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} } @incollection{Dachwald2017, author = {Dachwald, Bernd}, title = {Light propulsion systems for spacecraft}, series = {Optical nano and micro actuator technology}, booktitle = {Optical nano and micro actuator technology}, editor = {Knopf, George K. and Otani, Yukitoshi}, publisher = {CRC Press}, address = {Boca Raton}, isbn = {9781315217628 (eBook)}, pages = {577 -- 598}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ValeroBungErpicumetal.2017, author = {Valero, Daniel and Bung, Daniel Bernhard and Erpicum, Sebastien and Dewals, Benjamin}, title = {Numerical study of turbulent oscillations around a cylinder: RANS capabilities and sensitivity analysis}, series = {Proceedings of the 37th IAHR World Congress August 13 - 18, 2017, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 37th IAHR World Congress August 13 - 18, 2017, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia}, issn = {2521-716X}, pages = {3126 -- 3135}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{SavitskayaKistaubayevaDigeletal.2017, author = {Savitskaya, I.

A laser-enhanced solar sail is a "traditional" solar sail that is, however, not solely propelled by solar radiation, but additionally by a laser beam that illuminates the sail. The additional laser radiation pressure increases the sail's propulsive force and can give, depending on the location of the laser source, more control authority over the direction of the solar sail's propulsive force vector. This way, laser-enhanced solar sails may augment already existing solar sail mission concepts and make novel mission concepts feasible.}, language = {en} } @misc{HacklWegmannKahmannetal.2017, author = {Hackl, Michael and Wegmann, Kilian and Kahmann, Stephanie Lucina and Heinze, Nicolai and Staat, Manfred and Neiss, Wolfram F. and Scaal, Martin and M{\"u}ller, Lars P.}, title = {Reply to the letter to the editor: shortening osteotomy of the proximal radius}, series = {Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy}, volume = {25}, journal = {Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy}, number = {10}, doi = {10.1007/s00167-017-4666-8}, pages = {3328 -- 3329}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{HacklAndermahrStaatetal.2017, author = {Hackl, M. and Andermahr, J. and Staat, Manfred and Bremer, I. and Borggrefe, J. and Prescher, A. and M{\"u}ller, L.
