TY - CHAP A1 - Platen, Johannes A1 - Poghossian, Arshak A1 - Schöning, Michael Josef T1 - Microstructured Nanostructures – nanostructuring by means of conventional photolithography and layer-expansion technique N2 - A new and simple method for nanostructuring using conventional photolithography and layer expansion or pattern-size reduction technique is presented, which can further be applied for the fabrication of different nanostructures and nano-devices. The method is based on the conversion of a photolithographically patterned metal layer to a metal-oxide mask with improved pattern-size resolution using thermal oxidation. With this technique, the pattern size can be scaled down to several nanometer dimensions. The proposed method is experimentally demonstrated by preparing nanostructures with different configurations and layouts, like circles, rectangles, trapezoids, “fluidic-channel”-, “cantilever”- and meander-type structures.

The fabrication of the Gunn diode chips was based on total substrate removal and processing of integrated Au heat sinks. Especially, the thermal and RF behavior of the diodes have been analyzed by DC, impedance and S-parameter measurements. The electrical investigations have revealed the functionality of the hot electron injector.

The integration of optical and electro-optical accessories, according to suggested methods, can improve the performance of fluorescence imaging. It can boost the signal to background ratio by a few orders of magnitudes in comparison to conventional discrete setups. The methods that are present in this paper are oriented towards building reproducible arrays for high-throughput micro total analysis systems (µTAS). The first method relates to side illumination of the fluorescent material placed into microcompartments of the lab-on-chip. Its significance is in high utilization of excitation energy for low concentration of fluorescent material. The utilization of a transparent µLED chip, for the second method, allows the placement of the excitation light sources on the same optical axis with emission detector, such that the excitation and emission rays are directed controversly. The third method presents a spatial filtering of the excitation background.

T1 - High frequency quartz micro balances: a promising path to enhanced sensitivity of gravimetric sensors N2 - An array of 50 MHz quartz microbalances (QMBs) coated with a dendronized polymer was used to detect small amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the gas phase. The results were compared to those obtained with the commonly used 10 MHz QMBs. The 50 MHz QMBs proved to be a powerful tool for the detection of VOCs in the gas phase; therefore, they represent a promising alternative to the much more delicate surface acoustic wave devices (SAWs).

In this study, a single piezoelectric quartz crystal nanobalance modified with polystyrene was employed to detect benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX compounds). The frequency shift of the QCN sensor was found to be linear against the BTEX compound concentrations in the range about 1-45 mg l-1. The correlation coefficients for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene were 0.991, 0.9977, 0.9946 and 0.9971, respectively. The principal component analysis was also utilized to process the frequency response data of the single piezoelectric crystal at different times, considering to the different adsorption-desorption dynamics of BTEX compounds. Using principal component analysis, it was found that over 90% of the data variance could still be explained by use of two principal components (PC1 and PC2). Subsequently, the successful identification of benzene and toluene was possible through the principal component analysis of the transient responses of the polystyrene modified QCN sensor. The results showed that the polystyrene-modified QCN had favorable identification and quantification performances for the BTEX compounds.

Nitrogen physisorption shows specific surface areas up to 160 m2·g-1 and mean pore diameters of about 4 nm, as verified by TEM. The film conductance was measured in dependence on the CO concentration in humid synthetic air at a constant temperature of 300 °C.

The polymer membrane was impregnated with tetra-ammine platinum chloride hydrate and the metal ions were subsequently reduced by using either sodium tetrahydroborate or potassium tetrahydroborate. The hydrogen sensing characteristics with air as reference gas is reported. The sensors were capable of detecting hydrogen concentrations from 10 ppm to 10% in nitrogen.

This paper addresses the issue of data analysis for identification of gases in a gas sensor array. We introduce a software tool for gas sensor array configuration and simulation. It concerns thereby about a modular software package for the acquisition of data of different sensors. A signal evaluation algorithm referred to as matrix method was used specifically for the software tool. This matrix method computes the gas concentrations from the signals of a sensor array. The software tool was used for the simulation of an array of five sensors to determine gas concentration of CH4, NH3, H2, CO and C2H5OH. The results of the present simulated sensor array indicate that the software tool is capable of the following: (a) identify a gas independently of its concentration; (b) estimate the concentration of the gas, even if the system was not previously exposed to this concentration; (c) tell when a gas concentration exceeds a certain value. A gas sensor data base was build for the configuration of the software. With the data base one can create, generate and manage scenarios and source files for the simulation. With the gas sensor data base and the simulation software an on-line Web-based version was developed, with which the user can configure and simulate sensor arrays on-line.

Damit verbunden sind hohe Kosten für die Errichtung und den Betrieb der speziellen Laborräume und ihre häufig geringe Verfügbarkeit für die Studierenden. Zukünftige Ingenieure sammeln während ihrer Ausbildung aus diesen Gründen nur in beschränktem Umfang praktische Erfahrungen. Die Industrie hingegen fordert Personal mit hoher fachlicher Kompetenz, also fundiertem theoretischen Wissen und umfangreichen praktischen Kenntnissen. Dieser Diskrepanz – qualifizierte Ingenieure auf der einen Seite und eine eher theoretisch ausgerichtete Ausbildung auf der anderen Seite – wird mit einem neuen Blended-Learning-Konzept für MST-Technologiepraktika begegnet. Lernende werden über ein virtuelles Labor, das einen echten Reinraum mit realen Anlagen simuliert, intensiv auf reale Laborpraktika vorbereitet. Dabei geht es im virtuellen Labor gleichermaßen um die Vermittlung von Theorie und Praxis. Nur trainierte Teilnehmer mit einer intensiven Vorbereitung sind in der Lage, relativ eigenständig ein echtes MST-Bauteil innerhalb des anschließenden einwöchigen Laborkurses zu fertigen. Die Wirksamkeit des Konzeptes und die Steigerung des Lernerfolges durch die kombinierten virtuellen und realen Laborkurse wurden im Rahmen der Dissertation begleitend untersucht. Die Ergebnisse flossen direkt in die Weiterentwicklung der Technologiepraktika ein. Die Konzepte und Erkenntnisse sind zudem sehr interessant für die Entwicklung von Blended-Learning-Angeboten in ähnlichen oder anderen Fachgebieten sowie für weitere Bildungseinrichtungen. (Die Dissertation liegt hier in 2 Fassungen vor: Die Originalfassung ist nur bei guter Rechnerausstattung und guter Netzanbindung nutzbar, die konvertierte Fassung ist unverändert, allerdings sind Qualitätseinbußen beim Ausdruck einiger Grafiken möglich) N2 - Education in high technologies, like e.g. Microsystems technology, is usually characterized by a high degree of complexity. In addition it is usually connected with large economic efforts for invest, operation and maintenance of the special laboratory facilities. The access to such facilities for educational purposes is often quite limited. Therefore engineering students rather rarely gather practical experience in such technologies during their university studies. In contrast, industry has a large demand for engineers with high professional competence, i.e. profound theoretical knowledge combined with substantial practical experience. The newly developed blended learning concept for MST laboratory training tries to bridge the gap between the need for qualified engineers and the more theoretical university education. The learners prepare intensively for real hands-on clean room trainings with a virtual technology laboratory, i.e. a computer simulation of the clean room machines and the corresponding processes. In the virtual technology laboratory the students brush up their theoretical knowledge and at the same time learn to operate the complex clean room machines. Only well trained and intensively prepared students are capable to produce a fully functional MST component within a compact clean room laboratory course of only one week duration and an only modest amount of supervision. The effectivity of this concept and the increase of the learning success due to the specific mixture of virtual and real laboratory sessions has been accompanied and analysed by this dissertation. The results have been used to further improve the laboratory courses. Concepts and results are also very attractive for comparable blended learning proposals in other technical disciplines.

T1 - How to determine the permeability for cement infiltration into osteoporotic cancellous bone JF - Medical Engineering & Physics. 25 (2003), H. 4 N2 - Cement augmentation is an emerging surgical procedure in which bone cement is used to infiltrate and reinforce osteoporotic vertebrae. Although this infiltration procedure has been widely applied, it is performed empirically and little is known about the flow characteristics of cement during the injection process. We present a theoretical and experimental approach to investigate the intertrabecular bone permeability during the infiltration procedure. The cement permeability was considered to be dependent on time, bone porosity, and cement viscosity in our analysis. In order to determine the time-dependent permeability, ten cancellous bone cores were harvested from osteoporotic vertebrae, infiltrated with acrylic cement at a constant flow rate, and the pressure drop across the cores during the infiltration was measured. The viscosity dependence of the permeability was determined based on published experimental data. The theoretical model for the permeability as a function of bone porosity and time was then fit to the testing data. Our findings suggest that the intertrabecular bone permeability depends strongly on time. For instance, the initial permeability (60.89 mm4/N.s) reduced to approximately 63% of its original value within 18 seconds. This study is the first to analyze cement flow through osteoporotic bone. The theoretical and experimental models provided in this paper are generic. Thus, they can be used to systematically study and optimize the infiltration process for clinical practice.

The method is based on a mixture theory. A careful observation of the behaviour of the bone material leads to the hypothesis that the bone density is controlled by the principal stress trajectories (Wolff’s law). The basic idea of the developed method is the coupling of a scalar value via an eigenvalue problem to the principal stress trajectories. On the one hand this theory will permit a prediction of the reaction of the biological bone structure after the implantation of a prosthesis, on the other hand it may be useful in engineering optimization problems. An analytical example shows its efficiency.

A precise answer is most simply given by limit and shakedown analysis. These methods can be based on static and kinematic theorems for lower and upper bound analysis. Both may be formulated as optimization problems for finite element discretizations of structures. The problems of large-scale analysis and the extension towards realistic material modelling will be solved in a European research project. Limit and shakedown analyses are briefly demonstrated with illustrative examples.

One observation from the examples is, that the optimisation approach gives reliable and close lower bound solutions leading to simple and optimised design decision.

The elasto–plastic behavior of the structure subjected to loads varying in a given load domain is characterized by the shakedown load factor, defined as the maximum factor which satisfies the sufficient conditions stated in the corresponding static shakedown theorem. The finite element dicretization of the problem may lead to very large convex optimization. For the effective solution a basis reduction method has been developed that makes use of the special problem structure for perfectly plastic material. The paper proposes a modified basis reduction method for direct application to the two-surface plasticity model of bounded kinematic hardening material. The considered numerical examples show an enlargement of the load carrying capacity due to bounded hardening.

To this end it is important to make a clear distinction between the shakedown range and the ratchetting range. The performed experiment comprised a hollow tension specimen which was subjected to alternating axial forces, superimposed with constant moments. First, a series of uniaxial tests has been carried out in order to calibrate a bounded kinematic hardening rule. The load parameters have been selected on the basis of previous shakedown analyses with the PERMAS code using a kinematic hardening material model. It is shown that this shakedown analysis gives reasonable agreement between the experimental and the numerical results. A linear and a nonlinear kinematic hardening model of two-surface plasticity are compared in material shakedown analysis.

This paper presents the direct route in the language of limit and shakedown analysis. This approach leads to an optimization problem. Its solution with Finite Element Analysis is demonstrated for mechanical and thermal actions. One observation from the examples is that the so-called 3f (3Sm) criterion fails to be a reliable check against progressive plastic deformation. Precise conditions are given, which greatly restrict the applicability of the 3f criterion.

FEM suggests that published long crack limit formulae for axial defects under-estimate the burst pressure for internal surface defects in thick pipes while limit loads are not conservative for deep cracks and for pressure loaded crack-faces. Very deep cracks have a residual strength, which is modelled by a global collapse load. These observations are combined to derive new analytical local and global collapse loads. The global collapse loads are close to FEM limit analyses for all crack dimensions.

To this end it is important to make a clear distintion between the shakedown range and the ratcheting range (continuing deformation). As part of an EU-supported research project, experiments were carried out using a 4-bar model. The experiment comprised a water-cooled internal tube, and three insulated heatable outer test bars. The system was subjected to alternating axial forces, superimposed with alternating temperatures at the outer bars. The test parameters were partly selected on the basis of previous shakedown analyses. During the test, temperatures and strains were measured as a function of time. The loads and the resulting stresses were confirmed on an ongoing basis during performance of the test, and after it. Different material models were applied for this incremental elasto-plastic analysis using the ANSYS program. The results of the simulation are used to verify the FEM-based shakedown analysis.

Very deep cracks have a residual strength which is better modelled by a global limit load. In all burst tests, the ductility of pressure vessel steels was sufficiently high whereby the burst pressure could be predicted by limit analysis with no need to apply fracture mechanics. The relative prognosis error increases however, for long and deep defects due to uncertainties of geometry and strength data.

Bachelor- und Masterstudiengänge müssen modularisiert sein und in ein Leistungspunktesystem integriert. Die Leistungspunkte müssen auf der tatsächlichen Arbeitsbelastung der Studierenden basieren. Bei der Konzeption von Bachelor- und Masterstudiengängen soll zunächst eine Bedarfsermittlung erfolgen. Besteht ein Bedarf, soll ein Abschlussprofil basierend auf den Kompetenzen (besondere Beachtung verdienen die Schlüsselqualifikationen), über die der Absolvent verfügen soll, erstellt werden. Aus diesem wird ein Curriculum mit Modulen abgeleitet. Die Module werden mit Leistungspunkten versehen und auf einem Modulbogen zwecks Transparenz beschrieben. Dabei ist der Paradigmenwechsel vom Lehrenden zum Lernenden zu beachten – Lernergebnisse statt Lernziele. Die Lernergebnisse werden mittels Kompetenzen ausgedrückt. Der Studiengang wird des weiteren im Diploma Supplement, welches der Studierende bei Abschluss zusätzlich zum Zeugnis erhält, dokumentiert. ECTS ist aber auch mit weiteren Auflagen verbunden. Noch herrührend von ECTS als reinem Transfersystem müssen beim Austausch von Studierenden die Formulare ECTS Application, Learning Agreement und Transcript of Records vom Fachbereich in Abstimmung mit der jeweiligen Partnerhochschule ausgefüllt werden, (siehe Anlagen 4 und 5). Zur Information aller Studierenden sollen die folgenden Dokumente bereitstehen: Ein Ratgeber für Gaststudierende, eine Beschreibung der Hochschule und der Fachbereiche (nach bestimmten Kriterien) sowie Beschreibungen aller Module (siehe Anlage). Die Fachhochschule hat diese Informationen schon zum größten Teil auf ihrer Website dargestellt. Wichtig ist die Pflege der Daten, die von den einzelnen Fachbereichen bzw. den Lehrenden übernommen werden muss, da nur sie die Richtigkeit und Aktualität der Daten gewährleisten können.

Limit and shakedown theorems are simplified but exact methods of plasticity that provide safety factors directly in the loading space. These theorems may be used for a direct definition of the limit state function for failure by plastic collapse or by inadaptation. In a FEM formulation the limit state function is obtained from a nonlinear optimization problem. This direct approach reduces considerably the necessary knowledge of uncertain technological input data, the computing time, and the numerical error. Moreover, the direct way leads to highly effective and precise reliability analyses. The theorems are implemented into a general purpose FEM program in a way capable of large-scale analysis.

To this end it is important to make a clear distinction between the shakedown range and the ratcheting range. In cyclic plasticity more sophisticated hardening models have been suggested in order to model the strain evolution observed in ratcheting experiments. The hardening models used in shakedown analysis are comparatively simple. It is shown that shakedown analysis can make quite stable predictions of admissible load ranges despite the simplicity of the underlying hardening models. A linear and a nonlinear kinematic hardening model of two-surface plasticity are compared in material shakedown analysis. Both give identical or similar shakedown ranges. Structural shakedown analyses show that the loading may have a more pronounced effect than the hardening model.

T1 - Rotte- und Emissionsverhalten von mechanisch-biologisch vorbehandeltem Restmüll und Keim- und Staubbelastung im Sortierbereich : Abschlußbericht ; [Abschlußdatum des Vorhabens: 06/1999] N2 - Es sollte herausgestellt werden, inwieweit kalte Vorbehandlungsverfahren das Deponierverhalten von mechanisch-biologisch vorbehandeltem Restmüll beeinflussen. Das Deponierverhalten von mechanisch-biologisch vorbehandeltem Abfall wurde an Lysimeterversuchen simuliert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß durch die mechanisch-biologische Behandlung des Abfalls eine CSB-Entfrachtung bezogen auf das Wasser-Feststoffverhältnis von ca. 70 % erfolgt, die kumulierte TOC-Fracht um ca. 50 % sinkt, die NH4-N-Konzentrationen eine Reduktion von annähernd 80 % aufweist, die Gasproduktion um ca 80 % fällt. Insgesamt kann mit einer erheblichen Verkürzung der Nachsorgephase gerechnet werden. - Neben den Lysimeteruntersuchungen wurden Staub- und Keimemmissionsmessungen im Handsortierbereich der MBRA durchgeführt. Die durchgeführten Keimemissionsmessungen ergaben, daß die dort Beschäftigten im Vergleich zu anderen Arbeitsbereichen z.T. signifikant erhöhten Keimbelastungen ausgesetzt sind. Den größten Anteil der im Screening eindeutig bestimmten Bakterien hatten die Enterobakteriaceen, die Streptomyceten sowie Coliformen. Den größten Anteil am Pilzspektrum hatte die Gruppe der Penicillien. Die Differenzierung zeigte die Eigung von A. fumigatus als Leitkeim. - Die Staubmessungen erfolgten gleichzeitig mit den Keimemissionsmessungen. Die Analyse der Partikelzahlen in den unterschiedlichen Größenklassen zeigt, daß 95 % der Aerosole einatembar, 90 % thorakal- und 85 % alveolengängig sind. Des weiteren ergab die Korrelation der Partikelklasse > 2 bis < 5 Mikrometer und der Konzentration an luftgetragenen Pilzen eine signifikante Übereinstimmung. Bei zukünftigen Untersuchungen und routinemäßigen Messungen durch die Aufsichtsbehörde oder im Rahmen der arbeitsmedizinischen Vorsorge könnte demnach auf die bewährte Meßgröße "Staubgehalt" zurückgegriffen werden.
