Images of Enceladus' South Pole showed several fissures in the ice shell with plumes constantly exhausting frozen water particles, building up the E-Ring, one of the outer rings of Saturn. In this southern region of Enceladus, the ice shell is considered to be as thin as 2 km, about an order of magnitude thinner than on the rest of the moon. Under the ice shell, there is a global ocean consisting of liquid water. Scientists are discussing different approaches the possibilities of taking samples of water, i.e. by melting through the ice using a melting probe. FH Aachen UAS developed a prototype of maneuverable melting probe which can navigate through the ice that has already been tested successfully in a terrestrial environment. This means no atmosphere and or ambient pressure, low ice temperatures of around 100 to 150K (near the South Pole) and a very low gravity of 0,114 m/s^2 or 1100 μg. Two of these influencing measures are about to be investigated at FH Aachen UAS in 2017, low ice temperature and low ambient pressure below the triple point of water. Low gravity cannot be easily simulated inside a large experiment chamber, though. Numerical simulations of the melting process at RWTH Aachen however are showing a gravity dependence of melting behavior. Considering this aspect, VIPER provides a link between large-scale experimental simulations at FH Aachen UAS and numerical simulations at RWTH Aachen. To analyze the melting process, about 90 seconds of experiment time in reduced gravity and low ambient pressure is provided by the REXUS rocket. In this time frame, the melting speed and contact force between ice and probes are measured, as well as heating power and a two-dimensional array of ice temperatures. Additionally, visual and infrared cameras are used to observe the melting process.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TranStaat2014, author = {Tran, Thanh Ngoc and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Uncertain multimode failure and limit analysis of shells}, series = {11th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XI) ; 5th European Conference on Computational Mechanics (ECCM V) ; 6th European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics (ECFD VI) ; July 20-25, 2014, Barcelona}, booktitle = {11th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM XI) ; 5th European Conference on Computational Mechanics (ECCM V) ; 6th European Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics (ECFD VI) ; July 20-25, 2014, Barcelona}, editor = {Onate, E.}, organization = {World Congress on Computational Mechanics <11, 2014, Barcelona>}, pages = {1 -- 12}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MansurovZhubanovaDigeletal.2008, author = {Mansurov, Zulkhair and Zhubanova, Azhar A. and Digel, Ilya and Artmann, Gerhard and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l and Savitskaja, Irina S. and Kozhalakova, A.

To this end it is important to make a clear distinction between the shakedown range and the ratcheting range. In cyclic plasticity more sophisticated hardening models have been suggested in order to model the strain evolution observed in ratcheting experiments. The hardening models used in shakedown analysis are comparatively simple. It is shown that shakedown analysis can make quite stable predictions of admissible load ranges despite the simplicity of the underlying hardening models. A linear and a nonlinear kinematic hardening model of two-surface plasticity are compared in material shakedown analysis. Both give identical or similar shakedown ranges. Structural shakedown analyses show that the loading may have a more pronounced effect than the hardening model.}, subject = {Biomedizinische Technik}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ArtmannStadlerEmbsetal.2010, author = {Artmann, Gerhard and Stadler, Andreas M. and Embs, Jan P. and Zaccai, Giuseppe and B{\"u}ldt, Georg and Digel, Ilya and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l}, title = {The crucial role of water in a phase transition of hemoglobin at body temperature : [abstract]}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The observation of a temperature transition of hemoglobin occurring at a critical temperature close to body temperature}, subject = {H{\"a}moglobin}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StadlerEmbsZerlinetal.2007, author = {Stadler, Andreas M. and Embs, Jan P. and Zerlin, Kay and Digel, Ilya and Artmann, Gerhard and Zaccai, Joe and B{\"u}ldt, Georg}, title = {Temperature transitions of hemoglobin and cytosolic water diffusion in human red blood cells : [poster]}, year = {2007}, abstract = {Background Hemoglobin interactions in red blood cells Hemoglobin dynamics in human red blood cells Diffusion of H2O in red blood cells}, subject = {Erythrozyt}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DigelTemizArtmannNojimaetal.2003, author = {Digel, Ilya and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l and Nojima, H. and Artmann, Gerhard}, title = {Some peculiarities of application of cluster ions generated by plasma in respect of indoor air purification :[abstract]}, year = {2003}, abstract = {Recently, the SHARP Corporation, Japan, has developed the world's first "Plasma Cluster Ions (PCI)" air purification technology using plasma discharge to generate cluster ions. The new plasma cluster device releases positive and negative ions into the air, which are able to decompose and deactivate harmful airborne substances by chemical reactions. Because cluster ions consist of positive and negative ions that normally exist in the natural world, they are completely harmless and safe to humans. The amount of ozone generated by cluster ions is less than 0.01 ppm, which is significantly less than the 0.05-ppm standard for industrial operations and consumer electronics. This amount, thus, has no harming effects whatsoever on the human body. But particular properties and chemical processes in PCI treatment are still under study. It has been shown that PCI in most cases show strongly pronounced irreversible killing effects in respect of airborne microflora due to free-radical induced reactions and can be considered as a potent technology to disinfect both home, medical and industrial appliances.}, subject = {Clusterion}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StaatDuong2016, author = {Staat, Manfred and Duong, Minh Tuan}, title = {Smoothed Finite Element Methods for Nonlinear Solid Mechanics Problems: 2D and 3D Case Studies}, series = {Proceedings of the National Science and Technology Conference on Mechanical - Transportation Engineering (NSCMET 2016), 13th October 2016, Hanoi, Vietnam, Vol.2}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the National Science and Technology Conference on Mechanical - Transportation Engineering (NSCMET 2016), 13th October 2016, Hanoi, Vietnam, Vol.2}, pages = {440 -- 445}, year = {2016}, abstract = {The Smoothed Finite Element Method (SFEM) is presented as an edge-based and a facebased techniques for 2D and 3D boundary value problems, respectively. SFEMs avoid shortcomings of the standard Finite Element Method (FEM) with lower order elements such as overly stiff behavior, poor stress solution, and locking effects. Based on the idea of averaging spatially the standard strain field of the FEM over so-called smoothing domains SFEM calculates the stiffness matrix for the same number of degrees of freedom (DOFs) as those of the FEM. However, the SFEMs significantly improve accuracy and convergence even for distorted meshes and/or nearly incompressible materials. Numerical results of the SFEMs for a cardiac tissue membrane (thin plate inflation) and an artery (tension of 3D tube) show clearly their advantageous properties in improving accuracy particularly for the distorted meshes and avoiding shear locking effects.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FrotscherDuongStaat2015, author = {Frotscher, Ralf and Duong, Minh Tuan and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Simulating beating cardiomyocytes with electromechanical coupling}, series = {II.
