Short-term success can be achieved through the data-driven optimization of operations and maintenance as well as the application of novel strategies such as prescriptive maintenance. After introducing the concept of prescriptive maintenance, this paper aims to prove that vehicle-focused applications of this approach indeed have the potential to increase attractiveness. However, even greater advantages can be activated if data from the horizontal network of the vehicle is available. Drawing on the state of the art in research and technology in the field of cyber-physical systems (CPS) as well as digital twins and shadows, our work serves to design a system of systems for the horizontal interconnection of a rail vehicle and to conceptualize a draft for a digital twin of a locomotive.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Eggert2019, author = {Eggert, Mathias}, title = {Understanding the acceptance of smart home-based insurances}, series = {Proceedings of the 27th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS), Stockholm \& Uppsala, Sweden, June 8-14, 2019}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 27th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS), Stockholm \& Uppsala, Sweden, June 8-14, 2019}, isbn = {978-1-7336325-0-8}, pages = {1 -- 15}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FerreinBharatheeshaSchifferetal.2019, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Bharatheesha, Mukunda and Schiffer, Stefan and Corbato, Carlos Hernandez}, title = {TRROS 2018 : Teaching Robotics with ROS Workshop at ERF 2018; Proceedings of the Workshop on Teaching Robotics with ROS (held at ERF 2018), co-located with European Robotics Forum 2018 (ERF 2018), Tampere, Finland, March 15th, 2018}, series = {CEUR Workshop Proceedings}, booktitle = {CEUR Workshop Proceedings}, number = {Vol-2329}, issn = {1613-0073}, pages = {68 Seiten}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{BucurLazarescuPopetal.2019, author = {Bucur, Alexandru and Lazarescu, Lucian and Pop, Grigore Marian and Achimas, Gheorghe and Gebhardt, Andreas}, title = {Tribological performance of biodegradable lubricants under different surface roughness of tools}, series = {Academic Journal of Manufacturing Engineering}, volume = {17}, journal = {Academic Journal of Manufacturing Engineering}, number = {1}, issn = {1583-7904}, pages = {172 -- 178}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BayerHeschelerArtmannetal.2019, author = {Bayer, Robin and Hescheler, J{\"u}rgen and Artmann, Gerhard and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l}, title = {Treating arterial hypertension in a cell culture well}, series = {3rd YRA MedTech Symposium 2019 : May 24 / 2019 / FH AachenW}, booktitle = {3rd YRA MedTech Symposium 2019 : May 24 / 2019 / FH AachenW}, editor = {Staat, Manfred and Erni, Daniel}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Duisburg-Essen}, address = {Duisburg}, organization = {MedTech Symposium}, isbn = {978-3-940402-22-6}, doi = {10.17185/duepublico/48750}, pages = {5 -- 6}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Hypertension describes the pathological increase of blood pressure, which is most commonly associated with the increase of vascular wall stiffness [1]. Referring to the "Deutsche Bluthochdruck Liga" this pathology shows a growing trend in our aging society. In order to find novel pharmacological and probably personalized treatments, we want to present a functional approach to study biomechanical properties of a human aortic vascular model. In this method review we will give an overview of recent studies which were carried out with the CellDrum technology [2] and underline the added value to already existing standard procedures known from the field of physiology. Herein described CellDrum technology is a system to measure functional mechanical properties of cell monolayers and thin tissue constructs in-vitro. Additionally, the CellDrum enables to elucidate the mechanical response of cells to pharmacological drugs, toxins and vasoactive agents. Due to its highly flexible polymer support, cells can also be mechanically stimulated by steady and cyclic biaxial stretching.}, language = {en} } @article{WerkhausenCroninAlbrachtetal.2019, author = {Werkhausen, Amelie and Cronin, Neil J. and Albracht, Kirsten and Paulsen, G{\o}ran and Larsen, Askild V. and Bojsen-M{\o}ller, Jens and Seynnes, Olivier R.}, title = {Training-induced increase in Achilles tendon stiffness affects tendon strain pattern during running}, series = {PeerJ}, journal = {PeerJ}, publisher = {Peer}, address = {London}, issn = {21678359}, doi = {10.7717/peerj.6764}, pages = {18 Seiten}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Background During the stance phase of running, the elasticity of the Achilles tendon enables the utilisation of elastic energy and allows beneficial contractile conditions for the triceps surae muscles. However, the effect of changes in tendon mechanical properties induced by chronic loading is still poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that a training-induced increase in Achilles tendon stiffness would result in reduced tendon strain during the stance phase of running, which would reduce fascicle strains in the triceps surae muscles, particularly in the mono-articular soleus. Methods Eleven subjects were assigned to a training group performing isometric singleleg plantarflexion contractions three times per week for ten weeks, and another ten subjects formed a control group. Before and after the training period, Achilles tendon stiffness was estimated, and muscle-tendon mechanics were assessed during running at preferred speed using ultrasonography, kinematics and kinetics. Results Achilles tendon stiffness increased by 18\% (P <0:01) in the training group, but the associated reduction in strain seen during isometric contractions was not statistically significant. Tendon elongation during the stance phase of running was similar after training, but tendon recoil was reduced by 30\% (P <0:01), while estimated tendon force remained unchanged. Neither gastrocnemius medialis nor soleus fascicle shortening during stance was affected by training. Discussion These results show that a training-induced increase in Achilles tendon stiffness altered tendon behaviour during running. Despite training-induced changes in tendon mechanical properties and recoil behaviour, the data suggest that fascicle shortening patterns were preserved for the running speed that we examined. The asymmetrical changes in tendon strain patterns supports the notion that simple inseries models do not fully explain the mechanical output of the muscle-tendon unit during a complex task like running.}, language = {en} } @article{KramerValeroChansonetal.2019, author = {Kramer, Matthias and Valero, Daniel and Chanson, Hubert and Bung, Daniel B.}, title = {Towards reliable turbulence estimations with phase-detection probes: an adaptive window cross-correlation technique}, series = {Experiments in Fluids}, volume = {60}, journal = {Experiments in Fluids}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1432-1114}, doi = {10.1007/s00348-018-2650-9}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{BreuerPilasGuthmannetal.2019, author = {Breuer, Lars and Pilas, Johanna and Guthmann, Eric and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Thoelen, Ronald and Wagner, Torsten}, title = {Towards light-addressable flow control: responsive hydrogels with incorporated graphene oxide as laser-driven actuator structures within microfluidic channels}, series = {Sensor and Actuators B: Chemical}, volume = {288}, journal = {Sensor and Actuators B: Chemical}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0925-4005}, doi = {10.1016/j.snb.2019.02.086}, pages = {579 -- 585}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{ArreolaKeusgenSchoening2019, author = {Arreola, Julio and Keusgen, Michael and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Toward an immobilization method for spore-based biosensors in oxidative environment}, series = {Electrochimica Acta}, volume = {302}, journal = {Electrochimica Acta}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, doi = {10.1016/j.electacta.2019.01.148}, pages = {394 -- 401}, year = {2019}, language = {en} }
