The interdisciplinary approach is shown using the complex example of an automated, large scale, industrial environment: a typical automotive wind tunnel application. Both the high degree of flexibility in choosing the measurement region and the complete automation of stereo PIV measurements are presented. The setup consists of a combination of three robots, individually used as a 6D traversing unit for the laser illumination system as well as for each of the two cameras. Synchronised movements in the same reference frame are realised through a master-slave setup with a single interface to the user. By integrating the interface into the standard wind tunnel management system, a single measurement plane or a predefined sequence of several planes can be requested through a single trigger event, providing the resulting vector fields within minutes. In this paper, a brief overview on the demands of large scale industrial PIV and the existing solutions is given. Afterwards, the concept of RoboPIV is introduced as a new approach. In a first step, the usability of a selection of commercially available robot arms is analysed. The challenges of pose uncertainty and importance of absolute accuracy are demonstrated through comparative measurements, explaining the individual pros and cons of the analysed systems. Subsequently, the advantage of integrating RoboPIV directly into the existing wind tunnel management system is shown on basis of a typical measurement sequence. In a final step, a practical measurement procedure, including post-processing, is given by using real data and results. Ultimately, the benefits of high automation are demonstrated, leading to a drastic reduction in necessary measurement time compared to non-automated systems, thus massively increasing the efficiency of PIV measurements.}, language = {en} } @article{RittwegerAlbrachtFluecketal.2018, author = {Rittweger, J{\"o}rn and Albracht, Kirsten and Fl{\"u}ck, Martin and Ruoss, Severin and Brocca, Lorenza and Longa, Emanuela and Moriggi, Manuela and Seynnes, Olivier and Di Giulio, Irene and Tenori, Leonardo and Vignoli, Alessia and Capri, Miriam and Gelfi, Cecilia and Luchinat, Claudio and Franceschi, Claudio and Bottinelli, Roberto and Cerretelli, Paolo and Narici, Marco}, title = {Sarcolab pilot study into skeletal muscle's adaptation to longterm spaceflight}, series = {npj Microgravity}, volume = {4}, journal = {npj Microgravity}, number = {1}, publisher = {Nature Portfolio}, issn = {2373-8065}, doi = {10.1038/s41526-018-0052-1}, pages = {1 -- 9}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @article{BabilonWilbringTappertetal.2018, author = {Babilon, Katharina and Wilbring, Daniela and Tappert, Tim and Pfaff, Raphael and Enning, Manfred}, title = {Schienenfahrzeugtechnik hands on - FH Aachen IMechE Railway Challenge}, series = {Ingenieurspiegel}, journal = {Ingenieurspiegel}, number = {2}, publisher = {Public Verlag}, address = {Bingen}, issn = {1868-5919}, pages = {20 -- 22}, year = {2018}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{HansenLaack2018, author = {Hansen, Frank and Laack, Walter van}, title = {Schnittstelle Tod: Sind Religionen religi{\"o}s und Wissenschaften wissend?}, publisher = {van Laack GmbH}, address = {Aachen}, isbn = {978-3-936624-36-6}, pages = {172 S.}, year = {2018}, language = {de} } @incollection{Klocke2018, author = {Klocke, Martina}, title = {Schulter an Schulter - Zusammenarbeit in einem differenzierten Hochschulsystem}, series = {Lehre und Lehrentwicklung an Fachhochschulen - Festschrift f{\"u}r Prof. Dr. med.

The present paper shows special issues of the seismic wave impacts on buried pipelines, describes calculation methods, proposes approaches and gives calculation examples. This paper regards the effects of transient displacement differences and resulting tensions within the pipeline due to the wave propagation of the earthquake. However, the presented model can also be used to calculate fault rupture induced displacements. Based on a three-dimensional Finite Element Model parameter studies are performed to show the influence of several parameters such as incoming wave angle, wave velocity, backfill height and synthetic displacement time histories. The interaction between the pipeline and the surrounding soil is modeled with non-linear soil springs and the propagating wave is simulated affecting the pipeline punctually, independently in time and space. Special attention is given to long-distance heat pipeline systems. Here, in regular distances expansion bends are arranged to ensure movements of the pipeline due to high temperature. Such expansion bends are usually designed with small bending radii, which during the earthquake lead to high bending stresses in the cross-section of the pipeline. Finally, an interpretation of the results and recommendations are given for the most critical parameters.}, language = {en} } @techreport{FischedickSchoofHebeletal.2018, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Fischedick, Manfred and Schoof, Ren{\´e} and Hebel, Christoph and Merkens, Torsten}, title = {Sektorenkopplung als Herausforderung und Chance f{\"u}r das Energieland NRW : Handlungsoptionen und Ergebnispapier der Expertengruppe AG 4 „Sektoren- kopplung" im Netzwerk Netze und Speicher der EnergieAgentur.NRW im Auftrag des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen / EnergieAgentur.NRW GmbH}, pages = {68 Seiten}, year = {2018}, language = {de} }
