However, no studies have been published where OMA is tested in transonic flows, which is the dominant condition for large civil aircraft and is characterized by complex and unique aerodynamic phenomena. We use data from the HIRENASD large-scale wind tunnel experiment to automatically extract modal parameters from an ambiently excited wing operated in the transonic regime using two OMA methods: Stochastic Subspace Identification (SSI) and Frequency Domain Decomposition (FDD). The system response is evaluated based on accelerometer measurements. The excitation is investigated from surface pressure measurements. The forcing function is shown to be non-white, non-stationary and contaminated by narrow-banded transonic disturbances. All these properties violate fundamental OMA assumptions about the forcing function. Despite this, all physical modes in the investigated frequency range were successfully identified, and in addition transonic pressure waves were identified as physical modes as well. The SSI method showed superior identification capabilities for the investigated case. The investigation shows that complex transonic flows can interfere with OMA. This can make existing approaches for modal tracking unsuitable for their application to aircraft wings operated in the transonic flight regime. Approaches to separate the true physical modes from the transonic disturbances are discussed.}, language = {en} } @article{KowalskiLinderZierkeetal.2016, author = {Kowalski, Julia and Linder, Peter and Zierke, S. and Wulfen, B. van and Clemens, J. and Konstantinidis, K. and Ameres, G. and Hoffmann, R. and Mikucki, J. and Tulaczyk, S. and Funke, O. and Blandfort, D. and Espe, Clemens and Feldmann, Marco and Francke, Gero and Hiecker, S. and Plescher, Engelbert and Sch{\"o}ngarth, Sarah and Dachwald, Bernd and Digel, Ilya and Artmann, Gerhard and Eliseev, D. and Heinen, D. and Scholz, F. and Wiebusch, C. and Macht, S. and Bestmann, U. and Reineking, T. and Zetzsche, C. and Schill, K. and F{\"o}rstner, R. and Niedermeier, H. and Szumski, A. and Eissfeller, B. and Naumann, U. and Helbing, K.}, title = {Navigation technology for exploration of glacier ice with maneuverable melting probes}, series = {Cold Regions Science and Technology}, journal = {Cold Regions Science and Technology}, number = {123}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0165-232X}, doi = {10.1016/j.coldregions.2015.11.006}, pages = {53 -- 70}, year = {2016}, abstract = {The Saturnian moon Enceladus with its extensive water bodies underneath a thick ice sheet cover is a potential candidate for extraterrestrial life. Direct exploration of such extraterrestrial aquatic ecosystems requires advanced access and sampling technologies with a high level of autonomy. A new technological approach has been developed as part of the collaborative research project Enceladus Explorer (EnEx). The concept is based upon a minimally invasive melting probe called the IceMole. The force-regulated, heater-controlled IceMole is able to travel along a curved trajectory as well as upwards. Hence, it allows maneuvers which may be necessary for obstacle avoidance or target selection. Maneuverability, however, necessitates a sophisticated on-board navigation system capable of autonomous operations. The development of such a navigational system has been the focal part of the EnEx project. The original IceMole has been further developed to include relative positioning based on in-ice attitude determination, acoustic positioning, ultrasonic obstacle and target detection integrated through a high-level sensor fusion. This paper describes the EnEx technology and discusses implications for an actual extraterrestrial mission concept.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HallmannHeideckerSchlottereretal.2016, author = {Hallmann, Marcus and Heidecker, Ansgar and Schlotterer, Markus and Dachwald, Bernd}, title = {GTOC8: results and methods of team 15 DLR}, series = {26th AAS/AIAA Space Flight Mechanics Meeting, Napa, CA}, booktitle = {26th AAS/AIAA Space Flight Mechanics Meeting, Napa, CA}, year = {2016}, abstract = {This paper describes the results and methods used during the 8th Global Trajectory Optimization Competition (GTOC) of the DLR team.

A lot of research has been done to different type of mission problems. The most demanding ones are low thrust transfers with e.g. gravity assist sequences. In that case the optimal control problem is combined with an integer problem.

The modal system properties (natural frequencies and damping ratios) are used as damage-sensitive features. Special emphasis is placed on the use of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensing technology and the consideration of Operational and Environmental Variability (OEV). Measurements from a wind tunnel investigation with a composite cantilever equipped with FBG and piezoelectric sensors are used to successfully detect an impact damage. In addition, the feasibility of damage localisation and severity estimation is evaluated based on the coupling found between damageand OEV-induced feature changes.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BarnatBosse2016, author = {Barnat, Miriam and Bosse, Elke}, title = {The challenge of creating meta-inferences: Combining data representing institutional and individual perspectives on first-year support in higher education}, series = {9th Conference on Social Science Methodology of the International Sociological Association, Leicester, UK}, booktitle = {9th Conference on Social Science Methodology of the International Sociological Association, Leicester, UK}, pages = {1 -- 20}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KleineKallweitMichauxetal.2016, author = {Kleine, Harald and Kallweit, Stephan and Michaux, Frank and Havermann, Marc and Olivier, Herbert}, title = {PIV Measurement of Shock Wave Diffraction}, series = {18th International Symposium on Applications of Laser Techniques to Fluid Mechanics, 2016, Lissabon}, booktitle = {18th International Symposium on Applications of Laser Techniques to Fluid Mechanics, 2016, Lissabon}, pages = {1 -- 14}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchleupenEngemannBagherietal.2016, author = {Schleupen, Josef and Engemann, Heiko and Bagheri, Mohsen and Kallweit, Stephan}, title = {The potential of SMART climbing robot combined with a weatherproof cabin for rotor blade maintenance}, series = {17th European Conference on Composite Materials - ECCM, Munich, Germany}, booktitle = {17th European Conference on Composite Materials - ECCM, Munich, Germany}, pages = {1 -- 8}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HoevelerJanser2016, author = {Hoeveler, Bastian and Janser, Frank}, title = {The aerodynamically optimized design of a fan-in-wing duct}, series = {Applied Aerodynamics Research Conference 2016, Bristol, GB, Jul 19-21, 2016}, booktitle = {Applied Aerodynamics Research Conference 2016, Bristol, GB, Jul 19-21, 2016}, isbn = {1-85768-371-4}, pages = {1 -- 10}, year = {2016}, language = {en} }
