In case of seismic excitation, these constructions are highly vulnerable to stability failures. An earthquake-resistant design of rigidly supported tanks for high seismic loading demands, however, uneconomic wall thicknesses. A cost-effective alternative can be provided by base isolation systems. In this paper, a simplified seismic design procedure for base isolated tanks is introduced, by appropriately modifying the standard mechanical model for flexible, rigidly supported tanks. The non-linear behavior of conventional base isolation systems becomes an integral part of a proposed simplified process, which enables the assessment of the reduced hydrodynamic forces acting on the tank walls and the corresponding stress distribution. The impulsive and convective actions of the liquid are taken into account. The validity of this approach is evaluated by employing a non-linear fluid-structure interaction algorithm of finite element method. Special focus is placed on the boundary conditions imposed from the base isolation and the resulting hydrodynamic pressures. Both horizontal and vertical component of ground motion are considered in order to study the principal effects of the base isolation on the pressure distribution of the tank walls. The induced rocking effects associated with elastomeric bearings are discussed. The results manifest that base isolated tanks can be designed for seismic loads by means of the proposed procedure with sufficient accuracy, allowing to dispense with numerically expensive techniques.}, language = {en} } @article{RosenauerOberstLitvinovetal.2000, author = {Rosenauer, A. and Oberst, W. and Litvinov, D. and Gerthsen, D. and F{\"o}rster, Arnold and Schmidt, R.}, title = {Structural and Chemical Investigation of In-0.6Ga0.4As Stranski-Krastanow Layers Burried in GaAs by Transmission Electron Microscopy}, series = {Physical Review B. 61 (2000), H. 12}, journal = {Physical Review B. 61 (2000), H. 12}, isbn = {1095-3795}, pages = {8276 -- 8288}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RochefortVerverGrunendahletal.2005, author = {Rochefort, E. de and Verver, M. and Grunendahl, A. and Mooi, H. and Butenweg, Christoph}, title = {Detailed modelling of the lumbar spine for investigation of low back pain}, series = {Digital Human Modeling for Design and Engineering Symposium : Iowa City, Iowa June 14-16, 2005.

A potential major disaster at an industrial site could affect several countries, probably far beyond the country where it is located. However, the seismic design and safety assessment of these facilities is practically based on national, often outdated seismic hazard assessment studies, due to many reasons, including the absence of a reliable, commonly developed seismic hazard model for whole Europe. This important gap is no more existing, as the 2020 European Seismic Hazard Model ESHM20 was released in December 2021. In this paper we investigate the expected impact of the adoption of ESHM20 on the seismic demand for industrial facilities, through the comparison of the ESHM20 probabilistic hazard at the sites where industrial facilities are located with the respective national and European regulations. The goal of this preliminary work in the framework of Working Group 13 of the European Association for Earthquake Engineering (EAEE), is to identify potential inadequacies in the design and safety control of existing industrial facilities and to highlight the expected impact of the adoption of the new European Seismic Hazard Model on the design of new industrial facilities and the safety assessment of existing ones.}, language = {en} } @article{RiekeStollenwerkDahmenetal.2018, author = {Rieke, Christian and Stollenwerk, Dominik and Dahmen, Markus and Pieper, Martin}, title = {Modeling and optimization of a biogas plant for a demand-driven energy supply}, series = {Energy}, volume = {145}, journal = {Energy}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0360-5442}, doi = {10.1016/j.energy.2017.12.073}, pages = {657 -- 664}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Due to the Renewable Energy Act, in Germany it is planned to increase the amount of renewable energy carriers up to 60\%. One of the main problems is the fluctuating supply of wind and solar energy. Here biogas plants provide a solution, because a demand-driven supply is possible. Before running such a plant, it is necessary to simulate and optimize the process. This paper provides a new model of a biogas plant, which is as accurate as the standard ADM1 model. The advantage compared to ADM1 is that it is based on only four parameters compared to 28. Applying this model, an optimization was installed, which allows a demand-driven supply by biogas plants. Finally the results are confirmed by several experiments and measurements with a real test plant.}, language = {en} } @misc{ReyesOchoa2014, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Reyes Ochoa, Leonel}, title = {Engineering aspects of a parabolic trough collector field with direct steam generation and an organic rankine cycle}, publisher = {Fachhochschule Aachen}, address = {Aachen}, pages = {X, 72 S.}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RensFerreinPoel2008, author = {Rens, Gavin and Ferrein, Alexander and Poel, Etienne van der}, title = {Extending DTGolog to deal with POMD-Ps}, series = {Proceedings of the Nineteenth Annual Symposium of the Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (PRASA 2008)}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Nineteenth Annual Symposium of the Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (PRASA 2008)}, organization = {Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa}, pages = {49 -- 54}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RendonSchwagerGhiasietal.2020, author = {Rendon, Carlos and Schwager, Christian and Ghiasi, Mona and Schmitz, Pascal and Bohang, Fakhri and Caminos, Ricardo Alexander Chico and Teixeira Boura, Cristiano Jos{\´e} and Herrmann, Ulf}, title = {Modeling and upscaling of a pilot bayonettube reactor for indirect solar mixed methane reforming}, series = {AIP Conference Proceedings}, booktitle = {AIP Conference Proceedings}, number = {2303}, doi = {10.1063/5.0029974}, pages = {170012-1 -- 170012-9}, year = {2020}, language = {en} }
