- ItemCreation of a Knowledge Space by Semantically Linking Data Repository and Knowledge Management System - a Use Case from Production Engineering(Laxenburg : IFAC, 2022) Sheveleva, Tatyana; Wawer, Max Leo; Oladazimi, Pooya; Koepler, Oliver; Nürnberger, Florian; Lachmayer, Roland; Auer, Sören; Mozgova, IrynaThe seamless documentation of research data flows from generation, processing, analysis, publication, and reuse is of utmost importance when dealing with large amounts of data. Semantic linking of process documentation and gathered data creates a knowledge space enabling the discovery of relations between steps of process chains. This paper shows the design of two systems for data deposit and for process documentation using semantic annotations and linking on a use case of a process chain step of the Tailored Forming Technology.
- ItemLongtime behavior for a generalized Cahn-Hilliard system with fractional operators(Messina : Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti, 2020) Colli, Pierluigi; Gilardi, Gianni; Sprekels, JürgenIn this contribution, we deal with the longtime behavior of the solutions to the fractional variant of the Cahn-Hilliard system, with possibly singular potentials, that we have recently investigated in the paper Well-posedness and regularity for a generalized fractional Cahn-Hilliard system. More precisely, we study the ω-limit of the phase parameter y and characterize it completely. Our characterization depends on the first eigenvalues λ1≥0 of one of the operators involved: if λ1>0, then the chemical potential μ vanishes at infinity and every element yω of the ω-limit is a stationary solution to the phase equation; if instead λ1=0, then every element yω of the ω-limit satisfies a problem containing a real function μ∞ related to the chemical potential μ. Such a function μ∞ is nonunique and time dependent, in general, as we show by an example. However, we give sufficient conditions for μ∞ to be uniquely determined and constant.

Ultimately, we are all united by the overarching goal of shaping digitalisation as part of a necessary socio-ecological change; one which contributes to a sustainable and just society.
- ItemDevelopment and Implementation of a Guideline for the Combination of Additively Manufactured Joint Assemblies with Wire Actuators made of Shape Memory Alloys(Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2023) Löffler, Robin; Tremmel, Stephan; Hornfeck, RüdigerSmart Materials actuators in the form of wires made of shape memory alloys in combination with additively manufactured carrier components are used in a wide variety of prototype developments of innovative joint assemblies. This combination is relevant because of the same manufacturing costs of the additively manufactured components, which are independent of the quantity of parts, the free geometric design possibilities as well as the huge energy density of the aforementioned actuator technology. In particular, the focus is on the possibility of appropriately fitting large wire lengths on a compact part volume while taking into account acceptable force losses. Since there is no design guideline for such joint developments, each is individual, which results in unnecessarily long development times and a higher risk of errors. Based on selected in-house and third-party examples, integration possibilities of shape memory alloy wire actuators in additively manufactured carrier components are analysed and transferred into a universally applicable design guideline. These recommendations are brought into the framework of existing design guidelines of the VDI (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure – Association of German Engineers), namely VDI 2206 and VDI 2221 with extensions for additive manufacturing, for a better usability and integrability into existing processes. Finally, this results in a simplified access to the topic of the combination of additive manufacturing and shape memory alloys and a more efficient realisation of such joint developments.
- ItemFrom statistic to deterministic nanostructures in fused silica induced by nanosecond laser radiation(Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2018) Lorenz, Pierre; Klöppel, Michael; Zagoranskiy, Igor; Zimmer, KlausThe production of structures by laser machining below the diffraction limit is still a challenge. However, self-organization processes can be useful. The laser-induced self-organized modification of the shape of photolithographic produced chromium structures on fused silica as well as the structuring of the fused silica surface by nanosecond UV laser radiation was studied, respectively. Low fluence single pulse laser irradiation (□ > 300 mJ/cm2) cause the formation from chromium squares to droplets due to the mass transport in the molten chromium film. This process is governed by the instability of the molten metal due to the surface tension driven liquid phase mass transport. For a chromium pattern size similar to the instability length two specific droplet distributions were found which are single droplets with a determined position near the centre of the original pattern or random distributed smaller droplets arranged circularly. Each of the metal patterns can be transferred into the fused silica by a multi-pulse irradiation. The experimental results can be simulated well for low fluences by sequential solving the heat and Navier-Stokes equation.
- ItemSelf-cleaning stainless steel surfaces induced by laser processing and chemical engineering(Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2022) Lorenz, Pierre; Zajadacz, Joachim; Marquardt, Franka; Ehrhardt, Martin; Hommes, Gregor; Peter, Sebastian; Zimmer, KlausNanostructured surfaces show a variety of beneficial macroscopic effects. The combination of hierarchic nanostructures with a suitable chemical surface composition allows for the fabrication of surfaces with interesting fluidic properties beyond such effects. This approach enables the specification of nano/microstructure and chemical composition independent of each other. Various hierarchical micro- and nanostructures can be realized by laser texturing of stainless steel surfaces with infrared picosecond laser. Simultaneously, the surface is activated for chemical processing. The surface can now be tuned by bonding of a self-assembled monolayer on the laser-treated surface by chemical treatment. This two-step functionalization process allows the for separated adjusting of the surface topography and chemical composition and thus for the well-defined setting of the surface properties. The fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces with self-cleaning properties are performed that can be functionalized further by subsequent laser-irradiation. Furthermore, the long-time stability of the surface functionalization in relation to the impact chemicals or radiation was investigated.
- ItemWet-chemical Passivation of Anisotropic Plasmonic Nanoparticles for LSPR-sensing by a Silica Shell(Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2015) Thiele, Matthias; Götz, Isabell; Trautmann, Steffen; Müller, Robert; Csáki, Andrea; Henkel, Thomas; Fritzsche, WolfgangMetal nanoparticles showing the effect of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), a collective oscillation of the conduction electrons upon interaction with light, represent an interesting tool for bioanalytics. This resonance is influenced by changes in the environment, and can be therefore used for the detection of molecular layers. The sensitivity, this means the extent of wavelength resonance shift per change in refractive index in the environment, represents an important performance parameter. It is higher for silver compared to gold particles, and is also increased for anisotropic particles. So silver triangles show a high potential for highly sensitive plasmonic nanoparticles. However, the stability under ambient conditions is rather poor. The paper demonstrates the passivation of silver triangles by silica coating using a wet-chemical approach. It compares the sensitivity for particles with and without passivation, and visualizes the passivation effect in a high resolution, single particle TEM study.
- ItemProcess Monitoring of a Vibration Dampening CFRP Drill Tube in BTA deep hole drilling using Fibre-Bragg-Grating Sensors(Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2022) Summa, Jannik; Michel, Sebastian; Kurkowski, Moritz; Biermann, Dirk; Stommel, Markus; Herrmann, Hans-GeorgThe large tool length in BTA deep hole drilling often leads to strong torsional vibrations of the tool system, leading to a reduced bore hole quality failures. When substituting steel drill tubes with tubes from composite material, the laminate structure dampens these vibrations. Secondly, the integration of sensors allow to monitor process vibrations. This contribution introduces a new sensor platform to measure process vibrations, feed force and drilling torque using Fibre-Bragg Grating Sensors. The presented experimental results focus on characteristic frequency spectra with natural torsional and compression frequencies of the CFRP drill tube, which show variations due to changed feed.
- ItemSecondary electron yield engineering of copper surfaces by 532 nm ultrashort laser pulses(Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2022) Lorenz, Pierre; Bez, Elena; Himmerlich, Marcel; Ehrhardt, Martin; Taborelli, Mauro; Zimmer, KlausNanostructured surfaces exhibit outstanding properties and enable manifold industrial applications. In this study the laser surface processing of polycrystalline, flat copper surfaces by 532 nm picosecond laser irradiation for secondary electron yield (SEY) reduction is reported. The laser beam was scanned in parallel lines across the sample surface in order to modify large surface areas. Morphology and SEY are characterized in dependence of the process parameters to derive correlations and mechanisms of the laser-based SEY engineering process. The nano- and microstructure morphology of the laser-modified surface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and the secondary electron yield was measured. In general, an SEY reduction with increasing accumulated laser fluence was found. In particular, at low scanning speed (1 mm/s - 10 mm/s) and “high” laser power (~ 1 W) compact nanostructures with a very low SEY maximum of 0.7 are formed.
- ItemIn-situ investigations of structural changes during cyclic loading by high resolution reciprocal space mapping(Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2017) Diederichs, Annika M.; Thiel, Felix; Lienert, Ulrich; Pantleon, WolfgangA major failure reason for structural materials is fatigue-related damage due to repeatedly changing mechanical loads. During cyclic loading dislocations self-organize into characteristic ordered structures, which play a decisive role for the materials lifetime. These heterogeneous dislocation structures can be identified using advanced electron microscopy and synchrotron techniques. A detailed characterization of the microstructure during cyclic loading by in-situ monitoring the internal structure within individual grains with high energy x-rays can help to understand and predict the materials behavior during cyclic deformation and to improve the material design. While monitoring macroscopic stress and strain during cyclic loading, reciprocal space maps of diffraction peaks from single grains are obtained with high resolution. High Resolution Reciprocal Space Mapping was applied successfully in-situ during cyclic deformation of macroscopic aluminium samples at the Advanced Photon Source to reveal the structural reorganization within single grains embedded in the bulk material during fatigue.
