This leads to a material with magnetically controllable mechanical properties of which the magnetorheological effect is the best known. The addition of electroconductive particles to the polymer mix adds electrical properties to the material behaviour. The resulting electrical resistance of the sample can be manipulated by external magnetic fields and mechanical loads. This results in a distinct interplay of mechanical, electrical and magnetic effects with a highly complex time behaviour. In this paper a mechanical characterisation on multiple time scales was conducted to get an insight on the short and long-term electrical and mechanical behaviour of this novel material. The results show a complex resistivity behaviour on several timescales, sensitive to magnetic fields and strain velocity. The observed material exhibits fatigue and relaxation behaviour, whereas the magnetorheological effect appears not to interfere with the piezoresistive properties.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HacklHirschbergLexetal., author = {Hackl, Andreas and Hirschberg, Wolfgang and Lex, Cornelia and Rill, Georg}, title = {Experimental validation of the Maxwell model for description of transient tyre forces}, series = {16.

These particles can be electrically conducting and often have magnetic properties. In order to accurately model and simulate such materials, precise calculation of the electrical capacitance between identically sized spheres is required. This is of particular relevance at microscopic dimensions where many smart material-based micro devices are concerned. This may appear trivial for a small number of particles. However, many methods or their analysis appear to be questionable or not applicable at reduced dimensions. In this work, the various methods of analysis are scrutinized before being compared with both simulation and direct measurements. It is surprising to note that of the many works investigated only 3 are in close agreement with both simulation and measurement. Graphical abstract This paper deals with the precise calculation of the electrical capacitance between two conducting spheres of equal, or near equal size.The calculations have been verified by both experimental measurements and simulation.

For example, Europe has set ambitious targets to achieve 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030. However, numerous case studies from different countries have found that accelerating the transition to net-zero carbon emissions is easily hampered by the lack of a coherent systems framework, and that implementation gaps remain at the community level. These barriers are often due to a lack of an adequate end-user (i.e., household) input and early planning participation. This work therefore aims to improve on conventional planning methods that do not reflect innovative technologies with uncertainty and may not be applicable due to the lack of community empowerment, which is a dynamic learning and intervention opportunity for end-users at different planning stages (i.e., outreach, survey, planning, implementation, management, and maintenance). Using the lessons learned from participatory action research, whereby the author was involved as a project director throughout the planning and design process, we identified a six-step cycle principle. The steps are (1) collective action commitments, (2) local values and resource identification, (3) carbon footprint inventory, (4) optimized integration of environment, economy, and energy action plans, (5) Flexible strategic energy system plans, and (6) digital performance monitoring. Ultimately, the outcomes provide application support for policymakers and planners and stimulate community engagement to contribute to the achievement of zero net carbon emissions.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HacklHirschbergLexetal., author = {Hackl, Andreas and Hirschberg, Wolfgang and Lex, Cornelia and Rill, Georg}, title = {Tyre type dependent transient force behaviour by means of a maxwell model}, series = {The Dynamics of Vehicles on Roads and Tracks : Proceedings of the 25th Symposium of the International Association of Vehicle System Dynamics (IAVSD 2017), Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia, 14-18 August 2017}, booktitle = {The Dynamics of Vehicles on Roads and Tracks : Proceedings of the 25th Symposium of the International Association of Vehicle System Dynamics (IAVSD 2017), Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia, 14-18 August 2017}, editor = {Spiryagin, Maksym and Gordon, Timothy and Cole, Colin and McSweeney, Tim}, publisher = {CRC Press}, address = {London}, isbn = {1351057170}, doi = {10.1201/9781315265506}, pages = {157 -- 162}, abstract = {The present papers deals with the usability of an extended Maxwell model to describe the tyre dynamics during transient driving manoeuvres. In the present article, the para-metrisation process of a dynamic tyre model is investigated in a first step, using measurement data of tyre forces from a flat trac tyre test bench, (IABG 2016). Two tyre types of dimensions 255/50 R19 and 175/55 R15 are used. The practical applicability is discussed, considering the measurement procedure and the parameter optimisation process. In a second step, the performance of the dynamic tyre model is validated using measurements of manoeuvres under higher dynamic excitation. As a last step, an outlook is given on further research planned in which the presented model and parametrisation are adapted to a larger frequency range.}, language = {en} } @article{MikhaeilNowakPalombaetal., author = {Mikhaeil, Makram and Nowak, Sebastian and Palomba, Valeria and Frazzica, Andrea and Gaderer, Matthias and Dawoud, Belal}, title = {Experimental and analytical investigation of applying an asymmetric plate heat exchanger as an evaporator in a thermally driven adsorption appliance}, series = {Applied Thermal Engineering}, journal = {Applied Thermal Engineering}, number = {228}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2023.120525}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:898-opus4-61115}, abstract = {This communication presents an experimental and analytical study on the evaporation mechanism in a closed-structured asymmetric plate heat exchanger (PHE) employed as a stagnant water evaporator for the application in an adsorption heat transformation appliance. To this aim, an experimental unit is constructed, which comprises two identical PHEs, one acting as an vaporator/condenser and the second, as an adsorber/desorber. Two endoscopes are mounted inside the investigated evaporator to visualize the evaporation mechanism when performing adsorption-evaporation processes under different boundary conditions. It turned out that the evaporation mechanism is a partially covered, thin film evaporation. A heat transfer analysis is performed to evaluate the heat transfer coefficient of the thin film evaporation () inside the investigated evaporator, resulting in -values between 1330 and 160 [W∙m-2∙K-1] over the investigated adsorption-evaporation time. Correlating the obtained () to the film thickness and the wetted area results in -values between 0.34 and 0.78 [mm] and wetted to total area ratios of 0.78 to 0.16. Besides, an analytical model has been developed and introduced to correlate the overall evaporator heat transfer coefficient with the adsorption potential and the time rate of change of the water uptake.}, language = {en} } @techreport{MartererKemeterLangetal., author = {Marterer, Verena and Kemeter, Dominik and Lang, Andreas and Dischner, Alexander and Huber, Stephanie and Obermeier, Maximilian and Langer, Tobias}, title = {FMS-Berichte Sommersemester 2021}, editor = {Meier, Hans and Niemetz, Michael and Reindl, Andrea}, address = {Regensburg}, doi = {10.35096/othr/pub-2104}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:898-opus4-21040}, pages = {VI, 37}, abstract = {Dieser Bericht entstand auf Initiative der Studierenden des 2020 neu gegr{\"u}ndeten Masterstudiengangs „Elektro- und Informationstechnik (MEI)", die an der Pflichtlehrveranstaltung „Forschungsmethoden und Seminar (FMS)" im Sommersemester 2021 teilnahmen.
