One way of doing this is by using heated melting probes. In their common form these devices experience a straight one-dimensional downwards motion and can be modeled by standard close-contact melting theory. A recently developed melting probe however, the IceMole, achieves maneuverability by simultaneously applying a surface temperature gradient to induce a change in melting direction and controlling the effective contact-force by means of an ice screw to stabilize its change in attitude. A modeling framework for forced curvilinear melting does not exist so far and will be the content of this paper. At first, we will extend the existing theory for quasi-stationary close-contact melting to curved trajectories. We do this by introducing a rotational mode. This additional unknown in the system implies yet the need for another model closure. Within this new framework we will focus on the effect of a variable contact-force as well as different surface temperature profiles. In order to solve for melting velocity and curvature of the melting path we present both an inverse solution strategy for the analytical model, and a more general finite element framework implemented into the open source software package ELMER. Model results are discussed and compared to experimental data conducted in laboratory tests.}, language = {de} } @article{StadlerGarveyEmbsetal.2014, author = {Stadler, Alexander Maximilian and Garvey, Christopher J. and Embs, Jan Peter and Koza, Michael Marek and Unruh, Tobias and Artmann, Gerhard and Zaccai, Guiseppe}, title = {Picosecond dynamics in haemoglobin from different species: A quasielastic neutron scattering study}, series = {Biochimica et biophysica acta (BBA): General Subjects}, volume = {1840}, journal = {Biochimica et biophysica acta (BBA): General Subjects}, number = {10}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1872-8006 (E-Journal); 0304-4165 (Print)}, doi = {10.1016/j.bbagen.2014.06.007}, pages = {2989 -- 2999}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @article{MathiakPlescherWillnecker2005, author = {Mathiak, Gerhard and Plescher, Engelbert and Willnecker, Rainer}, title = {Liquid metal diffusion experiments in microgravity - Vibrational effects}, series = {Measurement science and technology}, volume = {Vol. 16}, journal = {Measurement science and technology}, number = {No. 2}, issn = {0957-0233}, doi = {10.1088/0957-0233/16/2/003}, pages = {336}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @article{MathiakWillneckerPlescher2005, author = {Mathiak, Gerhard and Willnecker, Rainer and Plescher, Engelbert}, title = {Vibrational effects on diffusion experiments}, series = {Microgravity science and technology : international journal for microgravity research and applications}, volume = {Vol. 15}, journal = {Microgravity science and technology : international journal for microgravity research and applications}, number = {No. 1}, issn = {0938-0108}, pages = {295 -- 300}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @article{HoevelerJanserBindewaldetal.2015, author = {Hoeveler, Bastian and Janser, Frank and Bindewald, Thorsten and Gebhardt, Andreas}, title = {Entwurf, Fertigung und Untersuchung eines Windkanalmodells eines innovativen, senkrechtstartenden Kleinflugzeuges}, series = {RTejournal - Forum f{\"u}r Rapid Technologie}, journal = {RTejournal - Forum f{\"u}r Rapid Technologie}, number = {12}, publisher = {Fachhochschule Aachen}, address = {Aachen}, issn = {1614-0923}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0009-2-42921}, pages = {1 -- 5}, year = {2015}, language = {de} } @article{FunkeBeckmann2022, author = {Funke, Harald and Beckmann, Nils}, title = {Flexible fuel operation of a Dry-Low-NOx Micromix Combustor with Variable Hydrogen Methane Mixture}, series = {International Journal of Gas Turbine, Propulsion and Power Systems}, volume = {13}, journal = {International Journal of Gas Turbine, Propulsion and Power Systems}, number = {2}, issn = {1882-5079}, pages = {1 -- 7}, year = {2022}, abstract = {The role of hydrogen (H2) as a carbon-free energy carrier is discussed since decades for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Propeller sweep and high aspect ratios increase elasticity and coupling of structural mechanics and aerodynamics, affecting the propeller performance and noise. Therefore, this paper analyzes the influence of elasticity on forward-swept, backward-swept, and unswept propellers in hover conditions. A reduced-order blade element momentum approach is coupled with a one-dimensional Timoshenko beam theory and Farassat's formulation 1A. The results of the aeroelastic simulation are used as input for the aeroacoustic calculation. The analysis shows that elasticity influences noise radiation because thickness and loading noise respond differently to deformations. In the case of the backward-swept propeller, the location of the maximum sound pressure level shifts forward by 0.5 °, while in the case of the forward-swept propeller, it shifts backward by 0.5 °. Therefore, aeroacoustic optimization requires the consideration of propeller deformation.}, language = {en} } @article{PeloniDachwaldCeriotti2017, author = {Peloni, Alessandro and Dachwald, Bernd and Ceriotti, Matteo}, title = {Multiple near-earth asteroid rendezvous mission: Solar-sailing options}, series = {Advances in Space Research}, journal = {Advances in Space Research}, number = {In Press, Corrected Proof}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0273-1177}, doi = {10.1016/j.asr.2017.10.017}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{DachwaldSeboldtLoebetal.2008, author = {Dachwald, Bernd and Seboldt, Wolfgang and Loeb, H.

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.

However, no studies have been published where OMA is tested in transonic flows, which is the dominant condition for large civil aircraft and is characterized by complex and unique aerodynamic phenomena. We use data from the HIRENASD large-scale wind tunnel experiment to automatically extract modal parameters from an ambiently excited wing operated in the transonic regime using two OMA methods: Stochastic Subspace Identification (SSI) and Frequency Domain Decomposition (FDD). The system response is evaluated based on accelerometer measurements. The excitation is investigated from surface pressure measurements. The forcing function is shown to be non-white, non-stationary and contaminated by narrow-banded transonic disturbances. All these properties violate fundamental OMA assumptions about the forcing function. Despite this, all physical modes in the investigated frequency range were successfully identified, and in addition transonic pressure waves were identified as physical modes as well. The SSI method showed superior identification capabilities for the investigated case. The investigation shows that complex transonic flows can interfere with OMA. This can make existing approaches for modal tracking unsuitable for their application to aircraft wings operated in the transonic flight regime. Approaches to separate the true physical modes from the transonic disturbances are discussed.}, language = {en} }
