They require continual maintenance and in many cases they can become inap-propriate for their original purpose due to obsolescence and are demolished. The present contribution ex-plores the obsolescence of buildings and in particular the definitions of obsolescence, the related influenc-ing factors and the associated uncertainties. Thereby definitions of the obsolescence rate based on the physi-cal and useful (service) life are clarified. The experienced useful life of buildings in Finland, Germany and North America is statistically analysed, utilizing available databases, and comparisons with the design (minimum) working life specified in standards are made. The probability of not exceeding the required min-imum service life is evaluated and discussed. Whereas many factors affecting the obsolescence rate are be-yond the control of civil engineers, particular attention needs to be paid to cases where the service life of the structure is determined by physical aspects related to deterioration. These cases are identified and recom-mendations to improve structural design are offered. The service life and the related renewal rate is influ-encing the risk acceptance criteria as given in ISO 2394. Such criteria are derived on the basis of economic optimization and the LQI marginal safety costs principle. A statistical model for the renewal rate is obtained and its influence on the target reliability is investigated for a representative failure limit state. The influence of the obsolescence rate is quantified and critically disputed.}, language = {en} } @article{daSilvaMotaHinckelRoccoetal., author = {da Silva Mota, Fabio Antonio and Hinckel, Jose Nivaldo and Rocco, Evandro Marconi and Schlingloff, Hanfried}, title = {Modeling and Analysis of a LOX/Ethanol Liquid Rocket Engine}, series = {Journal of Aerospace Technology and Management}, volume = {10}, journal = {Journal of Aerospace Technology and Management}, publisher = {Inst Aeronautica \& Espaco-IAE}, doi = {10.5028/jatm.v10.914}, abstract = {This work studies the performance and dry mass of the under development LOX/Ethanol L75 liquid rocket engine. To this end, an object-oriented program written in C++ was developed. The program is intended to be versatile and easily extensible in order to analyze different configurations of liquid rocket engines. The UML (Unified Modeling Language) tool is used to model the architecture of the codes. UML diagrams help to visualize the code structure and the communication between objects, enabling a high degree of abstraction. The cryogenics Vulcain and HM7B engines power cycles along with the staged-combustion SSME engine perform the verification of the codes. Finally, the influence of changes in design parameters on the performance and dry mass of the L75 rocket engine is analyzed.}, language = {en} } @article{BraunGebhardMatysiketal., author = {Braun, Peter and Gebhard, J{\"u}rgen and Matysik, Frank-Michael and Rabl, Hans-Peter}, title = {Potential Technical Approaches for Improving Low-Temperature NOx Conversion of Exhaust Aftertreatment Systems}, series = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, volume = {90}, journal = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, number = {6}, publisher = {WILEY-VCH}, doi = {10.1002/cite.201700122}, pages = {762 -- 773}, abstract = {Lean-burn engines, such as diesel engines, are widely used in mobile and stationary applications.

The observer has been successfully tested with a lab-scale latent heat storage with a single pass tube bundle and the phase change material located in a shell around each tube. It turns out that the observer robustly tracks the real process data with as few as four internal PCM temperature sensors. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

Februar 2018, Ludwigsburg}, publisher = {AVL Deutschland}, address = {Mainz}, pages = {1 -- 9}, abstract = {Recent developments in exhaust gas legislation make it necessary to focus the research at the particulate emissions from gasoline engines and technologies for their reduction. In addition to the particulates resulting from the combustion of the fuel, the oil emissions represent another possible source for particulate emissions. This paper presents a measurement method which can be used to quantify stationary as well as dynamic oil emissions of gasoline engines. Furthermore, the correlation between the oil emissions and the particulate emissions is the focus of the investigations. Conventional methods for the determination of the oil emissions, such as the gravimetric and the volumetric measurement, are unsuitable since they require long engine operation times to provide useful results. These methods therefore do not allow a fast online measurements during the dynamic operation. For this reason, a new measuring method was used, which allows for a time-resolved online measurement of the oil emissions. This measurement method is based on the sulfur tracer method, which uses the sulfur that is naturally contained in the engine oil as a tracer. The sulfur concentration in the exhaust gas is determined by using an Ion-Molecule-Reaction mass spectrometer. The determination of the particulate emissions corresponds to the PMP regulation. The studies carried out under steady state and dynamic conditions show a clear correlation between the oil consumption and the number of particulates in the exhaust gas. In the case of the dynamic measurements it could also be shown that time-resolved measurements of the oil consumption are possible with the used measurement setup. In addition, it was shown that the number of particulates does not influence the measurement of the SO2-concentration. Furthermore, the different effects of burned and unburned oil emissions have been evaluated by the dosing of the oil into the exhaust gas. The overall conclusion of the measurements shows a strong influence of the oil emissions on the particulate emissions. Therefore, it is crucial to reduce the oil emissions. Possible approaches for this reduction can be improved turbocharger sealing concepts, new piston ring designs or more efficient oil separators for the crankcase ventilation system.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SmolareckFaisstSchneider, author = {Smolareck, Elisabeth and Faisst, Holger and Schneider, Ralph}, title = {Modellbasierte Korrektur von Inertialsensor-Signalen - Ein Schritt auf dem Weg zum hochautomatisierten Fahren}, series = {Konferenz: AALE 2018 - 15.
