The logarithmic finite element method
(International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2018)
The Logarithmic finite element (LogFE) method extends the Ritz-Galerkin method to approximations on a non-linear finite-dimensional manifold in the infinitedimensional solution space. Formulating the interpolant on the logarithmic space allows for a novel treatment of the rotational component of the deformation, and induces a strong coupling between rotations and translations. The Logarithmic finite element method provides
a transformation of the initial configuration that is not restricted to an isoparametric formulation.

Outsmarting the MNCs by fitting strategic manoeuvres to national framing: evidence from India
(National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA), Faculty of ManagementTritonic, 2017)
This paper focuses on how Indian home-grown companies captured MNCs market in India with the help of strategic maneuvering and understanding their own capabilities. Seizing the framework of Porter’s National Diamond this research follows a caselet approach for illustrating these strategies. The study’s originality springs from understanding changes in demand pattern brought by home-grown companies in the Indian market. A key implication of this paper is that the demand conditions and firm strategy (by means of targeting ...

Post-crises response strategies: a combined model to manage brand crises
(National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA), Faculty of ManagementTritonic, 2017)
Brand crises negatively affect customers’ perception of the brand’s ability to deliver expected functional or symbolic benefits. Post-crisis response strategies should be implemented to restore brand trust and diminish the effect of reputational threat, since these strategies act as critical determinants of the actual impact of the crisis on consumers’ evaluations and consequently on repurchase intentions. A categorization of the nature of the crisis, distinguishing between ‘performance-related’ and ‘values-related’ ...

How digitalization changes the internationalization of entrepreneurial firms: theoretical considerations and empirical evidence
(National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA), Faculty of ManagementTritonic, 2017)
The internationalization of firms is predominantly analyzed and explained considering observations from a pre-digital business environment. Thus, the applicability to digital ways of doing business needs to be challenged. Recent literature on the internationalization of digital firms attempts to adapt existing international business literature to the digital market. However, these studies consider internet-based companies predominantly as a homogeneous group. It is a popular opinion, that digital internationalization ...

Controlled magnetic devices in power electronic applications
(IEEE, 2017)
Almost all power electronic converters require magnetic devices and some properties of the converters can be controlled with magnetics. New magnetic materials enable implementation of magnetic control of converters also in high switching frequency applications. The presented paper gives an overview about controllability of magnetic devices in theory and practice, simulation approaches and examples. The focus is on electrically controllable magnetic devices. This means that an additional control winding is wound on ...

Design of Photovoltaic Microinverter for Off-Grid and Grid-Parallel Applications
(VDE Verlag, 2014)
The design and construction of a 500VA microinverter for photovoltaic applications is presented. The developed microinverter is capable of operating as a standalone AC voltage source for small loads or, alternatively, as a grid-parallel system. Possible applications are therefore small off-grid installations as well as installations where space constraints do not allow enough modules to be combined to use string inverters. The design of the microinverter is based on a two stage concept. Two alternative topologies for ...

Same Same But Different? A Two-Foci Perspective on Trust in Information Systems
(ScholarSpace, 2020-01-07)
Trust is one of the most important factors driving the adoption and use of information systems. The goal of this paper is to provide a first evaluation of a conceptual piece claiming a) that users distinguish between their trust in an IS and the provider of this IS and b) that both kinds of trust are important for the success sustainable success of IS providers. To evaluate the claims, a research model is developed and evaluated using data of 234 students during the introduction of a new IS at an European university. ...

Anforderungsvalidierung unter Nutzung echtzeit simulierter virtueller Prototypen zur Verbesserung der Produktqualität
(FAU University Press, 2017)
Im Rahmen der Anforderungsermittlung werden verschiedene Methoden, wie Befragungs‐ und Beobachtungstechniken eingesetzt, um die bewussten Kundenanforderungen zu erfassen. Verborgene (unbewusste) Kundenanforderungen werden dabei meist nicht berücksichtigt. Aus erhobenen Kundenanforderungen lassen sich z.B. mit einer QFD die späteren Produktmerkmale ableiten. Aufgrund der unscharfen Kundenanforderungslage kommt es bei dem entwickelten Produkt oft zu einer Abweichung von den vom Kunden gewünschten Eigenschaften. Jede ...

Structured Eyetracking-based Requirements Validation with the Help of Virtual Prototypes
(INEGI/Faculdade de Engenharia Universidade do Porto, 2017)
Customer requirements form the basis of every product development project. Incomplete requirements and lack of involvement of customers are the main factors for the failure of a product at the buyer's market (Hull et al. 2011). The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) describes a common method for translating customer requirements into product features. For this purpose, the QFD provides various matrices for the prioritization and quantification of the requirements, through the various phases of the product development. ...

Engaging Learners in Online Video Lectures with Dynamically Scaffolding Conversational Agents
(Association for Information Systems, 2020)
Online education creates new opportunities for learners, which has led to sharply increasing enrollment in the last few years. Despite these benefits, past research shows that the lack of individual interaction with educators creates low learner engagement that leads to high attrition rates, which remains a major challenge in the field. Dynamically scaffolding conversational agents built into online video lectures promise to address this problem by individually interacting with learners, similar to educators’ scaffolding ...
