Ziel der vorliegenden Untersuchung war es zu überprüfen, inwiefern eine Bemessungsvorschrift auf Basis von Teilsicherheitsbeiwerten im Lehmmauerwerksbau möglich ist. Bemessungsvorschriften im konventionellen Mauerwerksbau und im Lehmmauerwerksbau waren aufgrund des prinzipiell gleichen Tragverhaltens stets eng miteinander verknüpft. Die im Rahmen dieser Arbeit durchgeführten Druckversuche an Lehmmauermörtel, Lehmsteinen und Lehmmauerwerk konnten zeigen, dass die Streuungen der Festigkeiten von Lehmbaustoffen aufgrund der industriellen Herstellung sehr gering sind. Es konnte festgestellt werden, dass eine Bemessung auf Grundlage des semiprobabilistischen Bemessungskonzeptes in Anlehnung an den konventionellen Mauerwerksbau möglich ist. Neben einem ersten Vorschlag des Teilsicherheitsbeiwertes für den Lastzustand Druck werden Vorschläge für Prüfvorschriften im Lehmbau beziehungsweise deren Modifikation unterbreitet und künftige Forschungsschwerpunkte herausgearbeitet.
Offshore wind turbines enter unknown territory, especially where the foundations are concerned. This is because offshore wind power can only make use of the experience from the common offshore constructions used by the oil and gas industry to a limited extent. The offshore wind industry has tried to reduce foundation dimensions, especially the pile lengths, as much as possible compared with those of the oil and gas industry. This is because with the large number of wind turbines involved it can provide considerable economic advantages. On the other hand, the stability of the foundations is additionally at risk because due to the much larger number of cyclic loads they are subjected to it is very difficult to predict how they will behave. Since offshore wind farms are manufactured in series, every systematic fault in the foundation acts as a series fault for a large number of turbines. This calls for monitoring – and the right dimensions of pile foundation, the most common type of foundations used for wind turbines
Welding is the most important joining technology. In the steel construction
industry, e.g. production of windmill sections, welding accounts for a
main part of the manufacturing costs and resource consumption. Moreover, social
issues attached to welding involve working in dangerous environments. This aspect
has unfortunately been neglected so far, in light of a predominant focus on economics
combined with a lack of suitable assessment methods. In this chapter,
exemplary welding processes are presented that reduce the environmental and
social impacts of thick metal plate welding. Social and environmental Life Cycle
Assessments for a thick metal plate joint are conducted for the purpose of
expressing and analysing the social and environmental impacts of welding.
Furthermore, it is shown that state-of-the-art technologies like Gas Metal Arc
Welding with modified spray arcs and Laser Arc-Hybrid Welding serve to increase
social and environmental performance in contrast to common technologies, and
therefore offer great potential for sustainable manufacturing.
Electromagnetic methods are widely used in Non-destructive Testing industries (NDT). In order to meet the requirements, safety-relevant products and structures have to be tested reliably during production or within subsequent maintenance cycles. For this purpose industrial users call for adapted testing methods which allow the detection of relevant defects such as cracks and pore in ferromagnetic or conductive materials. Automated testing systems and the application of sensor arrays are of great interest in order to enhance inspection quality and to decrease testing time and costs. Magneto resistance (MR) sensors like giant magneto resistance (GMR) or tunnel magneto resistance sensor (TMR) have proofed their suitability in many NDT-applications due to their extraordinary properties which combine high field sensitivity, a high spatial resolution and low costs. Due to their small size these sensors can be useful – in addition to the pure detection task – for a more detailed defect characterization and defect reconstruction providing defect size, orientation and geometry. This chapter gives a brief introduction of electromagnetic testing methods, i.e., magnetic particle inspection (MPI) and eddy current testing (ET), followed by two different approaches for which MR sensor arrays were successfully adapted.
Sol-Gel wood preservation
(2017)
The sol–gel-based modification of wood introduces chemical substances into wood in order to improve its characteristics and impart new properties. It stabilizes dimensions of wood (timber) components, increases its strength and resistance to water, and reduces cracking. Many sol–gel-based impregnations aim to protect against wood rot and fire. In most cases, the treatments are performed with alkoxysilanes, polysiloxanes, colloidal silica, or organically modified silica. In addition further substances such as titania, copper, and boron compounds have been applied on different types of wood. The precursor solutions were introduced by immersion, painting, or spray coating of wood followed by a drying and heat treatment process. The structure of the impregnated wood was investigated by SEM, EDX, TEM, FT-IR, NMR, and XRD. Frequently, test procedures according to standards were applied in order to assess the improvement in properties. Investigations demonstrate that silica and titania impregnations change properties first of all with increasing the amount of absorbed inorganic material (WPG), which is determined by the concentration of precursors, amount and size of particles in the sol, and the impregnation method. Sol–gel impregnation can be considered as an environmentally friendly approach of wood preservation. Various improvements in wood properties can be achieved such as reduced water uptake and volume swelling, improved weather stability, resistance against biodegradation, and fire retardancy.
High-speed photography was applied to investigate the explosive behavior of bubble-containing systems of the type organic solvent---gaseous oxidizing agent. Knowledge about the explosive behavior of such systems is of great importance, for example, for the safe operation of chemical reactors in oxidation processes in the liquid phase. Examples of the complex dynamical reaction of bubbles are elucidated where bubble-containing liquids were subjected to the impact of shockwaves. The different stages of the shock-induced explosive behavior of oxygen and oxygen plus inert gas bubbles were studied experimentally and theoretically mainly in liquid cyclohexane. Other solvents, such as cumene and 2-ethylhexanal, have been found to show that shock-induced bubble explosions can occur even if the gas phase of the bubble is not in the explosive range before impact. Tue influence of different parameters on the bubble Explosion process, such as the composition of the bubbles and the initial pressure, was investigated.
Limiting conditions for bubble explosions were determined. In addition to the behavior of individual bubbles, the interaction of exploding bubbles with one another was observed, which provides information on the Propagation mechanism of self-sustaining bubble-detonation waves. The results are important for the safety assessment of the explosion risks in corresponding two-phase systems.
The investigation of physical properties and chemical composition generates data important for answering art-historical questions. Due to technological developments, technical diagnostics in art and culture are in ever-greater demand in such fields of transdisciplinary research. Based on one example, a collar drawing from the Berlin Diez albums, the present paper aims to give some insights into the multi-instrumental approach in the material analysis of cultural artefacts. The same methods were also applied to other drawings from the Diez Albums.
Unterschiedliche Werkstoffeigenschaften reagieren auf jeweils spezifische Weise auf Gittertyp, Gefüge und Defekte. Für die schadenstolerante Betrachtung von Werkstoff und Bauteil ist das Verständnis dieser Zusammenhänge essentiell. Der Beitrag gibt mit Hinblick auf additiv gefertigte metallische Bauteile mittels Selective Laser Melting einen kurzen, keineswegs vollständigen Überblick über Faktoren, die die Steifigkeit, Festigkeit, Duktilität, Zähigkeit, Ermüdungsrissausbreitung und Schwingfestigkeit beeinflussen. Es wird aufgezeigt, wie die bruchmechanische Betrachtung zur Quantifizierung der Zusammenhänge beitragen kann.
