Kurzfassung
Es wurde eine Prüftechnologie basierend auf dem Wirbelstromverfahren entwickelt, mit der es möglich ist, oberflächennahe Fehler in Schienen zu detektieren und zu bewerten.
Die bisherigen Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass Fahrkantenfehler (Head Checks) mit Risstiefen bis zu 10 mm bewertet werden können. Darüber hinaus werden weitere Inhomogenitäten und Fehler wie z. B. Schleuderstellen, Belgrospi's und Squats detektiert.
Für die Anwendung der Prüftechnologie kommen 4 Anwendungsgebiete in Frage:
Ausrüstung von Schienenprüfzügen,
Manuelle Schienenprüfung,
Ausrüstung von Schienenschleifzügen,
Ausrüstung von stationären Schienenprüfständen.
Die Prüftechnik befindet sich zur Zeit in der Erprobungsphase. Der Schienenprüfzug der Deutschen Bahn AG wird in Kürze mit einem achtkanaligen Prüfsystem ausgerüstet.
Ebenfalls im Erprobungseinsatz befindet sich ein Handprüfsystem zur manuellen Schienenprüfung.
Windeinwirkungen auf Freileitungen wurden in der Vergangenheit meist an exponierten Standorten bestimmt. In einem Langzeitversuch wurden seit 2012 an einer mit moderner Messtechnik ausgerüsteten 380-kV-Leitung der 50 Hertz Transmission GmbH, die im nicht besonders exponierten Gelände verläuft und somit den Leitungen im Netz entspricht, die Windgeschwindigkeiten entlang der Leiter und deren Auswirkungen auf die Stützpunkte gemessen. Die Messungen und die begleitenden Auswertungen bestätigen die heute verwendeten normativen Vorgaben für die Windwirkung auf die Leiter von Freileitungen, soweit dies in der relativ kurzen Zeit von fünf Jahren möglich ist.
Toughening mechanisms and enhanced damage tolerant fatigue behaviour in laminated metal composites
(2022)
In the present study, fatigue crack growth (FCG) in a laminated metal composite (LMC) consisting of Al-based constituents with dissimilar strength was studied. Additionally, the FCG in both monolithic constituent materials was determined and a linear elastic rule of mixture (ROM) concept was calculated as a reference for the FCG of the laminated composite. Crack networks in the laminates were analyzed post-mortem by means of light microscopy and synchrotron X-Ray tomography (SXCT). Significantly reduced FCG rates for the LMC were found at elevated stress intensity ranges compared to both the monolithic constituents as well as the ROM concept. This is the result of the formation of a complex 3D crack network in the laminated architecture caused by the appearance of the two different toughening mechanisms a) crack deflection and b) crack bifurcation at the vicinity of the interfaces.
About the Role of Interfaces on the Fatigue Crack Propagation in Laminated Metallic Composites
(2021)
The influence of gradients in hardness and elastic properties at interfaces of dissimilar materials in laminated metallic composites (LMCs) on fatigue crack propagation is investigated experimentally for three different LMC systems: Al/Al-LMCs with dissimilar yield stress and Al/Steel-LMCs as well as Al/Ti/Steel-LMCs with dissimilar yield stress and Young’s modulus, respectively. The damage tolerant fatigue behavior in Al/Al-LMCs with an alternating layer structure is enhanced significantly compared to constituent monolithic materials. The prevalent toughening mechanisms at the interfaces are identified by microscopical methods and synchrotron X-ray computed tomography. For the soft/hard transition, crack deflection mechanisms at the vicinity of the interface are observed, whereas crack bifurcation mechanisms can be seen for the hard/soft transition. The crack propagation in Al/Steel-LMCs was studied conducting in-situ scanning electron microscope (SEM) experiments in the respective low cycle fatigue (LCF) and high cycle fatigue (HCF) regimes of the laminate. The enhanced resistance against crack propagation in the LCF regime is attributed to the prevalent stress redistribution, crack deflection, and crack bridging mechanisms. The fatigue properties of different Al/Ti/Steel-LMC systems show the potential of LMCs in terms of an appropriate selection of constituents in combination with an optimized architecture. The results are also discussed under the aspect of tailored lightweight applications subjected to cyclic loading.

Dye activation of heterogeneous Copper(II)-Species for visible light driven hydrogen generation
(2019)
Heterogeneous Cu catalysts are widely used in photocatalytic hydrogen generation. The typical working mode includes the transfer of photo-induced charges from a semiconductor to CuO which itself is reduced to Cu2O to initiate the catalytic cycle. In this contribution a photosensitizer (dye), excited by visible light absorption, was used to transfer an electron to the CuO which after reduction catalyzes the water reduction to hydrogen. Several copper(II)-catalysts on high surface silica were prepared by impregnation or precipitation and applied in photocatalytic water reduction. The best catalyst CuO(Cl0.1)/SiO2, synthesized via incipient wetness impregnation of CuCl2 in MCM-41 and a following precipitation with NaOH, achieved a 6 times higher activity (1702 mmol h-1 g-1) compared to a previously investigated copper system (280 mmol h-1 g-1 for CuI) under the same reaction conditions. All materials were fully characterized by XRD, TEM and N2 sorption and further by magnetic resonance and X-ray methods EPR, ASAXS and XAS. In situ measurements evidenced a reduction of the initial Cu(II)-species, which confirms the (proposed) photocatalytic mechanism.
Improved large mesoporous ordered molecular sieves - Stabilization and acid/base functionalization
(2010)
The preparation of nanoporous materials with enhanced stability using an improved synthesis route using reactive inorganic silica and alumina species is reported. This way improved mesoporous molecular sieves were obtained. The synthesized aluminum substituted mesoporous molecular materials (Al-MMS) contain very large pores of 50200 Å size combined with an improved pore wall thickness. Increased wall thickness and Al substitution lead to an improved chemical stability against alkaline solution. The textural, structural and acid properties are investigated by physico-chemical methods. The catalytic performance acidic materials was tested in the benzoylation reaction; amino functionalized materials were studied in the base catalyzed Michael addition.
