T1 - Fatigue strength and life determination of weldments based on fracture mechanics N2 - The paper provides an overview on the results of a German cluster project on the use of fracture mechanics to the determination of the fatigue strength of weldments with fatigue cracks originating at the weld toes. The approach includes (a) a concept for short crack propagation for which the common ΔK concept is not applicable and the crack closure effects are still being gradually build-up, (b) a method for determining fatigue life relevant initial crack sizes as they are needed in any fracture mechanics analysis and (c) multiple cracking and crack coalescence at load levels higher than the endurance limit. The analyses are stochastically performed. Both, the endurance limit and the finite life branch of the S-N curve are determined. Besides a brief introduction into the approach, validation examples are presented. These comprise different weldment types (butt welds, cross joints and longitudinal stiffened plates), two steels (S355NL and S960QL) of quite different strengths, different weld geometries due to different welding techniques (WIG, MAG), as-welded and stress relieved welds and different stress ratios varying from R = -1 to R = 0.5.

The beamline BAMline at BESSY II, which is operated by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, can provide a monochromatized beam in a photon energy range from 5 keV up to 80 keV with a bandwidth of 2%. Together with the microtomography setup, this enables differential tomography sensitive to any element with N >= 24 (Cr) by using an appropriate K- or L-edge in this range. Here, absorption edge tomography at the Yttrium edge is employed to perform a non-destructive 3D characterization of the microstructure of a high strength Mg-Y-Zn alloy. The long period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase which forms fibres in this material was extracted based on the Yttrium content and the fibre length distribution was analysed.

T1 - Application of semiconductor quantum dots in bioimaging and biosensing N2 - In this review we present new concepts and recent progress in the application of semiconductur quantum dots (QD) as labels in two important areas of biology, bioimaging and biosensing. We analyze the biologically relevant properties of QDs focusing on the following topics: QD surface treatment and stability labeling of cellular structures and receptors with QDs, incorporation of QDs in living cells, cytotoxicity of QDs and influence of the biolocical environment on the biological and optical properties of QDs. Initially, we consider utilization of QDs as agants in high-resolution bioimaging techniques that can provide information at the molecular levels. The deverse range of modern live-cell QD-based imaging techniques with resolution far beyond the diffraction limit of light is examined. In each technique, we discuss the pros and cons of QD use and deliberate how QDs can be further engineered to facilitate their application in the respective imaging techniques and to produce significant improvements in resolution. Then we review QD-based point-of-care bioassays, bioprobes, and biosensors designed in different formats ranging from analytic biochemistry assays and ELISA, to novel point-of-care smartphone integrated QD-based biotests. Here, a wide range of QD-based fluorescence bioassays with optical transduction, electrochemiluminescence and photoelectrochemical assays are discussedc. Finally, this review provides an analysis of the prospects of application of QDs in selected important Areas of biology.

The Advantages of fast reactions in high purity and yield face a lack of understanding the underlying mechanism. Therefore, in situ setups to study mechanochemical reactions have been established. Herein, we present an in situ investigation of the mechanochemical cocrystal formation of pyrazinamide (PZA) with pimelic acid (PM) using synchrotron XRD. Two new polymorphs of PZA:PM (1:1) were synthesized by milling the starting materials in milling jars of different materials. While Form I is only obtained using a steel jar, Form II can be obtained purely in jars made of Perspex. In situ XRD experiments reveal a direct formation of Form II in Perspex and an intermediate formation of Form II in steel jars converting to Form I upon further grinding. Heating experiments and DFT calculations predict that Form II is the thermodynamically more stable polymorph. Therefore, the reaction progress in the steel jar contradicts Ostwald’s rules of stages as the more stable Form II converts into the metastable Form I. Hence, mechanochemistry offers the possibility to synthesize new materials that cannot be obtained using conventional methods.

T1 - Assessment of additively manufactured lattice structures for gas turbine applications N2 - Additive Manufacturing (AM) allows for the unique combination of building highly complex parts with integrated functional design. One particular design feature is known as lattice structures, which provide opportunities for innovative applications in the high-temperature regime of gas turbines. These structures require the development of reliable manufacturing methods to produce dependable structural integrity and geometrical accuracy. Consequently, the subsequent validation of these thin structures must also be examined in depth and differently than with current approaches. In this study, a holistic assessment of Ni based high temperature lattice structures is pursued, utilizing a systematic design-follows-complexity approach. Single struts of different geometries and orientations are investigated first, then combined to a variety of unit cell types and finally multiplied to complex lattice structures. Initial test trials with these thin structures proved a dependency of geometrical accuracy, microstructure and structural properties to the AM process setup. The trials underlined the need for design guidelines and a distinction between bulk and thin structures, as they showed differences in microstructural and mechanical behaviour. By application of high resolution, non destructive characterization methods such as computer tomography (CT and µCT), evaluation of defects and the thin structures’ metrology has been performed. First results revealed a number of defects compromising the structural integrity and therefore limiting the lifing behaviour. This was confirmed in destructive testing (e.g. tensile and compression). Furthermore, it was proven that the distribution, the number, the size and the type of defects are also dependent on the AM process setup. While there are large potentials for use of lattice structures in gas turbine applications, the experiments indicate the strong need for an increased understanding of manufacturing and design for these complex structures and that this gap needs to be bridged.

The BLE-module communicates with a mobile Smart Device as tablet via 2.45 GHz-ISM-frequency band where water dipoles start to oscillate, Fig. 2. The damping model demonstrates this damping effect on RSSI by the abstraction of the reality observed in a real system. Through the reproduction of the active relationships, the system behavior is decomposed in such a way that a separate consideration of the required system parameters is possible.
