An Investigation on Limiting Potentials for Damage Prediction of Viscoelastic Adhesives
(2023-03-24)
In his recent work VOLOKH introduced the energy limiting method as an alternative to continuum damage mechanics developed and envolved by KACHANOV, RABOTNOV, LEMAITRE and many more. In contrast to continuum damage mechanics, the energy limiting method is physically grounded by the process of atomistic debonding and, therefore, motivated on an energy basis. In order to use the energy limiting method within the framework of continuum mechanics, a limiting potential needs to be defined, which can be seen as a macroscopic ...

Consideration of nonlinear multipoint constraints in finite element analyses based on a master-slave elimination scheme operating at the global level
(2023-03-24)
A method to consider nonlinear multipoint constraints in finite element analysis based on a master-slave elimination scheme operating at the global level is presented. We focus on systems with nonlinear constraints in which the number of constraints is of the same order of magnitude as the number of degrees of freedom. Therefore, we rely on the master-slave elimination which gives us the huge benefit of drastically reducing the problem size. In the literature the presented master-slave elimination schemes for linear ...

Influence of Accelerated Aging on the Fiber-Matrix Adhesion of Regenerated Cellulose Fiber-Reinforced Bio-Polyamide
(2023-03-23)
With regard to the sustainability and biological origin of plastic components, regenerated cellulose fiber (RCF)-reinforced polymers are expected to replace other composites in the future. For use under severe conditions, for example, as a housing in the engine compartment, the resistance of the composites and the impact on the fiber and fiber-matrix adhesion must be investigated. Composites of bio-polyamide with a reinforcement of 20 wt.% RCF were compounded using a twinscrew extruder. The test specimens were ...

Artificial intelligence for online characterization of ultrashort X-ray free-electron laser pulses
(2022-10-24)
X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) as the world’s brightest light sources provide ultrashort X-ray pulses with a duration typically in the order of femtoseconds. Recently, they have approached and entered the attosecond regime, which holds new promises for single-molecule imaging and studying nonlinear and ultrafast phenomena such as localized electron dynamics. The technological evolution of XFELs toward well-controllable light sources for precise metrology of ultrafast processes has been, however, hampered by the ...

Analytical perception and kinesthetic engagement in evaluation of copper chloride crystallization patterns of wheat, grape juice and rocket samples from conventional, organic and biodynamic cultivation
(2022-12-27)
Background:
When a dihydrate cupric chloride solution is crystallized in a petri dish in the presence of extracts of food products, dendritic crystal patterns emerge. The degree of growth, ripening and decomposition of the product is reflected in these patterns as salient unities (gestalts) of phenomenological features. In the present study we evaluated wheat, grape, and rocket (arugula) samples grown under different farming systems, fertilization treatments or horn silica application. The hypothesis of the present ...

Do Salient Social Norms Moderate Mortality Salience Effects? A (Challenging) Meta-Analysis of Terror Management Studies
(2022-08-11)
Terror management theory postulates that mortality salience (MS) increases the motivation to defend one’s cultural worldviews. How that motivation is expressed may depend on the social norm that is momentarily salient. Meta-analyses were conducted on studies that manipulated MS and social norm salience. Results based on 64 effect sizes for the hypothesized interaction between MS and norm salience revealed a small-to-medium effect of g = 0.34, 95% confidence interval [0.26, 0.41]. Bias-adjustment techniques suggested ...

Gamifying Online Training in Management Education to Support Emotional Engagement and Problem-solving Skills
(2022-09-28)
Online training to improve problem-solving skills has become increasingly important in management learning. In online environments, learners take a more active role which can lead to stressful situations and decreased motivation. Gamification can be applied to support learner motivation and emotionally boost engagement by using game-like elements in a non-game context. However, using gamification does not necessarily result in supporting positive learning outcomes. Our analysis sheds light on these aspects and evaluates ...

All power to the reviewers: British sociology under two-level supervision of the Research Excellence Framework
(2023-03-16)
Our study investigates the impact of the British Research Assessment Exercise in 2008 and Research Excellence Framework in 2014 on the diversity and topic structure of UK sociology departments from the perspective of habitus-field theory. Empirically, we train a Latent Dirichlet allocation on 819,673 abstracts stemming from the journals in which British sociologists submitted at least one paper in the Research Assessment Exercise 2008 or Research Excellence Framework 2014. We then employ the trained model on the 4822 ...

Experimentelle Untersuchungen von Wärmerohrsystemen für den Einsatz in elektrischen Arbeitskraftmaschinen
(2023-03-01)
Mit dem Ziel die Effizienz elektrischer Arbeitskraftmaschinen durch ein innovatives Kühlsystem zu erhöhen, wird ein Wärmetransportsystem auf Basis von Wärmerohren entwickelt und analysiert. Die Leistungsfähigkeit des Systems bei Variation des Temperaturbereichs und des zugeführten Wärmestroms sowie der Einfluss der Rotation werden experimentell untersucht. Der Wärmewiderstand des Systems wird im Vergleich zu reiner Wärmeleitung um 98 % reduziert. Die Rotation des Systems hat keinen signifikanten Einfluss auf den ...

Das digitale Sportangebot „Get Up – Stand Up – Move Up“ während der Covid-19-Pandemie: eine Interviewstudie mit teilnehmenden Grundschulkindern
(2023-04-18)
Die Covid-19-Pandemie führte während des zweiten Lockdowns zu einer Reduktion der körperlichen Aktivität der Kinder in Deutschland. Um den erschwerten Möglichkeiten, sich als Kind zu bewegen, etwas entgegenzusetzen, wurde ein digitales Sportangebot initiiert. Dieses nahm insbesondere die Befriedigung der psychologischen Grundbedürfnisse in den Blick und richtete sich an Kinder im Grundschulalter. Weiterhin stand die Vermittlung von Freude an der Bewegung im Fokus. Fünf bis sechs Wochen nach Projektstart wurden acht ...
