T1 - Detection of defects in thin-walled structures by means of lamb waves T2 - International congress on ultrasonics N2 - In this paper the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM) is applied for the simulation of Lamb waves in cracked plates. This method is highly advantageous to study the interaction of different Lamb wave modes with cracks as the crack is not discretized and no refinement is required around the crack tip. Numerical examples are presented for the reflection of the fundamental symmetric and antisymmetric modes from cracks of different depth. The spatial Fourier transformation is employed to calculate the amplitudes of reflected Lamb wave modes. The results reveal possibilities to obtain details of the crack geometry in non-destructive testing and structural health monitoring applications.

In this work, the influence of laser irradiation on phosphoric acid coated multicrystalline silicon PV-wafers on the wafer surface structure, the phosphorous depth distribution and the electrical contact resistance within the laser treated area as well as the electrical series resistance of laserprocessed solar cells was evaluated. Different laser processing settings were tested including pulsed and continuous wave (cw) laser sources (515 nm, 532 nm, 1064 nm wavelength). Complementary numerical simulations using the finite element method (FEM) were conducted to explain the impact of the laser parameters on the melting behavior (melt duration and geometry). It was found that the melt duration is a key parameter for a successful laser Doping process. Our simulations at a laser wavelengths of 515 nm reveal that low-repetition rate (<500 kHz) laser pulses of 300 ns duration generate a melt duration of ~0.35 µs, whereas upon scanning cw-laser radiation at 532 nm prolongates the melt duration by at least one order of magnitude. Experimentally, the widely used ns-laser pulses did not lead to satisfying laser irradiation results. In contrast, cw-laser radiation and scan velocities of less than 2 m/s led to suitable laser doping featuring low electrical resistances in the laser treated areas.

Das Modell zieht für die Kompression von Holz die seitliche Dehnungsbehinderung – im kontinuumsmechanischen Zusammenhang wäre das die Mehrachsigkeit des Spannungszustandes im Kontinuum – in Betracht. Die Energie, die vom Holz absorbiert werden kann, ist umso größer, je größer die seitliche Dehnungsbehinderung ist. Für die Modellierung mit Finite Elemente Methoden wurden verschiedene Modellierungsstrategien untersucht, keine der vorgeschlagenen Modellierungsstrategien war in der Lage, dass Verhalten von Holz bei Druckbeanspruchung und großen Deformationen inkl. der Entfestigung zu modellieren. Bei Verwendung einer entfestigenden Fließkurve zeigt das Modell ausgeprägte Netzabhängigkeiten und numerischen Instabilitäten. Für die Modellierung der Entfestigung mit Hilfe einer von der Mehrachsigkeit des Spannungszustandes gesteuerten Fließflächenevolution ist kein geeignetes Materialmodell vorhanden. Anhand der Simulation eines Fallversuchs mit einem Behälterkörper und stoßdämpfenden Bauteilen im Maßstab 1:2 wurde gezeigt, dass zwar eine vollständige Modellierung des Stoßdämpferverhaltens inkl. Entfestigung nicht möglich war, aber das Stoßdämpferverhalten mit einer nicht-entfestigenden Fließkurve sinnvoll modelliert werden konnte. Eine Verifikation des Modellierungsansatzes am real zu modellierenden Bauteil ist zwingend erforderlich. Wenn signifikante Änderungen zwischen Verifikations- und Simulationsobjekt auftreten, ist die Zuverlässigkeit der Rechenergebnis als gering zu bewerten. Nur wenn die auftretenden Kompressionsmechanismen durch eine Analyse des Stoßdämpferholzes bestimmt werden können, ist eine zuverlässige Ermittlung von Stoßdämpferkräften- und verformungen möglich.

T1 - Measurement and modeling of scatter ratios at high energies T2 - Review of progress in quantitative nondestructive evaluation, volume 30 N2 - Determining scatter ratios at high energies (> ~ 1MeV) presents challenges not immediately obvious from measurements at conventional X-ray energies. This includes reduced attenuation even in heavy elements as well as a stronger forward bias of scattering. In order to check the reliability of different measurement setups with regard to material thicknesses, distances, and collimation, attenuation and scattering were separately simulated using a Monte Carlo model. The simulation results help in understanding the sources of radiation scattered into the detection area, thereby aiding in eliminating undesired contributions.

BAM has been working on modeling in the field of radiographic testing for many years. With the gathered theoretical background and the familiarity with practical requirements of industrial application the simulation software aRTist has been developed. This analytical simulator includes a description of the radiation source, the interaction of radiation with test pieces and flaws, and the detection process with special focus on film and digital industrial radiology. It features high processing speed with nearinteractive frame rates and a high level of realism. Here we focus on the recent developments of the simulator, notably the release of aRTist version 2. Extended functionality regarding automated virtual computed tomography now allows for arbitrary scan paths. Another program extension supports reliability investigations and provides a user interface for planning automatic simulations with varying parameters and defects.

T1 - Enhanced photon upconversion using erbium-doped nanoparticles interacting with silicon metasurfaces T2 - Proceeding 48th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) N2 - Photon upconversion (UC) using trivalent erbium (Er+3) doped crystals is a promising concept to harness near infrared photons of the solar spectrum which cannot be directly absorbed by silicon solar cells. However, their UC efficiency at low-intensity 1 sun illumination is not relevant on device level so far. Exploiting giant near-field enhancement effects on metasurfaces is an appealing approach to enable efficient UC at low irradiance conditions. Here, we report on more than 1000-fold enhanced photon UC of NaYF4:Er+3 nanoparticles interacting with the near-fields supported by a silicon metasurface under 1550 nm excitation.

T1 - The Finite Volume Method in point of view of Finite Element Method T2 - Book of Abstracts 37th Danubia Adria Symposium on Advances in Experimental Mechanics N2 - The best-known discretization methods for solving engineering problems formulated as partial differential equations are finite difference method (FDM), finite element method (FEM) and finite volume method (FVM). While the finite volume method is used in fluid mechanics, the finite element method is predominant in solid state mechanics. At first glance, FVM and FEM are two highly specialized methods. However, both methods can solve problems of both solid mechanics and fluid mechanics well. Since experimental mechanics deals not only with solid state physics but also with fluid mechanics problems, we want to understand FVM in the sense of FEM in this work. In the long term, we want to use the variational calculus to unify many important numerical methods in engineering science into a common framework. In this way, we expect that experiences can be better exchanged between different engineering sciences and thus innovations in the field of experimental mechanics can be advanced. But in this work, we limit ourselves to the understanding of the FVM with the help of the variational calculus already known in FEM. We use a simple 1D Poisson equation to clarify the point. First, we briefly summarize the FVM and FEM. Then we will deal with the actual topic of this paper, as we establish the FEM and the FVM on a common basis by variation formulation. It is shown here that the FVM can be understood in terms of the finite element method with the so-called Galerkin-Petrov approach.

CT must therefore be treated as a coordinate measuring technique similar to optical or tactile Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs). The well-established standards and guidelines for the acceptance- and verificationtesting of CMMs require the use of calibrated reference standards to achieve measurement machine characteristics. Hence, transferring these concepts from coordinate metrology to CT, a dedicated CT-specific reference standard was designed, manufactured and calibrated using a tactile CMM. For comparison purposes, a CAD model was created by reverse engineering using the calibration data. The calibrated model was fed into a virtual CT and the measurement process was simulated. The reference standard was measured by micro-CT. By comparing the characteristics of the measurement output of CT and the output gained from simulation, the influences of measurement artefacts can be judged, for the first time, in analogy to existing Guidelines of coordinate metrology.

T1 - Evacuation dynamics under consideration of vulnerable pedestrian groups T2 - Proceedings of the 14th International Fire Science & Engineering Conference (Interflam) N2 - The understanding of human behavior during evacuation processes is an important matter to improve the safety of infrastructures. In many countries, the implementation of performance based codes enables fire safety engineers to use computer based calculation tools to predict and evaluate pedestrian movement and human behavior in buildings. The models are based on experimentally obtained parameters and theoretical models. Pedestrian behavior can be influenced by the characteristics of the buildings (e.g. type of the building) as well as the characteristics of individuals and the pedestrian group. This paper shows that the approach of Required Safe Egress Time (RSET) / Available Safe Egress Time (ASET) is imprecise with regard on heterogeneous pedestrian groups, because this concept completely neglected the variability’s in individual pre-movement and movement abilities.
