@inproceedings{KernDikta2009, author = {Kern, Alexander and Dikta, Gerhard}, title = {Probability of damage of electrical and electronic systems due to indirect lightning flashes - investigation of data from German insurance companies}, year = {2009}, abstract = {In the presented paper data collected from the field related to damage statistics of electrical and electronic apparatus in household are reported and investigated. These damages (total number approx. 74000 cases), registered by five German insurance companies in 2005 and 2006, were adviced by customers as caused by lightning overvoltages. With the use of stochastical methods it is possible, to reasses the collected data and to distinguish between cases, which are with high probability caused by lightning overvoltages, and those, which are not. If there was an indication for a direct strike, this case was excluded, so the focus was only on indirect lightning flashes, i.e. only flashes to ground near the structure and flashes to or nearby an incoming service line were investigated. The data from the field contain the location of damaged apparatus (residence of the policy holder) and the distances of the nearest cloud-to-ground stroke to the location of the damage registered by the German lightning location network BLIDS at the date of damage. The statistical data along with some complementary numerical simulations allow to verify the correspondence of the Standards rules used for IEC 62305-2 with the field data and to define some correction needs. The results could lead to a better understanding whether a damage reported to an insurance company is really caused by indirect lightning, or not.}, subject = {Blitzschutz}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WagnerSchoening2006, author = {Wagner, Torsten and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Preface of the Special Issue of I3S 2005 in J{\"u}lich (Germany)}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:a96-opus-1365}, year = {2006}, abstract = {International Symposium on Sensor Science, I3S 2005 <3; 2005; Juelich, Germany> In: Sensors 2006, 6, 260-261 ISSN 1424-8220}, subject = {Biosensor}, language = {en} } @article{Staat2004, author = {Staat, Manfred}, title = {Plastic collapse analysis of longitudinally flawed pipes and vessels}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Improved collapse loads of thick-walled, crack containing pipes and vessels are suggested.

Then, the absorption spectrum of the reaction product, NADH, was monitored (maximum peak at 340 nm). The results obtained by the spectrophotometric method were compared with the results obtained by the colourimetry, using pH indicators.

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{JungStaatMueller2014, author = {Jung, Alexander and Staat, Manfred and M{\"u}ller, Wolfram}, title = {Optimization of the flight style in ski jumping}, 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 = {799 -- 810}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KraftRetkowitz2005, author = {Kraft, Bodo and Retkowitz, Daniel}, title = {Operationale Semantikdefinition f{\"u}r konzeptuelles Regelwissen}, year = {2005}, abstract = {In: Forum Bauinformatik 2005 : junge Wissenschaftler forschen / [Lehrstuhl Bauinformatik, Brandenburgische Technische Universit{\"a}t Cottbus.
