Beton, insbesondere hochfester Beton, neigt im Brandfall zu explosionsartigen Abplatzungen, die zu einer Reduzierung des tragfähigen Querschnitts und im schlimmsten Fall zu einem Bauteilversagen führen können. Als Ursache für explosionsartige Betonabplatzungen werden gegenwärtig thermohydraulische sowie thermomechanische...

This paper presents the non-uniform change in cell thickness of cylindrical Lithium (Li)-ion cells due to the change of State of Charge (SoC). Using optical measurement methods, with the aid of a laser light band micrometer, the expansion and contraction are determined over a ...

The ability to track the structural condition of existing structures is one of engineers, governments, and estate managers’ main con-cerns. In bridge maintenance programs, for example, visual in-spection predominates nowadays as the primary source of infor-mation. Nonetheless, visual inspections alone...

A high-performance building must fulfill comfort and energy efficiency requirements. Possible solutions include passive strategies, such as improving the building envelope and taking advantage of natural light and ventilation. Natural ventilation (NV), for instance, can provide both thermal comfort an...

In the smart home era living environments are significantly changing. Smart home technologies offer new opportunities for the users to control or monitor their smart home appliances. In the near future, smart home appliances may need to inform their users about everyday home detail...

Ever since patterns have entered the field of software technology, they became a popular way to express solutions for reoccurring problems in a specific context. By the increasing number of published patterns, supposed pattern duplicates emerged, which for instance share the same name&#...

The manual deployment of cloud applications is error-prone, time-consuming, and requires considerable technical knowledge. To tackle these issues and automate the deployment of applications, multiple approaches have been proposed that enable the description of applications in the form of declarative&#...

With the rise of cloud computing, the automated deployment and management of applications has become increasingly important. Manual execution of deployment steps can become error-prone, time-consuming, and costly. Therefore, deployment technologies are necessary to achieve a high level of automation.&...

Die automatische Bereitstellung von Cloud-Anwendungen gewinnt immer mehr an Bedeutung, da diese zunehmend komplexer werden. Deshalb ist es notwendig, die Modellierung und Bereitstellung zu erleichtern, um die Entwicklungszeit solcher Anwendungen zu verringern und sie schnellstmöglich Verfügbar zu machen. D...

Optic flow estimation is a significant area of interest within the field of computer vision. Recently, end-to-end neural network-based approaches have received significant interest in the estimation of optic flow. One of the best methods in this field is RAFT, which outperforms previous...

The generation of an intermediate frame between two consecutive frames in a video is an ongoing challenge in computer vision. This concept is known as motion interpolation, or interframe interpolation, and usually works by following the path of an optical flow. To obtain accurate&#...

In many engineering applications, solid materials undergo processes that cause an irreversible change in their microstructure. Such dissipative phenomena usually have a multifield character which means that, besides the macro-deformation, also other physical fields such as temperature, species concentratio...

This dissertation studies electronic transport in graphene at high and low carrier density. At very high carrier densities, the band structure of graphene features a Van Hove singularity. Magnetotransport measurements suggest that below 110K, a pseudogap opens in graphene, combined with a&#x...

Der Maschinenbau ist maßgeblich am Erfolg der produzierenden Industrie beteiligt, daher ist ein effizienter Produktentstehungsprozess besonders wichtig Dabei weisen vor allem Inbetriebnahmeprozesse, die den größten Anteil an Fehlerentdeckungen im Gesamtprozess haben, ein großes Optimierungspotenzial auf. Der steigen...

Die zunehmende Nachfrage nach kundenspezifischen Lösungen, der wirtschaftliche Aufstieg von Schwellenländern und der verschärfte Preiswettbewerb durch meist nicht-europäische Marktteilnehmer stellen die mittelständisch geprägten Unternehmen des deutschen Maschinenbaus vor neue Herausforderungen. Die Unternehmen sind gefordert,...

The optical modulation of lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4, LMO) and lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12, LTO) due to Li-ion insertion is quantitatively characterized. Ion beam sputtering is used to deposit the layers of respective materials on top of already sputtered platinum which acts as th...

The paper reports evidence that the multi-spin-axis magnetic structure proposed in 1964 by van Laar is realized in antiferromagnetic CoO. This tetragonal spin arrangement produces both the strong tetragonal and the weaker monoclinic distortion experimentally observed in this material. The monocli...
