The rotor blades of a wind turbine are typically made from composite material, which withstands high forces during rotation. The huge dimensions of the rotor blades complicate the inspection processes in manufacturing. The automation of inspection processes has a great potential to increase the overall productivity and to create a consistent reliable database for each individual rotor blade. The focus of this paper is set on the process of rotor blade inspection automation by utilizing an autonomous mobile manipulator. The main innovations include a novel path planning strategy for zone-based navigation, which enables an intuitive right-hand or left-hand driving behavior in a shared human-robot workspace. In addition, we introduce a new method for surface orthogonal motion planning in connection with large-scale structures. An overall execution strategy controls the navigation and manipulation processes of the long-running inspection task. The implemented concepts are evaluated in simulation and applied in a real-use case including the tip of a rotor blade form.}, language = {en} } @article{SchwarzGebhardtSchleseretal.2019, author = {Schwarz, Alexander and Gebhardt, Andreas and Schleser, Markus and Popoola, Patricia}, title = {New Welding Joint Geometries Manufactured by Powder Bed Fusion from 316L}, series = {Materials Performance and Characterization 8}, journal = {Materials Performance and Characterization 8}, number = {in press}, issn = {2379-1365}, doi = {10.1520/MPC20180096}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{CosmaKesslerGebhardtetal.2020, author = {Cosma, Cosmin and Kessler, Julia and Gebhardt, Andreas and Campbell, Ian and Balc, Nicolae}, title = {Improving the Mechanical Strength of Dental Applications and Lattice Structures SLM Processed}, series = {Materials}, volume = {13}, journal = {Materials}, number = {4}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {1996-1944}, doi = {10.3390/ma13040905}, pages = {1 -- 18}, year = {2020}, abstract = {To manufacture custom medical parts or scaffolds with reduced defects and high mechanical characteristics, new research on optimizing the selective laser melting (SLM) parameters are needed. In this work, a biocompatible powder, 316L stainless steel, is characterized to understand the particle size, distribution, shape and flowability. Examination revealed that the 316L particles are smooth, nearly spherical, their mean diameter is 39.09 μm and just 10\% of them hold a diameter less than 21.18 μm. SLM parameters under consideration include laser power up to 200 W, 250-1500 mm/s scanning speed, 80 μm hatch spacing, 35 μm layer thickness and a preheated platform. The effect of these on processability is evaluated. More than 100 samples are SLM-manufactured with different process parameters. The tensile results show that is possible to raise the ultimate tensile strength up to 840 MPa, adapting the SLM parameters for a stable processability, avoiding the technological defects caused by residual stress. Correlating with other recent studies on SLM technology, the tensile strength is 20\% improved. To validate the SLM parameters and conditions established, complex bioengineering applications such as dental bridges and macro-porous grafts are SLM-processed, demonstrating the potential to manufacture medical products with increased mechanical resistance made of 316L.}, language = {en} } @article{WilbringEnningPfaffetal.2020, author = {Wilbring, Daniela and Enning, Manfred and Pfaff, Raphael and Schmidt, Bernd}, title = {Neue Perspektiven f{\"u}r die Bahn in der Produktions- und Distributionslogistik durch Prozessautomation}, series = {ETR - Eisenbahntechnische Rundschau}, volume = {69}, journal = {ETR - Eisenbahntechnische Rundschau}, number = {3}, issn = {0013-2845}, pages = {15 -- 19}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{Thomas2019, author = {Thomas, Axel}, title = {Die Wiederbelebung der Mitarbeiterwohnungsidee bei kommunalen Unternehmen}, series = {VM Verwaltung und Management}, volume = {25}, journal = {VM Verwaltung und Management}, number = {6}, publisher = {Nomos-Verl.-Ges.}, address = {Baden-Baden}, issn = {0947-9856}, doi = {10.5771/0947-9856-2019-6-286}, pages = {286 -- 291}, year = {2019}, language = {de} } @article{EngelnMuellges1982, author = {Engeln-M{\"u}llges, Gisela}, title = {Entartungsbedingungen f{\"u}r Gleitfl{\"a}chennomogramme und Nomographierbarkeitsbedingungen f{\"u}r Fluchtebenennomogramme}, series = {ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik}, volume = {62}, journal = {ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik}, number = {2}, issn = {1521-4001}, doi = {10.1002/zamm.19820620203}, pages = {77 -- 93}, year = {1982}, language = {de} } @article{EngemannDuKallweitetal.2020, author = {Engemann, Heiko and Du, Shengzhi and Kallweit, Stephan and C{\"o}nen, Patrick and Dawar, Harshal}, title = {OMNIVIL - an autonomous mobile manipulator for flexible production}, series = {Sensors}, volume = {20}, journal = {Sensors}, number = {24, art. no. 7249}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, isbn = {1424-8220}, doi = {10.3390/s20247249}, pages = {1 -- 30}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{PfaffEnningSutter2022, author = {Pfaff, Raphael and Enning, Manfred and Sutter, Stefan}, title = {A risk‑based approach to automatic brake tests for rail freight service: incident analysis and realisation concept}, series = {SN Applied Sciences}, volume = {4}, journal = {SN Applied Sciences}, number = {4}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, issn = {2523-3971}, doi = {10.1007/s42452-022-05007-x}, pages = {1 -- 14}, year = {2022}, abstract = {This study reviews the practice of brake tests in freight railways, which is time consuming and not suitable to detect certain failure types.

The proposed solutions relies exclusively on brake pipe and brake cylinder pressure sensors, a brake release position switch as well as radio communication via standard protocols. The approach is embedded in the Wagon 4.0 concept, which is a holistic approach to a smart freight wagon.

Research shows that training environments that adapt to users' preferences and performance can promote more effective learning. However, the observed results can hardly be traced back to specific adaptive measures but the whole new training approach. This study analyzes the effects of a combined point and leveling VR-based gamification system on assembly training targeting specific training outcomes and users' motivations. The Gamified-VR-Group with 26 subjects received the gamified training, and the Non-Gamified-VR-Group with 27 subjects received the alternative without gamified elements. Both groups conducted their VR training at least three times before assembling the actual structure. The study found that a level system that gradually increases the difficulty and error probability in VR can significantly lower real-world error rates, self-corrections, and support usages. According to our study, a high error occurrence at the highest training level reduced the Gamified-VR-Group's feeling of competence compared to the Non-Gamified-VR-Group, but at the same time also led to lower error probabilities in real-life. It is concluded that a level system with a variable task difficulty should be combined with carefully balanced positive and negative feedback messages. This way, better learning results, and an improved self-evaluation can be achieved while not causing significant impacts on the participants' feeling of competence.}, language = {en} }
