An equivalent macro-element constituted by a set of six trusses, two for each transverse, longitudinal and diagonal direction, is introduced. The equivalent trusses, whose stiffness is calculated by fully modeled vaults of different geometry, mechanical properties and boundary conditions, simulate the vault in both global analysis and local analysis, such as kinematic or rocking approaches. A parametric study was carried out to investigate the influence of geometrical characteristics and mechanical features on the equivalent stiffness values. The method was numerically validated by performing modal and transient analysis on a three naves-church in the elastic range. Vibration modes and displacement time-histories were compared showing satisfying agreement between the complete and the simplified models. This procedure is particularly useful in engineering practice because it allows to assess, in a simplified way, the effectiveness of strengthening interventions for reducing horizontal relative displacements between vault supports.}, language = {en} } @article{KerpenBungValeroetal.2017, author = {Kerpen, Nils B. and Bung, Daniel Bernhard and Valero, Daniel and Schlurmann, Torsten}, title = {Energy dissipation within the wave run-up at stepped revetments}, series = {Journal of Ocean University of China}, volume = {16}, journal = {Journal of Ocean University of China}, number = {4}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1993-5021}, doi = {10.1007/s11802-017-3355-z}, pages = {649 -- 654}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{WoliszSchuetzBlankeetal.2017, author = {Wolisz, Henryk and Sch{\"u}tz, Thomas and Blanke, Tobias and Hagenkamp, Markus and Kohrn, Markus and Wesseling, Mark and M{\"u}ller, Dirk}, title = {Cost optimal sizing of smart buildings' energy system components considering changing end-consumer electricity markets}, series = {Energy}, volume = {137}, journal = {Energy}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, doi = {10.1016/j.energy.2017.06.025}, pages = {715 -- 728}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{ButenwegRosinHoller2017, author = {Butenweg, Christoph and Rosin, Julia and Holler, Stefan}, title = {Analysis of cylindrical granular material silos under seismic excitation}, series = {Buildings}, volume = {7}, journal = {Buildings}, number = {3}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2075-5309}, doi = {10.3390/buildings7030061}, pages = {1 -- 12}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Silos generally work as storage structures between supply and demand for various goods, and their structural safety has long been of interest to the civil engineering profession. This is especially true for dynamically loaded silos, e.g., in case of seismic excitation. Particularly thin-walled cylindrical silos are highly vulnerable to seismic induced pressures, which can cause critical buckling phenomena of the silo shell. The analysis of silos can be carried out in two different ways. In the first, the seismic loading is modeled through statically equivalent loads acting on the shell. Alternatively, a time history analysis might be carried out, in which nonlinear phenomena due to the filling as well as the interaction between the shell and the granular material are taken into account. The paper presents a comparison of these approaches. The model used for the nonlinear time history analysis considers the granular material by means of the intergranular strain approach for hypoplasticity theory. The interaction effects between the granular material and the shell is represented by contact elements. Additionally, soil-structure interaction effects are taken into account.}, language = {en} } @article{SteuerDankertSharmaBlecketal.2017, author = {Steuer-Dankert, Linda and Sharma, Mamta Rameshwarlal and Bleck, Wolfgang and Leicht-Scholten, Carmen}, title = {Diversity and innovation management in large research groups}, series = {International Journal of Innovation Management}, volume = {5}, journal = {International Journal of Innovation Management}, number = {2}, issn = {1757-5877}, pages = {49 -- 72}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Contemporary research appreciates a diverse workforce as a potential source of innovation. Researchers explore the fine details of why diversity management is central for generating innovations in heterogeneous research groups and how it could be effectively implemented into organizations. Complex research associations that discuss topics with a high impact on society increasingly address the necessity of establishing a diverse workforce to confront the challenges of tomorrow. Characterized by complex management structures as well as hierarchies, research associations have not been a subject of investigation until now. For this reason, the presented research project aims to develop a diversity and innovation management strategy with the ultimate goal of inducing change in the corporate culture. The proposed approach consisted of six phases; the first two phases investigated the status quo of diversity in the existing organizational structures of member institutes and the variety of particular working cultures within the research association. The third and the fourth phases utilized qualitative and quantitative studies. The third phase focused on the connection of management level to diversity and innovation, and the need for diversity and innovation management, and tailor-made methods of implementing them. The first three phases have been accomplished successfully; preliminary results are already available. The fourth phase will mainly focus on exploring the mind-set of the employees. The fifth phase will consolidate the findings in the first four phases into an implementable strategy. The final phase will address the implementation of this strategy into the organization.

In this paper, we report on ion transport and changes in flat-band potential in EIS sensors made with layer-by-layer films containing poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) adsorbed on p-Si/SiO 2 /Ta 2 O 5 chips with an Al ohmic contact. The impedance spectra were fitted using an equivalent circuit model, from which we could determine parameters such as the double-layer capacitance. This capacitance decreased with the number of bilayers owing to space charge accumulated at the electrolyte-insulator interface, up to three PAMAM/SWNTs bilayers, after which it stabilized. The charge-transfer resistance was also minimum for three bilayers, thus indicating that this is the ideal architecture for an optimized EIS performance.

For this purpose, 3D-printed multi-chamber structures were developed and mounted on the planar sensor-chip surface to define four independent compartments, enabling differential measurements with varying cell concentrations.
