The role of design patterns in the development and legal assessment of lawful technologies
(2022-10-22)
Novel technologies such as smart personal assistants integrate digital services into everyday life. These services use personal data to offer personalized services. While they are subject to special data protection regulations at the time of development, there are few guidelines describing the transition from legal requirements to implementation. To reduce risks, services depend on external legal assessments. With developers and legal experts often missing either legal or technical knowledge, the challenge lies in ...

Emission and Mechanical Properties of Glass and Cellulose Fiber Reinforced Bio-Polyamide Composites
(2023-06-07)
Climate change, access, and monopolies to raw material sources as well as politically motivated trade barriers are among the factors responsible for a shortage of raw materials. In the plastics industry, resource conservation can be achieved by substituting commercially available petrochemical-based plastics with components made from renewable raw materials. Innovation potentials are often not used due to a lack of information on the use of bio-based materials, efficient processing methods, and product technologies ...

Prediction Model Based on DoE and FTIR Data to Control Fast Setting and Early Shrinkage of Alkaline-Activated Slag/Silica Fume Blended Cementitious Material
(2023-05-31)
This study aims to develop a material-saving performance prediction model for fast-hardening alkali-activated slag/silica fume blended pastes. The hydration process in the early stage and the microstructural properties after 24 h were analyzed using design of experiments (DoE). The experimental results show that the curing time and the FTIR wavenumber of the Si-O-T (T = Al, Si) bond in the band range of 900–1000 cm−¹ after 24 h can be predicted accurately. In detailed investigations, low wavenumbers from FTIR analysis ...

On the Monotonic and Cyclic Behavior of an Al-Mg-Zn-Cu-Si Compositionally Complex Alloy
(2023-08-03)
In present work, the monotonic and cyclic properties of a novel Al-Mg-Zn-Cu-Si compositionally complex alloy (CCA) are investigated. Microstructural studies reveal that a eutectic phase and fishbone-type structures are embedded in the Al-matrix. The mechanical properties of this CCA obtained under compressive loading are found to be promising. However, low ultimate strength and brittle behavior are seen under tension. The fatigue performance of the alloy in the low-cycle fatigue (LCF) regime is poor. Microstructural ...

Experimental Analysis of the Stability of Retained Austenite in a Low-Alloy 42CrSi Steel after Different Quenching and Partitioning Heat Treatments
(2023-06-21)
Quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steels are characterized by an excellent combination of strength and ductility, opening up great potentials for advanced lightweight components. The Q&P treatment results in microstructures with a martensitic matrix being responsible for increased strength whereas interstitially enriched metastable retained austenite (RA) contributes to excellent ductility. Herein, a comprehensive experimental characterization of microstructure evolution and austenite stability is carried out on a ...

Electron Beam Welding of Hot-Rolled Fe–Mn–Al–Ni Shape Memory Alloy Sheets
(2023-04-25)
The present study focuses on the weldability of hot-rolled Fe–Mn–Al–Ni shape memory alloy sheets by vacuum electron beam welding. Tailored process-specific welding parameters, such as preheating with electron beam or beam oscillation during welding, allowed defect-free joining with very thin weld seams and heat-affected zones. By applying a post-weld cyclic heat treatment, abnormal grain growth can be promoted across the weld seams. However, regardless of the selected welding parameters, some specimens are characterized ...

Low-Cycle-Fatigue Performance of Stress-Aged EN AW-7075 Alloy
(2023-05-05)
The effect of a novel heat treatment, that is, aging under superimposed external stress, on the fatigue performance and microstructural evolution of a high-strength aluminum alloy (EN AW-7075) is presented. Stress aging, a combination of heat treatment and superimposed external stress, can enhance the mechanical properties of EN AW-7075 under monotonic loading due to the acceleration of precipitation kinetics. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) reveal that a longer ...

UVC Irradiation as a Surface Treatment of Polycarbonate to Generate Adhesion to Liquid Silicone Rubber in an Overmolding Process
(2024-04-18)
This study investigates the adhesion properties of polycarbonate (PC) and liquid silicone rubbers (LSR) through surface activation using ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation. While self-adhesive LSRs adhere easily to certain thermoplastic composites such as polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyamides (PAs), bonding to PC typically requires surface treatment due to the lack of compatible functional groups. Previous methods like plasma or flame treatment have been effective, but the use of UVC radiation for surface ...

Receding-Horizon Control of Constrained Switched Systems with Neural Networks as Parametric Function Approximators
(2022-11-21)
This work studies receding-horizon control of discrete-time switched linear systems subject to polytopic constraints for the continuous states and inputs. The objective is to approximate the optimal receding-horizon control strategy for cases in which the online computation is intractable due to the necessity of solving mixed-integer quadratic programs in each discrete time instant. The proposed approach builds upon an approximated optimal finite-horizon control law in closed-loop form with guaranteed constraint ...

Verbesserung der CO₂-Bilanz von Kalksandsteinen durch den Einsatz von Sägeschlamm als Optimierungszuschlag
(2023-12-06)
Rund 20% der aus den Rohstoffen Kalk, Sand und Wasser hergestellten Kalksandsteine (KS) in KS-XL-Formaten werden zur Vorkonfektionierung gesägt. Dabei fallen in den KS-Werken insgesamt rd. 20.000 t Sägeschlämme pro Jahr an, die derzeit keiner gezielten Verwendung zugeführt werden. Allerdings handelt es sich dabei bereits unter Einsatz von CO₂-intensivem Branntkalk gehärtetes Material, welches als Optimierungszusatz genutzt werden kann.
Insgesamt 13 verschiedene Sägeschlämme (SäS) wurden hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung ...
