After a short introduction to the understanding of focussing of stress waves in a plate with a curved boundary the method of characteristics is applied to a plate of hyperelastic material. Using this method the propagation of acceleration waves is discussed. Based on this a numerical difference scheme is developed for solving initial-boundary-value problems and applied to two examples: propagation of a point disturbance in a homogeneously finitely strained non-linear elastic plate and geometrical focussing in al linear elastic plate.}, subject = {Technische Mechanik}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SpannhakeSchulzHelwigetal.2006, author = {Spannhake, Jan and Schulz, Olaf and Helwig, Andreas and Krenkow, Angelika and M{\"u}ller, Gerhard and Doll, Theodor}, title = {High-temperature MEMS heater platforms: long-term performance of metal and semiconductor heater materials}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:a96-opus-1513}, year = {2006}, abstract = {Micromachined thermal heater platforms offer low electrical power consumption and high modulation speed, i.e. properties which are advantageous for realizing nondispersive infrared (NDIR) gas- and liquid monitoring systems.

Our results clearly reveal the superior high-temperature performance of semiconductor over metallic heater materials. Long-term stable emitter operation in the vicinity of 1300 K could be attained using heavily antimony-doped tin dioxide (SnO2:Sb) heater elements.}, subject = {Biosensor}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Hecker2007, author = {Hecker, Dirk}, title = {Hochwasservorsorge f{\"u}r Abwasseranlagen (DWA-M103) und {\"o}ffentliche Einrichtungen}, year = {2007}, abstract = {Dipl.-Ing. Dirk Hecker von der Ingenieurgesellschaft Tuttahs \& Meyer in Aachen. Vortrag gehalten beim 1. Aachener Softwaretag in der Wasserwirtschaft <1, 2007, Aachen> 27 S. (S. 28-54) Zusammenfassung [des Autors]: Nach den spektakul{\"a}ren Hochwasserereignissen an Rhein, Elbe und Donau hat die Deutsche Vereinigung f{\"u}r Wasserwirtschaft, Abwasser und Abfall e. V. (DWA) einen Fachausschuss zur Erstellung eines Merkblattes M 103 „Hochwasserschutz f{\"u}r Abwasseranlagen" berufen. Das Merkblatt zeigt in den Kapiteln Konzeption, Planungsgrunds{\"a}tze und Hochwassermanagement eine strukturierte Vorgehensweise zur bestm{\"o}glichen Vorsorge zum Schutz der Abwasseranlagen im Hochwasserfall. Entsprechend den Forderungen des im Jahr 2005 verabschiedeten Gesetzes zur Verbesserung des vorbeugenden Hochwasserschutzes, floss in das Wasserhaushaltsgesetz unter anderem die allgemeine Verpflichtung jedes potentiell vom Hochwasser Betroffenen ein, geeignete Schutzmaßnahmen zur Schadensminimierung zu treffen. Hierbei werden speziell die Wasserversorgung und die Abwasserbeseitigung erw{\"a}hnt. Im DWA-M 103 wir detailliert dargestellt wie und mit welchem Aufwand die Abwasseranlagen zu {\"u}berpr{\"u}fen sind und wie hierzu ein Hochwasserschutzkonzept erstellt werden kann. Zus{\"a}tzlich werden Hinweise f{\"u}r die Planung von Abwasseranlagen in hochwassergef{\"a}hrdeten Bereichen gegeben, die den st{\"o}rungsfreien Betrieb im Hochwasserfall gew{\"a}hrleisten sollen. Schlussendlich werden das Hochwassermanagement und der Betrieb dargestellt und hier wichtige Anregungen gegeben im Ernstfall ausreichend vorbereitet zu sein. Das DWA-M 103 richtet sich in erster Linie an die Betreiber und Planer von Abwasseranlagen. Jedoch werden hier auch, gerade durch die Vielzahl von Checklisten, Kommunen Denkanst{\"o}ße und Anregungen f{\"u}r die Hochwasservorsorge/-schutz von {\"o}ffentlichen Geb{\"a}uden und Einrichtungen gegeben.}, subject = {Hochwasserschutz}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{FrotscherStaat2015, author = {Frotscher, Ralf and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Homogenization of a cardiac tissue construct}, series = {CMBE15 : 4th International Conference on Computational \& Mathematical Biomedical Engineering ; 29th June - 1st July 2015 ; {\´E}cole Normale Sup{\´e}rieure de Cachan ; Cachan (Paris), France}, booktitle = {CMBE15 : 4th International Conference on Computational \& Mathematical Biomedical Engineering ; 29th June - 1st July 2015 ; {\´E}cole Normale Sup{\´e}rieure de Cachan ; Cachan (Paris), France}, editor = {Nithiarasu, Perumal}, publisher = {CMBE}, address = {[s.l.]}, issn = {2227-9385}, pages = {645 -- 648}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @misc{Samm2003, author = {Samm, Doris}, title = {Horizontal schwingende Feder (Simulation in Java)}, year = {2003}, abstract = {Die Anwender k{\"o}nnen die Federkonstante, die Amplitude und die Masse einstellen.

The costs of cross-cultural failure, for individuals and their companies, are enormous: personal and family costs; financial, professional and emotional costs; costs to one's career prospects, to one's self-esteem, to one's marriage and family.

Although this infiltration procedure has been widely applied, it is performed empirically and little is known about the flow characteristics of cement during the injection process. We present a theoretical and experimental approach to investigate the intertrabecular bone permeability during the infiltration procedure. The cement permeability was considered to be dependent on time, bone porosity, and cement viscosity in our analysis. In order to determine the time-dependent permeability, ten cancellous bone cores were harvested from osteoporotic vertebrae, infiltrated with acrylic cement at a constant flow rate, and the pressure drop across the cores during the infiltration was measured. The viscosity dependence of the permeability was determined based on published experimental data. The theoretical model for the permeability as a function of bone porosity and time was then fit to the testing data. Our findings suggest that the intertrabecular bone permeability depends strongly on time. For instance, the initial permeability (60.89 mm4/N.s) reduced to approximately 63\% of its original value within 18 seconds. This study is the first to analyze cement flow through osteoporotic bone. The theoretical and experimental models provided in this paper are generic. Thus, they can be used to systematically study and optimize the infiltration process for clinical practice.}, subject = {Osteoporose}, language = {en} } @article{EggertKling2023, author = {Eggert, Mathias and Kling, Rene}, title = {How to distribute charging requests of electronic vehicles?

In particular in urban areas, where parking spaces in attractive areas are famous, opportunities to setup new charging stations is very limited. This leads to an overload of some very attractive charging stations and an underutilization of less attractive ones. Against this background, the paper at hand presents the design of an e-vehicle reservation system that aims at distributing the utilization of the charging infrastructure, particularly in urban areas. By applying a design science approach, the requirements for a reservation-based utilization approach are elicited and a model for a suitable distribution approach and its instantiation are developed. The artefact is evaluated by simulating the distribution effects based on data of real charging station utilizations.}, language = {en} } @masterthesis{Keller2021, type = {Bachelor Thesis}, author = {Keller, Valeria}, title = {HUMAN(E): Ein Projekt zur Humanisierung der Arbeitswelt}, publisher = {FH Aachen}, address = {Aachen}, school = {Fachhochschule Aachen}, pages = {49 Seiten}, year = {2021}, abstract = {"HUMAN(E) at work" ist ein Projekt, welches auf Basis eigener Erfahrung entstanden ist.
