The addition of small magnetite particles facilitates fabrication of uniformly distributed magnetic elastomer composites by preventing aggregation and sedimentation of large particles during curing. It is shown that using the proposed bimodal filler particles it is possible to tailor various magnetorheological (MR) properties which can be useful for different target applications.

The value of the damping factor as well as the range of deformation amplitudes for the linear viscoelastic regime can be chosen.

Recent European documents for structural design - Eurocodes, fib Model Code 2010 and ISO 2394:2015 for general principles on structural reliability indicate that the partial factors may be adjusted to available information on the quality control of structures. In particular, the partial factors for concrete and steel strength may be significantly reduced taking into account actual execution quality and related available data. Using probabilistic methods of structural reliability, effects for execution quality are investigated in this contribution considering two fundamental reinforced concrete members: a beam (or slab) exposed to bending and a short column exposed to compression. It is shown that the reliability of reinforced concrete members may vary with the load ratio of variable and permanent actions. It appears also that the structural members of a basic quality, designed using unreduced partial factors, have a greater reliability level than the members of an increased quality, designed using the partial factors reduced according to EN 1992 1 1.

With this fact in mind, a 250 W Low Head turbine system was developed and optimized to have the advantage of the simplicity of installation and a construction from readily available materials. This design scores the electrical efficiency of 60\%, reduces manufacturing unit coast to 130 € and takes into account the necessity of providing a clear and simple manual describing the manufacturing and installation. A better version of the load controller, using a microcomputer is under current development. Mounting of the system have been simplified to reduce the amount of construction material required to provide uninterrupted 230 V at 50 Hz AC or optional 12 V DC power supply. Current efforts aim on transferring the required mechanical and electrical knowledge for building, programming, installing and maintaining such system to schools in targeted countries.

Durch die Verringerung der Viskosit{\"a}t des Motor{\"o}ls kann es zu einer verminderten Schmierwirkung des {\"O}ls kommen, die im schlimmsten Fall zur Sch{\"a}digung des Motors f{\"u}hrt. Existierende Offline-Analysemethoden die zeitintensive Laboranalysen nach sich ziehen, als auch Online-Messverfahren die nicht den technischen Anforderungen hinsichtlich Genauigkeit und einer kurzen Messdauer entsprechen, stellen aktuell die einzigen Messmethoden zur Bestimmung der Schmier{\"o}lverd{\"u}nnung dar. Durch neue Entwicklungstrends bei Ottomotoren ist es jedoch unbedingt notwendig, die Mechanismen des Kraftstoffein- und -austrags in das und aus dem Motor{\"o}l genauer zu untersuchen. Mit der an der OTH Regensburg neu entwickelten Messtechnik wurde eine Vorgehensweise erarbeitet, mit der die zeitlichen Verl{\"a}ufe des Kraftstoffein- und -austragsverhaltens bei Ottomotoren quantitativ in kurzer Zeit bestimmt und optimiert werden k{\"o}nnen. Especially at cold start and the warm-up operation GDI engines have an issue with oil dilution. Parameters such as injection timing and injection pressure impact the entry of fuel in the engine oil as well. With the adjustment of engine operating points to higher mean effective pressures resulting in downsizing concepts also an additional increase of fuel entry occurs. Fuel gets into the oil pan and is mixed with the engine oil so that the physical and chemical properties of the engine oil are changed. With the reduction of engine oil viscosity due to fuel entry a reduced lubricating effect can be caused. In the worst case damage to the engine occurs, To determine oil dilution online and offline measurement methods exist. A rather long analysis time in the laboratory is a disadvantage of the offline methods. Online methods are not correlating with technical requirements in terms of accuracy and a short measurement time. New trends in the development of gasoline engines require investigations of fuel in oil sorption and desorption processes. A new measurement technique which is developed at the OTH Regensburg enables to determine quantitative fuel in oil sorption and desorption processes. With this technique a procedure was generated to measure the oil dilution at gasoline engines and optimize them in a short time.}, language = {de} } @article{KuepperArtmannPischingeretal., author = {K{\"u}pper, Carsten and Artmann, Christina and Pischinger, Stefan and Rabl, Hans-Peter}, title = {Lube-Oil Dilution of GDI Engines with Ethanol Fuels}, series = {Auto Tech Review}, volume = {3}, journal = {Auto Tech Review}, number = {3}, publisher = {Springer India}, address = {New Delhi}, doi = {10.1365/s40112-014-0570-5}, pages = {30 -- 35}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MilaevRuiderSchlegl, author = {Milaev, Johannes and Ruider, Martin and Schlegl, Thomas}, title = {Entwicklung eines Experimentalsystems zur Validierung adaptiver Regelungen mit einem OEM-Steuerger{\"a}t}, series = {Tagungsband AALE 2014 : das Forum f{\"u}r Fachleute der Automatisierungstechnik aus Hochschulen und Wirtschaft ; 11.

The yet available crack arrest criterion, known as the Battelle Two-Curve Method (BTCM), leads to reliable predictions up to grade X70 line pipe steels for which it has been validated. This includes specific limits in terms of mechanical properties, pressure and geometry. The application of this criterion to modern pipeline steels, i.e. especially grades X80 and beyond in combination with larger diameters and high pressure, has led to mispredictions of the BTCM. Hence, in order to ensure safe design of pipelines, new methods are required based on in depth knowledge and appropriate characterization of material resistance. This paper presents a procedure for the assessment of dynamic ductile fracture resistance based on combined experimental and numerical investigations. The procedure involves quasi-static and dynamic drop- weight tear testing (DWTT) on modified specimens with pre-fatigued crack for grades X65, X80 and X100 materials, and the application of cohesive zone (CZ) and Gurson-Tveergard-Needleman (GTN) models to describe ductile material damage. The damage model parameters are calibrated on basis of DWTT results and subsequently used to simulate dynamic crack propagation in a pipeline. The influence of material properties (strain hardening, toughness), pipe geometry, usage factor and decompression behaviour on ductile fracture propagation behaviour is studied and evaluated. The results will contribute to an enhanced understanding of major parameters controlling ductile fracture propagation and will help to establish a reliable procedure for safe design of new high-capacity pipelines with regard to crack arrest.}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-4024, title = {Energiespeicher - Bedarf, Technologien, Integration}, editor = {Sterner, Michael and Stadler, Ingo}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin, Heidelberg}, isbn = {978-3-642-37379-4}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-37380-0}, abstract = {Im Kontext der Energiewende sind Energiespeicher ein zentrales technisches, wirtschaftliches und energiepolitisches Thema.Die Autoren dieses kompakten Werkes geben einen umfassenden Uberblick Uber die verschiedenen Aspekte der Energiespeicherung.

However, recent industry experience has revealed concerns related to the limitations and reliability of current test methods for brittle-to-ductile transition evaluation. Regarding the transition temperature evaluation, the critical issues involve Drop-Weight Tear Testing (DWTT) and full-scale West-Jefferson (WJ) test applied to the smaller pipes with diameter less than 500mm. The DWTT leads frequently to invalid results in terms of abnormal fracture appearance and inverse fracture occurrence. It is still not clear if this behavior is only owed to a testing effect, which material characteristics cause it and how far it reflects the full-scale behavior. Similar observations were made for the West-Jefferson tests, which could not be assessed in the standard manner either. Again, the question was towards testing effects and the behavior of the pipeline transporting gaseous media remains unanswered.

A damage mechanics approach has found to be a very promising tool in supporting the experimental characterization of ductile fracture propagation. The major advantage of this approach lies in the consideration of the influence of local stress and strain variables on the damage evolution and thus its capability to describe the fracture resistance of the pipelines with different stress triaxiality level by using the same set of parameters. However, the wider application of this approach has been limited due to the issues such as reliable determination of input parameters and required material properties, mesh size dependence, etc.. The objective of this paper is to characterize dynamic ductile fracture resistance of X65 and X80 pipeline materials and to demonstrate the potential of damage mechanics approach for the simulation of dynamic fracture propagation by using two damage models: (1) Cohesive Zone (CZ) model and (2) Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model. In the first step, results from quasi-static and dynamic tensile tests are used to describe plasticity in terms of flow curves. The calibration of input parameters for both models is performed by using the load-deformation curves from quasi-static tests on non-standard drop-weight tear (DWT) specimens with pre-fatigued crack. b. In the next step, estimated damage model parameters are verified by means of the dynamic tests on the pressed and Chevron notch DWT specimens. Different amounts of crack growth are established by varying the drop height. The experimental fracture resistance is quantified in terms of J-integral at specific crack length. The numerical results are evaluated with respect to global load-deformation and fracture resistance behavior. Furthermore, damage simulations are applied for quantification of local stress conditions in order to identify the major factors controlling the crack propagation.

The irregular fracture performance (e.g. so-called "abnormal inverse fracture" appearance, significant scattering in ductile-to-brittle-transition-temperature region, etc.) suggests that the influence of pipe dimensions, loading parameters, crack initiation resistance as well as testing procedure on the fracture behavior has been neither understood nor properly described. This work aims to shed light on these questions regarding the applicability of conventional methods and to better illuminate most relevant parameters affecting fracture behavior of high toughness steels. To achieve this goal, experimental data basis for analysis of fracture behavior in transition and upper shelf regime has been established by conducting quasi-static fracture mechanics tests and dynamic tests on Battelle Drop Weight Tear (BDWT or DWT) specimens at different temperatures. The evaluation of obtained test results in upper shelf has been additionally complemented by numerical simulation of damage behavior. The results highlight the influence of stress conditions on fracture behavior with reference to pipe dimensions and loading conditions and, subsequently, may be used as a basis for revision of existing design methods.}, subject = {Rissfortschritt}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NonnKalwa, author = {Nonn, Aida and Kalwa, Christoph}, title = {Application of damage mechanics approach for crack propagation in pipeline}, series = {19th Biennial Joint Technical Meeting (JTM) on Pipeline Research, April 29 - May 3, 2013, Sydney, Australia}, booktitle = {19th Biennial Joint Technical Meeting (JTM) on Pipeline Research, April 29 - May 3, 2013, Sydney, Australia}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NonnKalwa, author = {Nonn, Aida and Kalwa, Christoph}, title = {Application of probabilistic fracture mechanics for safety assessment of longitudinally welded linepipes}, series = {6th Pipeline Technology Conference (2013), Ostend, Belgium}, booktitle = {6th Pipeline Technology Conference (2013), Ostend, Belgium}, language = {en} } @misc{Urban, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Urban, Johannes}, title = {Photoelektrisches Direktladen von Elektrofahrzeugen im Inselbetrieb}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:898-opus4-20285}, school = {Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, pages = {118}, abstract = {Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der Ladung von Elektrofahrzeugen durch Solarenergie in einem Inselsystem.

The calculation of parameters is described in detail, in order to achieve best accordance with temperatures obtained from measurements or from simulations with detailed thermal models. Thermal resistances are calculated from end temperatures of a test run with constant load (and known losses). Thermal capacitances are obtained using optimization to minimize deviation of simulated and measured temperatures during the whole test run. The thermal model of an asynchronous induction machine with squirrel cage is coupled with an electrical model of the drive. For validation, simulation results of an optimally parameterized simplified model are compared with temperatures obtained by simulation of a detailed thermal model, which in turn has been validated against measurement results, both for continuous duty S1 and intermittent duty S6 (6 minutes no-load followed by 4 minutes of 140\% nominal load).

In particular, windgas in the heat market is discussed in the utilization cascade of wind energy. The new "power-to-gas" concept opens up completely new possibilities for the integration of renewable energies and for coupling the electricity and gas grids. The Sabatier process, which has been known for 100 years, was first developed for this purpose in 2008 under the leadership of the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research and Fraunhofer IWES (formerly ISET) with electrolysis to create the "power-to-gas" concept for energy storage. A first pilot plant was built by ZSW Stuttgart on behalf of SolarFuel in 2009. This plant proves the technical feasibility of the new technology. Renewable gas is stored, transported and used as required as control and reserve energy via reconversion, e.g. in combined cycle power plants. In this way, decentrally generated renewable electricity is converted into a CO2 -neutral energy carrier with high energy density. The key advantage of renewable methane is the use of existing infrastructure such as gas grids, gas storage and end-use equipment for the integration of renewable energy. Technologies for natural gas are state of the art and commercially available. Methane also has three times the energy density of hydrogen.}, language = {en} } @article{KralKapellerGraggeretal., author = {Kral, Christian and Kapeller, Hansj{\"o}rg and Gragger, Johannes V. and Haumer, Anton and Kubicek, Bernhard}, title = {Phenomenon Rotor Fault-Multiple Electrical Rotor Asymmetries in Induction Machines}, series = {IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics}, volume = {25}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics}, number = {5}, publisher = {IEEE}, issn = {0885-8993}, doi = {10.1109/TPEL.2009.2037502}, pages = {1124 -- 1134}, abstract = {In the literature, the effects caused by a single or several adjacently broken rotor bars, or a broken end ring are thoroughly investigated.
