The transformation is assisted by employment of machine learning techniques that can deal with modeling both big or limited data. This manuscript reviews these concepts and present a case study that demonstrates the use of a novel intelligent hybrid algorithms for Industry 4.0 applications with limited data. In particular, an intelligent algorithm is proposed for robust data modeling of nonlinear systems based on input-output data. In our approach, a novel hybrid data-driven combining the Group-Method of Data-Handling and Singular-Value Decomposition is adapted to find an offline deterministic model combined with Pareto multi-objective optimization to overcome the overfitting issue. An Unscented-Kalman-Filter is also incorporated to update the coefficient of the deterministic model and increase its robustness against data uncertainties. The effectiveness of the proposed method is examined on a set of real industrial measurements.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchirraWatmuffBauschat2014, author = {Schirra, Julian and Watmuff, Jon and Bauschat, J.-Michael}, title = {A relative assessment of existing potential-methodologies to accurately estimate the induced drag of highly non-planar lifting systems}, series = {Advanced aero concepts, design and operations : Applied Aerodynamics Conference : July 22 -24, 2014, Bristol, UK}, booktitle = {Advanced aero concepts, design and operations : Applied Aerodynamics Conference : July 22 -24, 2014, Bristol, UK}, organization = {Applied Aerodynamics Conference <2014, Bristol>}, pages = {1 -- 13}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FingerBraunBil2017, author = {Finger, Felix and Braun, Carsten and Bil, Cees}, title = {A Review of Configuration Design for Distributed Propulsion Transitioning VTOL Aircraft}, series = {Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Aerospace Technology 2017, APISAT 2017, Seoul, Korea}, booktitle = {Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Aerospace Technology 2017, APISAT 2017, Seoul, Korea}, pages = {15 Seiten}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{DachwaldBallUlamecetal.2009, author = {Dachwald, Bernd and Ball, Andrew J. and Ulamec, Stephan and Price, Michael E.}, title = {A small mission for in situ exploration of a primitive binary near-Earth asteroid / Ball, Andrew J. ; Ulamec, Stephan ; Dachwald, Bernd ; Price, Michael E. ; [u.a.]}, series = {Advances in Space Research. 43 (2009), H. 2}, journal = {Advances in Space Research. 43 (2009), H. 2}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, isbn = {0273-1177}, pages = {317 -- 324}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @unpublished{SchmuellingGuetzlaffCzupalla2024, author = {Schm{\"u}lling, Max and G{\"u}tzlaff, Joel and Czupalla, Markus}, title = {A thermal simulation environment for moving objects on the lunar surface}, doi = {10.21203/rs.3.rs-3902363/v1}, pages = {12 Seiten}, year = {2024}, abstract = {This paper presents a thermal simulation environment for moving objects on the lunar surface. The goal of the thermal simulation environment is to enable the reliable prediction of the temperature development of a given object on the lunar surface by providing the respective heat fluxes for a mission on a given travel path. The user can import any object geometry and freely define the path that the object should travel. Using the path of the object, the relevant lunar surface geometry is imported from a digital elevation model. The relevant parts of the lunar surface are determined based on distance to the defined path. A thermal model of these surface sections is generated, consisting of a porous layer on top and a denser layer below. The object is moved across the lunar surface, and its inclination is adapted depending on the slope of the terrain below it. Finally, a transient thermal analysis of the object and its environment is performed at several positions on its path and the results are visualized. The paper introduces details on the thermal modeling of the lunar surface, as well as its verification. Furthermore, the structure of the created software is presented.

This paper introduces a validated methodology to investigate the aeroelastic instabilities of wing-propeller systems and to understand the dynamic mechanism leading to wing and whirl flutter and transition from one to the other. Factors such as nacelle positions along the wing span and chord and its propulsion system mounting stiffness are considered. Additionally, preliminary design guidelines are proposed for flutter-free wing-propeller systems applicable to novel aircraft designs. The study demonstrates how the critical speed of the wing-propeller systems is influenced by the mounting stiffness and propeller position. Weak mounting stiffnesses result in whirl flutter, while hard mounting stiffnesses lead to wing flutter. For the latter, the position of the propeller along the wing span may change the wing mode shapes and thus the flutter mechanism. Propeller positions closer to the wing tip enhance stability, but pusher configurations are more critical due to the mass distribution behind the elastic axis.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchirraBauschatWatmuff2014, author = {Schirra, Julian and Bauschat, J.-Michael and Watmuff, J.H.}, title = {Accurate induced drag prediction for highly non-planar lifting systems}, series = {19th Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference : 8.-11.

Their electrification is necessary as conventional HD trucks are already optimized for the long-haul application. The resulting hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) truck gains most of the fuel saving potential by the recuperation of potential energy and its consecutive utilization. The key to utilizing the full potential of HEV-HD trucks is to maximize the amount of recuperated energy and ensure its intelligent usage while keeping the operating point of the internal combustion engine as efficient as possible. To achieve this goal, an intelligent energy management strategy (EMS) based on ECMS is developed for a parallel HEV-HD truck which uses predictive discharge of the battery and adaptive operating strategy regarding the height profile and the vehicle mass. The presented EMS can reproduce the global optimal operating strategy over long phases and lead to a fuel saving potential of up to 2\% compared with a heuristic strategy. Furthermore, the fuel saving potential is correlated with the investigated boundary conditions to deepen the understanding of the impact of intelligent EMS for HEV-HD trucks.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NowackRoethBuehrigPolaczeketal.2008, author = {Nowack, N. and R{\"o}th, Thilo and B{\"u}hrig-Polaczek, A. and Klaus, G.}, title = {Advanced Sheet Metal Components Reinforced by Light Metal Cast Structures}, series = {Aluminium alloys : their physical and mechanical properties ; [proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Aluminium Alloys, 22 - 26 Sept. 2008, Aachen, Germany ; ICAA 11]}, booktitle = {Aluminium alloys : their physical and mechanical properties ; [proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Aluminium Alloys, 22 - 26 Sept. 2008, Aachen, Germany ; ICAA 11]}, number = {2}, editor = {Hirsch, J{\"u}rgen}, isbn = {978-3-527-32367-8}, pages = {2374 -- 2381}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{WeberRuffStahl2017, author = {Weber, Tobias and Ruff-Stahl, Hans-Joachim K.}, title = {Advances in Composite Manufacturing of Helicopter Parts}, series = {International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace}, volume = {4}, journal = {International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace}, number = {1}, issn = {2374-6793}, doi = {10.15394/ijaaa.2017.1153}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OttenSchmidtWeber2016, author = {Otten, D. and Schmidt, M. and Weber, Tobias}, title = {Advances in Determination of Material Parameters for Functional Simulations Based on Process Simulations}, series = {SAMPE Europe Conference 16 Liege}, booktitle = {SAMPE Europe Conference 16 Liege}, isbn = {978-1-5108-3800-0}, pages = {570 -- 577}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OttenSchmidWeber2015, author = {Otten, D. and Schmid, M. and Weber, Tobias}, title = {Advances In Sheet Metal-Forming: Reduction Of Tooling Cost By Methodical Optimization}, series = {Proceedings of SAMPE Europe Conference, Amiens , France}, booktitle = {Proceedings of SAMPE Europe Conference, Amiens , France}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GeibenGoettenHavermann2020, author = {Geiben, Benedikt and G{\"o}tten, Falk and Havermann, Marc}, title = {Aerodynamic analysis of a winged sub-orbital spaceplane}, publisher = {DGLR}, address = {Bonn}, doi = {10.25967/530170}, year = {2020}, abstract = {This paper primarily presents an aerodynamic CFD analysis of a winged spaceplane geometry based on the Japanese Space Walker proposal.

The novel method is based on a systematic study of 40 airfoils applying over 600 numerical simulations and considering natural transition. The influence of the airfoil thickness-to-chord ratio, camber, and freestream Reynolds number on both friction and pressure drag is analyzed in detail. Natural transition significantly affects drag characteristics and leads to distinct drag minima for different Reynolds numbers and thickness-to-chord ratios. The results of the systematic study are used to develop empirical correlations that can accurately predict an airfoil drag at low-lift conditions. The new approach estimates a transition location based on airfoil thickness-to-chord ratio, camber, and Reynolds number. It uses the transition location in a mixed laminar-turbulent skin-friction calculation, and corrects the skin-friction coefficient for separation effects. Pressure drag is estimated separately based on correlations of thickness-to-chord ratio, camber, and Reynolds number. The novel method shows excellent accuracy when compared with wind-tunnel measurements of multiple airfoils.

An innovative method through performing in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is utilised to quantify the effect of inlet air relative humidity at the cathode side on internal ionic resistances and output voltage of the fuel cell. In addition, algorithms are developed to analyse the electrochemical characteristics of the fuel cell. For the specific fuel cell stack used in this study, the membrane resistance drops by over 39 \% and the cathode side charge transfer resistance decreases by 23 \% after increasing the humidity from 30 \% to 85 \%, while the results of static operation also show an increase of ∼2.2 \% in the voltage output after increasing the relative humidity from 30 \% to 85 \%. In dynamic operation, visible drying effects occur at < 50 \% relative humidity, whereby the increase of the air side stoichiometry increases the drying effects. Furthermore, other parameters, such as hydrogen humidification, internal stack structure, and operating parameters like stoichiometry, pressure, and temperature affect the overall water balance. Therefore, the optimal humidification range must be determined by considering all these parameters to maximise the fuel cell performance and durability.

Considering distances of 200 AU for a new mission, one needs a spacecraft travelling at a speed of close to 10 AU/yr in order to keep the mission duration in the range of less than 25 yrs, a transfer time postulated by ESA.Two propulsion options for the mission have been proposed and discussed so far: the solar sail propulsion and the ballistic/radioisotope electric propulsion. As a further alternative, we here investigate a combination of solar-electric propulsion and radioisotope-electric propulsion. The solar-electric propulsion stage consists of six 22 cm diameter "RIT-22"ion thrusters working with a high specific impulse of 7377 s corresponding to a positive grid voltage of 5 kV. Solar power of 53 kW BOM is provided by a light-weight solar array. The REP-stage consists of four space-proven 10 cm diameter "RIT-10" ion thrusters that will be operating one after the other for 9 yrs in total. Four advanced radioisotope generators provide 648 W at BOM. The scientific instrument package is oriented at earlier studies. For its mass and electric power requirement 35 kg and 35 W are assessed, respectively. Optimized trajectory calculations, treated in a separate contribution, are based on our "InTrance" method.The program yields a burn out of the REP stage in a distance of 79.6 AU for a usage of 154 kg of Xe propellant. With a C3 = 45,1 (km/s)2 a heliocentric probe velocity of 10 AU/yr is reached at this distance, provided a close Jupiter gravity assist adds a velocity increment of 2.7 AU/yr. A transfer time of 23.8 yrs results for this scenario requiring about 450 kg Xe for the SEP stage, jettisoned at 3 AU. We interpret the SEP/REP propulsion as a competing alternative to solar sail and ballistic/REP propulsion.

A new steering strategy, controlling the solar sail with generic torques applied about the spacecraft body axes, is integrated into the existing low-thrust trajectory optimization software InTrance. This software combines artificial neural networks and evolutionary algorithms to find steering strategies close to the global optimum without an initial guess. Furthermore, we implement a three rotational degree-of-freedom rigid-body attitude dynamics model to represent the solar sail in space.

All propellers and rotors are initially twisted beams, showing significant extension-twist coupling and centrifugal twisting. Torsional deformations severely impact aerodynamic performance. This paper presents a novel approach to assess different reasons for torsional deformations. A reduced-order model runs large parameter sweeps with algebraic formulations and numerical solution procedures. Generic beams represent three different propeller types for General Aviation, Commercial Aviation, and Advanced Air Mobility. Simulations include solid and hollow cross-sections made of aluminum, steel, and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer. The investigation shows that centrifugal twisting moments depend on both the elastic and initial twist. The determination of the centrifugal twisting moment solely based on the initial twist suffers from errors exceeding 5\% in some cases. The nonlinear parts of the torsional rigidity do not significantly impact the overall torsional rigidity for the investigated propeller types. The extension-twist coupling related to the initial and elastic twist in combination with tension forces significantly impacts the net cross-sectional torsional loads. While the increase in torsional stiffness due to initial twist contributes to the overall stiffness for General and Commercial Aviation propellers, its contribution to the lift propeller's stiffness is limited. The paper closes with the presentation of approximations for each effect identified as significant. Numerical evaluations are necessary to determine each effect for inhomogeneous cross-sections made of anisotropic material.}, language = {en} } @article{WilsonBlomeLaFave1996, author = {Wilson, Thomas L and Blome, Hans-Joachim and LaFave, Norman}, title = {Astrophysical Cosmology Using a Lunar Ligo}, series = {Engineering, construction, and operations in space V : proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Space '96, Albuquerque, New Mexico, June 1-6, 1996 / sponsored by Aerospace Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers ...

Due to its different physical properties compared to other fuels such as natural gas, well established gas turbine combustion systems cannot be directly applied for Dry Low NOx (DLN) Hydrogen combustion. This makes the development of new combustion technologies an essential and challenging task for the future of hydrogen fueled gas turbines. The newly developed and successfully tested "DLN Micromix" combustion technology offers a great potential to burn hydrogen in gas turbines at very low NOx emissions. Aiming to further develop an existing burner design in terms of increased energy density, a redesign is required in order to stabilise the flames at higher mass flows and to maintain low emission levels. For this purpose, a systematic design exploration has been carried out with the support of CFD and optimisation tools to identify the interactions of geometrical and design parameters on the combustor performance. Aerodynamic effects as well as flame and emission formation are observed and understood time- and cost-efficiently. Correlations between single geometric values, the pressure drop of the burner and NOx production have been identified as a result.

A small-scale impact damage was introduced to the specimen and the structural response measurements were repeated. The proposed damage detection methodology is based on automated operational modal analysis. A novel baseline preparation procedure is described that reduces the amount of user interaction to the provision of a single consistency threshold. The procedure starts with an indeterminate number of operational modal analysis identifications from a large number of datasets and returns a complete baseline matrix of natural frequencies and damping ratios that is suitable for subsequent anomaly detection. Mahalanobis distance-based anomaly detection is then applied to successfully detect the damage under varying severities of operational variability and with various degrees of knowledge about the present operational conditions. The damage detection capabilities of the proposed methodology were found to be excellent under varying velocities and angles of attack.

To perform a simulation in three-dimensional terrain, numerical models require a digital elevation model, specification of avalanche release areas (spatial extent and volume), selection of solution methods, finding an adequate calculation resolution and, finally, the choice of friction parameters.

Obstacle avoidance algorithms either rely on global environment data or local sensor data. Local path planners react to unforeseen objects and plan purely on local sensor information. Similarly, animals need to find feasible paths based on local information about their surroundings. Therefore, their behavior is a valuable source of inspiration for path planning. Bumblebees tend to fly vertically over far-away obstacles and horizontally around close ones, implying two zones for different flight strategies depending on the distance to obstacles. This work enhances the local path planner 3DVFH* with this bio-inspired strategy. The algorithm alters the goal-driven function of the 3DVFH* to climb-preferring if obstacles are far away. Prior experiments with bumblebees led to two definitions of flight zone limits depending on the distance to obstacles, leading to two algorithm variants. Both variants reduce the probability of not reaching the goal of a 3DVFH* implementation in Matlab/Simulink. The best variant, 3DVFH*b-b, reduces this probability from 70.7 to 18.6\% in city-like worlds using a strong vertical evasion strategy. Energy consumption is higher, and flight paths are longer compared to the algorithm version with pronounced horizontal evasion tendency. A parameter study analyzes the effect of different weighting factors in the cost function. The best parameter combination shows a failure probability of 6.9\% in city-like worlds and reduces energy consumption by 28\%.

Recent advances in understanding the rheology of flowing snow and the mechanics of entrainment and deposition have made numerical models more reliable. Coupled with field observations and historical records, they are especially helpful in understanding avalanche flow in complex terrain. However, the application of numerical models poses several new challenges to avalanche engineers. A detailed understanding of the avalanche phenomena is required to specify initial conditions (release zone dimensions and snowcover entrainment rates) as well as the friction parameters, which are no longer based on empirical back-calculations, rather terrain roughness, vegetation and snow properties. In this paper we discuss these problems by presenting the computer model RAMMS, which was specially designed by the SLF as a practical tool for avalanche engineers. RAMMS solves the depth-averaged equations governing avalanche flow with first and second-order numerical solution schemes. A tremendous effort has been invested in the implementation of advanced input and output features. Simulation results are therefore clearly and easily visualized to simplify their interpretation. More importantly, RAMMS has been applied to a series of well-documented avalanches to gauge model performance.

But accidents - although they sometimes occurred only for a specific aircraft type - have to be avoided for any (new) aircraft. Because of existing aircraft without typical accident types having demonstrated their reliability, they are allowed to go on based on their old certification; although sometimes new rules prevent accident types which are not connected to specific aircraft types - like e.g. evacuation rules. Anyway, Concorde is allowed to fly based on its old certification, and hopefully in the future will fly as safely as in the past. But a new SCT has to fulfill updated rules like any other aircraft, and it has to be "just another aircraft" [75].}, language = {en} } @article{AyedKustererFunkeetal.2017, author = {Ayed, Anis Haj and Kusterer, Karsten and Funke, Harald and Keinz, Jan and Bohn, D.}, title = {CFD based exploration of the dry-low-NOx hydrogen micromix combustion technology at increased energy densities}, series = {Propulsion and Power Research}, volume = {6}, journal = {Propulsion and Power Research}, number = {1}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, isbn = {2212-540X}, doi = {10.1016/j.jppr.2017.01.005}, pages = {15 -- 24}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{AyedKustererFunkeetal.2016, author = {Ayed, Anis Haj and Kusterer, Karsten and Funke, Harald and Keinz, Jan}, title = {CFD Based Improvement of the DLN Hydrogen Micromix Combustion Technology at Increased Energy Densities}, series = {American Scientific Research Journal for Engineering, Technology, and Sciences (ASRJETS)}, volume = {26}, journal = {American Scientific Research Journal for Engineering, Technology, and Sciences (ASRJETS)}, number = {3}, publisher = {GSSRR}, issn = {2313-4402}, pages = {290 -- 303}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Combined with the use of renewable energy sources for its production, Hydrogen represents a possible alternative gas turbine fuel within future low emission power generation. Due to the large difference in the physical properties of Hydrogen compared to other fuels such as natural gas, well established gas turbine combustion systems cannot be directly applied for Dry Low NOx (DLN) Hydrogen combustion. Thus, the development of DLN combustion technologies is an essential and challenging task for the future of Hydrogen fuelled gas turbines. The DLN Micromix combustion principle for hydrogen fuel has been developed to significantly reduce NOx-emissions. This combustion principle is based on cross-flow mixing of air and gaseous hydrogen which reacts in multiple miniaturized diffusion-type flames. The major advantages of this combustion principle are the inherent safety against flash-back and the low NOx-emissions due to a very short residence time of reactants in the flame region of the micro-flames. The Micromix Combustion technology has been already proven experimentally and numerically for pure Hydrogen fuel operation at different energy density levels. The aim of the present study is to analyze the influence of different geometry parameter variations on the flame structure and the NOx emission and to identify the most relevant design parameters, aiming to provide a physical understanding of the Micromix flame sensitivity to the burner design and identify further optimization potential of this innovative combustion technology while increasing its energy density and making it mature enough for real gas turbine application. The study reveals great optimization potential of the Micromix Combustion technology with respect to the DLN characteristics and gives insight into the impact of geometry modifications on flame structure and NOx emission. This allows to further increase the energy density of the Micromix burners and to integrate this technology in industrial gas turbines.}, language = {en} } @incollection{DigelSadykovTemizArtmannetal.2015, author = {Digel, Ilya and Sadykov, R. and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l and Artmann, Gerhard}, title = {Changes in intestinal microflora in rats induced by oral exposure to low lead (II) concentrations}, series = {Lead Exposure and Poisoning: Clinical Symptoms, Medical Management and Preventive Strategies}, booktitle = {Lead Exposure and Poisoning: Clinical Symptoms, Medical Management and Preventive Strategies}, publisher = {Nova Science Publ.}, isbn = {9781634826990}, pages = {75 -- 99}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Beckmann2019, author = {Beckmann, Nils}, title = {Characterization of the hydrogen-dry-low-Nox-micromix-combustion-principle for hydrogen-methane fuel mixtures}, publisher = {RMIT University}, address = {Melbourne}, pages = {XV, 160 Seiten}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WeberTellisDuhovic2016, author = {Weber, Tobias and Tellis, Jane J. and Duhovic, Miro}, title = {Characterization of tool-part-interaction an interlaminar friction for manufacturing process simulation}, series = {ECCM 17, 17th European Conference on Composite Materials, M{\"u}nchen, DE, Jun 26-30, 2016}, booktitle = {ECCM 17, 17th European Conference on Composite Materials, M{\"u}nchen, DE, Jun 26-30, 2016}, isbn = {978-3-00-053387-7}, pages = {1 -- 7}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @incollection{DachwaldUlamecBiele2013, author = {Dachwald, Bernd and Ulamec, Stephan and Biele, Jens}, title = {Clean in situ subsurface exploration of icy environments in the solar system}, series = {Habitability of other planets and satellites. - (Cellular origin, life in extreme habitats and astrobiology ; 28)}, booktitle = {Habitability of other planets and satellites. - (Cellular origin, life in extreme habitats and astrobiology ; 28)}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Dordrecht}, isbn = {978-94-007-6545-0 (Druckausgabe)}, pages = {367 -- 397}, year = {2013}, abstract = {"To assess the habitability of the icy environments in the solar system, for example, on Mars, Europa, and Enceladus, the scientific analysis of material embedded in or underneath their ice layers is very important.

KHI, Aachen University of Applied Science, and B\&B-AGEMA have investigated the possibility of low NOx micro-mix hydrogen combustion and its application to an industrial gas turbine combustor.

These configurations are prone to whirl flutter, which is an aeroelastic instability affecting airframes with elastically supported propellers. It commonly needs to be mitigated already during the design phase of such configurations, requiring, among other things, unsteady aerodynamic transfer functions for the propeller. However, no comprehensive assessment of unsteady propeller aerodynamics for aeroelastic analysis is available in the literature. This paper provides a detailed comparison of nine different low- to mid-fidelity aerodynamic methods, demonstrating their impact on linear, unsteady aerodynamics, as well as whirl flutter stability prediction. Quasi-steady and unsteady methods for blade lift with or without coupling to blade element momentum theory are evaluated and compared to mid-fidelity potential flow solvers (UPM and DUST) and classical, derivative-based methods. Time-domain identification of frequency-domain transfer functions for the unsteady propeller hub loads is used to compare the different methods. Predictions of the minimum required pylon stiffness for stability show good agreement among the mid-fidelity methods. The differences in the stability predictions for the low-fidelity methods are higher.

The vehicle features a 160 kW engine with a maximum mean effective pressure of 22.4 bar and 34 \% savings in simulated fuel consumption. During the first stage, a new electrohydraulically actuated hybrid transmission with seven forward gears and one reverse gear and a single dry starting clutch will be integrated. The electric motor of the hybrid is directly connected to the gear set of the transmission. Utilizing the special gear set layout, the electric motor can provide boost during a change of gears, so that there is no interruption in traction. Therefore, the transmission system combines the advantages of a double clutch controlled gear change (gear change without an interruption in traction) with the efficient, cost-effective design of an automated manual transmission system. Additionally, the transmission provides a purely electric drive system and the operation of an air-conditioning compressor during the engine stop phases. One other alternative is through the use of CAI (Controlled Auto Ignition), which incorporates a process developed by FEV for controlled compression ignition.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GoettenFinger2019, author = {G{\"o}tten, Falk and Finger, Felix}, title = {Conceptual Design of a Modular 150 kg Vertical Take-off and Landing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle}, series = {Deutscher Luft- und Raumfahrtkongress - DLRK 2019.

Guided by a critical literature review, in this paper an overview of Health management systems classified in a scheme is presented, introducing commonly utilised methods to diagnose FCs in various applications. In this novel scheme, various Health management system methods are summarised and structured to provide an overview of existing systems including their associated tools. These systems are classified into four categories mainly focused on model-based and non-model-based systems. The individual methods are critically discussed when used individually or combined aimed at further understanding their functionality and suitability in different applications. Additionally, a tool is introduced to evaluate methods from each category based on the scheme presented. This tool applies the technique of matrix evaluation utilising several key parameters to identify the most appropriate methods for a given application. Based on this evaluation, the most suitable methods for each specific application are combined to build an integrated Health management system.}, language = {en} } @article{GerhardtKonrathLieb2005, author = {Gerhardt, Hans Joachim and Konrath, B. and Lieb, R.-D.}, title = {Das Drallrohr}, series = {HLH : L{\"u}ftung, Klima, Heizung, Sanit{\"a}r, Geb{\"a}udetechnik. 56 (2005), H. 11}, journal = {HLH : L{\"u}ftung, Klima, Heizung, Sanit{\"a}r, Geb{\"a}udetechnik. 56 (2005), H. 11}, isbn = {1436-5103}, pages = {91 -- 95}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @article{WittmannKehrWillnecker2000, author = {Wittmann, Klaus and Kehr, J. and Willnecker, R.}, title = {Decentralized Payload Operations Concept for Columbus}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @article{SchmitzDamannSchmit1984, author = {Schmitz, G{\"u}nter and Damann, H. and Schmit, H.

Previous SPT design concepts, however, do not consider shadowing effects and multiple reflections of highly concentrated solar radiation that would inevitably destroy the gossamer sail film. In this paper, we propose a novel advanced SPT (ASPT) design concept that does not suffer from these oversimplifications. We present the equations that describe the thrust force acting on such a sail system and compare its performance with respect to the conventional flat solar sail.}, language = {en} }
