TY - CHAP A1 - Pirovano, Laura A1 - Seefeldt, Patric A1 - Dachwald, Bernd A1 - Noomen, Ron T1 - Attitude and orbital modeling of an uncontrolled solar-sail experiment in low-Earth orbit T2 - 25th International Symposium on Space Flight Dynamics ISSFD N2 - Gossamer-1 is the first project of the three-step Gossamer roadmap, the purpose of which is to develop, prove and demonstrate that solar-sail technology is a safe and reliable propulsion technique for long-lasting and high-energy missions. This paper firstly presents the structural analysis performed on the sail to understand its elastic behavior. The results are then used in attitude and orbital simulations. The model considers the main forces and torques that a satellite experiences in low-Earth orbit coupled with the sail deformation. Doing the simulations for varying initial conditions in attitude and rotation rate, the results show initial states to avoid and maximum rotation rates reached for correct and faulty deployment of the sail. Lastly comparisons with the classic flat sail model are carried out to test the hypothesis that the elastic behavior does play a role in the attitude and orbital behavior of the sail KW - Solar sail KW - Gossamer structures KW - Attitude dynamics KW - Orbital dynamics Y1 - 2015 N1 - 25th International Symposium on Space Flight Dynamics ISSFD October 19 – 23, 2015, Munich, Germany https://issfd.org/2015/ SP - 1 EP - 15 ER - TY - CHAP A1 - Steuer-Dankert, Linda A1 - Berg, Tobias A1 - Leicht-Scholten, Carmen T1 - Breaking the habit – new approaches in engineering education T2 - Proceedings of the 43rd Annual Conference of the European Society for Engineering Education N2 - Within the framework of the project a genderand diversity-oriented teaching evaluation and modern, media-supported blended learning approaches were used in order to achieve the intended goals. First research results of the literature and status quo analysis were already implemented and tested in newly designed teaching approaches, for example in a multidisciplinary introductory lecture of civil engineering at RWTH Aachen University.

T1 - As good as it can be: Ventilation system design by a combined scaling and discrete optimization method T2 - Proceedings of FAN 2015 N2 - The understanding that optimized components do not automatically lead to energy-efficient systems sets the attention from the single component on the entire technical system. At TU Darmstadt, a new field of research named Technical Operations Research (TOR) has its origin. It combines mathematical and technical know-how for the optimal design of technical systems. We illustrate our optimization approach in a case study for the design of a ventilation system with the ambition to minimize the energy consumption for a temporal distribution of diverse load demands. By combining scaling laws with our optimization methods we find the optimal combination of fans and show the advantage of the use of multiple fans.
