and discusses the specific limitations of the system. The implementation includes a complementary smartphone application that is utilized for data acquisition, visualization, and analysis. A prototypical implementation further demonstrates the feasibility of integrating smartphones as data acquisition nodes into the network, utilizing their internal sensors. The measurement system was employed in several monitoring campaigns, three of which are documented in detail. The suitability of the system is evaluated based on comparisons of target quantities with reference measurements. The results indicate that the presented system can robustly achieve a measurement performance commensurate with that required in many typical SHM tasks such as modal identification. As such, it represents a cost-effective alternative to more traditional monitoring solutions.

Energy efficiency requirements in building codes or energy standards are among the most important single measures for buildings’ energy efficiency. Therefore, this study can be set up for a better understanding of how energy efficiency of a building changes under the effect of adverse to moderate climatic conditions which possess a mentionable effect on the operation of a building. This thesis is structured in three balanced and conceptual steps. Following the aim of the project, the virtual building model is to be analyzed under the effect of seven distinct climatic conditions namely work environment of New Delhi, Mumbai, Berlin, Lisbon, Copenhagen, Dubai and Montreal. Firstly, the task is to do a complete literature research based on the scope of similar researches and studying the problems in detail along with the theoritical background all the concepts which are implemented to get the numerical results. This chapter also comprises a detailed study of the climatic conditions of the above-mentioned cities. Different climatic traits like temperature variations, count of heating and cooling degree days, relative humidity, temperature range and comfort zonal charts for the specified cities are studied in detail. This study helps to understand the effect of these adverse to moderate climates on the operation of the building. On the second step, the virtual building model is prepared on a software platform named Revit Structures. This virtual building model is not necessarily a complete building, but it has the relevant functionalities of a real building. We perform the energy analysis and the heating and cooling analysis on this virtual building model to study the operational outcome of the building under different climatic conditions in detail. By the end of these above two tasks, two scenarios are observed. On one hand, we have a literature research and on the other hand we have the numerical results. Therefore, finally we present a comparative scenario based on the energy efficient performances of the building under such variant climatic conditions. This is followed by the prediction of thermal comfort level inside the building and it based on Fanger’s PMV Model. Understanding the literature and the numerical values in detail helps us to predict the index thermal comfort level inside the building. The conclusion of this master thesis focuses mainly on the scopes of improvement of energy efficiency requirements in energy codes if any, differentiated according to specific locations. The initial aim of my hypothesis which is to study the impacts of climatic variations on the energy efficient performances of a building is fulfilled but as such topics have very deep and broad roots, the scope of further improvements is always predominant.

Nevertheless, the durability of such concretes must be sufficient to guarantee a satisfactory service life of structures. Salt frost scaling resistance is a critical factor in this regard, as it is often diminished at increased clinker substitution rates. Furthermore, only insufficient long-term experience for such concretes exists. A high salt frost scaling resistance thus cannot be achieved by applying only descriptive criteria, such as the concrete composition. It is therefore to be expected, that in the long term a performance based service life prediction will replace the descriptive concept. To achieve the important goal of clinker reduction for concretes also in cold and temperate climates it is important to understand the underlying mechanisms for salt frost scaling. However, conflicting damage theories dominate the current State of the Art. It was consequently derived as the goal of this thesis to evaluate existing damage theories and to examine them experimentally. It was found that only two theories have the potential to describe the salt frost attack satisfactorily – the glue spall theory and the cryogenic suction theory. The glue spall theory attributes the surface scaling to the interaction of an external ice layer with the concrete surface. Only when moderate amounts of deicing salt are present in the test solution the resulting mechanical properties of the ice can cause scaling. However, the results in this thesis indicate that severe scaling also occurs at deicing salt levels, at which the ice is much too soft to damage concrete. Thus, the inability of the glue spall theory to account for all aspects of salt frost scaling was shown. The cryogenic suction theory is based on the eutectic behavior of salt solutions, which consist of two phases – water ice and liquid brine – between the freezing point and the eutectic temperature. The liquid brine acts as an additional moisture reservoir, which facilitates the growth of ice lenses in the surface layer of the concrete. The experiments in this thesis confirmed, that the ice formation in hardened cement paste increases due to the suction of brine at sub-zero temperatures. The extent of additional ice formation was influenced mainly by the porosity and by the chloride binding capacity of the hardened cement paste. Consequently, the cryogenic suction theory plausibly describes the actual generation of scaling, but it has to be expanded by some crucial aspects to represent the salt frost scaling attack completely. The most important aspect is the intensive saturation process, which is ascribed to the so-called micro ice lens pump. Therefore a combined damage theory was proposed, which considers multiple saturation processes. Important aspects of this combined theory were confirmed experimentally. As a result, the combined damage theory constitutes a good basis to understand the salt frost scaling attack on concrete on a fundamental level. Furthermore, a new approach was identified, to account for the reduced salt frost scaling resistance of concretes with reduced clinker content.

In diesem Zusammenhang stellt der Frost-Tausalz-Widerstand eine kritische Größe dar, da er bei höheren Klinkersubstitutionsraten häufig negativ beeinflusst wird. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass für klinkerreduzierte Betone nur ein unzureichender Erfahrungsschatz vorliegt. Ein hoher Frost-Tausalz-Widerstand kann daher nicht ausschließlich anhand deskriptiver Vorgaben gewährleistet werden. Demgemäß sollte perspektivisch auch für frost-tausalzbeanspruchte Bauteile eine performancebasierte Lebensdauerbetrachtung erfolgen. Eine unverzichtbare Grundlage für das Erreichen dieser Ziele ist ein Verständnis für die Schadensvorgänge beim Frost-Tausalz-Angriff. Der Forschungsstand ist jedoch geprägt von widersprüchlichen Schadenstheorien. Somit wurde als Zielstellung für diese Arbeit abgeleitet, die existierenden Schadenstheorien unter Berücksichtigung des aktuellen Wissensstandes zu bewerten und mit eigenen Untersuchungen zu prüfen und einzuordnen. Die Sichtung des Forschungsstandes zeigte, dass nur zwei Theorien das Potential haben, den Frost-Tausalz-Angriff umfassend abzubilden – die Glue Spall Theorie und die Cryogenic Suction Theorie. Die Glue Spall Theorie führt die Entstehung von Abwitterungen auf die mechanische Schädigung der Betonoberfläche durch eine anhaftende Eisschicht zurück. Dabei sollen nur bei moderaten Tausalzkonzentrationen in der einwirkenden Lösung kritische Spannungszustände in der Eisschicht auftreten, die eine Schädigung der Betonoberfläche hervorrufen können. In dieser Arbeit konnte jedoch nachgewiesen werden, dass starke Abwitterungen auch bei Tausalz¬konzentrationen auftreten, bei denen eine mechanische Schädigung des Betons durch das Eis auszuschließen ist. Damit wurde die fehlende Eignung der Glue Spall Theorie aufgezeigt. Die Cryogenic Suction Theorie fußt auf den eutektischen Eigenschaften von Tausalz-lösungen, die im gefrorenen Zustand immer als Mischung auf festem Wassereis und flüssiger, hochkonzentrierter Salzlösung bestehen, solange ihre Eutektikumstemperatur nicht unter¬schritten wird. Die flüssige Phase im salzhaltigen Eis stellt für gefrorenen Beton ein bisher nicht berücksichtigtes Flüssigkeitsreservoir dar, welches trotz der hohen Salzkonzentration die Eisbildung in der Betonrandzone verstärken und so die Entstehung von Abwitterungen verursachen soll. In dieser Arbeit wurde bestätigt, dass die Eisbildung im Zementstein beim Gefrieren in hochkonzentrierter Tausalzlösung tatsächlich verstärkt wird. Das Ausmaß der zusätzlichen Eisbildung wurde dabei auch von der Fähigkeit des Zementsteins zur Bindung von Chloridionen aus der Tausalzlösung beeinflusst. Zusammenfassend wurde festgestellt, dass die Cryogenic Suction Theorie eine gute Beschreibung des Frost-Tausalz-Angriffes darstellt, aber um weitere Aspekte ergänzt werden muss. Die Berücksichtigung der intensiven Sättigung von Beton durch den Prozess der Mikroeislinsenpumpe stellt hier die wichtigste Erweiterung dar. Basierend auf dieser Überlegung wurde eine kombinierte Schadenstheorie aufgestellt. Wichtige Annahmen dieser Theorie konnten experimentell bestätigt werden. Im Ergebnis wurde so die Grundlage für ein tiefergehendes Verständnis des Frost-Tausalz-Angriffes geschaffen. Zudem wurde ein neuer Ansatz identifiziert, um die (potentielle) Verringerung des Frost-Tausalz-Widerstandes klinkerreduzierter Betone zu erklären. N2 - The reduction of the cement clinker content is an important prerequisite for the improvement of the CO2-footprint of concrete. Nevertheless, the durability of such concretes must be sufficient to guarantee a satisfactory service life of structures. Salt frost scaling resistance is a critical factor in this regard, as it is often diminished at increased clinker substitution rates. Furthermore, only insufficient long-term experience for such concretes exists. A high salt frost scaling resistance thus cannot be achieved by applying only descriptive criteria, such as the concrete composition. It is therefore to be expected, that in the long term a performance based service life prediction will replace the descriptive concept. To achieve the important goal of clinker reduction for concretes also in cold and temperate climates it is important to understand the underlying mechanisms for salt frost scaling. However, conflicting damage theories dominate the current State of the Art. It was consequently derived as the goal of this thesis to evaluate existing damage theories and to examine them experimentally. It was found that only two theories have the potential to describe the salt frost attack satisfactorily – the glue spall theory and the cryogenic suction theory. The glue spall theory attributes the surface scaling to the interaction of an external ice layer with the concrete surface. Only when moderate amounts of deicing salt are present in the test solution the resulting mechanical properties of the ice can cause scaling. However, the results in this thesis indicate that severe scaling also occurs at deicing salt levels, at which the ice is much too soft to damage concrete. Thus, the inability of the glue spall theory to account for all aspects of salt frost scaling was shown. The cryogenic suction theory is based on the eutectic behavior of salt solutions, which consist of two phases – water ice and liquid brine – between the freezing point and the eutectic temperature. The liquid brine acts as an additional moisture reservoir, which facilitates the growth of ice lenses in the surface layer of the concrete. The experiments in this thesis confirmed, that the ice formation in hardened cement paste increases due to the suction of brine at sub-zero temperatures. The extent of additional ice formation was influenced mainly by the porosity and by the chloride binding capacity of the hardened cement paste. Consequently, the cryogenic suction theory plausibly describes the actual generation of scaling, but it has to be expanded by some crucial aspects to represent the salt frost scaling attack completely. The most important aspect is the intensive saturation process, which is ascribed to the so-called micro ice lens pump. Therefore a combined damage theory was proposed, which considers multiple saturation processes. Important aspects of this combined theory were confirmed experimentally. As a result, the combined damage theory constitutes a good basis to understand the salt frost scaling attack on concrete on a fundamental level. Furthermore, a new approach was identified, to account for the reduced salt frost scaling resistance of concretes with reduced clinker content.

T1 - Inverse and optimization problems in piezoelectric materials using Extended Finite Element Method and Level sets T1 - Inverse und Optimierungsprobleme für piezoelektrische Materialien mit der Extended Finite Elemente Methode und Level sets N2 - Piezoelectric materials are used in several applications as sensors and actuators where they experience high stress and electric field concentrations as a result of which they may fail due to fracture. Though there are many analytical and experimental works on piezoelectric fracture mechanics. There are very few studies about damage detection, which is an interesting way to prevent the failure of these ceramics. An iterative method to treat the inverse problem of detecting cracks and voids in piezoelectric structures is proposed. Extended finite element method (XFEM) is employed for solving the inverse problem as it allows the use of a single regular mesh for large number of iterations with different flaw geometries. Firstly, minimization of cost function is performed by Multilevel Coordinate Search (MCS) method. The XFEM-MCS methodology is applied to two dimensional electromechanical problems where flaws considered are straight cracks and elliptical voids. Then a numerical method based on combination of classical shape derivative and level set method for front propagation used in structural optimization is utilized to minimize the cost function. The results obtained show that the XFEM-level set methodology is effectively able to determine the number of voids in a piezoelectric structure and its corresponding locations. The XFEM-level set methodology is improved to solve the inverse problem of detecting inclusion interfaces in a piezoelectric structure. The material interfaces are implicitly represented by level sets which are identified by applying regularisation using total variation penalty terms. The formulation is presented for three dimensional structures and inclusions made of different materials are detected by using multiple level sets. The results obtained prove that the iterative procedure proposed can determine the location and approximate shape of material subdomains in the presence of higher noise levels. Piezoelectric nanostructures exhibit size dependent properties because of surface elasticity and surface piezoelectricity. Initially a study to understand the influence of surface elasticity on optimization of nano elastic beams is performed. The boundary of the nano structure is implicitly represented by a level set function, which is considered as the design variable in the optimization process. Two objective functions, minimizing the total potential energy of a nanostructure subjected to a material volume constraint and minimizing the least square error compared to a target displacement, are chosen for the numerical examples. The numerical examples demonstrate the importance of size and aspect ratio in determining how surface effects impact the optimized topology of nanobeams. Finally a conventional cantilever energy harvester with a piezoelectric nano layer is analysed. The presence of surface piezoelectricity in nano beams and nano plates leads to increase in electromechanical coupling coefficient. Topology optimization of these piezoelectric structures in an energy harvesting device to further increase energy conversion using appropriately modified XFEM-level set algorithm is performed .

Furthermore, a large number of existing sanitation facilities in developing countries is out of order. This leads to the conclusion that, besides technical failures, the planning process in the sanitation sector was ineffective. This ineffectiveness may be attributed to the lack of knowledge of the sanitation planners about the local conditions of the sanitation project. In addition, sustainability of a technology is often approached from a fragmented perspective that often leads to an unsustainable solution. The dissertation is conducted within the framework of the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) Indonesia project. The goal of this work is to contribute to the development of a methodology of a planning tool for sustainable sanitation technology. The tool is designed for sanitation planners in developing countries, where a top-down planning approach is common practice. The proposed tool enables comprehensive sustainability assessments (using the Helmholtz Concept of Sustainability as reference), taking into account local conditions. State of the Science In the planning practice, many sanitation planning tools focus on technology selection. However, it has become evident that the selection criteria for sustainable technologies are not always considered in the tools’ framework. In other cases, when the criteria are provided by the tool, there is no clear indication of the conditions to be fulfilled in order to meet these criteria. Specifically, there is no reference to what is meant by sustainable technology in a particular context and how to comprehensively assess the sustainability of different technology options. Research Methodology Developing a planning tool is an empirical process, combining theory and practical experience. Hence, the development process of such a tool requires extensive observations, particularly on the interaction between stakeholders in the sanitation sector as well as between technology and its environment. For this purpose, a case study within the project area was carried out. Pucanganom, a village representing common strategic problems in developing countries (e.g. top-down planning approaches, lack of involvement of beneficiaries in the planning process, lack of sustainability assessments) was finally selected as the case study area. After the in-depth case study, an analytical generalisation was developed to enable the tool’s application to a broader context. Results The result of this research is a new tool – the Sustainability-based Sanitation Planning Tool (SusTA). SusTA enables comprehensive sustainability assessment in its five generic steps, namely: (1) analysis of stakeholders and sanitation policy in the region, (2) distance-to-target analysis on sanitation conditions in the region, (3) examination of physical and socio-economic conditions in the project area, (4) contextualisation of the technology assessment process in the project area, and (5) sustainability-oriented technology assessment at the project level. These steps are conducted at two levels of planning – the region and the project area – in order to identify the specific problems and interests which influence the selection of a sanitation system. Each planning step is equipped with tool elements (e.g. set of indicators, household questionnaires, technology assessment matrices) to support the analysis. From the development of SusTA, it can be concluded that four elements are required for an effective and widely applicable sanitation planning tool: sustainability concept, participatory approach, contextualisation framework and modification framework. SusTA provides both a theoretical and a practical basis for assessing the sustainability of sanitation technologies in developing countries. The tool’s main advantages for decision makers in these countries are: It is simple and transparent in its steps, does not require vast amounts of data and does not need a sophisticated computer program.

The first method proposes an alternative alpha finite element method using triangular elements. In this method, the piecewise constant strain field of linear triangular finite element method models is enhanced by additional strain terms with an adjustable parameter a, which results in an effectively softer stiffness formulation compared to a linear triangular element. In order to avoid the transverse shear locking of Reissner-Mindlin plates analysis the alpha finite element method is coupled with a discrete shear gap technique for triangular elements to significantly improve the accuracy of the standard triangular finite elements. The basic idea behind this element formulation is to approximate displacements and rotations as in the standard finite element method, but to construct the bending, geometrical and shear strains using node-based smoothing domains. Several numerical examples are presented and show that the alpha FEM gives a good agreement compared to several other methods in the literature. Second method, isogeometric analysis based on rational splines over hierarchical T-meshes (RHT-splines) is proposed. The RHT-splines are a generalization of Non-Uniform Rational B-splines (NURBS) over hierarchical T-meshes, which is a piecewise bicubic polynomial over a hierarchical T-mesh. The RHT-splines basis functions not only inherit all the properties of NURBS such as non-negativity, local support and partition of unity but also more importantly as the capability of joining geometric objects without gaps, preserving higher order continuity everywhere and allow local refinement and adaptivity. In order to drive the adaptive refinement, an efficient recovery-based error estimator is employed. For this problem an imaginary surface is defined. The imaginary surface is basically constructed by RHT-splines basis functions which is used for approximation and interpolation functions as well as the construction of the recovered stress components. Numerical investigations prove that the proposed method is capable to obtain results with higher accuracy and convergence rate than NURBS results.

This is accomplished by considering use of non-linear material behavior, notably path dependent thermal hysteresis behavior in the elastic properties. Primary novel factors of this work center on two aspects. 1. Broad material characterization and mechanistic material understanding, giving insight into why this class of material behaves in characteristic manners. 2. Development and implementation of a thermal hysteresis material model and its use to determine impact on overall macroscopic stress predictions. Results highlight microcracking evolution and behavior as the dominant mechanism for material property complexity in this class of materials. Additionally, it was found that for the cases studied, thermal hysteresis behavior impacts relevant peak stress predictions of a heavy-duty diesel particulate filter undergoing a drop-to-idle regeneration by less than ~15% for all conditions tested. It is also found that path independent heating curves may be utilized for a linear solution assumption to simplify analysis. This work brings forth a newly conceived concept of a 3 state, 4 path, thermally induced microcrack evolution process; demonstrates experimental behavior that is consistent with the proposed mechanisms, develops a mathematical framework that describes the process and quantifies the impact in a real world application space.

Thin sections were impregnated with a yellow epoxy resin, to increase the contrast between voids and other phases of the concrete. By the means of different steps of pre-processing, machine learning and python scripts, cracks can be quantified in an area of up to 40 cm2. As a result, the crack area, lengths and widths were estimated automatically within a single workflow. Crack patterns caused by freeze-thaw damages were investigated. To compare the inner degradation of the investigated thin sections, the crack density was used. Cracks in the thin sections were measured manually in two different ways for validation of the automatic determined results. On the one hand, the presented work shows that the width of cracks can be determined pixelwise, thus providing the plot of a width distribution. On the other hand, the automatically measured crack length differs in comparison to the manually measured ones.

The first studies of producing metakaolin were conducted with high quality Vietnamese kaolins. The results showed the potential to produce metakaolin, and its effect has on strength development of mortars and concretes. However, utilisation of a low quality kaolin for producing Vietnamese metakaolin has not been studied so far. The objectives of this study were to produce a good quality metakaolin made from low quality Vietnamese kaolin and to facilitate the utilisation of Vietnamese metakaolin in composite cements. In order to reach such goals, the optimal thermal conversion of Vietnamese kaolin into metakaolin was carried out by many investigations, and as such the optimal conversion is found using the analysis results of DSC/TGA, XRD and CSI. During the calcination in a range of 500 – 800 oC lasting for 1 – 5 hours, the characterisation of calcinated kaolin was also monitored for mass loss, BET surface, PSD, density as well as the presence of the residual water. It is found to have a well correlation between residual water and BET surface. The pozzolanic activity of metakaolin was tested by various methods regarding to the saturated lime method, mCh and TGA-CaO method. The results of the study showed which method is the most suitable one to characterise the real activity of metakaolin and can reach the greatest agreement with concrete performance. Furthermore, the pozzolanic activity results tested using methods were also analysed and compared to each other with respect to the BET surface. The properties of Vietnam metakaolin was established using investigations on water demand, setting time, spread-flowability, and strength. It is concluded that depending on the intended use of composite cement and weather conditions of cure, each Vietnamese metakaolin can be used appropriately to produce (1) a composite cement with a low water demand (2) a high strength of composite cement (3) a composite cement that aims to reduce CO2 emissions and to improve economics of cement products (4) a high performance mortar. The durability of metakaolin mortar was tested to find the needed metakaolin content against ASR, sulfat and sulfuric acid attacks successfully.

However, scant attention has hitherto been directed toward rural municipalities and their innate resources, notably biogenic resources. In this paper, a methodological framework is developed to interconnect resources from waste, wastewater, and agricultural domains for energy utilization. This entails cataloging existing resources, delineating their potential via quantitative assessments utilizing diverse technologies, and encapsulating them in a conceptual model. The formulated models underwent iterative evaluation with engagement from diverse stakeholders. Consequently, 3 main concepts, complemented by 72 sub-concepts, were delineated, all fostering positive contributions to climate protection and providing heat supply in the rural study area. The outcomes’ replicability is underscored by the study area’s generic structure and the employed methodology. Through these inquiries, a framework for the requisite energy transition, with a pronounced emphasis on the coupling of waste, wastewater, and agriculture sectors in rural environments, is robustly analyzed.

Thermoelasticity is one of the important categories of multifield problems which deals with the effect of mechanical and thermal disturbances on an elastic body. In other words, thermoelasticity encompasses the phenomena that describe the elastic and thermal behavior of solids and their interactions under thermo-mechanical loadings. Since providing an analytical solution for general coupled thermoelasticity problems is mathematically complicated, the development of alternative numerical solution techniques seems essential. Due to the nature of numerical analysis methods, presence of error in results is inevitable, therefore in any numerical simulation, the main concern is the accuracy of the approximation. There are different error estimation (EE) methods to assess the overall quality of numerical approximation. In many real-life numerical simulations, not only the overall error, but also the local error or error in a particular quantity of interest is of main interest. The error estimation techniques which are developed to evaluate the error in the quantity of interest are known as “goal-oriented” error estimation (GOEE) methods. This project, for the first time, investigates the classical a posteriori error estimation and goal-oriented a posteriori error estimation in 2D/3D thermoelasticity problems. Generally, the a posteriori error estimation techniques can be categorized into two major branches of recovery-based and residual-based error estimators. In this research, application of both recovery- and residual-based error estimators in thermoelasticity are studied. Moreover, in order to reduce the error in the quantity of interest efficiently and optimally in 2D and 3D thermoelastic problems, goal-oriented adaptive mesh refinement is performed. As the first application category, the error estimation in classical Thermoelasticity (CTE) is investigated. In the first step, a rh-adaptive thermo-mechanical formulation based on goal-oriented error estimation is proposed.The developed goal-oriented error estimation relies on different stress recovery techniques, i.e., the superconvergent patch recovery (SPR), L2-projection patch recovery (L2-PR), and weighted superconvergent patch recovery (WSPR). Moreover, a new adaptive refinement strategy (ARS) is presented that minimizes the error in a quantity of interest and refines the discretization such that the error is equally distributed in the refined mesh. The method is validated by numerous numerical examples where an analytical solution or reference solution is available. After investigating error estimation in classical thermoelasticity and evaluating the quality of presented error estimators, we extended the application of the developed goal-oriented error estimation and the associated adaptive refinement technique to the classical fully coupled dynamic thermoelasticity. In this part, we present an adaptive method for coupled dynamic thermoelasticity problems based on goal-oriented error estimation. We use dimensionless variables in the finite element formulation and for the time integration we employ the acceleration-based Newmark-_ method. In this part, the SPR, L2-PR, and WSPR recovery methods are exploited to estimate the error in the quantity of interest (QoI). By using adaptive refinement in space, the error in the quantity of interest is minimized. Therefore, the discretization is refined such that the error is equally distributed in the refined mesh. We demonstrate the efficiency of this method by numerous numerical examples. After studying the recovery-based error estimators, we investigated the residual-based error estimation in thermoelasticity. In the last part of this research, we present a 3D adaptive method for thermoelastic problems based on goal-oriented error estimation where the error is measured with respect to a pointwise quantity of interest. We developed a method for a posteriori error estimation and mesh adaptation based on dual weighted residual (DWR) method relying on the duality principles and consisting of an adjoint problem solution. Here, we consider the application of the derived estimator and mesh refinement to two-/three-dimensional (2D/3D) thermo-mechanical multifield problems. In this study, the goal is considered to be given by singular pointwise functions, such as the point value or point value derivative at a specific point of interest (PoI). An adaptive algorithm has been adopted to refine the mesh to minimize the goal in the quantity of interest. The mesh adaptivity procedure based on the DWR method is performed by adaptive local h-refinement/coarsening with allowed hanging nodes. According to the proposed DWR method, the error contribution of each element is evaluated. In the refinement process, the contribution of each element to the goal error is considered as the mesh refinement criterion. In this study, we substantiate the accuracy and performance of this method by several numerical examples with available analytical solutions. Here, 2D and 3D problems under thermo-mechanical loadings are considered as benchmark problems. To show how accurately the derived estimator captures the exact error in the evaluation of the pointwise quantity of interest, in all examples, considering the analytical solutions, the goal error effectivity index as a standard measure of the quality of an estimator is calculated. Moreover, in order to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method and show the optimal behavior of the employed refinement method, the results of different conventional error estimators and refinement techniques (e.g., global uniform refinement, Kelly, and weighted Kelly techniques) are used for comparison. N2 - Einleitung und Motivation: 1- Im Laufe der letzten Jahrzehnte wurde den Mehrfeldproblemen und ihrer numerischen Analyse große Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet. Bei Mehrfeldproblemen wird die Wechselwirkung zwischen verschiedenen Feldern wie elastischen, elektrischen, magnetischen, chemischen oder thermischen Feldern untersucht. Eine wichtige Kategorie von Mehrfeldproblemen ist die Thermoelastizität. In der Thermoelastizität werden neben dem mechanischen Feld (Verschiebungen) auch das thermische Feld (Temperatur) und deren Auswirkungen aufeinander untersucht. 2- In fortgeschrittenen und sensible Anwendungen mit Temperaturänderung (z. B. LNG-, CNG- oder LPG-Speichertanks bei Sonnentemperatur im Sommer) ist die Elastizitätstheorie, die nur Verschiebungen berücksichtigt, nicht ausreichend. In diesen Fällen ist die Verwendung einer thermoelastischen Formulierung unumgänglich, um zuverlässige Ergebnisse zu erzielen. 3- Da eine analytische Lösung für thermoelastische Probleme sehr selten bestimmbar ist, wird sie durch numerische Methoden ersetzt. Allerdings sind die numerischen Ergebnisse nicht exakt und approximieren nur die exakte Lösung. Daher sind Fehler in den numerischen Ergebnissen unvermeidlich. 4- In jeder numerischen Simulation ist die Genauigkeit der Approximation das Hauptanliegen. Daher wurden verschiedene Fehlerschätzungstechniken entwickelt, um den Fehler der numerischen Lösung zu schätzen. Die herkömmlichen Fehlerschätzungsmethoden geben nur einen allgemeinen Überblick über die Gesamtgenauigkeit einer Näherungslösung. Bei vielen realen Problemen ist jedoch anstelle der Gesamtgenauigkeit die örtliche Genauigkeit (z. B. die Genauigkeit an einem bestimmten Punkt) von großem Interesse 5- Herkömmliche Fehlerschätzer berechnen Fehler in gewissen Normen. In der Ingenieurpraxis interessieren allerdings Fehler in anderen Zielgrößen, beispielsweise in der Last-Verformungs-Kurve oder in gewissen Spannungs-komponenten und speziellen Positionen. Dafür wurden sog. zielorientierte Fehlerschätzer entwickelt. 6- Die meisten numerischen Methoden unterteilen das Gebiet in kleine Teile (Element/Zelle), um das Problem zu lösen. Die Verwendung sehr feiner Elemente erhöht die Simulationsgenauigkeit, erhöht aber auch die Rechenzeit drastisch. Dieses Problem wird durch adaptive Methoden (AM) gelöst. AM können die Rechenzeit deutlich verringern. Bei adaptiven Methoden spielt die Fehlerschätzung eine Schlüsselrolle. Die Verfeinerung der Diskretisierung wird von einer Fehlerschätzung der Lösung kontrolliert und gesteuert (Elemente mit einem höheren geschätzten Fehler werden zur Verfeinerung/Aufteilung ausgewählt). Problemstellung und Zielsetzung der Arbeit 7- Die thermoelastischen Probleme können in zwei Hauptgruppen eingeteilt werden: Klassische Thermoelastizität (KTE) und klassische gekoppelte Thermoelastizität (KKTE). In jeder Gruppe werden verschiedene thermoelastische Probleme mit verschiedenen Geometrien, und Rand-/Anfangsbedingungen untersucht. In dieser Untersuchung werden die KTE- und KKTE-Probleme numerisch gelöst und alle numerischen Lösungen durch Fehlerschätzung bewertet. 8- In dieser Arbeit werden die Gesamtgenauigkeit der numerischen Lösung durch herkömmliche globale Fehlerschätzverfahren (auch als recovery-basierte Methoden bekannt) und die Genauigkeit der Lösung in bestimmten Punkten durch neue lokale Methoden (z. B. Dual-gewichtete Residuumsmethode oder DWR-Methode) bewertet. 9- Bei den dynamischen thermoelastischen Problemen ändern sich die Problembedin-gungen und anschließend die Lösung mit der Zeit. Daher werden die Fehler in jedem Zeitschritt geschätzt, um die Genauigkeit über die Zeit zu erhalten. 10- In dieser Dissertation wurde eine neue adaptive Gitter-Verfeinerung (AGV)-Technik entwickelt und für thermoelastische Probleme implementiert. Stand der Wissenschaft 11- Da die Thermoelastizität im Vergleich zu anderen mechanischen Bereichen wie der Elastizität nicht so umfangreich untersucht ist, wurden nur sehr begrenzte Untersuchungen durchgeführt, um die numerischen Fehler abzuschätzen und zu kontrollieren. Alle diese Untersuchungen konzentrierten sich auf die konventionellen Techniken, die nur den Gesamtfehler abschätzen können. Um die lokalen Fehler (wie punktweise Fehler oder Fehler an einem bestimmten Punkt) abzuschätzen, ist die Verwendung der zielorientierten Fehlerschätzungstechniken unvermeidlich. Die Implementierung der recovery-basierten zielorientierten Fehlerschätzung in der Thermoelastizität wird vor diesem Projekt nicht untersucht. 12- Viele numerische Analysen der dynamischen thermoelastischen Probleme basieren auf der Laplace-Transformationsmethode. Bei dieser Methode ist es praktisch nicht möglich, den Fehler in jedem Zeitschritt abzuschätzen. Daher wurden bisher die herkömmlichen globalen oder lokalen zielorientierten Fehlerschätzungsverfahren nicht in der dynamischen Thermoelastizität implementiert. 13- Eine der neuesten fortgeschrittenen zielorientierten Fehlerschätzungsmethoden ist die Dual-gewichtete Residuumsmethode (DWR-Methode). Die DWR-Methode, die punktweise Fehler (wie Verschiebungs-, mechanische Spannungs- oder Dehnungsfehler an einem bestimmten Punkt) abschätzen kann, wird bei elastischen Problemen angewendet. Es wurde jedoch kein Versuch unternommen, die DWR-Methode für die thermoelastischen Probleme zu formulieren. 14- In numerischen Simulationen sollte das Gitter verfeinert werden, um den Fehler zu verringern. Viele Verfeinerungstechniken basieren auf den globalen Fehlerschätzern, die versuchen, den Fehler der gesamten Lösung zu reduzieren. Daher sind diese Verfeinerungsmethoden zum reduzieren der lokalen Fehler nicht effizient. Wenn nur die Lösung an bestimmten Punkten interessiert ist und der Fehler dort reduziert werden will, sollten die zielorientierten Verfeinerungsmethoden angewendet werden, die vor dieser Untersuchung nicht in thermoelastischen Problemen entwickelt und implementiert wurden. 15- Die realen Probleme sind in der Regel 3D-Probleme, und die Simulation mit vereinfachten 2D-Fällen zeigt nicht alle Aspekte des Problems. Wie bereits erwähnt, sollten in der numerischen Simulation zur Erhöhung der Genauigkeit Gitterverfeinerungstechniken eingesetzt werden. Die konventionell verfeinerten Gitter, die durch gleichmäßige Aufteilung aller Elemente erreicht werden, erhöhen die Rechenzeit. Diese Simulationszeiterhöhung bei 3D-Problemen ist enorm. Dieses Problem wird durch die Verwendung der intelligenten Verfeinerung anstelle der globalen gleichmäßigen Verfeinerung gelöst. In diesem Projekt wurde erstmals die zielorientierte adaptive Gitterverfeinerung (AGV) bei thermoelastischen 3D-Problemen entwickelt und implementiert. Forschungsmethodik 16- In dieser Arbeit werden die beiden Haupttypen der thermoelastischen Probleme (KTE und KKTE) untersucht. Das System der partiellen Differentialgleichung der Thermoelastizität besteht aus zwei Hauptgleichungen: der herkömmlichen Gleichgewichtsgleichung und der Energiebilanzgleichung. 17- In diesem Projekt wird die Finite-Elemente-Methode (FEM) verwendet, um die Probleme numerisch zu simulieren. 18- Der Computercode zur Lösung von 2D- und 3D-Problemen wurde in den Program-miersprachen MATLAB bzw. C++ entwickelt. Um die Rechenzeit zu verkürzen und die Computerressourcen effizient zu nutzen, wurden Parallelprogrammierungs- und Optimierungsalgorithmen eingesetzt. 19- Nachdem die Probleme numerisch gelöst wurden, wurden zwei verschiedene Arten von globalen und lokalen Fehlerschätzungstechniken implementiert, um den Fehler zu schätzen und die Genauigkeit der Lösung zu messen. Der globale Typ ist die recovery-basierte zielorientierte Fehlerabschätzung, die wiederum in drei Unterkategorien von SPR-, L2-PR- und WSPR-Methoden unterteilt ist. Der lokale Typ ist die dual-gewichtete residuumsbasierte zielorientierte Fehlerabschätzung. Die Formulierung dieser Methoden wurde für thermoelastische Probleme entwickelt. 20- Schließlich wurde nach der Fehlerschätzung die entwickelte AGV-Methode implementiert. Wesentliche Ergebnisse und Schlussfolgerungen 21- In diesem Projekt wurde die Fehlerschätzung der Thermoelastizität in den folgenden drei Schritten untersucht: 1- Recovery-basierte Fehlerschätzung in statischen thermo Problemen (KTE), 2- Recovery-basierte Fehlerabschätzung in dynamischen thermo Problemen (KKTE), 3- Residuumsbasierte Fehlerschätzung in statischen thermo Problemen (KTE), 22- Im ersten Schritt, wurde das recovery-basierte Fehlerschätzverfahren auf mehrere stationäre thermoelastische Probleme angewendet. Einige der untersuchten Probleme verfügen über analytische Lösungen. Der Vergleich der numerischen Ergebnisse mit der analytischen (exakten) Lösung zeigt, dass die WSPR-Methode die genaueste unter den SPR, L2-PR und WSPR Techniken ist. 23- Darüber hinaus schließen wir aus den Ergebnissen des ersten Schritts, dass die zielorientierte Verfeinerung, im Vergleich zur herkömmlichen gleichmäßigen Total-Verfeinerungsmethode, nur ein Drittel der Unbekannten erfordert, um das Problem mit der gleichen Genauigkeit zu lösen. Daher benötigt die zielorientierte Adaptivität im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Methoden viel weniger Rechenzeit, um die gleiche Genauigkeit zu erreichen. 24- Im zweiten Schritt, sind die Fehlerschätzungstechniken dieselben wie im ersten Schritt, aber die untersuchten Probleme sind dynamisch und nicht statisch. Der Vergleich der numerischen Ergebnisse mit den analytischen Ergebnissen in einem Benchmark-Problem bestätigt die Genauigkeit der verwendeten Methode. 25- Die Ergebnisse des zweiten Schritts zeigen, dass die geschätzten Fehler in allen gekoppelten Problemen niedriger sind als die ähnlichen ungekoppelten. Bei diesen Problemen reduziert die Implementierung der entwickelten adaptiven Methode den Fehler erheblich. 26- Im dritten Schritt wurde das residuumsbasierte Fehlerabschätzungsverfahren auf mehrere thermoelastische Probleme im stationären Zustand angewendet. In allen Beispielen wird die Genauigkeit der Methode durch analytische Lösungen überprüft. Die numerischen Ergebnisse zeigen eine sehr gute Übereinstimmung mit der analytischen Lösung sowohl bei 2D- als auch bei 3D-Problemen. 27- Im dritten Schritt werden die Ergebnisse der DWR-Verfeinerung mit Kelly-, W-Kelly- und gleichmäßigen Total-Verfeinerungstechniken verglichen. Die entwickelte DWR-Methode zeigt im Vergleich zu den anderen Methoden die beste Effizienz. Um beispielsweise die Fehlertoleranz von 10-6 zu erreichen, enthält das DWR-Gitter nur 2% unbekannte Parameter im Vergleich zu einem gleichmäßig verfeinerten Gitter. Die Verwendung des DWR-Verfahrens spart daher erhebliche Rechenzeit und Kosten.

The main issues such as optimizing the parameters of the dampers and studying the effects of frequency content of the target earthquakes are addressed. Abstract The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm method is improved by upgrading generic operators, and is utilized to develop a framework for determining the optimum placement and parameters of dampers in tall buildings. A case study is presented in which the optimal placement and properties of dampers are determined for a model of a tall building under different earthquake excitations through computer simulations. Abstract In the second part, a novel framework for the brain learning-based intelligent seismic control of smart structures is developed. In this approach, a deep neural network learns how to improve structural responses during earthquake excitations using feedback control. Abstract Reinforcement learning method is improved and utilized to develop a framework for training the deep neural network as an intelligent controller. The efficiency of the developed framework is examined through two case studies including a single-degree-of-freedom system and a high-rise building under different earthquake excitation records. Abstract The results show that the controller gradually develops an optimum control policy to reduce the vibrations of a structure under an earthquake excitation through a cyclical process of actions and observations. Abstract It is shown that the controller efficiently improves the structural responses under new earthquake excitations for which it was not trained. Moreover, it is shown that the controller has a stable performance under uncertainties.

Konzept für eine ressourcenschonende Betonproduktion N2 - Aktuell findet aufgrund gesellschaftspolitischer Forderungen in vielen Industriezweigen ein Umdenken in Richtung Effizienz und Ökologie aber auch Digitalisierung und Industrie 4.0 statt. In dieser Hinsicht steht die Bauindustrie, im Vergleich zu Industrien wie IT, Automobil- oder Maschinenbau, noch am Anfang. Dabei sind die Potentiale zur Einsparung und Optimierung gerade in der Bauindustrie aufgrund der großen Mengen an zu verarbeiteten Materialien besonders hoch. Die internationale Ressourcen- und Klimadebatte führt verstärkt dazu, dass auch in der Zement- und Betonherstellung neue Konzepte erstellt und geprüft werden. Einerseits erfolgt intensive Forschung und Entwicklung im Bereich alternativer, klimafreundlicher Zemente. Andererseits werden auch auf Seiten der Betonherstellung innovative materialsparende Konzepte geprüft, wie die aktuelle Entwicklung von 3D-Druck mit Beton zeigt. Aufgrund der hohen Anforderungen an Konstruktion, Qualität und Langlebigkeit von Bauwerken, besitzen Betonfertigteile oftmals Vorteile gegenüber Ortbeton. Die hohe Oberflächenqualität und Dauerhaftigkeit aber auch die Gleichmäßigkeit und witterungsunabhängige Herstellung sind Merkmale, die im Zusammenhang mit Betonfertigteilen immer wieder erwähnt werden. Dabei ist es essenziell, dass auch der Betonherstellungsprozess im Fertigteilwerk kritisch hinterfragt wird, damit eine effizientere und nachhaltigere Produktion von Betonfertigteilen möglich wird. Bei der Herstellung von Betonteilen im Fertigteilwerk liegt ein besonderer Fokus auf der Optimierung der Frühfestigkeitsentwicklung. Hohe Frühfestigkeiten sind Voraussetzung für einen hochfrequenten Schalungszyklus, was Arbeiten im 2- bzw. 3-Schichtbetrieb ermöglicht. Oft werden zur Sicherstellung hoher Frühfestigkeiten hochreaktive Zemente in Kombination mit hohen Zementgehalten im Beton und/oder einer Wärmebehandlung eingesetzt. Unter dieser Prämisse ist eine ökologisch nachhaltige Betonproduktion mit verminderter CO2 Bilanz nicht möglich. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein neues Verfahren zur Beschleunigung von Beton eingeführt. Hierbei werden die Bestandteile Zement und Wasser (Zementsuspension) mit Ultraschall vorbehandelt. Ausgangspunkt der Arbeit sind vorangegangene Untersuchungen zum Einfluss von Ultraschall auf die Hydration von Zement bzw. dessen Hauptbestandteil Tricalciumsilikat (C3S), die im Rahmen dieser Arbeit weiter vertieft werden. Darüber hinaus wird die Produktion von Beton mit Ultraschall im Technikumsmaßstab betrachtet. Die so erlangten Erfahrungen dienten dazu, das Ultraschall-Betonmischsystem weiterzuentwickeln und erstmalig zur industriellen Betonproduktion zu nutzen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die Auswirkungen von Ultraschall auf die Hydratation von C3S zunächst weitergehend und grundlegend untersucht. Dies erfolgte mittels Messung der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit, Analyse der Ionenkonzentration (ICP-OES), Thermoanalyse, Messung der BET-Oberfläche sowie einer optischen Auswertung mittels Rasterelektronenmikroskopie (REM). Der Fokus liegt auf den ersten Stunden der Hydratation, also der Zeit, die durch die Ultraschallbehandlung am stärksten beeinflusst wird. In den Untersuchungen zeigt sich, dass die Beschleunigungswirkung von Ultraschall in verdünnten C3S Suspensionen (w/f-Wert = 50) stark von der Portlanditkonzentration der Lösung abhängt. Je niedriger die Portlanditkonzentration, desto größer ist die Beschleunigung. Ergänzende Untersuchungen der Ionenkonzentration der Lösung sowie Untersuchungen am hydratisierten C3S zeigen, dass unmittelbar nach der Beschallung (nach ca. 15 Minuten Hydratation) erste Hydratphasen vorliegen. Die durch Ultraschall initiiere Beschleunigung ist in den ersten 24 Stunden am stärksten und klingt dann sukzessive ab. Die Untersuchungen schließen mit Experimenten an C3S-Pasten (w/f-Wert = 0,50), die die Beobachtungen an den verdünnten Suspensionen bestätigen und infolge der Beschallung ein früheres Auftreten und einen größeren Anteil an C-S-H Phasen zeigen. Es wird gefolgert, dass die unmittelbar infolge von Ultraschall erzeugten C-S-H Phasen als Kristallisationskeim während der folgenden Reaktion dienen und daher Ultraschall als in-situ Keimbildungstechnik angesehen werden kann. Optisch zeigt sich, dass die C-S-H Phasen der beschallten Pasten nicht nur viel früher auftreten, sondern kleiner sind und fein verteilt über die Oberfläche des C3S vorliegen. Auch dieser Effekt wird als vorteilhaft für den sich anschließenden regulären Strukturaufbau angesehen. Im nächsten Schritt wird daher der Untersuchungsfokus vom Modellsystem mit C3S auf Portlandzement erweitert. Hierbei wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie sich eine Änderung der Zusammensetzung der Zementsuspension (w/z-Wert, Fließmittelmenge) beziehungsweise eine Änderung des Ultraschallenergieeintrag auf die Fließeigenschaften und das Erhärtungsverhalten auswirken. Um den Einfluss verschiedener Faktoren gleichzeitig zu betrachten, werden mit Hilfe von statistischen Versuchsplänen Modelle erstellt, die das Verhalten der einzelnen Faktoren beschreiben. Zur Beschreibung der Fließeigenschaften wurde das Setzfließ- und Ausbreitmaß von Zementsuspensionen herangezogen. Die Beschleunigung der Erhärtung wurde mit Hilfe der Ermittlung des Zeitpunkts des normalen Erstarrens der Zementsuspension bestimmt. Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchungen zeigen deutlich, dass die Fließeigenschaften und der Erstarrungsbeginn nicht linear mit steigendem Ultraschall-Energieeintrag verändert werden. Es zeigt sich, dass es besonders bei den Verarbeitungseigenschaften der Portlandzementsuspensionen zur Ausbildung eines spezifischen Energieeintrages kommt, bis zu welchem das Setzfließ- und das Ausbreitmaß erhöht werden. Bei Überschreiten dieses Punktes, der als kritischer Energieeintrag definiert wurde, nimmt das Setzfließ- und Ausbreitmaß wieder ab. Das Auftreten dieses Punktes ist im besonderen Maße abhängig vom w/z-Wert. Mit sinkendem w/z-Wert wird der Energieeintrag, der eine Verbesserung der Fließeigenschaften hervorruft, reduziert. Bei sehr niedrigen w/z-Werten (< 0,35), kann keine Verbesserung mehr beobachtet werden. Wird Fließmittel vor der Beschallung zur Zementsuspension zugegeben, können die Eigenschaften der Zementsuspension maßgeblich beeinflusst werden. In beschallten Suspensionen mit Fließmittel, konnte in Abhängigkeit des Energieeintrages die fließmittelbedingte Verzögerung des Erstarrungsbeginns deutlich reduziert werden. Weiterhin zeigt sich, dass der Energieeintrag, der notwendig ist um den Erstarrungsbeginn um einen festen Betrag zu reduzieren, bei Suspensionen mit Fließmittel deutlich reduziert ist. Auf Grundlage der Beobachtungen an Zementsuspensionen wird der Einfluss von Ultraschall in einen dispergierenden und einen beschleunigenden Effekt unterteilt. Bei hohen w/z-Werten dominiert der dispergierende Einfluss von Ultraschall und der Erstarrungsbeginn wird moderat verkürzt. Bei niedrigeren w/z-Werten der Zementsuspension, dominiert der beschleunigende Effekt wobei kein oder sogar ein negativer Einfluss auf die Verarbeitungseigenschaften beobachtet werden kann. Im nächsten Schritt werden die Untersuchungen auf den Betonmaßstab mit Hilfe einer Technikumsanlage erweitert und der Einfluss eines zweistufigen Mischens (also dem Herstellen einer Zementsuspension im ersten Schritt und dem darauffolgenden Vermischen mit der Gesteinskörnung im zweiten Schritt) mit Ultraschall auf die Frisch- und Festbetoneigenschaften betrachtet. Durch die Anlagentechnik, die mit der Beschallung größerer Mengen Zementsuspension einhergeht, kommen weitere Einflussfaktoren auf die Zementsuspension hinzu (z. B. Pumpgeschwindigkeit, Temperatur, Druck). Im Rahmen der Untersuchungen wurde eine Betonrezeptur mit und ohne Ultraschall hergestellt und die Frisch- und Festbetoneigenschaften verglichen. Darüber hinaus wurde ein umfangreiches Untersuchungsprogramm zur Ermittlung wesentlicher Dauerhaftigkeitsparameter durchgeführt. Aufbauend auf den Erfahrungen mit der Technikumsanlage wurde das Ultraschall-Vormischsystem in mehreren Stufen weiterentwickelt und abschließend in einem Betonwerk zur Betonproduktion verwendet. Die Untersuchungen am Beton zeigen eine deutliche Steigerung der Frühdruckfestigkeiten des Portlandzementbetons. Hierbei kann die zum Entschalen von Betonbauteilen notwendige Druckfestigkeit von 15 MPa deutlich früher erreicht werden. Das Ausbreitmaß der Betone (w/z-Wert = 0,47) wird infolge der Beschallung leicht reduziert, was sich mit den Ergebnissen aus den Untersuchungen an reinen Zementsuspensionen deckt. Bei Applikation eines Überdruckes in der Beschallkammer oder einer Kühlung der Suspension während der Beschallung, kann das Ausbreitmaß leicht gesteigert werden. Allerdings werden die hohen Frühdruckfestigkeiten der ungekühlten beziehungsweise drucklosen Variante nicht mehr erreicht. In den Untersuchungen kann gezeigt werden, dass das Potential durch die Ultraschall-Beschleunigung genutzt werden kann, um entweder die Festigkeitsklasse des Zementes leitungsneutral zu reduzieren (von CEM I 52,5 R auf CEM I 42,5 R) oder eine 4-stündige Wärmebehandlung vollständig zu substituieren. Die Dauerhaftigkeit der Betone wird dabei nicht negativ beeinflusst. In den Untersuchungen zum Sulfat-, Karbonatisierung-, Chlorideindring- oder Frost/Tauwiderstand kann weder ein positiver noch ein negativer Einfluss durch die Beschallung abgeleitet werden. Ebenso kann in einer Untersuchung zur Alkali-Kieselsäure-Reaktion kein negativer Einfluss durch die Ultraschallbehandlung beobachtet werden. In den darauf aufbauenden Untersuchungen wird die Anlagentechnik weiterentwickelt, um die Ultraschallbehandlung stärker an eine reale Betonproduktion anzupassen. In der ersten Iterationsstufe wird das in den Betonuntersuchungen verwendete Anlagenkonzept 1 modifiziert (von der In-line-Beschallung zur Batch-Beschallung) und als Analgenkonzept 2 für weitere Untersuchungen genutzt. Hierbei wird eine neue Betonrezeptur mit höherem w/z-Wert (0,52) verwendet, wobei die Druckfestigkeiten ebenfalls deutlich gesteigert werden können. Im Gegensatz zum ersten Beton, wird das Ausbreitmaß dieser Betonzusammensetzung gesteigert, was zur Reduktion von Fließmittel genutzt wird. Dies deckt sich ebenfalls mit den Beobachtungen an reinen Portlandzementsuspensionen, wo eine deutliche Verbesserung der Fließfähigkeit bei höheren w/z-Werten beschrieben wird. Für diese Betonrezeptur wird ein Vergleich mit einem kommerziell erhältlichen Erhärtungsbeschleuniger (synthetische C-S-H-Keime) angestellt. Hierbei zeigt sich, dass die Beschleunigungswirkung beider Technologien vergleichbar ist. Eine Kombination beider Technologien führt zu einer weiteren deutlichen Steigerung der Frühfestigkeiten, so dass hier von einem synergistischen Effekt ausgegangen werden kann. In der letzten Iterationsstufe, dem Anlagenkonzept 3, wird beschrieben, wie das Mischsystem im Rahmen einer universitären Ausgründung signifikant weiterentwickelt wird und erstmals in einem Betonwerk zur Betonproduktion verwendet wird. Bei den Überlegungen zur Weiterentwicklung des Ultraschall-Mischsystems wird der Fokus auf die Praktikabilität gelegt und gezeigt, dass das ultraschallgestütze Mischsystem die Druckfestigkeitsentwicklung auch im Werksmaßstab deutlich beschleunigen kann. Damit ist die Voraussetzung für eine ökologisch nachhaltige Optimierung eines Fertigteilbetons unter realen Produktionsbedingungen geschaffen worden. N2 - In the past years efficiency and sustainability as well as digitalization has come into focus for many different industries due to environmental and cultural changes. Compared to industries like IT, automotive or machine manufacturing, the building industry is still at the very beginning. Although, due to the large quantities of materials processed, the potential for savings and optimization is especially high in the construction industry. The international discussion on resources and climate is increasingly leading to new concepts being developed and tested in cement and concrete production. On one hand, intensive research and development is taking place in the area of alternative, climate-friendly cements. On the other hand, innovative concepts, like for example 3D-printing, are being tested in concrete production. Due to the construction, quality and durability requirements of buildings, precast concrete elements often have advantages compared to ready-mixed concrete. The high surface quality, durability, as well as the uniformity and weather-independent production are advantages that are repeatedly mentioned when speaking about precast concrete elements. It is necessary though, to discuss the concrete production process in the precast plant to make an efficient and sustainable production of precast concrete elements possible. Precast concrete producers mainly focus on optimizing early strength development. Fast hardening concrete is required for the demolding cycle, to enable shift work in production. Often, to ensure high early strengths, highly reactive cements are used in combination with high cement contents in the concrete and/or heat treatment. This contradicts a sustainable concrete concept. In this thesis, a new method for mixing concrete is discussed. Here, the reactive components of the concrete, cement and water, are pre-treated with ultrasound. Previous investigations on the influence of ultrasound on C3S and cement are the starting point of this work. These are further investigated in as part of this work. Furthermore, the production of concrete with ultrasound is investigated in a pilot scale. The gained experiences were used to further develop the ultrasonic concrete mixing system. Finally, the application of this technology in industrial concrete production is discussed. In this work, the effects of ultrasound on the hydration of C3S are further investigated. For this purpose, the hydration of sonicated suspensions is monitored by measuring the electrical conductivity, analysing the ion concentration by means of ICP-OES, thermal analysis, measuring the BET surface and an optical evaluation by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The focus is on the first hours of hydration. During this time the hydration is most strongly influenced by the ultrasound treatment. The investigations show that the acceleration effect in diluted suspensions (w/s value = 50) is strongly dependent on the portlandite concentration of the solution. The lower the portlandite concentration, the greater the acceleration. Supplementary investigations of the ion concentration of the solution as well as investigations on hydrated C3S show, that first hydrate phases are observable immediately after sonication. The acceleration induced by ultrasound is strongest within the first 24 hours, gradually decreasing beyond this time. The investigations are concluded with experiments on C3S pastes (w/f value = 0.50), which confirm the observations on the diluted suspensions and show an earlier appearance and a greater number of C-S-H phases as a result of sonication. Visually, the C-S-H phases of the sonicated pastes do not only appear much earlier, they are also smaller and finely distributed over the surface of the C3S. In the next step, the focus of the investigation is extended from the model system with C3S to Portland cement. The question to be discussed is how different compositions of the cement suspension (w/c-ratio, amount of superplasticiser) or a change in the ultrasonic energy input affects the flow properties and the hardening behaviour. To consider the influence of different factors simultaneously, models are developed with design of experiments (DoE), which describes the behavior of the individual factors. To describe the workability, the slump of cement suspensions was determined. The acceleration of setting was measured by determining the time of normal setting of the cement suspension. The results of these investigations clearly show that the flow properties and the set time do not change linearly with increasing energy input. It is shown that there is a threshold of the specific energy input up to which the slump is increased. When this point, which is defined as the critical energy input, is exceeded, the slump decreased. The occurrence of this point is particularly dependent on the w/c ratio. As the w/c ratio decreases, the energy input that causes an improvement in the flow properties is reduced. At very low w/c-values (< 0.35), no improvement can be observed. If superplasticiser is added to the cement suspension before sonication, the properties of the cement suspension can be significantly influenced. In sonicated suspensions with superplasticiser, the superplasticiser-induced delay of the set time could be significantly reduced depending on the energy input. Furthermore, the energy input required to reduce the time of solidification is significantly reduced in suspensions with superplasticiser. Based on the observations on cement suspensions, the influence of ultrasound is divided into a dispersing and an accelerating effect. At high w/c-values, the dispersing effect of ultrasound dominates, and the set time is moderately decreased. At lower w/c-values of the cement suspension, the accelerating effect dominates, whereas no or even a negative influence on the workability can be observed. In the next step, the investigations will be extended to the concrete scale with the help of a laboratory plant. Here, the influence of two-stage mixing with ultrasound on the fresh and hardened concrete properties will be discussed. Due to the system set up, which goes hand in hand with the sonication of larger quantities of cement suspension, added further influencing factors to the cement suspension (e.g., Pumping speed, temperature, pressure). As part of the investigations, a concrete composition was produced with as well as without ultrasonic premixing and the fresh and hardened concrete properties were compared. In addition, a comprehensive investigation programme was undertaken to determine essential durability parameters. Based on the experiences with the laboratory device, the ultrasonic premixing system was further developed in several stages and finally used in an industrial concrete plant for concrete production. The results of the concrete investigations examine a significant increase in the early compressive strengths of Portland cement concrete. Here, the compressive strength of 15 MPa, which is required for stripping of concrete components, can be achieved significantly earlier. The slump of the concretes (w/c-value = 0.47) is slightly decreased as a result of sonication, which is in accordance with the results of the investigations on cement suspensions. If an overpressure is applied in the sonication chamber or the suspension is cooled during sonication, the slump can be slightly increased. However, the high early compressive strengths of the non-cooled or non-pressured concrete are no longer achieved. the investigations show that the acceleration potential can be used to either reduce the strength class of the cement without performance loss (e. g. from CEM I 52.5 R to CEM I 42.5 R) or to completely substitute a 4-hour heat treatment. The durability of the concrete is not affected. In the investigations on sulphate, carbonation, chloride penetration or freeze/thaw resistance, neither a positive nor a negative influence can be derived from sonication. Likewise, in an investigation on alkali-silica reaction, no negative influence can be observed due to ultrasonic premixing. Based on these investigations, the ultrasound mixing technology will be further developed in order to decrease the gap between laboratory and industrial production. In the first iteration, the system concept 1 used in the concrete investigations will be modified and used subsequently as system concept 2 for further tests. Here, a new concrete composition with a higher w/c ratio (0.52) is used, through which the compressive strengths can also be significantly increased. In contrast to the first concrete, the slump of this concrete composition is increased, which is used to reduce superplasticiser. This is also in accordance with the observations on Portland cement suspensions, where a clear improvement of the flowability at higher w/c-values is described. For this concrete formulation, a comparison is made with a commercially available hardening accelerator (synthetic C-S-H-seeds). The results show that the acceleration effect of both technologies is comparable. A combination of both technologies leads to a further significant increase in early strength, so a synergistic effect can be assumed. The last iteration stage, the system concept 3, describes how the mixing system is significantly developed within a university spin-off and is used for the first time in a concrete plant for concrete production. The conceptual design of the ultrasonic mixing system for industrial application, focusses on the practicability.it is shown that the mixing system can significantly accelerate the compressive strength development, even in an industrial scale. These results paves the way for optimising precast concrete in terms of sustainability.

One key feature of PD is the nonlocality, which is quite different from the ideas in conventional methods such as FEM and meshless method. However, conventional PD suffers from problems such as constant horizon, explicit algorithm, hourglass mode. In this thesis, by examining the nonlocality with scrutiny, we proposed several new concepts such as dual-horizon (DH) in PD, dual-support (DS) in smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), nonlocal operators and operator energy functional. The conventional PD (SPH) is incorporated in the DH-PD (DS-SPH), which can adopt an inhomogeneous discretization and inhomogeneous support domains. The DH-PD (DS-SPH) can be viewed as some fundamental improvement on the conventional PD (SPH). Dual formulation of PD and SPH allows h-adaptivity while satisfying the conservations of linear momentum, angular momentum and energy. By developing the concept of nonlocality further, we introduced the nonlocal operator method as a generalization of DH-PD. Combined with energy functional of various physical models, the nonlocal forms based on dual-support concept are derived. In addition, the variation of the energy functional allows implicit formulation of the nonlocal theory. At last, we developed the higher order nonlocal operator method which is capable of solving higher order partial differential equations on arbitrary domain in higher dimensional space. Since the concepts are developed gradually, we described our findings chronologically. In chapter 2, we developed a DH-PD formulation that includes varying horizon sizes and solves the "ghost force" issue. The concept of dual-horizon considers the unbalanced interactions between the particles with different horizon sizes. The present formulation fulfills both the balances of linear momentum and angular momentum exactly with arbitrary particle discretization. All three peridynamic formulations, namely bond based, ordinary state based and non-ordinary state based peridynamics can be implemented within the DH-PD framework. A simple adaptive refinement procedure (h-adaptivity) is proposed reducing the computational cost. Both two- and three- dimensional examples including the Kalthoff-Winkler experiment and plate with branching cracks are tested to demonstrate the capability of the method. In chapter 3, a nonlocal operator method (NOM) based on the variational principle is proposed for the solution of waveguide problem in computational electromagnetic field. Common differential operators as well as the variational forms are defined within the context of nonlocal operators. The present nonlocal formulation allows the assembling of the tangent stiffness matrix with ease, which is necessary for the eigenvalue analysis of the waveguide problem. The present formulation is applied to solve 1D Schrodinger equation, 2D electrostatic problem and the differential electromagnetic vector wave equations based on electric fields. In chapter 4, a general nonlocal operator method is proposed which is applicable for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) of mechanical problems. The nonlocal operator can be regarded as the integral form, ``equivalent'' to the differential form in the sense of a nonlocal interaction model. The variation of a nonlocal operator plays an equivalent role as the derivatives of the shape functions in the meshless methods or those of the finite element method. Based on the variational principle, the residual and the tangent stiffness matrix can be obtained with ease. The nonlocal operator method is enhanced here also with an operator energy functional to satisfy the linear consistency of the field. A highlight of the present method is the functional derived based on the nonlocal operator can convert the construction of residual and stiffness matrix into a series of matrix multiplications using the predefined nonlocal operators. The nonlocal strong forms of different functionals can be obtained easily via the concept of support and dual-support. Several numerical examples of different types of PDEs are presented. In chapter 5, we extended the NOM to higher order scheme by using a higher order Taylor series expansion of the unknown field. Such a higher order scheme improves the original NOM in chapter 3 and chapter 4, which can only achieve one-order convergence. The higher order NOM obtains all partial derivatives with specified maximal order simultaneously without resorting to shape functions. The functional based on the nonlocal operators converts the construction of residual and stiffness matrix into a series of matrix multiplication on the nonlocal operator matrix. Several numerical examples solved by strong form or weak form are presented to show the capabilities of this method. In chapter 6, the NOM proposed as a particle-based method in chapter 3,4,5, has difficulty in imposing accurately the boundary conditions of various orders. In this paper, we converted the particle-based NOM into a scheme with interpolation property. The new scheme describes partial derivatives of various orders at a point by the nodes in the support and takes advantage of the background mesh for numerical integration. The boundary conditions are enforced via the modified variational principle. The particle-based NOM can be viewed a special case of NOM with interpolation property when nodal integration is used. The scheme based on numerical integration greatly improves the stability of the method, as a consequence, the operator energy functional in particle-based NOM is not required. We demonstrated the capabilities of current method by solving the gradient solid problems and comparing the numerical results with the available exact solutions. In chapter 7, we derived the DS-SPH in solid within the framework of variational principle. The tangent stiffness matrix of SPH can be obtained with ease, and can be served as the basis for the present implicit SPH. We proposed an hourglass energy functional, which allows the direct derivation of hourglass force and hourglass tangent stiffness matrix. The dual-support is {involved} in all derivations based on variational principles and is automatically satisfied in the assembling of stiffness matrix. The implementation of stiffness matrix comprises with two steps, the nodal assembly based on deformation gradient and global assembly on all nodes.

The considered separation system was a microporous membrane contactor for separation of benzoic acid from water by contacting with an organic phase containing extractor molecules. Indeed, extractive separation is carried out using membrane technology where complex of solute-organic is formed at the interface. The main focus was to develop a simulation methodology for prediction of concentration distribution of solute (benzoic acid) in the feed side of the membrane system, as the removal efficiency of the system is determined by concentration distribution of the solute in the feed channel. The pattern of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) was optimized by finding the optimum membership function, learning percentage, and a number of rules. The ANFIS was trained using the extracted data from the CFD simulation of the membrane system. The comparisons between the predicted concentration distribution by ANFIS and CFD data revealed that the optimized ANFIS pattern can be used as a predictive tool for simulation of the process. The R2 of higher than 0.99 was obtained for the optimized ANFIS model. The main privilege of the developed methodology is its very low computational time for simulation of the system and can be used as a rigorous simulation tool for understanding and design of membrane-based systems. Highlights are, Molecular separation using microporous membranes.

T1 - Briquette Production By The Informal Sector: The Case of UCLA in Iloilo City, Philippines N2 - The construction and operation of a sanitary landfill (SLF) in the Philippines presents concerns on the regulation of the activities of the informal sector in the area. In anticipation of these directives, an association of informal waste reclaimers group called Uswag Calajunan Livelihood Association, Inc. (UCLA) was formed in May 2009. One option identified was the waste-to-energy activity through the production of fuel briquettes. With the availability of raw materials in the area, what was lacking then was an appropriate technology that would cater to their needs. This study, therefore, presented the case of UCLA on how socio-economic and technical aspects was integrated for the development and improvement of a briquetting technology needed in the production of quality briquettes as part of their income generating activities. A non-experimental posttest only design was utilized for the collection of descriptive information. Descriptions and discussions were also made on the enhancement of the briquetting machine from the first hand-press molder developed until the finalized design was attained. Results revealed that the improved briquetting technology withstood the wear and tear of operation showing a significant (P<0.01) increase on the production rate (220 pcs/hr; 4 kg/hr) and bulk density (444.83 kg/m3) of briquettes produced. The quality of cylindrical briquettes produced in terms of bulk density, heating value (15.13 MJ/kg), moisture (6.2%), N and S closely met or has met the requirements of DIN 51731. Based on the operating expenses, the briquettes may be marked-up to Php0.25/pc (USD0.006) or Php15.00/kg (USD0.34) for profit generation. The potential daily earnings of Php130.00 (USD2.95) to Php288.56 (USD6.56) generated in producing briquettes are higher when compared to the majority of waste reclaimers’ daily income of Php124.00 (USD2.82). The high positive response (93%) on the usability of briquettes and the willingness of the respondents (81%) to buy them when sold in the market indicates its promising potential as fuel in the nearby communities. Results of briquette production citing the case of UCLA could be considered as potential source of income given the social, technical, economic and environmental feasibility of the experiment. This method of utilizing wastes in an urban setting of a developing country with similar socio-economic and physical set-ups may also be recommended for testing or replication.

Estimation of the precise characteristics in different scales requires complex and expensive experimental measurements. Potentially, computational methods can provide a platform to determine the fundamental properties before the final experiment. Multi-scale computational modeling leads to the modeling of the various time, and length scales include nano, micro, meso, and macro scales. These scales can be modeled separately or in correlation with coarser scales. Depend on the interested scales modeling, the right selection of multi-scale methods leads to reliable results and affordable computational cost. The present dissertation deals with the problems in various length and time scales using computational methods include density functional theory (DFT), molecular mechanics (MM), molecular dynamics (MD), and finite element (FE) methods. Physical and chemical interactions in lower scales determine the coarser scale properties. Particles interaction modeling and exploring fundamental properties are significant challenges of computational science. Downscale modelings need more computational effort due to a large number of interacted atoms/particles. To deal with this problem and bring up a fine-scale (nano) as a coarse-scale (macro) problem, we extended an atomic-continuum framework. The discrete atomic models solve as a continuum problem using the computationally efficient FE method. MM or force field method based on a set of assumptions approximates a solution on the atomic scale. In this method, atoms and bonds model as a harmonic oscillator with a system of mass and springs. The negative gradient of the potential energy equal to the forces on each atom. In this way, each bond's total potential energy includes bonded, and non-bonded energies are simulated as equivalent structural strain energies. Finally, the chemical nature of the atomic bond is modeled as a piezoelectric beam element that solves by the FE method. Exploring novel materials with unique properties is a demand for various industrial applications. During the last decade, many two-dimensional (2D) materials have been synthesized and shown outstanding properties. Investigation of the probable defects during the formation/fabrication process and studying their strength under severe service life are the critical tasks to explore performance prospects. We studied various defects include nano crack, notch, and point vacancy (Stone-Wales defect) defects employing MD analysis. Classical MD has been used to simulate a considerable amount of molecules at micro-, and meso- scales. Pristine and defective nanosheet structures considered under the uniaxial tensile loading at various temperatures using open-source LAMMPS codes. The results were visualized with the open-source software of OVITO and VMD. Quantum based first principle calculations have been conducting at electronic scales and known as the most accurate Ab initio methods. However, they are computationally expensive to apply for large systems. We used density functional theory (DFT) to estimate the mechanical and electrochemical response of the 2D materials. Many-body Schrödinger's equation describes the motion and interactions of the solid-state particles. Solid describes as a system of positive nuclei and negative electrons, all electromagnetically interacting with each other, where the wave function theory describes the quantum state of the set of particles. However, dealing with the 3N coordinates of the electrons, nuclei, and N coordinates of the electrons spin components makes the governing equation unsolvable for just a few interacted atoms. Some assumptions and theories like Born Oppenheimer and Hartree-Fock mean-field and Hohenberg-Kohn theories are needed to treat with this equation. First, Born Oppenheimer approximation reduces it to the only electronic coordinates. Then Kohn and Sham, based on Hartree-Fock and Hohenberg-Kohn theories, assumed an equivalent fictitious non-interacting electrons system as an electron density functional such that their ground state energies are equal to a set of interacting electrons. Exchange-correlation energy functionals are responsible for satisfying the equivalency between both systems. The exact form of the exchange-correlation functional is not known. However, there are widely used methods to derive functionals like local density approximation (LDA), Generalized gradient approximation (GGA), and hybrid functionals (e.g., B3LYP). In our study, DFT performed using VASP codes within the GGA/PBE approximation, and visualization/post-processing of the results realized via open-source software of VESTA. The extensive DFT calculations are conducted 2D nanomaterials prospects as anode/cathode electrode materials for batteries. Metal-ion batteries' performance strongly depends on the design of novel electrode material. Two-dimensional (2D) materials have developed a remarkable interest in using as an electrode in battery cells due to their excellent properties. Desirable battery energy storage systems (BESS) must satisfy the high energy density, safe operation, and efficient production costs. Batteries have been using in electronic devices and provide a solution to the environmental issues and store the discontinuous energies generated from renewable wind or solar power plants. Therefore, exploring optimal electrode materials can improve storage capacity and charging/discharging rates, leading to the design of advanced batteries. Our results in multiple scales highlight not only the proposed and employed methods' efficiencies but also promising prospect of recently synthesized nanomaterials and their applications as an anode material. In this way, first, a novel approach developed for the modeling of the 1D nanotube as a continuum piezoelectric beam element. The results converged and matched closely with those from experiments and other more complex models. Then mechanical properties of nanosheets estimated and the failure mechanisms results provide a useful guide for further use in prospect applications. Our results indicated a comprehensive and useful vision concerning the mechanical properties of nanosheets with/without defects. Finally, mechanical and electrochemical properties of the several 2D nanomaterials are explored for the first time—their application performance as an anode material illustrates high potentials in manufacturing super-stretchable and ultrahigh-capacity battery energy storage systems (BESS). Our results exhibited better performance in comparison to the available commercial anode materials.

Dass die Quantität und Qualität der in natürlicher Umgebung wachsenden Makroalgen schwankt, reduziert jedoch deren Verwertbarkeit und erschwert die Erschließung hochpreisiger Marktsegmente. Zudem ist eine Ausweitung der Zucht in marinen und küstennahen Aquakulturen in Europa gegenwärtig wenig aussichtsreich, da vielversprechende Areale bereits zum Fischfang oder als Erholungs- bzw. Naturschutzgebiete ausgewiesen sind. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird demzufolge ein geschlossenes Photobioreaktorsystem zur Makroalgenkultivierung entwickelt, welches eine umfassende Kontrolle der abiotischen Kultivierungsparameter und eine effektive Aufbereitung des Kulturmediums vorsieht, um eine standortunabhängige Algenproduktion zu ermöglichen. Zur Bilanzierung des Gesamtkonzeptes einer Kultivierung und Verwertung (stofflich oder energetisch) werden die spezifischen Wachstumsraten und Methanbildungspotentiale der Algenarten Ulva intestinalis, Fucus vesiculosus und Palmaria palmata in praktischen Versuchen ermittelt. Im Ergebnis wird für den gegenwärtigen Entwicklungsstand der Kultivierungsanlage eine positive Bilanz für die stoffliche Verwertung der Algenart Ulva intestinalis und eine negative Bilanz für die energetische Verwertung aller untersuchten Algenarten erzielt. Wird ein Optimalszenario betrachtet, indem die Besatzdichten und Wachstumsraten der Algen in der Zucht erhöht werden, bleibt die Energiebilanz negativ. Allerdings summieren sich die finanzielle Einnahmen durch einen Verkauf der Algen als Produkt auf jährlich 460.869€ für Ulva intestinalis, 4.010€ für Fucus vesiculosus und 16.913€ für Palmaria palmata. Im Ergebnis ist insbesondere eine stoffliche Verwertung der gezüchteten Grünalge Ulva intestinalis anzustreben und die Produktivität der Zuchtanlage im Sinne des Optimalszenarios zu steigern. N2 - Marine macroalgae have renown properties as feedstock for fuel, food or pharmaceuticals. However, since the quantity and quality of naturally grown algae vary widely, their exploitability is reduced – especially for producers in high priced markets. Moreover, the expansion of marine or shore-based cultivation systems is unlikely in Europe, since promising sites either lie in fishing zones, recreational areas or natural reserves. The aim of this thesis was therefore to develop a closed photobioreactor system enabling full control of abiotic environmental parameters and an effective reconditioning of the cultivation medium in order to produce marine macroalgae at sites distant from shore. Using environmental management accounting methods, the potential output of macroalgae cultivation and valorization (product- or energy-based) is being assessed based on the specific growth rates and methane yields achievable with the species Ulva intestinalis, Fucus vesiculosus and Palmaria palmata. The balancing results for the status quo of the developed cultivation system show a positive outcome for a product-based valorization of the species Ulva intestinalis and a negative outcome for an energy-based valorization of all species investigated. Considering an optimum scenario providing an increase of growth rates and culture density, the balance of an energy-based valorization remains negative for all three species. However, the financial income by selling the cultivated macroalgae as a product sums up to a yearly amount of 460.869€ for Ulva intestinalis, 4.010€ for Fucus vesiculosus and 16.913€ for Palmaria palmata. Concluding, a product-based valorization seems promising – especially for the green algae Ulva intestinalis – when the productivity of the developed cultivation system is increased in accordance to the framework of the optimum scenario.

Die zeit- und temperaturabhängige Alterungskinetik von ATZ wurde durch neun Tempera-turstufen in einem Temperaturbereich von 50 °C bis 134 °C untersucht und die kinetischen Parameter nummerisch bestimmt. Für 3Y-TZP wurde diese Prozedur bei drei Temperaturen im Temperaturbereich von 70 °C bis 134 °C angewendet. Aufgrund des ARRHENIUS-Verhaltens der Umwandlungskinetik konnte der zeitliche Verlauf der isotherm stattfinden-den hydrothermal induzierten Phasentransformation bei Körpertemperatur simuliert wer-den. Die Simulation dient zur Bewertung der Langzeitstabilität von medizinischen Implanta-ten aus ATZ bzw. 3Y-TZP. Die Untersuchungen wurden in Wasser und in Wasserdampf bzw. wasserdampfgesättigter Luft durchgeführt. Die Langzeitsimulation für 3Y-TZP wurde an-hand von Explantat-Untersuchungen verifiziert. ATZ zeigt gegenüber 3Y-TZP eine höhere Alterungsstabilität bezogen auf die zeitliche Ent-wicklung der monoklinen Phase. Im Hinblick auf die Oberflächenhärte, die durch die Pha-senumwandlung stark beeinflusst wird, erweist sich ATZ über einen langen Alterungszeit-raum stabiler als 3Y-TZP. Bis zu einem monoklinen Gehalt von 40 % beweist ATZ einen deutlichen Härtevorteil gegenüber 3Y TZP, dieser entspricht in der Langzeitsimulation für die Wasserlagerung ca. 35 Jahre. Das wirkt sich insbesondere bei Verschleißpaarungen wie beim künstlichen Hüftgelenk positiv aus. Verschleißuntersuchungen an einer neu entwickelten Kugel-auf-Scheibe-Geometrie mit li-nearer Kinematik, die dem Hüftgelenk nachempfunden wurde, belegen die vorteilhaften Verschleißeigenschaften von ATZ in Form von sehr geringen Abtragsraten und einer intak-ten Oberfläche nach 720 000 absolvierten Zyklen. Dabei wurde sogar eine Aufhärtung der Oberfläche durch die Verschleißbeanspruchung um bis zu 8 % nachgewiesen. Bei der tiefengemittelten Charakterisierung der hydrothermalen Alterung wurde in beiden Materialtypen festgestellt, dass die Geschwindigkeit der Phasentransformation neben der Temperatur merklich von der Änderung der H2O-Stoffmengenkonzentrantion an der Ober-fläche der Keramik abhängig ist, was sich mit den unterschiedlichen Aktivierungsenergien für Wasser- bzw. Wasserdampflagerung belegen lässt. Die Aktivierungsenergie Ea der hyd-rothermalen Phasentransformation wurde mit Hilfe der ARRHENIUS-Beziehung ermittelt und beträgt für ATZ bei Wasserdampflagerung 102 kJ/mol und bei Wasserlagerung 92 kJ/mol. Für Y-TZP beträgt die Aktivierungsenergie 114 kJ/mol bei Wasserdampflagerung und 102 kJ/mol bei Wasserlagerung. Der resultierende präexponentielle Faktor k0 unterscheidet sich für Wasserlagerung und Wasserdampflagerung um eine Größenordnung, was auf einen leicht andersartigen thermisch aktivierten Gesamtprozess hinweist. Der Avrami-Exponent n, der einen Hinweis auf den Mechanismus der Keimbildung sowie deren geometrische Ordnung geben kann, zeigte keine signifikante Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur und vom Umgebungsmedium. Er ist dagegen zeitabhängig und fällt mit zuneh-mender Alterungszeit, d.h. mit zunehmendem monoklinem Gehalt von ca. 4 auf 0,5 ab, was auf eine abnehmende Keimbildungsrate hindeutet. In Verbindung mit weiteren Untersu-chungen durch unabhängige und zum Teil tiefenauflösende Methoden wie GIXRD, NRA und Knoop-Mikrohärte-Messungen lässt sich der Alterungsmechanismus, bzw. sein zeitlicher und örtlicher Ablauf, durch die drei Stadien A, B und C beschreiben: A 0-5 ma. % m-ZrO2 Quasi-homogene Keimbildung an bevorzugten Orten wie Kornkan-ten und Kornecken (n≈4), Wassertransport wahrscheinlich via Korngrenzendiffusion, Aufhärtung der Oberfläche B 5-40 ma. % m-ZrO2 Keimbildung an den Korngrenzflächen bis zur Keimsättigung (n≈2), monokline Randschicht wächst zeitlich linear, Wassertransport konvektiv über Mikrorisse, deutlicher Härteverlust der Oberfläche C ≥ 40 ma. % m-ZrO2 Wachstum der monoklinen Kristallite von den Korngrenzflächen in die tetragonalen Kristallite unter starker Verzwillingung (n≈0,5), Abnahme der tetragonalen Kristallitgröße, starke Mikrorissbildung, dramatischer Rückgang der Oberflächenhärte Die Kristallitgröße der monoklinen Phase verbleibt im ATZ über alle drei Abschnitte bei 30 ±5 nm. Ein Anwachsen der Kristallite ist mechanische behindert. Kleinere monokline Kristallite sind im ATZ thermodynamisch instabil. Die Kristallitgröße der tetragonalen Phase fällt in den Abschnitten A und B sehr langsam und in C sehr schnell bis auf 25 nm ab. Bei dieser Kristallitgröße ist die tetragonale Phase gegenüber der monoklinen Phase thermody-namisch stabil. Diese residualen tetragonalen Kristallite weisen nach vollständigem Reakti-onsablauf einem Anteil von 7 ma. % auf. Der Sättigungsgehalt der monoklinen Phase betrug in beiden Materialen unabhängig von der Temperatur bzw. dem Umgebungsmedium 75 % der ZrO2-Phase. In Abschnitt C besitzt die residuale tetragonale Phase eine starke Orientierung. Dadurch wird die geometrische Bedingtheit der hydrothermal induzierten Phasenumwandlung ver-deutlicht. Die monokline Phase ist über den gesamten Alterungsprozess stark nach m(1 1  1) orientiert, was mit einer bevorzugten Umklapprichtung der c-Achse zur freien Oberfläche hin verbunden ist. Mit Hilfe der tiefenaufgelösten Phasenanalyse konnte die Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit der monoklinen Randschicht von der Oberfläche in das Volumen untersucht werden. Die Ge-schwindigkeit des Schichtwachstums ist in Abschnitt B nicht zeit- und tiefenabhängig, son-dern konstant mit ausgeprägtem ARRHENIUS-Verhalten (Temperaturabhängigkeit). Die Akti-vierungsenergie der Schichtwachstumsgeschwindigkeit km liegt in der gleichen Größenord-nung wie die der Transformationskonstante k. Die Umwandlungszone schreitet also mit konstanter Geschwindigkeit in das Volumen fort und hinterlässt ein verzweigtes Mikro- und Nanoriss-System. FESEM-Aufnahmen bestätigen das Vorhandensein einer porösen Randschicht, durch die das Wasser nahezu ungehindert eindringen kann. NRA Untersuchungen deuten in Stadium A auf Korngrenzendiffusion hin und bestätigen in Stadium B einen konvektiven Transport des Wassers an die Transformationszone. Eine Dif-fusion über Sauerstoffleerstellen im Gitter konnte anhand von Proben aus 8YSZ nicht nach-gewiesen werden. Dagegen kommt es in dem verzweigten Riss- und Porensystem in der gealterten Randschicht zum Rücktransport des Wassers an die Oberfläche, sobald die Pro-ben aus der hydrothermalen Atmosphäre genommen, an Luft gelagert oder in die Hochva-kuumkammer der NRA-Messapparatur eingeschleust werden. Mikrostrukturelle Untersuchungen an eigens entwickelten Verschleißpaarungen zeigten nach 720000 Zyklen ähnliche Oberflächeneigenschaften wie im Alterungsstadium A. Man kann daher davon ausgehen, dass die Stadien B und C aus Stabilitätsgründen in der tribolo-gischen Kontaktzone nicht existieren können und es dass sich im Falle einer gleichzeitigen, hydrothermalen und tribologischen Beanspruchung um einen stationären Alterungs- und Verschleißprozess handelt. Durch quasiplastische Deformation der monoklinen und tetra-gonalen Kristallite wird die Verschleißrate und die Abriebpartikel bei einer hart /hart Paa-rung aus ATZ deutlich minimiert, so dass ATZ für die Hüftendoprothetik ein durchaus geeig-neten Werkstoff darstellt, der sich auf der Grundlage der in dieser Arbeit gewonnenen Daten über eine Imlantationsdauer von .mehr als 15 Jahre stabil verhalten kann.

However, these computational techniques require extensive hardware resources with respect to computing power and main memory to solve numerically large-scale discretized models in 3D. Due to a very high number of degrees of freedom, which may rapidly be increased to the two-digit million range, the limited hardware ressources are to be utilized in a most efficient way to enable an execution of the numerical algorithms in minimal computation time. Hence, in the field of computational mechanics, various methods and algorithms can lead to an optimized runtime behavior of nonlinear simulation models, where several approaches are proposed and investigated in this thesis. Today, the numerical simulation of damage effects in heterogeneous materials is performed by the adaption of multiscale methods. A consistent modeling in the three-dimensional space with an appropriate discretization resolution on each scale (based on a hierarchical or concurrent multiscale model), however, still contains computational challenges in respect to the convergence behavior, the scale transition or the solver performance of the weak coupled problems. The computational efficiency and the distribution among available hardware resources (often based on a parallel hardware architecture) can significantly be improved. In the past years, high-performance computing (HPC) and graphics processing unit (GPU) based computation techniques were established for the investigationof scientific objectives. Their application results in the modification of existing and the development of new computational methods for the numerical implementation, which enables to take advantage of massively clustered computer hardware resources. In the field of numerical simulation in material science, e.g. within the investigation of damage effects in multiphase composites, the suitability of such models is often restricted by the number of degrees of freedom (d.o.f.s) in the three-dimensional spatial discretization. This proves to be difficult for the type of implementation method used for the nonlinear simulation procedure and, simultaneously has a great influence on memory demand and computational time. In this thesis, a hybrid discretization technique has been developed for the three-dimensional discretization of a three-phase material, which is respecting the numerical efficiency of nonlinear (damage) simulations of these materials. The increase of the computational efficiency is enabled by the improved scalability of the numerical algorithms. Consequently, substructuring methods for partitioning the hybrid mesh were implemented, tested and adapted to the HPC computing framework using several hundred CPU (central processing units) nodes for building the finite element assembly. A memory-efficient iterative and parallelized equation solver combined with a special preconditioning technique for solving the underlying equation system was modified and adapted to enable combined CPU and GPU based computations. Hence, it is recommended by the author to apply the substructuring method for hybrid meshes, which respects different material phases and their mechanical behavior and which enables to split the structure in elastic and inelastic parts. However, the consideration of the nonlinear material behavior, specified for the corresponding phase, is limited to the inelastic domains only, and by that causes a decreased computing time for the nonlinear procedure. Due to the high numerical effort for such simulations, an alternative approach for the nonlinear finite element analysis, based on the sequential linear analysis, was implemented in respect to scalable HPC. The incremental-iterative procedure in finite element analysis (FEA) during the nonlinear step was then replaced by a sequence of linear FE analysis when damage in critical regions occured, known in literature as saw-tooth approach. As a result, qualitative (smeared) crack initiation in 3D multiphase specimens has efficiently been simulated.

Aus diesem Grund wurde das EU – Forschungsprojekt „ Climate for Culture“ ins Leben gerufen, um Auswirkungen dieses Klimawandels auf denkmalgeschützte, kulturhistorische Gebäude zu untersuchen. Ziel ist es, entsprechende Schutzmaßnahmen in konservatorischer Hinsicht zu erarbeiten. Aufgrund des Zusammenhanges zwischen Temperatur und Luftfeuchte führt diese Klimaerwärmung auch zu einer Änderung des Feuchtehaushaltes im Außenbereich und, bedingt durch einen immer vorhandenen Luftwechsel, schließlich auch im Innenbereich von Gebäuden. Die Fähigkeit eines Gebäudes, durch seine Beschaffenheit auf Feuchteeinflüsse zu reagieren, wird maßgeblich bestimmt durch seine Möglichkeit, in der Gebäudehülle und der vorhandenen Einrichtung anfallende Feuchte zwischenzuspeichern und diese zeitversetzt wieder an die Umgebung abzugeben. Diese Fähigkeit sorptiver Flächen zur Feuchtepufferung konnte bislang nur mit erheblichem Aufwand ermittelt werden.

Die Kenntnis dieser Bedingungen wird als Voraussetzung für die Benennung von Erfolgsfak-toren für die Implementation neuer Steuerungsmodelle angenommen. Analysiert wurden daher die liegenschaftspolitischen und die organisatorischen Rahmenbedingungen sowie die steuerungsrelevanten Eigenschaften der Flächen selber. N2 - A main goal of this research project is to develop models for space allocation and management in universities. Based on the experiences of space management in other areas of public administration and research institutions, possible methods for space management in higher education have been analyzed. A management model has been developed which reacts to universities internal and external parameters. Space allocation in higher education is depending on external conditions as well as on internal processes and structures. Knowing those parameters has been assumed to build the foundation to appoint the factors of success for the implementation of new space management models. Therefore parameters of property policy, organization and relevant characteristics of management of Space have been analyzed.

Ziel der Arbeit war die Klärung, wie eine unterschiedliche Kationenbelegung mit Cu2+ und NH4+ die Eigenschaften der Bentonite bei Raumtemperatur und nach moderater Wärmebehandlung (300 – 450°C) beeinflusst. Im Blickpunkt stand insbesondere die gleichzeitige Präsenz von Kupfer- und Ammoniumionen, die als Vertreter für häufig auftretende Inhaltsstoffe von Wässern in der Umgebung von technischen Bentoniten ausgewählt wurden. Die Untersuchungen zur Cu2+-Sorption bei Raumtemperatur und nach moderater Wärmebehandlung (300 – 450°C) erfolgten an Pulverproben von zwei technischen Bentoniten, die sich in der ursprünglichen Kationenbelegung, Art und Anteil an Nebengemengteilen, sowie der Schichtladungsverteilung in den Montmorilloniten unterscheiden. Vor der Wärmebehandlung wurden die Bentonite durch Kontakt mit verschieden konzentrierten Kupfer- und Ammoniumlösungen mit unterschiedlichen Gehalten der Kationen Cu2+, NH4+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+ belegt. Der Eintrag von Kupferionen in die Bentonite durch Kationenaustausch bei Raumtemperatur wurde erwartungsgemäß durch präsente Nebengemengteile (wie Carbonat) beeinflusst, so dass die Kupferionen zusätzlich spezifisch adsorbiert und in festen Phasen angereichert wurden. Die Cu2+-Fixierung infolge der Wärmebehandlung wurde vom Cu2+-Totalgehalt in den Bentoniten, der Präsenz von Nebengemengteilen und die Schichtladungsverteilung in den Montmorilloniten beeinflusst. Es waren generell Behandlungstemperaturen von > 400°C erforderlich, um Cu2+-Fixierungsraten von > 95% zu erzielen. Waren während der Wärmebehandlung neben Cu2+-Ionen gleichzeitig NH4+-Ionen in den Bentoniten präsent, konnte die Cu2+-Fixierungstemperatur herabgesetzt werden. Die Deammonisierung (NH4+ --> NH3 + H+) der NH4+-belegten Bentonite fand größtenteils unterhalb der Dehydroxylierungstemperatur der Bentonite statt. Durch Untersuchungen (XRD, FTIR, NMR, ESR) zum Mechanismus der Cu2+-Einbindung in die Bentonite an speziell aufbereiteten Proben (carbonatfrei, < 2 µm) konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass in den Cu2+-belegten Montmorilloniten die Cu2+-Ionen infolge der Wärmebehandlung nicht bis in die Oktaederschicht der Tonminerale vordringen, sondern nur bis in die Tetraederschicht wandern. In den NH4+-belegten Montmorilloniten treten im Zusammenhang mit der Deammonisierung keine zusätzlichen Strukturänderungen (wie Auflösung der Oktaederschicht) infolge der Wärmebehandlung auf.

Therefore, the demand for railway transportation is increasing around the world. Constructing railway tracks and related engineering structures in areas with loose or soft cohesive subgrade usually leads to problems, such as excessive settlement, deformation and instability. Several remedies have been proposed to avoid or reduce such problems, including the replacement of soft soil and the construction of piles or stone columns. This thesis aims to expand the geotechnical knowledge of how to improve subgrade ballasted railway tracks, using stone columns and numerical modeling for the railway infrastructure. Three aspects are considered: i) railway track dynamics modeling and validation by field measurements, ii) modeling and parametric studies on stone columns, and iii) studies on the linear and non-linear behavior of stone columns under the dynamic load of trains. The first step of this research was to develop a reliable numerical model of a railway track. The finite element method in a time domain was used for either a 2D plane strain or 3D analysis. Individual methods for modeling a train load in 2D and 3D were implemented and are discussed in this thesis. The developed loading method was validated with three different railway tracks using obtained vibration measurements. Later, these numerical models were used to analyze the influence of stone column length and train speed in the stress field. The performance of the treated ground depends on various parameters, such as the strength of stone columns, spacing, length and diameter of the columns. Therefore, the second step was devoted to a parameter study of stone columns as a unit cell with an axisymmetric condition. The results showed that even short stone columns were effective for settlement reduction, and area of replacement was the main influential parameter in their performance. The third part of this thesis focuses on a hypothetical railway-track response to the passage of various train speeds and the influence of stone-column length. The stress-strain response of subgrade is analyzed under either an elastic–perfectly plastic or advanced constitutive model. The non-linear soil response in the finite element method and the impact of train speed and stone column length on railway tracks are also evaluated. Moreover, the reductions of induced vibration – in both a horizontal and a vertical direction – after improvement are investigated.

A descriptive narrative of the evolutionary process of the living heritage site of a Sufi shrine is undertaken in this research. It focuses on the changing relationship between the spatial and socio-cultural aspects over time. The larger or macro regional context is interrelated to the micro architectural context. The tangible heritage is defined by and intimately tied to the intangible aspects of the heritage. It is these constituting macro and micro elements and their interrelationships particularly through space and architecture that the research thesis explores in its documentation and analysis. The Sufi shrine in the South Asian Pakistani context is representative of a larger culture in the precolonial era. It is an expression of an indigenous modernity, belonging to a certain time period, place and community. The Sufi shrine as a building type has evolved from the precolonial time period, particularly starting at the golden ages of the Muslim Empire in the world (9th – 12th century), through the colonial age when western modernity arrived until the current neoliberal paradigm within the post independence period. Continued and evolved use of space, ritualistic performances, multiple social groups using the site are various elements whose documentation and analysis can establish the essential co-relations that contribute to continuity of its historical living. Physical and social relation of the historic site to its immediate settlement context is also a significant element that preserves the socio-cultural context. The chosen case of the Shrine of Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, situated in the small town of Bhitshah in the province of Sindh, Pakistan forms a unique example where the particular physical and socio-cultural environment forms the context within which the Sufi heritage lives and survives. It is well integrated within its context at multiple levels. What are these levels and how do the constituting elements integrate is a major subject of research? These form the background to defining some of the basic issues and questions addressed in this doctoral thesis. Given that living heritage sites are unique due to their particular association to the context, the case study method was used to gain deeper insight and understanding on the topic.

To answer that, the city needs to be recognized as both a physical and a social entity and urban theory and practice need to connect these (Hillier 2007). The present research aims to re-examine the complex correlation between spatial and social inequality manifestations in the city of Tehran regarding the concept of segregation. It observes the causes and consequences of segregation in Tehran and provides an insight into both concepts of socio-spatial segregation and neighborhood effects and creates a link between them. First, I argue when, where, and for whom spatial locations affect the chances of social networks in Tehran. Then, I discuss how neighborhood effects can emerge via social network mechanisms and thus affect the perceptions of residents in the neighborhoods.

The discussers argue that their approach is conceptually incorrect and thus leads to a physically unrealistic situation. In addition, the discussers found some wrong mathematical expressions (which are assumed to be typos) written in the paper, and also point out that the authors did not cite some of the original papers on the topic.

Da die Beseitigung dieser Schäden oft mit hohen Kosten verbunden ist, besteht in der Baupraxis der Bedarf an einer Identifizierungsmethode für eingesetzte Baustoffe. Daneben wäre eine Kenntnis der in einem Bauwerk vorliegenden Materialien auch für Instandhaltungsarbeiten hilfreich. Die Identifizierung der in einem Festbeton oder Festmörtel vorliegenden Zementart gilt auch gegenwärtig noch als schwierig oder sogar unmöglich. Die Schwierigkeiten ergeben sich in erste Linie daraus, dass die Hydratationsprodukte verschiedener Zementarten oft nur geringe Unterschiede in ihrer chemischen und mineralogischen Zusammensetzung aufweisen und die Hydratationsmechanismen bei einigen Zementarten noch nicht vollständig erforscht sind. Primäres Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es zu untersuchen, ob anhand des Mineralphasenbestandes, der sich während einer thermischen Behandlung von Zementsteinen einstellt, eine Identifizierung der vorliegenden Zementart möglich ist. Weiterhin sollte die Übertragbarkeit dieser Ergebnisse auf Betone und Mörtel eingeschätzt werden. Zur Schaffung von Identifizierungsmerkmalen wurden die (angereicherten) Zementsteine bei Temperaturen im Bereich zwischen 600 °C und 1400 °C thermisch behandelt. An den getemperten Proben wurde der Mineralphasenbestand mittels Röntgendiffraktometrie bestimmt. Mit der gleichen Methode wurden die Ausgangszemente und die (angereicherten) Zementsteine untersucht. Aus der Gegenüberstellung der nachgewiesenen Mineralphasen konnten die gesuchten Identifizierungsmerkmale abgeleitet werden. Um den Einfluss der Gesteinskörnungen auf die Identifizierungsmöglichkeiten gesondert zu erfassen, wurde das Versuchsprogramm auf 3 Abstraktionsebenen angelegt. Für die Auswertung der Ergebnisse wurden die Proben zu Klassen zusammengefasst, welche jeweils charakteristische Zusammensetzungen der Ausgangszemente repräsentieren. Für die Analyseergebnisse wurden die klassenspezifischen die Mittel- und Grenzwerte bestimmt. Als die effektivste Methode zur Anreicherung der Zementsteinmatrix aus Mörtel- und Betonproben erwies sich die Kombination aus einer Zerkleinerung in einem Laborbackenbrecher. Die fein partikulären Fraktionen, welche Zementsteingehalte von 70-80 Ma.-% aufwiesen, wurden als Analyseproben verwendet. Es zeigte sich aber auch, dass das Anreicherungsergebnis von der Gesteinskörnungsart abhängt. Bei Laborbetonen mit einer Kalkstein-Gesteinskörnung wurde mit der gleichen Methode lediglich eine Anreicherung des Zementsteins auf etwa 50 Ma.-% erreicht. Die Untersuchungen auf Abstraktionsebene 1 lieferten die Erkenntnis, dass der Hydratationsprozess der Klinkerphasen, der Klinkerphasengemische sowie des Hüttensandes, auch in Gegenwart des Sulfatträgers für Behandlungstemperaturen im Bereich des Klinkerbrandes vollständig reversibel ist. Im Hinblick auf die Identifizierungsmöglichkeiten wurde 1100 °C als optimale Behandlungstemperatur ermittelt, da hier eine Schmelzphasenbildung ausgeschlossen werden kann. Durch eine Gegenüberstellung der chemischen Zusammensetzung der Ausgangszemente und des Phasenbestandes nach der Temperung konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass bei reinen Zementsteinen grundsätzlich alle Bestandteile an der Reaktion, die während der thermischen Behandlung bei 1100 °C stattfindet, beteiligt sind. Der sich einstellende Phasen bestand ist nur von der chemischen Zusammensetzung der Probe und dabei besonders von derem CaO-Gehalt abhängig. Empirisch wurde eine Prioritätenfolge für die Phasenbildung ermittelt. Daraus geht hervor, dass bevorzugt CaO-reiche Phasen, wie Aluminatferritphase, Belit und Ye‘elimit entstehen und dass überschüssiger Kalk als freies CaO vorliegt. Nur wenn der CaO-Gehalt der Probe nicht für die vollständige Bildung der – in der Summe – kalkreichsten Phasen ausreicht, entstehen partiell oder vollständig kalkärmere Phasen, wie Merwinit und Melilith. Basierend auf den Prioritäten zur Phasenbildung wurde ein Satz von Berechnungsgleichungen aufgestellt, mit denen der CaO-Typ aus der Phasenzusammensetzung der bei 1100 °C getemperten Probe bestimmt werden kann. CaO-Typen repräsentieren Bereiche für die chemische Zusammensetzung der Ausgangsprobe, welche bei der Temperaturbehandlung zu einer charakteristischen qualitativen Phasenzusammensetzung führen. Die CaO-Typen der marktüblichen Zementarten wurden anhand der in der Norm EN 197 festgelegten Bereiche für die Zusammensetzung der Zemente aus ihren Hauptbestandteilen sowie der aus der Fachliteratur ermittelten Bereiche für die chemische Zusammensetzung dieser Hauptbestandteile ermittelt. Damit kann für die Zementarten der Phasenbestand vorhergesagt werden, welcher sich während der Temperaturbehandlung des entsprechenden Zementsteins einstellt. Ein Vergleich mit dem gemessenen Phasenbestand erlaubt so die Identifizierung der Zementart. Die Übertragbarkeit der durch die Untersuchungen an den Zementsteinen gewonnenen Erkenntnisse und die daraus abgeleiteten Identifizierungsmöglichkeiten auf Zementsteine, welche aus quarzsandhaltigen Normmörteln angereichert wurden, konnte nachgewiesen werden. Dabei wurde eine leichte Verschiebung des Phasenbestandes hin zu kalkärmeren Phasen beobachtet, welche auf die Reaktionsbeteiligung eines Teils der in den Proben enthaltenen Restgesteinskörnung zurückzuführen ist. Die Unterscheidungsmöglichkeiten zwischen den Zementarten blieben jedoch überwiegend erhalten. Bei Betonen nimmt der Einfluss der Gesteinskörnung auf den Phasenbestand deutlich zu und kann zum Teil nicht mehr vernachlässigt werden. Die Identifizierungsmöglichkeiten müssen deshalb nach der chemischen Zusammensetzung und der Reaktivität der Gesteinskörnung differenziert ermittelt werden. Dazu sind weitere Untersuchungen notwendig. Für Zementsteine, zementsteinreiche Systeme sowie Mörtel und Betone mit wenig reaktiven Gesteinskörnungen kann die Zementart bereits mit der in dieser Arbeit vorgestellten Methode identifiziert werden. In Fällen, für die sich die Bereiche der chemischen Zusammensetzung mehrerer Zementarten überschneiden, kann es dabei notwendig sein, zusätzliche chemische bzw. mineralogische Untersuchungen durchzuführen, z. B. am unbehandelten Zementstein.
