As simulation software COMSOL is used. The main philosophy was to combine theory and praxis in a way that motivates the students. In addition "soft skills" should be improved. This was achieved by project work as final examination. As underlying didactical principle the ideas of Bloom's revised taxonomy were followed. The paper basically focusses on educational aspects, e.g. how to structure the course, plan the exercises, organize the project work and include practical COMSOL examples.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RosinButenweg2014, author = {Rosin, Julia and Butenweg, Christoph}, title = {Seismic isolation of cylindrical liquid storage tanks}, series = {Proceedings of the 9th European Conference on Structural Dynamics, EURODYN 2014 Porto, Portugal, 30 June - 2 July 2014 / A.

In these cases, the loss is not limited to the structure itself, which is valid for usual structures. In the past (Edition 1) this danger was simply taken into account by a special hazard factor, multiplying the existing risk for the structure with a number. Now, in the edition 2, we add to the risk for the structure itself a "second risk" due to the losses outside the structure. The losses outside can be treated independently from what occurs inside. This is a major advantage to analyze the risk for sensitive structures, like chemical plants, nuclear plants, or structures containing explosives, etc. In this paper, the existing procedure given by the European version EN 62305-2 Ed.2 is further developed and applied to a few structures.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WetterKern2014, author = {Wetter, Martin and Kern, Alexander}, title = {Number of lightning strikes to tall structures - comparison of calculations and measurements using a modern lightning monitoring system}, series = {2014 International Conference on Lightning Protection (ICLP), Shanghai, China}, booktitle = {2014 International Conference on Lightning Protection (ICLP), Shanghai, China}, organization = {International Conference on Lightning Protection <2014, Shanghai>}, pages = {1 -- 7}, year = {2014}, language = {en} }
