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{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} } @inproceedings{KernSchelthoffMathieu2012, author = {Kern, Alexander and Schelthoff, Christof and Mathieu, Moritz}, title = {Calculation of interception efficiencies for mesh-type air-terminations according to IEC 62305-3 using a dynamic electro-geometrical model}, series = {International Conference on Lightning Protection (ICLP) : 2 - 7 Sept. 2012, Vienna}, booktitle = {International Conference on Lightning Protection (ICLP) : 2 - 7 Sept. 2012, Vienna}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway, NJ}, organization = {International Conference on Lightning Protection <2012, Wien>}, isbn = {978-1-4673-1896-9 (E-Book) ; 978-1-4673-1898-3 (Print)}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @article{SrivastavaLahiriMaitietal.2014, author = {Srivastava, A. and Lahiri, S. and Maiti, M. and Knolle, F. and Hoyler, Friedrich and Scherer, Ulrich W. and Schnug, E.

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{KernBraun2014, author = {Kern, Alexander and Braun, Christian}, title = {Risk management according to IEC 62305-2 edition 2: 2010-12 assessment of structures with a risk of explosion}, 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 = {1237 -- 1242}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Risk management for structures with a risk of explosion should be considered very carefully when performing a risk analysis according to IEC 62305-2.

An important processing step in the production of aluminium-containing composites is the surface treatment and consequent coating of adhesive material on the aluminium surface. To increase adhesion strength between aluminium layer and the adhesive material, the foil is heat treated. For efficient heating, induction heating was considered as state-of-the-art treatment process. Due to the complexity of the heating process and the unpredictable nature of the heating source, the control of the process is not yet optimised. In this work, a finite element analysis of the process was established and various process parameters were studied. The process was simplified and modelled in 3D. The numerical model contains an air domain, an aluminium layer and a copper coil fitted with a magnetic field concentrating material. The effect of changing the speed of the aluminium foil (or rolling speed) was studied with the change of the coil current. Statistical analysis was used for generating a general control equation of coil current with changing rolling speed.}, language = {en} } @incollection{MottaghyMajorowiczRath2009, author = {Mottaghy, Darius and Majorowicz, Jacek and Rath, Volker}, title = {Ground Surface Temperature Histories Reconstructed from Boreholes in Poland: Implications for Spatial Variability}, series = {The Polish Climate in the European Context: An Historical Overview}, booktitle = {The Polish Climate in the European Context: An Historical Overview}, publisher = {Springer Science+Business Media}, address = {Dordrecht}, isbn = {978-90-481-3167-9}, doi = {10.1007/978-90-481-3167-9_17}, pages = {375 -- 387}, year = {2009}, language = {en} }
