We examine the behavior of reinforced concrete components subjected to impact induced loading conditions which might be caused by vessels collisions such as aircraft fuel tanks The concrete plates were impact damaged at TU Dresden and shipped to BAM At BAM laminar tomography as the imaging method is used to determine and quantify the damage state An automatic crack detection method based on template matching is applied to find the cracks and we aim to develop a new method using machine learning Algorithms In addition numerical models are developed to understand the experiment and to predict the damage structures based on failure mechanisms.
Die Simulation von Ultraschallausbreitung ist ein wesentliches Hilfsmittel zur Optimierung von Prüfanordnungen und wird zunehmend in der Prüfvorbereitung eingesetzt.
Eisenbahnschienen sind Bauteile mit komplexer Geometrie und im eingebauten Zustand eingeschränkter Zugänglichkeit. Bei der Prüfung im Feld entstehen aus der Schienengeometrie komplexe Echosignale mit Formanzeigen, die schwer zu interpretieren sind.
Für das bessere Verständnis der Schallausbreitung in der Eisenbahnschiene wird diese in einem ersten Schritt mit Hilfe verschiedener Ansätze modelliert. Hierbei werden Finite Elemente Methoden und semi-analytischen Modelle verwendet. In einem zweiten Schritt werden die Ergebnisse der Simulationsmodelle einander gegenübergestellt und mit Messungen an realen Schienen verglichen.
Ziel dieser Untersuchungen ist die Validierung von Simulationsverfahren mit Hilfe von Messdatensätzen und Überprüfung der Anwendbarkeit bei der Bewertung von Ergebnissen der Schienenprüfung.

Luminescence techniques are amongst the most commonly used analytical methods in life and material sciences due to their high sensitivity, nondestructive character, and easy instrumentation suitable for miniaturization. Photoluminescence signals are, however, affected by wavelength-, polarization-, and time-dependent instrument-related effects. Thus, at the core of standardization approaches for all fluorescence-based techniques are evaluated fluorescence standards for the consideration of instrument-specific spectral and intensity distortions of measured signals and for instrument performance validation (IPV).
Here, we summarize the research of BAM division 1.2 on development of liquid and solid fluorescence standards for various application-relevant fluorescence parameters and techniques. The portfolio of BAM fluorescence reference materials presently consists of:
i) a Spectral Fluorescence Standard Kit, i.e., a set of liquid fluorescence standards with certified normalized corrected emission spectra, for the determination of a broad variety of fluorescence parameters
ii) a ready-to-use, glass-based multi-emitter fluorescence standard for IPV and the determination of instrument-to-instrument variations
iii) specially adapted calibration tools and validation concepts for microarray-based platforms used in molecular diagnostics and food safety control
iv) quantum yield (Φf) standards for relative determination of the key performance parameter Φf of fluorescent materials, which can be also used for the evaluation of the performance of absolute, standard-free methods utilizing integrating sphere setups or spectrometer accessories. These materials, that will eventually cover the ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared spectral region, are currently under certification.
This toolbox of method-adapted reference materials can perfectly complement existing fluorescence standards. These easy-to-use, reference materials can pave the way to traceable fluorescence measurements to a radiometric scale like the spectral radiance or spectral photon radiance for all users of fluorescence techniques in material sciences and analysis, as well as environmental monitoring and biotechnology. They are particularly useful for customers working in strongly regulated areas like medical diagnostics or pharmaceutical research, where certified standards in conjunction with validated standard operating procedures are mandatory.
Type-I pyrethroids are frequently used for disinfection purposes against insects such as adult mosquitoes, or diseases carried by insects, like Malaria or Zika in cabins of airplanes on long-distance flights especially from tropical destinations. This treatment is mandatory at various airports but compliance with the rules is difficult to test for. Moreover, if improperly used, these compounds can entail negative health effects for crews and passengers.
The detection of the pyrethroids will be achieved thanks to an antibody-gated indicator delivery system (gAID) utilizing monoclonal antibodies and hybrid sensory nanoparticles. After the interaction of the pyrethroid with the gAID, the liberated indicator (dye) will be detected. Since only few analyte molecules are necessary for pore opening yet release a large number of dyes, the system shows intrinsic signal amplification.
The device system to be developed has to be so simple that chemically untrained personnel, such as ground or cabin crew, can use it and obtain a result in a reasonably short period of time, e.g., ≤5 min. The need for high accuracy and sufficient sensitivity, established at 0.001 g m–2, is a critical requirement and imposes another significant challenge since this value is beyond current LFTs reported in the literature for pesticide detection to date.
In order to achieve the selectivity and sensitivity required by the test itself, and to avoid cross reactivity with other type I pyrethroids, the production of a monoclonal antibody for both Permethrin and Phenontrin is necessary. The synthesis of the two hapten molecules and the subsequent immunization with different immunogens represent the first goal of the work.
The relevance of chloride measurements in practice for durability condition assessment and a description of the working principle of LIBS will be given. A comparison of chloride profiles obtained by the common wet chemical analysis and results from LIBS measurements are shown to demonstrate the accuracy of the LIBS-technique. In addition, an example on the extra information resulting from measurements performed with LIBS for improvement of condition assessment and prediction will be shown.
We report a new method for top-down one-pot, gram-scale production of high-quality nanographene from graphite under mild conditions. The nanographene sheets had a very low oxygen content, comparable to that of nanographene grown by chemical vapor deposition. This method is easily scalable and comparatively mild, opening the door to an environmentally friendly process to produce high-quality nanographenes.
Nanographene sheets were further covalently functionalized using a non-destructive [2+1] cycloaddition reaction that left the π-conjugated system intact.
Near-ambient pressure XPS makes it possible to characterise samples not compatible to ultra-high vacuum, and enables the study of liquid-solid, gas-liquid and gas-solid interfaces. NAP-XPS meas-urements of biofilms, suspended nanoparticles and metal-organic frameworks were performed with EnviroESCA developed by SPECS.
An interesting application is surface characterisation of biofilms, which are bacterial communities embedded in a self-produced polysaccharide matrix. Various model systems ranging from pure polysaccharides of alginate to biofilms harvested directly from the growth medium have been char-acterised in humid conditions[1].
NAP-XPS also makes it possible to characterise nanoparticles in solution. Silver nanoparticles in aqueous solution were characterised and the Ag 3d-spectrum compared to spectra obtained of dried nanoparticles in UHV-conditions[2]. The binding energy of the Ag 3d-core level peak was shifted by 0,6 eV towards higher binding energy for suspended nanoparticles compared to the dried sample measured in UHV. This can be assigned to a change in surface potential at the water-nanoparticle interface.
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are suitable materials for gas storage of small molecules due to their nanoporous, crystalline structure. However, instability in humidity remains an issue for many types of MOFs. XPS-measurements of the MOF-structure HKUST-1 were performed in various NAP-conditions to assess the stability of the sample and its interaction with the gas molecules as water, methanol and pyridine.
For years there have been more and more reports on the presence of drugs in the aquatic environment. Due to the demographic change, the consumption of pharmaceuticals has risen sharply. After taking the drugs, they are partly metabolized in the human body. However, the metabolism is not complete so that both the metabolites and non-metabolized amounts of the parent compounds are excreted. These compounds reach the waste water and afterwards the sewage treatment plants. In sewage treatment plants transformation products can be formed by the oxidative conditions during wastewater treatment processes. The transformation products may have a higher toxicity than the actual environmental pollutants and are often only partly removed during the waste water treatment. Since a lot of these compounds are still unknown, the transformation products are not detected by target analysis used in sewage treatment plants and are often released undetected in the aquatic ecosystems. The released substances may be subject to additional transformation processes in the environment. Pharmaceuticals produced in high amounts can be already detected in the μg/L range in water bodies worldwide.
Metformin and its major transformation product guanylurea are one of the main representatives. Metformin is the drug of choice for treating type 2 diabetes. The drug therapy for diabetes mellitus has increased significantly in recent years. In the year 2015 1500 tons of metformin were prescribed in Germany (for statutory insured persons). Metformin is not metabolized in the human body and is excreted unchanged therefore concentrations between 57 μg/L and 129 μg/L are found in German waste water treatment plants influents.
In this work the transformation of the antidiabetic drug metformin is investigated. The degradation of metformin is initialize by commercial water treatment techniques like UV-radiation or noncommercial techniques like heterogenous photocatalysis based on titanium dioxide. The degradation of metformin and resulting transformation products are analyzed by LC-MS/MS and LC-HRMS.
