An experimental setup was designed to determine the native kinematics of the elbow during flexion of cadaveric arms. As a preliminary study, data from literature was used to modify a published biomechanical model for the calculation of the joint and muscle forces. They were compared to the original model and the effect of the kinematic refinement was evaluated. Furthermore, the obtained muscle forces were determined in order to apply them in the experimental setup. The joint forces in the modified model differed slightly from the forces in the original model. The muscle force curves changed particularly for small flexion angles but their magnitude for larger angles was consistent.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchulzeMuehleisenFeyerl2018, author = {Schulze, Sven and M{\"u}hleisen, M. and Feyerl, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Adaptive energy management strategy for a heavy-duty truck with a P2-hybrid topology}, series = {18.

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{BindzusBragard2018, author = {Bindzus, Manuel and Bragard, Michael}, title = {Motivating Intuitive Understanding of the Switched Reluctance Machine in the Education of Undergraduate Students}, series = {2018 IEEE 59th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)}, booktitle = {2018 IEEE 59th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)}, isbn = {978-1-5386-6903-7}, doi = {10.1109/RTUCON.2018.8659870}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BragardHoekHoegenetal.2018, author = {Bragard, Michael and Hoek, Hauke van and Hoegen, Anne von and Doncker, Rik W.

Generally masonry infills are considered as nonstructural elements and thus are typically neglected in the design process. However, the observations made after strong earthquakes have shown that masonry infills can modify the dynamic behavior of the structure significantly. The consequences were total collapses of buildings and loss of human lives. This paper presents the new system INODIS (Innovative Decoupled Infill System) developed within the European research project INSYSME (Innovative Systems for Earthquake Resistant Masonry Enclosures in RC Buildings). INODIS decouples the frame and the masonry infill by means of special U-shaped rubbers placed in between frame and infill. The effectiveness of the system was investigated by means of full scale tests on RC frames with masonry infills subjected to in-plane and out-of-plane loading. Furthermore small specimen tests were conducted to determine material characteristics of the components and the resistances of the connections. Finally, a micromodel was developed to simulate the in-plane behavior of RC frames infilled with AAC blocks with and without installation of the INODIS system.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HansenLaack2018, author = {Hansen, Frank and Laack, Walter van}, title = {Schnittstelle Tod: Sind Religionen religi{\"o}s und Wissenschaften wissend?}, publisher = {van Laack GmbH}, address = {Aachen}, isbn = {978-3-936624-36-6}, pages = {172 S.}, year = {2018}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{BueckingPfaffDirksmeier2018, author = {B{\"u}cking, Henrik and Pfaff, Raphael and Dirksmeier, Roger}, title = {Sensor positioning and thermal model for condition monitoring of pressure gas reservoirs in vehicles}, series = {Proceedings of the Fourth European Conference of the Prognostics and Health Management Society, Utrecht, Netherlands, 2018}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Fourth European Conference of the Prognostics and Health Management Society, Utrecht, Netherlands, 2018}, pages = {5 Seiten}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GaoBabilonPfaffetal.2018, author = {Gao, H. and Babilon, Katharina and Pfaff, Raphael and Gan, F. and Reich, A.}, title = {Model of wheel-rail contact for sanding and adhesion enhancement}, series = {Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Contact Mechanics and Wear of Rail/wheel Systems, CM 2018}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Contact Mechanics and Wear of Rail/wheel Systems, CM 2018}, isbn = {978-946186963-0}, pages = {314 -- 321}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Pfaff2018, author = {Pfaff, Raphael}, title = {Railway Challenge 2018 - Ein Wettbewerb f{\"u}r Parkbahn-Lokomotiven}, series = {Deine Bahn}, booktitle = {Deine Bahn}, issn = {0948-7263}, pages = {22 -- 24}, year = {2018}, language = {de} } @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} }
