Rainfall Prediction with AMSR–E Soil Moisture Products Using SM2RAIN and Nonlinear Autoregressive Networks with Exogenous Input (NARX) for Poorly Gauged Basins: Application to the Karkheh River Basin, Iran
(2018-07-23)
Accurate estimates of daily rainfall are essential for understanding and modeling the physical processes involved in the interaction between the land surface and the atmosphere. In this study, daily satellite soil moisture observations from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer–Earth Observing System (AMSR–E) generated by implementing the standard National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) algorithm are employed for estimating rainfall, firstly, through the use of recently developed approach, SM2RAIN ...

Meshing highly regular structures: The case of super carbon nanotubes of arbitrary order
(2015)
Mesh generation is an important step inmany numerical methods.We present the “HierarchicalGraphMeshing” (HGM)method as a novel approach to mesh generation, based on algebraic graph theory.The HGM method can be used to systematically construct configurations exhibiting multiple hierarchies and complex symmetry characteristics. The hierarchical description of structures provided by the HGM method can be exploited to increase the efficiency of multiscale and multigrid methods. In this paper, the HGM method is employed ...

Large Numerical Models in Continuous Hybrid Simulation
(2016-10-20)
Hybrid simulation is a technique that combines experimental and numerical testing and has been used for the last decades in the fields of aerospace, civil and mechanical engineering. During this time, most of the research has focused on developing algorithms and the necessary technology, including but not limited to, error minimisation techniques, phase lag compensation and faster hydraulic cylinders. However, one of the main shortcomings in hybrid simulation that has pre- vented its widespread use is the size of the ...

Untersuchung der Verstärkung bestehender Stahlbetonkonstruktionen unter Nutzung Ultrahochfesten Betons (UHPC) im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Verstärkungsmaßnahmen
(2017-12-07)
Aufgrund des hohen Anteils instandsetzungsbedürftiger Gebäude in Syrien spielen Verstärkungsmaßnahmen eine große Rolle im Bauingenieurwesen. Dabei wird den wirtschaftlichen Aspekten besondere Bedeutung beigemessen. Maßnahmen der Gebäudeverstärkung beruhen in Syrien fast nur auf dem Verfahren der Verstärkung durch Stahlbauteile. Für die Verstärkung und Sanierung bestehender Bauwerke und Bauteile sind in Deutschland verschiedene Methoden, wie z. B. Anbringen zusätzlicher Stahlprofile, Kleben von Stahl-, CFK- oder ...

Influence of Calcium Aluminate Cement and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag on the Synthesis of Rice Husk Ash-Based Geopolymer Mortars
(2018-02-26)
The manufacture of Portland cement is energy intensive and is associated with carbon dioxide emission of approximately 7% of total global emission. The process also produces pollution in the forms of dust, noise, and vibration with operating machinery during blasting in quarries. Geopolymer material is formed through the reaction of silica and alumina oxides with alkali activator and has appeared as a viable alternative to the Portland cement in the construction field due to good properties such as high compressive, ...

Punching Shear Behavior of UHPC Flat Slabs
(2014-09-25)
At the Institute of Structural Engineering of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Kassel University, series tests of slab-column connection were carried out, subjected to concentrated punching load. The effects of steel fiber content, concrete compressive strength, tension reinforcement ratio, size effect, and yield stress of tension reinforcement were studied by testing a total of six UHPC slabs and one normal strength concrete slab.
Based on experimental results; all the tested slabs failed in punching shear as a ...

Statik und Einflussfunktionen - vom modernen Standpunkt aus
(2018-02)
Die Genauigkeit einer FE Lösung hängt, wie wir heute wissen, von der Genauigkeit der Einflussfunktionen ab, die sich auf dem Netz generieren lassen. Mit diesem Wandel in dem Verständnis der finiten Elemente haben Einflussfunktionen plötzlich ein großes Gewicht in der Statik bekommen, sind sie vom Rand in den Mittelpunkt gerückt. Diese Verschiebung der Schwerpunkte war der Auslöser für dieses Buch, das hier in der 2. deutschen Auflage vorliegt. Die englische Ausgabe ist 2017 im Springer-Verlag erschienen.

Experimental and numerical Investigations of Tracer- and Density- dependent Transport in highly stochastic heterogeneous porous Media and Evaluation of transverse Macrodispersion
(2017-11-27)
Experimentelle und numerische Untersuchungen der dichteabhängigen Strömung und des Transportes gelöster Stoffe in einem sandbepackten Labortank sind wichtig für das Verständnis des Prozesses der Erneuerung von Aquifer. Am Hydrauliklabor der Universität Kassel werden solche Experimente zur Analyse von Makrodispersionseffekte auf eine Frisch-Salzwasser-Grenzfläche innerhalb der heterogen gepackten Sandstruktur mit vorgegebenen stochastischen Eigenschaften in einem Plexiglastank mit den Maßen 9.8×0.1 × 1.225 m durchgeführt. ...

Climate Change Impact Assessment of Basin-scale Water Allocation and Management in the Karkheh River Basin, Iran
(2018-09-21)
Hydrological research is intended to improve our understanding of hydrologic processes, the role of hydrological systems in providing water for ecosystems and society, and of the water cycle in the functioning of the earth system. The proper understanding of the hydrology of arid and semi-arid regions is becoming increasingly important, due to diminishing projections of water resource availability in response to global environmental changes. The main objective of this thesis study is to investigate the development ...
