To assess their quality, the collapse of a tunnel face was modelled with small-scale model tests at single gravity. The development of the failure mechanism and the support force at the face in dry sand were investigated. The observed displacement patterns show a negligible influence of overburden on the extent and evolution of the failure zone. The latter is significantly influenced, though, by the initial density of the sand: in dense sand a chimney-wedge-type collapse mechanism developed, which propagated towards the soil surface. Initially, loose sand did not show any discrete collapse mechanism. The necessary support force was neither influenced by the overburden nor the initial density. A comparison with quantitative predictions by several theoretical models showed that the measured necessary support pressure is overestimated by most of the models. Those by Vermeer/Ruse and L{\´e}ca/Dormieux showed the best agreement to the measurements.}, language = {en} } @article{FellinKingKirschetal.2010, author = {Fellin, Wolfgang and King, Julian and Kirsch, Ansgar and Oberguggenberger, Michael}, title = {Uncertainty modelling and sensitivity analysis of tunnel face stability}, series = {Structural safety}, volume = {32}, journal = {Structural safety}, number = {6}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0167-4730}, doi = {10.1016/j.strusafe.2010.06.001}, pages = {402 -- 410}, year = {2010}, abstract = {This paper proposes an approach to the choice and evaluation of engineering models with the aid of a typical application in geotechnics. An important issue in the construction of shallow tunnels, especially in weak ground conditions, is the tunnel face stability. Various theoretical and numerical models for predicting the necessary support pressure have been put forth in the literature. In this paper, we combine laboratory experiments performed at the University of Innsbruck with current methods of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis for assessing adequacy, predictive power and robustness of the models. The major issues are the handling of the twofold uncertainty of test results and of model predictions as well as the decision about what are the influential input parameters.}, language = {en} } @incollection{SeiblerSchwenk2010, author = {Seibler, Jost and Schwenk, Frieder}, title = {Transgenic RNAi Applications in the Mouse}, series = {Methods in Enzymology : Guide to Techniques in Mouse Development, Part B: Mouse Molecular Genetics. 2nd Edition}, booktitle = {Methods in Enzymology : Guide to Techniques in Mouse Development, Part B: Mouse Molecular Genetics. 2nd Edition}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, isbn = {978-0-12-384880-2}, pages = {367 -- 386}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchuermannLeidingerWollert2010, author = {Sch{\"u}rmann, Volker and Leidinger, R. and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Simplified rapid-prototyping with automation technology}, series = {Automobiles and sustainable mobility : FISITA 2010 World Automotive Congress, 30 May - 4 June, Budapest, Hungary ; proceedings}, booktitle = {Automobiles and sustainable mobility : FISITA 2010 World Automotive Congress, 30 May - 4 June, Budapest, Hungary ; proceedings}, organization = {FISITA 2010 World Automotive Congress }, isbn = {978-963-9058-29-3}, pages = {F2010C093}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @incollection{SchuermannBudaJonkeretal.2010, author = {Sch{\"u}rmann, Volker and Buda, Aurel and Jonker, Stefan and Palmhof, Norman and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Wireless in future automotive applications}, series = {Mobile and wireless communications network layer and circuit level design / ed. by Salma Ait Fares ...}, booktitle = {Mobile and wireless communications network layer and circuit level design / ed. by Salma Ait Fares ...}, publisher = {Intech}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-953-307-042-1}, pages = {71 -- 92}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @incollection{BudaSchuermannWollert2010, author = {Buda, Aurel and Sch{\"u}rmann, Volker and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Wireless technologies in factory automation}, series = {Factory automation / ed. by Javier Silvestre-Blanes}, booktitle = {Factory automation / ed. by Javier Silvestre-Blanes}, publisher = {Intech}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-953-7619-42-8}, pages = {29 -- 50}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BegingPoghossianMlyneketal.2010, author = {Beging, Stefan and Poghossian, Arshak and Mlynek, D. and Hataihimakul, S. and Pedraza, A. and Dhawan, S. and Laube, N. and Kleinen, L. and Baldsiefen, G. and Busch, H. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Ion-selective sensors for the determination of the risk of urinary stone formation}, series = {Micro- and Nanosystems in biochemical diagnosis : Principles and applications}, booktitle = {Micro- and Nanosystems in biochemical diagnosis : Principles and applications}, address = {Warsaw}, pages = {74 -- 80}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MagnorSoltauBragardetal.2010, author = {Magnor, D. and Soltau, N. and Bragard, Michael and Schmiegel, A. and De Doncker, R.
