The very special peculiarities of chemical measurements that are absent in physical measurements are discussed.

The sealing function of such repositories is depending on the ability of the applied construction materials to form and maintain a geotechnical barrier with the surrounding rock. Corrosion of the construction material can lead to leakage of radioactive compounds and must therefore be avoided or minimized. Since concretes based on conventional Portland cement have not been found suitable in this context, alternative binders must be evaluated. One such class of binders are hybrid cements, which are blends of low fractions of Portland cement or Portland clinker and high fractions of supplementary cementitious materials, such as blast furnace slag and fly ash, activated by an alkali salt. Besides a low heat of hydration and a sufficient early compressive strength [1], chemical similarities with ancient Roman concrete suggest an excellent durability in saline environments [2], which makes these cements potentially suitable for applications in nuclear waste repositories in evaporite rock, such as the Morsleben repository in Germany. In the present study, two previously designed and characterized [3] hybrid cements, an alkali-activated slag/fly ash blend, and an OPC paste were studied regarding their resistance against corrosion in an aggressive saline solution. The saline solution was designed by the Gesellschaft für Anlagen- und Reaktorsicherheit (GRS) [Association for Facility and Reactor Safety] as a reference representing a solution forming as the result of contact of surface water with evaporite rock. The cement pastes were exposed to the saline solution up to 70 days and characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and spatially resolved X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. In addition, thermodynamic modelling was performed to simulate the alterations of the phase assemblage with increasing exposure to the saline solution and, thus, provide indications on the long-term durability of the cement pastes. The experimental results revealed a correlation between the Portland clinker content of the cements and the resistance of the cement pastes against attack by the saline solution. This outcome was related to the formation of portlandite when sufficient clinker was available, which maintained the pore solution pH at ~12.5, and thus prevented the dissolution of cementitious phases. Once portlandite was consumed, C-N-A-S-H and ettringite dissolved and released calcium, aluminium, and hydroxide ions in the solution, maintaining the pH at ~10. In this pH range, the formation Cl-AFm phases was observed. At lower pH values, i.e., extended exposure durations, gypsum was the major corrosion product. The pH-dependent dissolution and formation of phases lead to pronounced zonation in the exposed cement pastes. Thermodynamic modelling indicated that the dissolved silicon from C-N-A-S-H reacts with magnesium ions in the saline solution to form M-S-H, and that long-term exposure eventually leads to a material rich in amorphous silica and brucite.

Rich chemistry of PDA enables broad variety of surface modification and diverse secondary reactions that makes it extremely interesting for a wide range of application including biomedical field, e.g., drug delivery, adhesives, cell adhesion, biosensing. Despite high potential of polydopamine, the lack of deposition control and precision in existed methods limits their applications in microdevices and miniaturized functional systems like, for example, MEMS, microfluidic and sensorics. Herein, we demonstrate a novel maskless approach for surface micropatterning with polydopamine based on Multiphoton Lithography that overcomes present limitations. Neither strong oxidants, metal ions nor adjustment of pH to alkaline is required by this technique. The spatial resolution down to 0.8 µm has been achieved which is at least an order of magnitude smaller than shown by other existed methods. We are able to control the morphology and thickness of the micropattern by altering fabrication parameters allowing structure gradient. Apart from the glass substrate, we achieved PDA patterning at surfaces of different nature such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene, polydimethylsiloxane, polyethylene terephthalate, silicon wafers, and fluorinated glass coverslips. Post-modification of polydopamine micropatterns with protein enzyme like trypsin is demonstrated to highlight its sensing potential. Presented in this work microfabrication technique empowers advanced applications of mussel-inspired materials in single-molecule bioassays, sensors and other complex microdevices.

Continuous structural health monitoring (SHM) based on ultrasonic guided waves (GWs) is a promising approach due to the ability of the wave to propagate for long distances and go around complex structures, moreover the high sensitivity to various failure modes such as delamination, matrix cracking and debonding. In this study, we scrutinize the behavior of (GWs) within the COPV using a network of PZT elements that are used for excitation and sensing. A laser doppler vibrometer (LDV) was also used to scan the surface of the vessel in various directions. L(0,1) and L(0,2) were observed in the captured signal. The L(0,2) appeared to be a dominant mode in the COPV and was capable of propagating along the entire length and maintaining a good signal-to-noise ratio. The L(0,2) mode maintained the same phase velocity when it is captured at various excitation angles (0, 45, and 90 degrees). The reduced effect of the orthotropy of the materials on the propagating waves is an important result as it will reduce the complexity in data processing when performing damage identification.

Nevertheless, its determination is associated with a large number of fatigue tests carried out on specimens with artificial defects (notches) to describe the fatigue limit-defect size relationship in the short crack regime. The preparation of the specimens and the execution of the tests is time expensive. Therefore, few phenomenological models have been introduced in the past to provide a first approximation of the KT diagram based solely on the fatigue limit for smooth specimen and the fatigue crack propagation threshold for long cracks. Despite the use of such models is widely spread, these suffer from problems related to the uncertainties of the material parameters. Furthermore, the mechanics of short cracks, which is the physical mechanism behind the concept of the fatigue limit, is not considered. This work discusses the advantages and drawbacks of using short fatigue crack propagation models for predicting the fatigue limit of flawed metallic materials. The KT diagrams for a EA4T railway axle steel in as-received and full-hardened condition are approximated by means of the cyclic R-curve method.

Most of these materials require a large amount of energy for extraction and manufacturing, which causes the emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Therefore, strategies for improving the sustainability of structural metallic alloys are urgently needed. Additive Manufacturing (AM), in particular Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/M), aims to be a sustainable manufacturing process, as it allows the build-up of complex geometry in near net-shape from 3D models, while minimizing material waste and the energy required for the process and post-process treatments. Nevertheless, the application of additively manufactured parts in structural safety-relevant applications is still hindered by the poor fatigue performance. The cause of this has been mainly attributed to the presence of manufacturing defects and surface roughness. Therefore, a huge effort has been made to optimize the process parameters and to introduce post-process treatments to minimize the defect content. However, material flaws cannot be fully eliminated, but these can be considered in a damage tolerance framework for the prediction of the fatigue performance of additively manufactured metallic materials, which is essential for part design and qualification. This work aims at presenting different modelling strategies for the prediction of the fatigue limit of AM metals. Simple empirical models and more complex models based on fatigue short crack propagation are proposed. The investigated material is an AlSi10Mg alloy fabricated by PBF-LB/M and subjected to two different low-temperature heat-treatments (265°C for 1 h and 300°C for 2h). The results show that the models can provide good approximation of the fatigue limits and help in the interpretation of the scatter of fatigue data.

Den vielfach komplexen Bauteilstrukturen, herausfordernden Fertigungseigenschaften und der Erhöhung der Ressourceneffizienz lässt sich heute mit der additiven Fertigung (AM) begegnen, dem oftmals noch unzureichende Kenntnisse über die resultierende Homogenität und Anisotropie der speziellen Gefüge und den damit verbundenen Eigenschaften entgegensteht. Viele Anwendungen benötigen zudem definierte Oberflächen mit hohen Anforderungen an die Oberflächenintegrität, dem durch komplementären Einsatz von additiven und abtragenden Fertigungsschritten Rechnung getragen wird.

For computational efficiency, they are however often restriction to T=0K calculations, while many technologically relevant materials properties and thermodynamic stabilities change when going from low to high temperatures. On the other hand, the constantly increasing performance of digital tools for simulation and data-driven science enables more targeted material development including these kinds of finite-temperature effects. A flexible infrastructure, including data management and workflow solutions is required to make this symbiosis user-friendly efficient. Within this presentation, examples from ab initio thermodynamics for the design of phase stabilities in hard-magnetic alloys and defect-phases in advanced high-strength steels will be demonstrated. We will discuss physical concepts with a focus at the impact of magnetic excitations. At the same time, the examples will be used to derive requirements and present solutions for a digital infrastructure.

It is subject to both chemical and structural aging processes during use. At least to our knowledge, it is not currently known whether these aging processes also lead to a measurable change in the thermal properties of asphalt. If so, these changes could be exploited for non-destructive testing of the aging condition in situ. Photothermal analysis of a component surface involves looking at the time course of the surface temperature during and after pulse-like heating with an expanded laser beam. In the case of concrete surfaces, this method works well under laboratory conditions. It allowed the determination of the thermal effusivity. Now it should be investigated whether the photothermal signal allows conclusions to be made regarding the aging state of the asphalt. Within the scope of this paper, 2 asphalt specimens were investigated: a closed asphalt with 3% void content (SMA 11S) and an open-pore asphalt with 25% void content (PA 8). Both samples were artificially degraded according to a standardized procedure, leaving a portion of the surface unaffected. Subsections from both areas were then separated for photothermal testing. It was found, that the photothermal method is apparently not sensitive enough to detect aging on asphalt in general. However, it is noteworthy that both asphalt types heat up significantly faster than would be expected from the theory of heat conduction, which might be explained by the specific microstructure.

On the other hand, recent progress in experimental atomic-scale characterization techniques allows one to study the local chemical composition at individual defects such as interfaces, grain boundaries, dislocations and surfaces. They show that changes in the alloy composition can drive not only transitions in the bulk phases present in a material, but also in the concentration and type of defects they contain. Defect phase diagrams, using chemical potentials as thermodynamics variables, provide a natural route to study these chemically driven defects. Our results show, however, that the direct application of thermodynamic approaches can fail to reproduce the experimentally observed defect formation. Therefore, we extend the concept to metastable defect phase diagrams to account for kinetic limitations that prevent the system from reaching equilibrium. We use ab initio calculations based on density functional theory to quantify the extension of regions where defect formation is expected. We successfully applied this concept to explain the formation of large concentrations of planar defects in supersaturated Fe2Nb Laves phases. In addition, we identify in a joint study with experiments conditions and structures in Mg-Al-Ca alloys for defect phase occurrence. The concept offers new avenues for designing materials with tailored defect structures.

Materials data are generated, transferred, and introduced at each step along the complete life cycle of a component. A reliable materials data space is therefore crucial in the digital transformation, both in academia and industry. Therefore, the consortium NFDI MatWerk aims to develop a sustainable infrastructure for the standardized digital representation of materials science and engineering (MatWerk). The goal is to seamlessly integrate decentralized data and metadata, experimental and computational workflows, and a materials ontology to maximize interoperability and reproducibility of materials data processing. To this end, data use profiles of participant projects from different sub-disciplines are analyzed to identify the most relevant scientific scenarios within MatWerk. Similarly, the Plattform MaterialDigital (PMD) is committed to provide a prototypical infrastructure for the digitalization of materials in an industrial context implemented by decentralized data servers, semantic data schemas and digital workflows. The standards, methods, and tools developed within the PMD are deployed and consolidated within the context of currently more than 20 BMBF-funded academic and industrial research consortia. Scientific workflow environments represent a major focus area, including efforts to improve the definition and representation of digital workflows, as well as their distribution in form of a workflow store. In this presentation we will describe the overarching visions behind these initiatives, their status, and progress of dissemination with a focus on the workflow activities. Following the philosophy of both consortia, specific examples will be used to demonstrate innovative and pragmatic solutions.

As one of the challenges, the deleterious effect of hydrogen on the mechanical properties of metallic alloys is known to reduce the applicability of metallic alloys, motivating the characterization and simulation of hydrogen-defect interactions in these materials. In this work, the interaction of hydrogen with planar defects in aluminium has been investigated by means of ab initio simulations. On the one hand, two distinct types of GBs have been considered – the Σ11(113) [011] with a close-packed interface structure and the Σ5(210) [001] with a more open interface structure – in order to reveal the mechanisms governing the H segregation energetics. The investigations are afterwards extended to the impact of solutes in the Al alloy. Two scenarios are compared: Their segregation to the grain boundaries and their binding in precipitates. We therewith gained insights into the role of the solute size on the structural and chemical embrittlement in absence and presence of hydrogen. A thermodynamic assessment of the impact of solutes onto H chemisorption in the interfacial vicinity is provided by performing a high-throughput analysis for potential alloying candidates. The identified trends of the solute-H interactions are used to examine the relative importance of changes in hydrogen enhanced decohesion as a thermodynamic effect. On the other hand, the interaction of hydrogen with defects can be beneficial for the formation of metal hydrides. To enhance the formation and stability of such often highly volatile hydrides we have consider a novel concept: tailoring and employing the negative pressure of microstructural and structural defects to enhance H solubility and thus hydride formation. Using systematic ab initio and atomistic simulations, we demonstrate that an enhancement in the formation of hydrides at the negatively pressurized crack tip region is feasible by increasing the mechanical tensile load on the specimen. The theoretical predictions have been used to reassess and interpret atom probe tomography experiments for a high-strength 7XXX-aluminium alloy that show a substantial enhancement of hydrogen concentration at structural defects near a stress-corrosion crack tip. Based on these insights we derive strategies for enhancing the capability of metals as H-storage materials.

This rate-dependent phenomenon motivates theoretical investigations of the underlying mechanisms. Here, a hydrogen enhanced cross-slip (HECS) mechanism in the close vicinity of the grain boundaries is demonstrated by direct molecular dynamics simulations. To this end, the interaction of the screw dislocations with a variety of symmetric tilt grain boundaries in H-charged and H-free bicrystalline nickel specimens is examined. The presence of segregated hydrogen atoms at the grain boundaries induces a stress field in their vicinity, and thus the barrier for cross-slip of screw dislocations considerably decreases. The enhanced crossslip of dislocations facilitates the formation of jogs. These jogs can form vacancies during the glide process. This mechanism shows nano-scale evidence of enhanced vacancy formation and subsequent increase in the free volume along the grain boundaries in the presence of H. This increase of the free-volume along the grain boundary dmaages the material and induce further embrittlement in addition to the direct effect of hydrogen in decreasing the fracture energy.

Materials data are generated, transferred, and introduced at each step along the complete life cycle of a component. A reliable materials data space is therefore crucial in the digital transformation of an industrial branch. Therefore, the “Innovation Platform MaterialDigital (PMD) funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), aims to develop a sustainable infrastructure for the standardized digital representation of materials science and materials engineering. With its partners (KIT, Fraunhofer IWM, FIZ, Leibnitz IWT, BAM, MPIE), the PMD is committed to build up a materials science data space. To achieve this the PMD provides a prototypical infrastructure for the digitalization of materials implemented by decentralized data servers, standardized data schemas and digital workflows. Following the FAIR principles, it will promote the semantic interoperability across the frontiers of materials classes. Standards, methods, and tools developed within the platform are deployed and consolidated within the context of currently near 20 BMBF-funded academic and industrial research consortia and made available to the material science community in general. In this context scientific workflows represent a major focus area, represented within the platform by the workflow frameworks pyiron and SimStack. In consequence, the platform is building up a digital library in form of a workflow store along with common standards for the definition and representation of digital workflows. In this presentation we will describe the status of our Platform MaterialDigital with a focus on the workflow activities. The current status and the vision for dissemination of the solutions developed in the PMD within the community are provided.

Normally creating workflows that connect data in multiple scales and various methods is a cumbersome task. Pyiron, an integrated development environment (IDE) for material science, contains modules for the atomistic as well as continuum scale that make a seamless connection possible. To this end, it provides a high-level coherent language in a unified workflow platform to study materials, for example, with density functional theory (DFT) simulations in the same framework as with the finite element method (FEM). In this work, in addition to the introduction of different features in pyiron and its continuum module, a couple of exemplary workflows are demonstrated, bridging the scales in pyiron. One such workflow is analyzing the elastoplastic response of metallic alloys, where the elastic properties of the system are dependent on the atomistic composition and structure of the alloy. We use pyiron atomistics to model the dependence of elastic moduli on the atomistic composition of Al-Mg alloys. Benefiting from the integration of DAMASK in the continuum module of pyiron, the model can be used as an input to simulate the elastoplastic response of the alloy under various loadings. In addition, finite element simulations using the FEniCS package are currently integrated into the continuum module and will be demonstrated in the presentation.

Defect phase diagrams in combination with density functional theory provide a natural route to study these chemically driven defects. Our results show, however, that direct application of thermodynamic approaches can fail to reproduce the experimentally observed defect formation. Therefore, we extend the concept to metastable defect phase diagrams to account for kinetic limitations that prevent the system from reaching equilibrium. We successfully applied this concept to explain the formation of large concentrations of planar defects in supersaturated Fe-Nb solid solutions and to identify in a joint study with experiments conditions in Mg-Al-Ca alloys for defect phase occurrence. The concept offers new avenues for designing materials with tailored defect structures.

To compute the large number of relevant defect-solute interactions we have performed high-throughput ab initio calculations using efficient and highly automated workflows using pyiron. We study has been performed across a representative set of coincident-site-lattice (CSL) type tilt GBs. Based on the large ab-initio datasets, we extract and analyse the chemical and structural trends observed in the solute segregation behaviour across the periodic table. The features which are most important in evaluating site segregation are presented and discussed.

Materials data are generated, transferred, and introduced at each step along the complete life cycle of a component. A reliable materials data space is therefore crucial in the digital transformation and an important prerequisite for machine learning in materials science. Therefore, the consortium NFDI MatWerk aims to develop a sustainable infrastructure for the standardized digital representation of materials science and engineering (MatWerk). The goal is to seamlessly integrate decentralized data and metadata, experimental and computational workflows, and a materials ontology to maximize interoperability and reproducibility of materials data processing. To this end, data use profiles of participant projects from different sub-disciplines are analyzed to identify the most relevant scientific scenarios within MatWerk. Similarly, the Plattform MaterialDigital (PMD) is committed to provide a prototypical infrastructure for the digitalization of materials in an industrial context implemented by decentralized data servers, semantic data schemas and digital workflows. The standards, methods, and tools developed within the PMD are deployed and consolidated within the context of currently more than 20 BMBF-funded academic and industrial research consortia. Scientific workflow environments represent a major focus area, including efforts to improve the definition and representation of digital workflows, as well as their distribution in form of a workflow store. In this presentation we will describe the overarching visions behind these initiatives, their status, and progress of dissemination with a focus on the workflow activities and the connection to machine learning applications. Following the philosophy of both consortia, specific examples will be used to demonstrate innovative and pragmatic solutions.

The knowledge of the crack growth behavior for short and long cracks enables the determination of both finite and infinite life regimes. Nevertheless, a first problem arises from the empirical determination of the fatigue data, which vary according to the test conditions, e.g., the test method, frequency and the stress ratio R. This is due to crack closure and further environmental phenomena affecting crack propagation behavior. A second issue regards the lack of standard experimental procedures for the determination of the fatigue crack propagation threshold ΔKth dependency on the crack size. This is problematic, since ΔKth increases with the build-up of the closure effects in the short crack regime and its inaccurate experimental determination leads to large deviations in the assessment and, even more critical, to non-conservative predictions. Aiming at providing more reliable and safer assessment procedures, the present work proposes a method based on effective crack growth data obtained at high stress ratios (R ≈ 0.8). A short-crack model based on the cyclic R-curve and CPLR data is employed for describing the development of the closure effects. The predictions are compared to established methods and validated by experimental tests.

For computational efficiency, they are however often restriction to T=0K calculations, while many technologically relevant materials properties and thermodynamic stabilities change when going from low to high temperatures. On the other hand, the constantly increasing performance of digital tools for simulation and data-driven science enables more targeted material development including these kinds of finite-temperature effects. A flexible infrastructure, including data management and workflow solutions is required to make this symbiosis user-friendly efficient. Within this presentation, examples from ab initio thermodynamics for the design of phase stabilities in hard-magnetic alloys and defect-phases in advanced high-strength steels will be demonstrated. We will discuss physical concepts with a focus at the impact of magnetic excitations. At the same time, the examples will be used to derive requirements and present solutions for a digital infrastructure. An outlook will be given to current strategies with the NDFI initiative NFDI-MatWerk.

Der Wasserstofftransport in Deutschland hat bereits deutlich zugenommen und wird in den nächsten Jahren weiter erheblich zunehmen. Dies führt zu einem stärkeren Fokus auf die wirtschaftlichen Aspekte im Transport und der wiederkehrenden Prüfung. Letztere droht, ohne neue technische Ansätze zum Flaschenhals in der Verfügbarkeit vorhandener Transportkapazitäten zu werden. Das gegenwärtige System der Wasserdruckprüfung bis zum sog. Prüfdruck mit Innen- und Außenbesichtigung etc., die im Normalfall alle 5 Jahre durchzuführen ist, führt zu jeweils etwa 8 Wochen Stillstand. Das Aufwendige dabei sind die Trocknungs- und Spülprozesse, die notwendig sind, um wieder entsprechend reinen Wasserstoff abfüllen zu können. Auf Basis der BAM GGR‘n 021 und 022 lässt sich beim Nachweis entsprechender, probabilistischer Restzuverlässigkeiten diese Frist in Deutschland auf 10 Jahre ausdehnen. Diesen Weg sind in den letzten Jahren viele Betreiber gegangen. Mit Blick auf die derzeit fast exponentielle Zunahme von Transporteinheiten kann auch diese Verlängerung der Prüffristen das Problem nicht lösen. Auch das Umschwenken von hydraulischer, auf die heute bereits genehmigungsfähige Gasdruckprüfung bis zum Prüfdruck bringt zwar eine Verkürzung der Stillstandzeiten, erfordert aber erhebliches Investment in Schutzmaßnahmen. Als hinreichend zielführendes Konzept für Transporteinheiten mit vielen Elementen wird im Vortrag eine Mischung aus probabilistischem Ansatz und zerstörungsfreien Prüfungen erläutert und bzgl. Aufwand und Nutzen im Vergleich zu den üblichen Verfahren visualisiert. Voraussetzung für diesen vorgestellten Ansatz sind die Weiterentwicklung und Qualifizierung der Schallemissionsanalyse als Ersatz für die derzeitig zerstörenden Prüfungen und auch eine durchgängig digitale Lebenslaufakte, die eine lückenlose Zuordnung von Baumusterprüfung, Herstellungslos, Betreiber und Betriebsdaten erlaubt. Für Transporteinheiten mit wenigen, sehr großen Elementen wird dagegen das sog. Online-Monitoring mit fest installierter und permanent messender Technik gesehen. Für die Anwendung beider Lösungsansätze sind umfangreiche Änderungen im Recht erforderlich. T2 - 49.

This progress enables the exploration of spectroscopic techniques aimed at monitoring electronic transitions within this energy spectrum. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) serves as a rapid tool for elemental analysis, primarily established in the UV-vis range. However, LIBS encounters challenges such as limited repeatability precision and elevated background noise resulting from continuum radiation. In parallel, laser-induced extreme UV spectroscopy (LIXS) delves into the initial stages of plasma evolution, characterized by the emergence of soft X-ray and extreme UV radiation. The method benefits from a fast timeframe and constrained plasma confinement, leading to better precision. Nevertheless, LIXS encounters convoluted spectra arising from unresolved transition arrays (UTA), particularly pronounced for heavier elements. This complexity renders conventional univariate data analysis impractical, demanding the adoption of a multivariate data analysis approach. Multiple cathode samples, each coated with varying stoichiometries of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC), were prepared and used for calibration purposes. Through the application of Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression, a robust correlation with an R2 value exceeding 0.97 was achieved. The LIXS technique underwent a comparative evaluation against UV-vis LIBS. Furthermore, a comparison between univariate and multivariate analysis approaches was conducted, incorporating validation through y-randomization to mitigate overfitting risks. The viability of this approach was confirmed through the testing of an NMC reference material. The results showed metrological compatibility with reference values, underscoring the potential capability of the proposed methodology. T2 - 322.

Regulierung von Bergungsdruckgefäßen bei den Vereinten Nationen eingebracht. Die Anträge führten jeweils nach der Delegation in eine Arbeitsgruppe unter der Leitung des Vortragenden zu neuen Vorschriften im internationalen Gefahrguttransportrecht. Zuletzt hat das UN-Subcommittee der Experten für den Transport gefährlicher Güter der Einführung einer Druck-Volumen-Begrenzung für Druckgefäße zugestimmt. Mit dieser Begrenzung wurde die bisherige Volumenbegrenzung für Bergungsdruckgefäße ersetzt, wodurch nun das Spektrum der Bergungsdruckgefäße gestaltet werden kann, das notwendig wäre, um defekte Druckgefäße transportieren zu können. Das zentrale Kriterium für die Begrenzung des Druck-Volumen-Produktes (pV) fand bereits in den Landverkehrsvorschriften ADR/RID bis zu ihrer Neustrukturierung auch als Konsequenzmaß Verwendung. Damit soll sichergestellt werden, dass sich aus Wasserstofftransporten in Druckgefäßen keine Konsequenz entwickeln kann, die nach den Kriterien für stationäre Anlagen, einer Katastrophe gleichkommen würde. Hierzu hatte eine Arbeitsgruppe der Vereinten Nationen seit 2020 auf Vorschlag der BAM eine Kette aufeinander aufbauende Kriterien diskutiert, die im Vortrag vorgestellt werden: Einfluss der Druckwellen auf den menschlichen Körper (ohne Splitterwirkung oder Umsetzung der chemischen Energie) – Zusammenhang von Druckwelle und Fläche – Druckwellenberechnung – Bevölkerungsdichte – Grenzwerte für eine Katastrophe – resultierendes pV-Produkt. Das Ergebnis wurde mit herausragenden Großunfällen und Katastrophen aus dem Gefahrguttransport und Gefahrstoffbereich verglichen. Außerdem wurden noch die Effekte des Temperatureinflusses auf den maximalen Betriebsdruck diskutiert. Zuletzt wurde bei den UN darauf hingewiesen, dass mit Blick auf die Auswirkungsbetrachtung der Wassersoff das Gas mit den geringsten Konsequenzen bei gegeben Druk-Volumen-Produkt ist, was zu restriktiveren Obergrenzen für z.B. Erdgas führen könnte. Als letzter Punkt im Vortrag wird erläutert, dass in den kommenden UN-Sitzungen über nachfolgende Änderungen im Recht, wie z.B. der Kennzeichnung des pV-Produktes, diskutiert werden wird. Außerdem muss ein neuer Einstieg für die bei ISO in der Normung befindliche Umschließungen mit einem größeren pV-Produkt gefunden werden, wozu aber Transportland-spezifische Risikoanalysen in Verbindung mit massiven Fahrwegsbeschränkungen zu erwarten sind.

In addition to their use in medical diagnostics, rapid tests and assays have become increasingly important in various fields such as food safety, security, forensics, and environmental management. The advantage is obvious: taking the assay directly to the sample minimizes the time between suspicion and decision-making, allowing faster action. Especially today, when mobile communication devices with powerful computing capabilities and built-in cameras are ubiquitous, more people than ever before around the world have the basic skills to operate a powerful detector at their fingertips. This sets the stage for a much wider use of analytical measurements in terms of prognosis and prevention, enabling professional laypersons in particular. However, current strip-based systems are primarily focused on single parameter analysis, whether it is SARS-CoV-2 biomarkers, blood glucose levels, or lead concentrations in water samples. Industrial applications of such methods also often still rely on single-parameter assays, requiring multiple runs even for a limited number of key parameters. Overcoming these limitations depends on developing low-number multiplexing strategies that ensure robustness, reliability, speed, ease of use, and sensitivity. This lecture will give an overview of several generic approaches developed in recent years to address these challenges. It will highlight how the synergy of supramolecular (bio)chemistry, luminescence detection, hybrid (nano)materials and device miniaturization can result in powerful (bio)analytical assays that can be used at a point-of-need.1-5 Selected examples will introduce key aspects of such systems that include tailored signaling mechanisms and recognition elements, materials functionalization and device integration, including hybrid nanomaterials, gated indicator release systems, strip modification, and smartphone-based analysis.

Dieser beeinflusst die Menge der absorbierten Laserenergie, welche zum Aufschmelzen sowie zur lokalen Verdampfung des zu verbindenden Materials führt. Eine der wichtigsten Eigenschaften der Laserstrahlabsorption ist die Temperaturabhängigkeit. Dennoch wird sie in vielen Simulationsarbeiten häufig ignoriert und stattdessen ein angepasster Parameter zur Kalibrierung der Ergebnisse implementiert. Diese Vorgehensweise wirkt sich negativ auf die Zuverlässigkeit sowie die Genauigkeit des numerischen Modells sowie auf die Vorhersagbarkeit der Simulationsergebnisse aus. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Temperaturabhängigkeit der Laserabsorption in ein selbstkonsistentes zweiphasiges Modell unter Berücksichtigung der gekoppelten 3D-Fluidströmung und Wärmeübertragung einbezogen. Die berechnete Laserstrahlabsorption wird durch die temperaturabhängigen Materialeigenschaften, die Lasercharakteristik und den Einfallswinkel des Laserstrahls bestimmt. Die freie Oberfläche jeder Phase wird mithilfe der volume-of-fluid Methode, kurz VOF, berechnet und die Laser-Material-Wechselwirkung wird durch ein neulich implementiertes Ray-Tracing-Verfahren modelliert, die auf einem lokalisierten Level-Set-Algorithmus basiert. Anschließend wird die transiente Wärmeeinbringung und die Geometrie der Schweißnaht analysiert und mit dem temperaturunabhängigen Absorptionsmodell verglichen. Es wurde festgestellt, dass die Temperaturabhängigkeit der Laserabsorption entscheidend für die genaue Bestimmung der Wärmeeinbringung und der Schmelzbadgeometrie ist. Das entwickelte Modell wurde anhand der experimentellen Untersuchungen validiert und die Bedeutung der Temperaturabhängigkeit bei der Laserstrahlabsorption wurde für die Simulation des Laserstrahltiefschweißens aufgeklärt.

Insbesondere für die Anwendung von Predictive Maintenance und Structural- Health-Monitoring Methoden mit Ultraschall ist die genaue Kenntnis der elastischen Materialkonstanten eine Grundvoraussetzung. Die von den Herstellern zur Verfügung gestellten Angaben zu den elastischen Materialkonstanten, insbesondere für Polymere und faserverstärkte Kunststoffe, sind jedoch oft unzureichend, da diese vom Produktionsprozess abhängig sind und sich zusätzlich aufgrund von Materialabbauprozessen oder Ermüdung ändern können. In der Praxis liegen polymere Werkstoffe, faserverstärkte Kunststoffe und Metalle oft als dünne, plattenförmige Strukturen vor, in welchen sich geführte Ultraschallwellen (UGWs) ausbreiten können. In der aktuellen Forschung sind bereits verschiedene Neuronale Modelle zur Bestimmung der elastischen Konstanten und der Materialcharakterisierung mittels UGWs bekannt.

In diesem Vortrag wird ein Ansatz zur Bestimmung der isotropen elastischen Konstanten von dünnen Platten auf der Grundlage von UGWs unter Verwendung von Dispersionsbildern und 2D-CNNs vorgestellt. Dispersionsabbildungen aus numerischen Simulationen werden mithilfe verschiedener Methoden vorverarbeitet, um realistische Messdaten zu simulieren. Mit den modifizierten Daten wird das Modell trainiert und die Architektur optimiert. Anschließend wird die Genauigkeit des erzeugten Modells mit realen Messdaten validiert. Es wird gezeigt, dass 2D-CNNs in der Lage sind, die isotropen elastischen Konstanten anhand multimodaler Merkmale aus Dispersionsbildern vorherzusagen, ohne dass eine anfängliche Schätzung der Parameter oder manuelle Merkmalsextraktion erforderlich ist.

Das Papier besteht aus Fasern meist pflanzlicher Herkunft und wird durch Entwässerung einer Fasersuspension auf einem Sieb gebildet. Der Abdruck des Schöpfsiebes (die Papierstruktur) und ein vorhandenes Wasserzeichen bieten Anhaltspunkte für Provenienz und Datierung; daneben erlaubt die Analyse der Fasern, der Füllstoffe und der Leimung eine weitere Charakterisierung des Schriftträgers. Spätestens seit dem Mittelalter sind es Eisengallustinten, die das schwarze bis bräunliche Erscheinungsbild vieler Manuskripte auf Papier hervorrufen. Daneben lassen sich auch schwarze Rußtuschen oder farbige Auszeichnungstuschen nachweisen. Eisengallustinten werden durch Mischung einer eisenhaltigen Komponente mit Gerbstoffen hergestellt. Eisensulfat ist die am häufigsten genannte Eisen liefernde Zutat, daneben sind aber auch eisenhaltige Minerale, Nägel oder Rost denkbar. Die Gallussäure leitet sich ab aus den Galläpfeln, der krankhaften Veränderung einzelner Planzenteile verschiedener Eichenarten. Diese werden durch die Eiablage von Schlupfwespen hervorgerufen. Wie schon beim Papier ermöglicht der materialanalytische Nachweis charakteristischer Beimischungen oder Verunreinigungen innerhalb der Tinten die Beantwortung kulturhistorischer Fragestellungen – gemeint sind hier die Unterscheidung von Original und Korrektur oder die Sichtbarmachung späterer Ergänzungen.

This study employs experimental and numerical methods to investigate the effects of an auxiliary oscillating magnetic field on reducing porosity in the laser beam welding of 5754 aluminum alloy. The experimental results clearly demonstrate a significant reduction in the porosity ratio, thereby validating the efficacy of applying MHD technology in mitigating porosity during the laser beam welding process. In addition, a transient 3D multi-physical model has been developed, integrating the magnetohydrodynamic and metal vapor plume, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the porosity suppression mechanism. The introduction of an oscillating magnetic field generates a time-averaged downward Lorentz force. This Lorentz force, in turn, induces an electromagnetic expulsive force, which effectively increases the upward escape velocity of bubbles in the molten pool. Furthermore, the molten pool shape is significantly enlarged, which further facilitate the escape of bubbles. The simulation results agree well with the experimental results.

The real-time height of the metal vapor plume is measured by high-speed camera observation. The obtained experimental results are used to evaluate the additional heating source and laser beam attenuation caused by the scattering and absorption based on the Beer–Lambert theory. Furthermore, the dynamic behavior of the metal vapor plume is incorporated into a 3D transient heat transfer and fluid flow model, coupled with the ray tracing method, for the laser beam welding of the AlMg3 alloy. It is found that additional heating resulting from the scattered and absorbed laser beam energy by the metal vapor plume significantly expands the shape of the molten pool on the top region. Moreover, the oscillating metal vapor plume caused the fluctuation of the high-temperature region in the molten pool. The probability of keyhole collapse at the bottom increases 17% due to the oscillating laser power induced by the laser beam attenuation. The internal interplay between the metal vapor plume, molten pool shape, and keyhole collapse is obtained. The developed model has been validated by experiments, which shows a good agreement.

A1 - Häusler, F. T1 - Bout-based Gas Source Localization using Aerial Robot Swarms N2 - Gas source localization (GSL) helps mitigate the impact of industrial accidents and natural disasters. While GSL may be dangerous and time-consuming when performed by humans, swarms of agile and inexpensive nano aerial robots may increase the safety and efficiency of gas source localizations. Since the small payloads of nano aerial robots limit the sensing and computing resources, strategies adapted from biological swarms, such as colonies of social insects, are used to coordinate robot swarms. Most swarm GSL strategies are based on the assumption that the maxima of gas concentrations are sufficiently close to the gas sources. However, prior studies have indicated that the occurrence of “bouts”, a metric for the intermittency of gas distributions, may advantageously be used as a more accurate gas source proximity indicator. This paper presents a swarm GSL strategy employing bouts as source proximity indicators and a bio-inspired pheromone system for communication. Nano aerial robots, deployed in this study, act as agents and emit pheromone markers in an artificial environment upon detecting bouts. Leveraging the concept of artificial potential fields, the agents switch between exploiting the knowledge of the swarm by following pheromone gradients and exploring the search space by targeting a random point. The agents are repelled by each other and by walls to avoid collisions. The swarm GSL strategy is implemented into three nano aerial robots and validated in a real-world experiment in an indoor environment with a single gas source. The results indicate that the the swarm GSL strategy presented in this paper is capable of GSL in indoor environments and that the intermittency of gas distributions is a better source proximity indicator than the mean concentration.

Viele industrielle Anwendungen erfordern eine stoffschlüssige Verbindung von DSS. Das Wolfram-Inertgas-Schweißen (WIG) ist relativ einfach zu handhaben, benötigt nur wenig Platz und ermöglicht ein automatisiertes Schweißen, mit sehr hoher Reproduzierbarkeit und ist daher hervorragend zum Schweißen von DSS. Während der Erstarrung dieser Dualphasenstähle kann es zu kritischen Phasenverhältnissen von α und γ kommen, was zu Erstarrungsrissen, Korrosionsanfälligkeit, geringerer Duktilität und kritischen Festigkeitswerten führt. Um die gewünschten Werkstoffeigenschaften zu erhalten, muss daher die α/γ-Verteilung zuverlässig vorhergesagt werden. Dies geschieht in der Regel mit Hilfe des WRC1992-Diagramms. Die Vorhersagegenauigkeit des Ferritgehalts in diesem Diagramm ist jedoch meist nicht genau genug und muss daher optimiert werden. Daher ist es notwendig, selbst kleinste Veränderungen in der chemischen Zusammensetzung des Schweißguts idealerweise während des Schweißens zu überwachen. Dies wird in diesen Experimenten mit Hilfe der laser-induzierten Plasmaspektroskopie (LIBS) durchgeführt. Ein großer Vorteil dieser Technik ist die hochgenaue zeit- und ortsaufgelöste Messung der chemischen Zusammensetzung während des Schweißens. In vorherigen Arbeiten wurde bereits die chemische Zusammensetzung im Schweißgut und der WEZ quantifiziert. In der präsentierten Untersuchung wird der Einfluss einzelner Elemente, wie Nb und Cu, auf das resultierende Schweißmikrogefüge untersucht.

The goal of this measurement system is to monitor the process of hardening and the evolution of the concrete itself over time to indirectly identify potential defects such as corrosion or cracking. The measured parameters are humidity, temperature, and pressure. In this regard, particular attention was given to the design of the electronic board’s enclosure, to allow the sensors to measure the state of the concrete without being in direct contact with it. In the scope of the European Commission’s project of PREDIS, the supply of power to the battery-less sensors and the data acquired by such sensors are transmitted through the metallic waste drum by an innovative wireless technology developed by VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland) in order to ensure long-term operation while keeping the integrity of the sealed container.
