Reprint with corrections in red Introduction Analysis of advanced structures working under extreme heavy loading such as nuclear power plants and piping system should take into account the randomness of loading, geometrical and material parameters. The existing reliability are restricted mostly to the elastic working regime, e.g. allowable local stresses. Development of the limit and shakedown reliability-based analysis and design methods, exploiting potential of the shakedown working regime, is highly needed. In this paper the application of a new algorithm of probabilistic limit and shakedown analysis for shell structures is presented, in which the loading and strength of the material as well as the thickness of the shell are considered as random variables. The reliability analysis problems may be efficiently solved by using a system combining the available FE codes, a deterministic limit and shakedown analysis, and the First and Second Order Reliability Methods (FORM/SORM). Non-linear sensitivity analyses are obtained directly from the solution of the deterministic problem without extra computational costs.}, subject = {Finite-Elemente-Methode}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StadlerEmbsZerlinetal.2007, author = {Stadler, Andreas M. and Embs, Jan P. and Zerlin, Kay and Digel, Ilya and Artmann, Gerhard and Zaccai, Joe and B{\"u}ldt, Georg}, title = {Temperature transitions of hemoglobin and cytosolic water diffusion in human red blood cells : [poster]}, year = {2007}, abstract = {Background Hemoglobin interactions in red blood cells Hemoglobin dynamics in human red blood cells Diffusion of H2O in red blood cells}, subject = {Erythrozyt}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TranStaatStavroulakis2014, author = {Tran, Ngoc Trinh and Staat, Manfred and Stavroulakis, G.

The method is based on an upper bound limit and shakedown analysis with elastic-perfectly plastic material model. A non-linear constrained optimisation problem is solved by using Newton's method in conjunction with a penalty method and the Lagrangean dual method. Numerical investigation of a pipe bend subjected to bending moments proves the effectiveness of the algorithm.}, subject = {Finite-Elemente-Methode}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TranStaatKreissig2007, author = {Tran, Thanh Ngoc and Staat, Manfred and Kreißig, R.}, title = {Finite element shakedown and limit reliability analysis of thin shells}, year = {2007}, abstract = {A procedure for the evaluation of the failure probability of elastic-plastic thin shell structures is presented.

Screen-printing is especially suitable due to its simplicity, low-cost, high reproducibility and efficiency in large-scale production. This technology enables the deposition of a thick layer and allows precise pattern control. Moreover, this is a highly economic technology, saving large amounts of the used inks. In the course of repetitions of the film-deposition procedure there is no waste of material due to additivity of this thick-film technology. Finally, the thick films can be easily and quickly deposited on inexpensive substrates. In this contribution, thick-film ion-selective electrodes based on ionophores as well as crystalline ion-selective materials dedicated for potentiometric measurements are demonstrated. Analytical parameters of these sensors are comparable with those reported for conventional potentiometric electrodes. All mentioned thick-film strip electrodes have been totally fabricated in only one, fully automated thickfilm technology, without any additional manual, chemical or electrochemical steps. In all cases simple, inexpensive, commercially available materials, i.e. flexible, plastic substrates and easily cured polymer-based pastes were used.}, subject = {Biosensor}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WagnerKohlFroebaetal.2006, author = {Wagner, Thorsten and Kohl, Claus-Dieter and Fr{\"o}ba, Michael and Tiemann, Michael}, title = {Gas sensing properties of ordered mesoporous SnO2}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:a96-opus-1422}, year = {2006}, abstract = {We report on the synthesis and CO gas-sensing properties of mesoporous tin(IV) oxides (SnO2).

Nitrogen physisorption shows specific surface areas up to 160 m2·g-1 and mean pore diameters of about 4 nm, as verified by TEM. The film conductance was measured in dependence on the CO concentration in humid synthetic air at a constant temperature of 300 °C. The sensors show a high sensitivity at low CO concentrations and turn out to be largely insensitive towards changes in the relative humidity.
