    Practical methods and tools for specification
    (1987) Ludewig, Jochen
    This is a course on specification. Since it is based on experiences in the field of software engineering. It applies primarily to software specifications. Many observations and reports indicate, however, that, from specification aspects, there is not much difference between information processing systems in general and software in particular. Therefore, most of this course applies also to system specification. In the first chapter, some fundamentals are discussed. These include the life cycle model and the distribution of costs over the various activities, some definitions, and a rationale for semi-formal specification. The second chapter provides a general outline of a specification system, whose desirable properties are deduced from the qualities of good specifications. In the third chapter, we present some typical specification systems. The primary goal is to show some typical features of such systems rather than to describe them in detail. The fourth chapter addresses management aspects. In chapter 5, some general conclusions are drawn. The appendix (chapter 6) contains a bibliography on specification, and a list of suppliers.

    Die Ermittlung von Steuerprofilen zur Insulinabgabe mit programmierbaren Insulininfusionssystemen
    (1981) Schulz, Gerhard; Beyer, Jürgen; Nagel, Joachim H.; Strack, Thomas; Krause, Ulrich; Hassinger, Wieland; Cordes, Uwe
    Der Insulinverbrauch und die Form der Insulinabgabeprofile bei intravenöser Insulintherapie mit nicht rückgekoppelten Infusionsgeräten wurde bisher nur rein empirisch ermittelt. Dabei war die Form der Insulinabgabeprofile nicht zuletzt auch von den technischen Möglichkeiten des Dosiergerätes abhängig. Unser Ziel war es, Grundsätze für die Blutzuckerführung mit Open-Loop-Systemen zu entwickeln. Die Insulinprofile sollten dem Blutzuckeranstieg und Abfall nach den Mahlzeiten möglichst gut angepaßt sein und individuell programmiert werden können, so daß der Patient zu den Mahlzeiten das entsprechende Programm abrufen kann.

    Simulation of cracking and failure of concrete structures
    (1990) Cervenka, Vladimir; Eligehausen, Rolf
    The computer simulation of the cracking process in concrete structures is performed by means of the program system SBETA. The program is based on nonlinear hypo-elastic constitutive model, which covers all important, experimentally derived material properties, namely, cracking, nonlinear stress-strain law in compression, softenning in compression and tension, biaxial failure function, etc. The nonlinear fracture mechanics is included by means of the fictitious crack model and smeared crack approach. Two examples of computer simulation of concrete fracture are shown. In the first example, the failure mode of a pull-out test is presented. In the second example, the process of the crack development and shear failure of a reinforced concrete beam is simulated.

    Issues in designing object management systems
    (1990) Clow, Geoff; Plödereder, Erhard
    This paper summarizes the discussions of the Object Management System (OMS) session at the Chinon Workshop. The session identified numerous capabilities which might be required in an OMS. The facilities which were agreed upon as essential to an OMS are presented in Section 1, OMS Core Facilities. A number of issues in the realization of these and other capabilities, influenced in part by specific application scenarios, are discussed in Section 2, OMS Requirements Issues. Promising applications requiring further investigation can be found in Section 3, Perceptions for the Future. Some global observations on the past and future conduct of the OMS field are summarized in Section 4, Concluding Observations.

    Biophysical investigations of the in vitro effects of shock waves and ultrasound
    (1993) Brümmer, Franz; Suhr, Dierk; Irmer, Ulrich; Bachleitner, Christoph; Hülser, Dieter F.
    To investigate the interactions of ultrasonic waves with biological tissues, we developed and standardized several in vitro models. Using these systems - artificial stones, human erythrocytes, L1210 mouse leukemia cells, multicellular spheroids, cavitation assay - we are able to elucidate the mechanisms of interaction as well as the cause of clinically observed side effects.

    An example of a combined discharge-control and aeration structure
    (1983) Kobus, Helmut; Westrich, Bernhard
    The design of a hydraulic structure in a cooling water circuit is described which serves the dual purpose of controlling the water levels in the system upstream and of providing a maximum oxygen uptake without discharging large amounts of air into the subsequent pressure duct in order to avoid blow-out problems.

    Dynamics of poling PVDF between 25°C and 120°C
    (1991) Eberle, Gernot; Eisenmenger, Wolfgang
    PVDF films with high β-content are poled in an electric field of 60 MV/m at temperatures between 25°C and 120°C. At 25°C the alignment of dipoles takes place in a central poling zone during several hours of poling. When the temperature is increased to 120°C the poling time necessary to align the dipoles in this narrow zone is reduced to several seconds. In addition, at temperatures higher than 90°C and increased poling times the central poling zone first increases but later decreases in its dielectric displacement. Simultaneously in a 10 μm regime adjoining the positive electrode a secondary displacement zone starts to grow. The strong reduction of this peak under short circuit conditions indicates hetero-charge accumulation in front of an anode.

    Computer simulation of anchoring technique in reinforced concrete beams
    (1990) Cervenka, Vladimir; Pukl, Radomir; Eligehausen, Rolf
    The load transfer in reinforced concrete structures by means of anchoring elements is very common in modern concrete technology. Anchoring elements are often inserted in the bottom surface of a structure and the load is transfered by tensile action of the concrete. In case of shear failure, the anchores are located in the most exposed tensile zone of beams. The shear failure can be thus influenced by anchoring elements. This effect was analysed by means of the finite element program SBETA, which is based on the nonlinear-elastic constitutive model. The comparison with experiments for several loading configurations was made. In the second part a computer simulation of similar experiments was conducted.

    Computer simulation: splitting tests of concrete thick-walled rings
    (1992) Pukl, Radomir; Schlottke, Bernd; Ozbolt, Josko; Eligehausen, Rolf
    Two non-linear program systems are used for a computer simulation of splitting failure of thick-walled concrete rings under internal radial pressure. Results of the numerical analyses for plane stress models, axisymmetrical model and 3D model are compared with available experimental data and empirical formulas. It is shown, that the behavior observed in experiments can be simulated, using advanced material models, namely the non local microplane model and SBETA material model based on the crack hand theory. With increasing outer radius of the ring, a size effect can be observed.
