Recent discoveries of deep oceans on icy moons like Europa and Enceladus have spurred an intensive discussion about how these waters can be accessed. The challenge of this endeavor lies in the unforeseeable requirements on instrumental characteristics both with respect to the scientific and technical methods. The TRIPLE/nanoAUV initiative is aiming at developing a mission concept for exploring exo-oceans and demonstrating the achievements in an earth-analogue context, exploring the ocean under the ice shield of Antarctica and lakes like Dome-C on the Antarctic continent.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RendonDieckmannWeidleetal.2018, author = {Rendon, Carlos and Dieckmann, Simon and Weidle, Mathias and Dersch, J{\"u}rgen and Teixeira Boura, Cristiano Jos{\´e} and Polklas, Thomas and Kuschel, Marcus and Herrmann, Ulf}, title = {Retrofitting of existing parabolic trough collector power plants with molten salt tower systems}, series = {AIP Conference Proceedings}, volume = {2033}, booktitle = {AIP Conference Proceedings}, number = {1}, doi = {10.1063/1.5067030}, pages = {030014-1 -- 030014-8}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PfaffMelcherFranzen2018, author = {Pfaff, Raphael and Melcher, Karin and Franzen, Julian}, title = {Rare event simulation to optimise maintenance intervals of safety critical redundant subsystems}, series = {Proceedings of the European Conference of the PHM Society}, volume = {4}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the European Conference of the PHM Society}, number = {1}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HarzheimHeuermann2018, author = {Harzheim, Thomas and Heuermann, Holger}, title = {Phase Repeatable Synthesizers as a New Harmonic Phase Standard for Nonlinear Network Analysis}, series = {IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques}, booktitle = {IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques}, publisher = {IEEE}, doi = {10.1109/TMTT.2018.2817513}, pages = {1 -- 8}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BhattaraiStaat2018, author = {Bhattarai, Aroj and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Pectopexy to repair vaginal vault prolapse: a finite element approach}, series = {Proceedings CMBBE 2018}, booktitle = {Proceedings CMBBE 2018}, editor = {Fernandes, P.R. and Tavares, J. M.}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The vaginal prolapse after hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) is often associated with the prolapse of the vaginal vault, rectum, bladder, urethra or small bowel. Minimally invasive surgery such as laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy and pectopexy are widely performed for the treatment of the vaginal prolapse with weakly supported vaginal vault after hysterectomy using prosthetic mesh implants to support (or strengthen) lax apical ligaments. Implants of different shape, size and polymers are selected depending on the patient's anatomy and the surgeon's preference. In this computational study on pectopexy, DynaMesh®-PRP soft, GYNECARE GYNEMESH® PS Nonabsorbable PROLENE® soft and Ultrapro® are tested in a 3D finite element model of the female pelvic floor. The mesh model is implanted into the extraperitoneal space and sutured to the vaginal stump with a bilateral fixation to the iliopectineal ligament at both sides. Numerical simulations are conducted at rest, after surgery and during Valsalva maneuver with weakened tissues modeled by reduced tissue stiffness. Tissues and prosthetic meshes are modeled as incompressible, isotropic hyperelastic materials. The positions of the organs are calculated with respect to the pubococcygeal line (PCL) for female pelvic floor at rest, after repair and during Valsalva maneuver using the three meshes.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{LeiseAltherr2018, author = {Leise, Philipp and Altherr, Lena}, title = {Optimizing the design and control of decentralized water supply systems - a case-study of a hotel building}, series = {EngOpt 2018 Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Engineering Optimization}, booktitle = {EngOpt 2018 Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Engineering Optimization}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-97773-7}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-97773-7_107}, pages = {1241 -- 1252}, year = {2018}, abstract = {To increase pressure to supply all floors of high buildings with water, booster stations, normally consisting of several parallel pumps in the basement, are used.

Using domain-specific scaling laws and Latin Hypercube Sampling, we generate different input sets of pump types and compare their impact on the efficiency and cost of the total system design.

Their scientific background ranges from mechanical engineering and computer science to social sciences such as sociology and psychology. In addition to content- and methodbased challenges, the CoE's employees are faced with heterogenic organizational cultures, different hierarchical levels, an imbalanced gender distribution, and a high employee fluctuation. The sub-project Scientific Cooperation Engineering 1 (CSP1) addresses the challenge of interdisciplinary cooperation and organizational learning and aims at fostering interdisciplinarity and its synergies as a source of innovation. Therefore, the project examines means of reaching an organizational development, ranging from temporal structures to a sustainable network in production technology. To achieve this aim, a broad range of means has been developed during the last twelve years: In addition to physical measures such as regular network events and trainings, virtual measures such as the Terminology App were focused. The app is an algorithmic analysis method for uncovering latent topic structures of publications of the CoE to highlight thematic intersections and synergy potentials. The detection and promotion of has been a vital and long known element in knowledge management. Furthermore, CSP1 focusses on project management and thus developed evaluation tools to measure and control the success of interdisciplinary cooperation. In addition to the cooperation fostering measures, CSP1 conducted studies about interdisciplinarity and diversity and their relationship with innovation. The scientific background of these means and the research results of CSP1 are outlined in this paper to offer approaches for successful interdisciplinary cooperation management.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MarinkovicButenweg2018, author = {Marinkovic, Marko and Butenweg, Christoph}, title = {Innovative System for Earthquake Resistant Masonry Infill Walls}, series = {16th European Conference on Earthquake Engineering, Thessaloniki, 18-21 June, 2018}, booktitle = {16th European Conference on Earthquake Engineering, Thessaloniki, 18-21 June, 2018}, pages = {1 -- 12}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FingerGoettenBraun2018, author = {Finger, Felix and G{\"o}tten, Falk and Braun, Carsten}, title = {Initial Sizing for a Family of Hybrid-Electric VTOL General Aviation Aircraft}, series = {67.
