Das Potenzial Positiver Psychologie in der Arbeitswelt
(2021-12-21)
Das Wohlbefinden von Mitarbeitenden ist ein entscheidender Einflussfaktor für diverse organisationale Erfolgsgrößen wie Arbeitsleistung oder -zufriedenheit. Dieser Artikel beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob und durch welche Wirkmechanismen Interventionen der Positiven Psychologie das Wohlbefinden in Arbeitnehmerstichproben erhöhen und organisationale Ergebnisgrößen beeinflussen können. Die Studienergebnisse unter Einbezug bisheriger Forschung legen nahe, dass Positive Interventionen bei langfristiger Anwendung das ...

Improving decision-making through material flow cost accounting: the case of VietGreen bottled mineral water company
(2021-08-04)
VietGreen, headquartered in the South of Vietnam, is a bottled mineral water company striving towards becoming a leading mineral water producer with a strong reputation for social responsibility and integrity. This case describes VietGreen’s decision to explore the potential of material flow cost accounting (MFCA) for enhanced eco-efficiency and achieving the company’s long-term goals. It introduces the students to the company’s major challenges in meeting existing and newly introduced environmental regulations and ...

Actuation of an elastic membrane by the use of an electrorheological valve
(2021-01-25)
The dynamic response of a fluidic actuator is investigated on the basis of numerical simulations. With this actuator a membrane is excited to oscillate by means of an electrorheological valve. For this purpose the solid and fluid domains are coupled. Furthermore, the constitutive equation of the fluid is coupled to the electric field. The dynamic response is discussed on the example of a variable stiffness of the membrane. Actuators of this type offer the potential to delay the transition of a boundary layer.

Efficient Solution of Distributed MIP in Control of Networked Systems
(2021-01-25)
Certain classes of optimization‐based control problems stated for networked systems involving hybrid dynamics and logical constraints can be cast into Mixed‐Integer Programming (MIP) problems. Since these belong to the complexity class NP‐hard, the motivation arises to find approximations of the optimal solution by distributed solution efficiently. For the cases that the cost functional is linear or quadratic and the constraints are linear, this paper proposes an alternative to the standard centralized schemes, by ...

Simultaneous determination of Bingham material parameters using a ball probe concrete rheometer
(2021-01-25)
A new evaluation method allowing direct determination of the Bingham parameters from ball probe rheometers. A non‐linear relationship between the direct measured variables and the material parameters is revealed through numerical parameter studies. The method was validated on two devices of the ball probe type with different dimensions. Comparison with other methods showed good agreement. It is pointed out how the evaluation method can be transferred to devices having other dimensions by performing a limited number ...

Damage modelling for the lifetime prediction of structural adhesive joints subjected to hygro‐thermo‐mechanical long‐term loading
(2021-01-25)
A damage model is presented for the lifetime prediction of structural adhesive joints under hygro‐thermo‐mechanical loading. The damage approach is applied through a cohesive zone model together with the concept of effective stress. It consists of a temperature‐dependent creep and hygro damage evolution due to mechanical loading and chemical aging, caused by the local water concentration. The creep damage part considers multiaxiality of the loading by an equivalent stress. The model parameters are identified by means ...

‘Nach und nach müssen wir alles ablehnen’: Hyperbolische Negativität bei Thomas Bernhard
(2021-02-02)
Thomas Bernhard's work abounds in rejections. The impulse of not wanting to participate, of refusing to be complicit, lies at the heart of Bernhard's oeuvre. If this refusal is frequently embedded in discursive or even programmatic strategies, it really seems to undermine its own foundations, the very arguments and justifications put forward to make the refusal possible. Before being directed at a specific object, the refusal appears to stem from a more general disposition to say no. Drawing on Der Keller (1976), the ...

Numerical simulation of flow processes of wood‐polymer in extrusion dies
(2021-01-25)
The addition of wood to polymers results in wood‐polymer composites (WPC), whereby the wood content can be up to 80 %. This composite is mainly processed in extruded deckings. The extrusion die is an essential part of the process, which determines both process parameters and the final product. A characteristic of WPC extrusion dies is a partial solidification of the melt before leaving the die. This solidification is necessary to ensure a dimensionally stable extrusion. For the design of WPC extrusion dies numerical ...

On A Hybrid Concept for Approximating Self‐Excited Periodic Oscillations of Large‐Scaled Dynamical Systems
(2021-01-25)
Concerning the approximation of self‐excited periodic oscillations in large‐scaled mechanical systems involving strong nonlinearities, this contribution suggests a concept for an efficient treatment. The presented Hybrid FD‐HB method takes the advantages of both schemes Harmonic Balance and Finite Difference to enhance the ratio of computational cost and accuracy for mechanical systems with many degrees of freedom. Within this contribution the residual equations, required when applying a NEWTON‐RAPHSON‐scheme, are ...

The influence of magnetic field on nanoparticle transport in a micro channel
(2021-01-25)
The present study focuses on a new solver considering the effect of magnetic field on nanoparticles concentration in a micro size channel. To describe the multi component behavior of blood, the Euler‐Euler method is used. Particles are modeled by a concentration equation considering a magnetic drift. The influence of a realistic magnetic field on nanoparticles is investigated. A result for a test case is presented. It shows that the magnetic body force resulting from nanoparticles also influence the hematocrit ...
