These tools consist of three parts: (a) for elaborating specific conceptual knowledge (knowledge engineer), (b) for working out conceptual design results (architect), and (c) automatic consistency analyses which guarantee that design results are consistent with the underlying specific conceptual knowledge. For the realization of such tools we use a machinery based on graph transformations. In a traditional PROGRES tool specification the conceptual knowledge for a class of buildings is hard-wired within the specification. This is not appropriate for the experimentation platform approach we present in this paper, as objects and relations for conceptual knowledge are due to many changes, implied by evaluation of their use and corresponding improvements. Therefore, we introduce a parametric specification method with the following characteristics: (1) The underlying specific knowledge for a class of buildings is not fixed. Instead, it is built up as a data base by using the knowledge tools. (2) The specification for the architect tools also does not incorporate specific conceptual knowledge. (3) An incremental checker guarantees whether a design result is consistent with the current state of the underlying conceptual knowledge (data base).}, subject = {CAD}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{KraftNagl2003, author = {Kraft, Bodo and Nagl, Manfred}, title = {Semantic tool support for conceptual design}, year = {2003}, abstract = {ITCE-2003 - 4th Joint Symposium on Information Technology in Civil Engineering ed Flood, I., Seite 1-12, ASCE (CD-ROM), Nashville, USA In this paper we discussed graph based tools to support architects during the conceptual design phase.

The tool for the knowledge engineer is based on graph technology, it is specified using PROGRES and the UPGRADE framework.

The knowledge is specific to one class of buildings and can be reused. Based on a dynamic knowledge model, different types of design rules formalize the knowledge in a graph-based realization.

Das Projekt ist in zwei Teile gegliedert. Im Top-Down-Ansatz werden Datenstrukturen und Methoden zur Strukturierung, Repr{\"a}sentation und Evaluation von geb{\"a}udespezifischem Fachwissen erarbeitet. Dieser Teil baut auf den graphbasierten Werkzeugen PROGRES und UPGRADE des Lehrstuhls auf. Der Bottom-Up-Ansatz ist industriell orientiert und hat zum Ziel, das kommerzielle CAD-System ArchiCAD zu erweitern. Hierbei soll der fr{\"u}he, konzeptuelle Geb{\"a}ude-Entwurf in einem CAD-System erm{\"o}glicht werden. Der Entwurf kann dar{\"u}ber hinaus gegen das definierte Fachwissen gepr{\"u}ft werden. Im Rahmen des graphbasierten Top-Down-Ansatzes wurde zun{\"a}chst eine neue Spezifikationsmethode f{\"u}r die Sprache PROGRES entwickelt. Das PROGRES-System erlaubt die Spezifikation von Werkzeugen in deklarativer Form. {\"U}blicherweise wird dom{\"a}nenspezifisches Fachwissen in der PROGRES-Spezifikation codiert, das daraus generierte visuelle Werkzeug stellt dann die entsprechende Funktionalit{\"a}t zur Verf{\"u}gung. Mit dieser Methode sind am Lehrstuhl f{\"u}r Informatik III Werkzeuge f{\"u}r verschie-dene Anwendungsdom{\"a}nen entstanden. In unserem Fall versetzen wir einen Dom{\"a}nen-Experten, z. B. einen erfahrenen Architekten, in die Lage, Fachwissen zur Laufzeit einzugeben, dieses zu evaluieren, abzu{\"a}ndern oder zu erg{\"a}nzen. Im Rahmen der bisherigen Arbeit wurde dazu eine parametrisierte PROGRES-Spezifikation und zwei darauf aufbauende Werkzeuge entwickelt, welche die dynamische Eingabe von geb{\"a}ude-technisch relevantem Fachwissen erlauben und einen graphbasierten, konzeptuellen Geb{\"a}ude-Entwurf erm{\"o}glichen. In diesem konzeptuellen Geb{\"a}ude-Entwurf wird von Raumgr{\"o}ßen und Positionen abstrahiert, um die funktionale Struktur eines Geb{\"a}udes zu beschreiben. Das Fachwissen kann von einem Architekten visuell definiert werden. Es k{\"o}nnen semantische Einheiten, im einfachsten Fall R{\"a}ume, nach verschiedenen Kriterien kategorisiert und klassifiziert werden. Mit Hilfe von Attributen und Relationen k{\"o}nnen die semantischen Einheiten pr{\"a}ziser beschrieben und in Beziehung zueinander gesetzt werden. Die in PROGRES spezifizierten Konsistenz-Analysen erlauben die Pr{\"u}fung eines graphbasierten konzeptuellen Geb{\"a}ude-Entwurfs gegen das dynamisch eingef{\"u}gte Fachwissen. Im zweiten Teil des Forschungsprojekts, dem Bottom-Up-Ansatz, wird das CAD-System ArchiCAD erweitert, um den integrierten konzeptuellen Geb{\"a}ude-Entwurf zu erm{\"o}glichen. Der Architekt erh{\"a}lt dazu neue Entwurfselemente, die Raumobjekte, welche die relevanten semantischen Einheiten w{\"a}hrend der fr{\"u}hen Entwurfsphase repr{\"a}sentieren. Mit Hilfe der Raumobjekte kann der Architekt in ArchiCAD den Grundriss und das Raumprogramm eines Geb{\"a}udes entwerfen, ohne von konstruktiven Details in seiner Kreativit{\"a}t eingeschr{\"a}nkt zu werden. Die Arbeitsweise mit Raumobjekten entspricht dem informellen konzeptuellen Entwurf auf einer Papierskizze und ist daher f{\"u}r den Architekten intuitiv und einfach zu verwenden.

However, these alterations in locomotion biomechanics do not necessarily scale to the gravity level, the reduction in gastrocnemius medialis activation even appears to level off around 0.2 g, while muscle activation pattern remains similar. Thus, it is difficult to predict whether gastrocnemius medialis contractile behavior during running on Moon will basically be the same as on Mars. Therefore, this study investigated lower limb joint kinematics and gastrocnemius medialis behavior during running at 1 g, simulated Martian gravity, and simulated Lunar gravity on the vertical treadmill facility.

Its solution with Finite Element Analysis is demonstrated for mechanical and thermal actions. One observation from the examples is that the so-called 3f (3Sm) criterion fails to be a reliable check against progressive plastic deformation. Precise conditions are given, which greatly restrict the applicability of the 3f criterion.}, subject = {Einspielen }, language = {en} } @article{Staat2003, author = {Staat, Manfred}, title = {Shakedown and ratchetting under tension-torsion loadings: analysis and experiments}, year = {2003}, abstract = {Structural design analyses are conducted with the aim of verifying the exclusion of ratchetting. To this end it is important to make a clear distinction between the shakedown range and the ratchetting range. The performed experiment comprised a hollow tension specimen which was subjected to alternating axial forces, superimposed with constant moments. First, a series of uniaxial tests has been carried out in order to calibrate a bounded kinematic hardening rule. The load parameters have been selected on the basis of previous shakedown analyses with the PERMAS code using a kinematic hardening material model. It is shown that this shakedown analysis gives reasonable agreement between the experimental and the numerical results. A linear and a nonlinear kinematic hardening model of two-surface plasticity are compared in material shakedown analysis.}, subject = {Einspielen }, language = {en} } @article{Staat2000, author = {Staat, Manfred}, title = {Basis Reduction for the Shakedown Problem for Bounded Kinematic Hardening Material}, year = {2000}, abstract = {Limit and shakedown analysis are effective methods for assessing the load carrying capacity of a given structure. The elasto-plastic behavior of the structure subjected to loads varying in a given load domain is characterized by the shakedown load factor, defined as the maximum factor which satisfies the sufficient conditions stated in the corresponding static shakedown theorem. The finite element dicretization of the problem may lead to very large convex optimization. For the effective solution a basis reduction method has been developed that makes use of the special problem structure for perfectly plastic material. The paper proposes a modified basis reduction method for direct application to the two-surface plasticity model of bounded kinematic hardening material. The considered numerical examples show an enlargement of the load carrying capacity due to bounded hardening.}, subject = {Finite-Elemente-Methode}, language = {en} }
