To avoid damages by overheating the design of effective cooling systems is required. Therefore the knowledge of heat sources and heat transfer processes is necessary. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate a good and effective calculation method for the temperature analysis based on homogenization techniques. These methods have been applied for the stator windings in a slot of an electric machine consisting of copper wires and resin. The key quantity here is an effective thermal conductivity, which characterizes the heterogeneous wire resin-arrangement inside the stator slot. To illustrate the applicability of the method, the analysis of a simplified, homogenized model is compared with the detailed analysis of temperature behavior inside a slot of an electric machine according to the heat generation. We considered here only the stationary situation. The achieved numerical results are accurate and show that the applied homogenization technique works in practice. Finally the results of simulations for the two cases, the original model of the slot and the homogenized model chosen for the slot (unit cell), are compared to experimental results.}, language = {en} } @incollection{NiemuellerEwertReuteretal.2014, author = {Niem{\"u}ller, Tim and Ewert, Daniel and Reuter, Sebastian and Ferrein, Alexander and Jeschke, Sabina and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {RoboCup logistics league sponsored by festo: A competitive factory automation testbed}, series = {RoboCup 2013: Robot World Cup XVII : Eindhoven; Netherlands; 1 July 2013 through 1 July 2013.

The novel RoboCup Logistics League Sponsored by Festo (LLSF) aims at such CPS logistic scenarios in an automation setting. A team of robots has to produce products from a number of semi-finished products which they have to machine during the game. Different production plans are possible and the robots need to recycle scrap byproducts. This way, the LLSF is a very interesting league offering a number of challenging research questions for planning, coordination, or communication in an application-driven scenario. In this paper, we outline the objectives of the LLSF and present steps for developing the league further towards a benchmark for logistics scenarios for CPS. As a major milestone we present the new automated referee system which helps in governing the game play as well as keeping track of the scored points in a very complex factory scenario.}, language = {en} } @article{KhaydukovaZadorozhnayaKirsanovetal.2014, author = {Khaydukova, M.

Especially, when applied in vapour phase, it has shown high potential of microbial inactivation. In addition, it offers a high environmental compatibility compared to other chemical sterilisation agents, as it decomposes into oxygen and water, respectively. Due to a lack in sensory detection possibilities, a continuous monitoring of the H2O2 concentration was recently not available. Instead, the sterilisation efficacy is validated using microbiological tests. However, progresses in the development of calorimetric gas sensors during the last 7 years have made it possible to monitor the H2O2 concentration during operation. This chapter deals with the fundamentals of calorimetric gas sensing with special focus on the detection of gaseous hydrogen peroxide. A sensor principle based on a calorimetric differential set-up is described. Special emphasis is given to the sensor design with respect to the operational requirements under field conditions. The state-of-the-art regarding a sensor set-up for the on-line monitoring and secondly, a miniaturised sensor for in-line monitoring are summarised. Furthermore, alternative detection methods and a novel multi-sensor system for the characterisation of aseptic sterilisation processes are described.}, language = {en} } @incollection{KnottSofroniaGerressenetal.2014, author = {Knott, Thomas C. and Sofronia, Raluca E. and Gerressen, Marcus and Law, Yuen and Davidescu, Arjana and Savii, George G. and Gatzweiler, Karl-Heinz and Staat, Manfred and Kuhlen, Torsten W.}, title = {Preliminary bone sawing model for a virtual reality-based training simulator of bilateral sagittal split osteotomy}, series = {Biomedical simulation : 6th International Symposium, ISBMS 2014, Strasbourg, France, October 16-17, 2014 : proceedings (Lecture notes in computer science : vol. 8789)}, booktitle = {Biomedical simulation : 6th International Symposium, ISBMS 2014, Strasbourg, France, October 16-17, 2014 : proceedings (Lecture notes in computer science : vol. 8789)}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-12057-7 (Online)}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-12057-7_1}, pages = {1 -- 10}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Successful bone sawing requires a high level of skill and experience, which could be gained by the use of Virtual Reality-based simulators.

Bone samples from a human cadaveric mandible were tested using a designed experimental system. Image processing and statistical analysis were used for the selection of four models for the bone sawing process. The results revealed a polynomial dependency between the material removal rate and the applied force. Differences between the three segments of the osteotomy line and between the cortical and cancellous bone were highlighted.}, language = {en} } @incollection{FrotscherGossmannRaatschenetal.2015, author = {Frotscher, Ralf and Goßmann, Matthias and Raatschen, Hans-J{\"u}rgen and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Simulation of cardiac cell-seeded membranes using the edge-based smoothed FEM}, series = {Shell and membrane theories in mechanics and biology.
