Development of Selectively Actuatable Micromirror Arrays and Scalable Lithography Processes for Large-Area Applications as Smart Window
(2023)
This thesis provides an extensive overview on the state-of-the-art daylighting systems for applications in buildings and subsequently addresses the implementation of subfield addressing in micromirror arrays and investigation of a potential scalable lithography process for the large-area fabrication, both have been identified as the research gap in achieving the envisioned application as smart window. The work is conducted in continuation of the optimized fabrication process and the successful fabrication of a lab ...

On the reliability of residual stress measurements in unidirectional carbon fibre reinforced epoxy composites
(2021-03-03)
The present work introduces a novel methodology to analyse non-uniform residual stresses in composite materials. For robust determination of stresses in complex structures made of different layers, it is first necessary to prove that residual stress analysis in a single layer structure can reliably be accomplished. In present work a unidirectional carbon fibre reinforced epoxy is investigated. For residual stress determination, the integral incremental hole drilling method is used. It is revealed that the standard ...

Taylor and Taylorism
(2023-04-20)
Beyond the perspectives of labour science and industrial sociology, in which extensive deepening of the division of labour can be crystallized as an element of consensus under Taylorism, the concept of Taylorism found its way into general intellectual history. In 1954, the German-American management expert Drucker ranked scientific management among the most important contributions of the USA to Western culture. The dissemination of the concept of Taylorism in Western culture outlined here points to a high rank of ...

Abschlussergebnisbericht - KMU-Wissenstransferlabor „Digitale Fabrik“
(2023-04)
Der digitale Wandel stellt aufgrund der hohen Gestaltungskomplexität insbesondere kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KMU) immer noch vor große Herausforderungen. Reifegradmodelle und Roadmaps bieten Möglichkeiten, diese Komplexität beherrschbar zu machen. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat das Fachgebiet Produktionsorganisation und Fabrikplanung an der Universität Kassel im Rahmen des Forschungsprojektes Wissenstransferlabor „Digitale Fabrik“ (Wislab) ein KMU-spezifisches Reifegradmodell, einen zugehörigen Erhebungsleitfaden ...

Continuity and changes in food consumption pattern among Tibetan refugee community in India
(2021-09-29)
Background: Food consumption pattern of refugee communities was carried by many scholars but little is known about the food continuity of refugees in host country and its implications on health.
Aim: The present study highlights the issue of food continuity among Tibetan refugees in Bylakuppe settlement, India.
Methods: 200 household data were collected in order to understand food consumption pattern by employing household structured questionnaire. Simultaneously, 23 individual data were collected consisting first ...

Burkina Faso Under the Presidency of Thomas Sankara – A Post-Developmental State ?
(2023-05)
Thomas Sankara, one of the most celebrated African idols, was president of Burkina Faso from 1983 until his assassination in 1987. The politics he realized with his government were vanguard in more than one regard: The country’s feminist politics queried patriarchy by promoting equal rights and duties for women and men in several different domains; along with the country’s citizens, migrants could participate in policy-making and thereby shape politics; redistribution was made a political goal aspiring to overcome ...

Ti6Al4V lattice structures manufactured by electron beam powder bed fusion - Microstructural and mechanical characterization based on advanced in situ techniques
(2022-12-17)
Powder bed fusion (PBF) processes enable the manufacturing of complex components in a time- and cost-efficient manner. Especially lattice structures are currently focused since they show varying mechanical properties, including different deformation and damage behaviors, which can be used to locally tailor the mechanical behavior. However, the present process-structure-property relationships are highly complex and have to be understood in detail in order to enable an implementation of PBF manufactured lattice structures ...

On the influence of build orientation on properties of friction stir welded AleSi10Mg parts produced by selective laser melting
(2021-04-06)
Welding and joining of components processed by additive manufacturing (AM) to other AM as well as conventionally produced components is of high importance for industry as this allows to combine advantages of either technique and to produce large-scale structures, respectively. One of the key influencing factors with respect to weldability and mechanical properties of AM components was found to be the inherent microstructural anisotropy of these components. In present work, the precipitation-hardenable Al–Si10Mg was ...

Effect of Grain Statistics on Micromechanical Modeling: The Example of Additively Manufactured Materials Examined by Electron Backscatter Diffraction
(2020-02-21)
Micromechanical modeling is one of the prominent numerical tools for the prediction of mechanical properties and the understanding of deformation mechanisms of metals. As input parameters, it uses data obtained from microstructure characterization techniques, among which the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique allows us to understand the nature of microstructural features, that are usually described by statistics. Because of these advantages, the EBSD dataset is widely used for synthetic microstructure ...

Managing Risk, Performance and Sustainability in Textile & Apparel Supply Chains.
(2023)
The thesis at hand analyzes sustainability prerequisites, practices, risk and performance in textile and apparel (T&A) supply chains (SCs). Given the growing awareness of sustainability risks by various stakeholders, T&A firms are required to implement and adapt sustainability practices along their SCs, while at the same time measuring their performance to counteract the (re)emergence of risks. Appropriate management strategies are therefore needed to ensure sustainable transformation in T&A SCs. While the state of ...
