Malfunctioning areas generate electric cross currents inside bipolar plates. To exploit this we suggest bipolar plates consisting not of two but of three layers. The third one is a highly conducting layer and segmented such that the cross currents move along the segments to the surface of the stack where they can be measured by an inductive sensor. With this information a realistic model can be used to detect the malfunctioning area. Furthermore the third layer will prevent any current inhomogeneity of a malfunctioning cell to spread to neighbouring cells in the stack. In this work the results of measurements in a realistic cell setup will be compared with the results obtained in simulation studies with the same configuration. The basis for the comparison is the reliable characterisation of the electrical properties of the cell components and the implication of these results into the simulation model. The experimental studies will also show the limits in the maximum number of segments, which can be used for a reliable detection of cross currents.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchreiberBarkschatKraft2014, author = {Schreiber, Marc and Barkschat, Kai and Kraft, Bodo}, title = {Using Continuous Integration to organize and monitor the annotation process of domain specific corpora}, series = {5th International Conference on Information and Communication Systems (ICICS) : 1-3 April 2014, Irbid, Jordanien}, booktitle = {5th International Conference on Information and Communication Systems (ICICS) : 1-3 April 2014, Irbid, Jordanien}, organization = {International Conference on Information and Communication Systems <5, 2014, Irbid, Jordanien>}, isbn = {978-1-4799-3022-7}, doi = {10.1109/IACS.2014.6841958}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TranStaat2014, author = {Tran, Thanh Ngoc and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Uncertain multimode failure and limit analysis of shells}, series = {11th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XI) ; 5th European Conference on Computational Mechanics (ECCM V) ; 6th European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics (ECFD VI) ; July 20-25, 2014, Barcelona}, booktitle = {11th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XI) ; 5th European Conference on Computational Mechanics (ECCM V) ; 6th European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics (ECFD VI) ; July 20-25, 2014, Barcelona}, editor = {Onate, E.}, organization = {World Congress on Computational Mechanics <11, 2014, Barcelona>}, pages = {1 -- 12}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @article{Laack2014, author = {Laack, Walter van}, title = {Therefore Fermat is right}, series = {American journal of humanities and social sciences : AJHSS}, volume = {2}, journal = {American journal of humanities and social sciences : AJHSS}, number = {2}, issn = {2329-079X (E-Journal); 2329-0781 (Print)}, pages = {117 -- 120}, year = {2014}, abstract = {It was Fernat's idea to investigate how many numbers would fulfill the equation according to the Pythagorean Theorem if the exponent were increased to random, e.g. to a3 + b3 = c3. His question became therefore: are there two whole numbers the cubes of which add up to the volume of the cube of a third whole number? He posed this same question, of course, for all kinds of higher exponents, so that the equation could be generalized: is there an integral solution for the equation an + bn = cn, if the exponent n is higher than 2? Although in 1993, the English mathematician Andrew Wiles was able to produce an arithmetical proof for Fermat's famous theorem, I will show that there is a simple logical explanation which is also pragmatic and plausible and what is the result of a fundamental alternative idea how our world seems to be constructed.}, language = {en} } @article{FrotscherStaat2014, author = {Frotscher, Ralf and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Stresses produced by different textile mesh implants in a tissue equivalent}, series = {BioNanoMaterials}, volume = {15}, journal = {BioNanoMaterials}, number = {1-2}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {2191-4672 (E-Journal); 2193-066X (E-Journal); 0011-8656 (Print); 1616-0177 (Print); 2193-0651 (Print)}, doi = {10.1515/bnm-2014-0003}, pages = {25 -- 30}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Two single-incision mini-slings used for treating urinary incontinence in women are compared with respect to the stresses they produce in their surrounding tissue. In an earlier paper we experimentally observed that these implants produce considerably different stress distributions in a muscle tissue equivalent. Here we perform 2D finite element analyses to compare the shear stresses and normal stresses in the tissue equivalent for the two meshes and to investigate their failure behavior. The results clearly show that the Gynecare TVT fails for increasing loads in a zipper-like manner because it gradually debonds from the surrounding tissue. Contrary to that, the tissue at the ends of the DynaMesh-SIS direct may rupture but only at higher loads. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental observations thus the computational model helps to interpret the experimental results and provides a tool for qualitative evaluation of mesh implants.}, language = {en} } @incollection{TranStaat2014, author = {Tran, Thanh Ngoc and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Shakedown analysis of Reissner-Mindlin plates using the edge-based smoothed finite element method}, series = {Direct methods for limit states in structures and materials / Dieter Weichert ; Alan Ponter, ed.}, booktitle = {Direct methods for limit states in structures and materials / Dieter Weichert ; Alan Ponter, ed.}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Dordrecht [u.a.]}, isbn = {978-94-007-6826-0 (Print) 978-94-007-6827-7 (Online)}, doi = {10.1007/978-94-007-6827-7_5}, pages = {101 -- 117}, year = {2014}, abstract = {This paper concerns the development of a primal-dual algorithm for limit and shakedown analysis of Reissner-Mindlin plates made of von Mises material. At each optimization iteration, the lower bound of the shakedown load multiplier is calculated simultaneously with the upper bound using the duality theory. An edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES-FEM) combined with the discrete shear gap (DSG) technique is used to improve the accuracy of the solutions and to avoid the transverse shear locking behaviour. The method not only possesses all inherent features of convergence and accuracy from ES-FEM, but also ensures that the total number of variables in the optimization problem is kept to a minimum compared with the standard finite element formulation. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present method.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BaeckerSchusserLeinhosetal.2014, author = {B{\"a}cker, Matthias and Schusser, Sebastian and Leinhos, Marcel and Poghossian, Arshak and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Sensor system for the monitoring of degradation processes of biodegradable biopolymers}, series = {Sensoren und Messsysteme 2014 ; Beitr{\"a}ge der 17.
