Retracted: Investigation of composite materials supported by carbon fiber fabric (TFC) in pre-cracked concrete beams
(2020)Journal of Physics: Conference SeriesThis work is a commitment to breaking down the conduct of pillars that strengthened by composite materials. The investigation was helped out through an exploratory and logical examination on eleven strengthened concrete and fortified solid components underneath and decently strengthened, pre-split and afterward strengthened utilizing nearby carbon-fiber texture utilizing epoxy pitches. So as to consider the impact of the underlying splitting ...Conference Paper -
Automated Insertion of Objects Into an Acoustic Robotic Gripper
(2020)ProceedingsAcoustic levitation forces can be used to manipulate small objects and liquid without mechanical contact or contamination. To use acoustic levitation for contactless robotic grippers, automated insertion of objects into the acoustic pressure field is necessary. This work presents analytical models based on which concepts for the controlled insertion of objects are developed. Two prototypes of acoustic grippers are implemented and used to ...Conference Paper -
Embodied GHG emissions of buildings – Critical reflection of benchmark comparison and in-depth analysis of drivers
(2020)IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental ScienceIn the face of the unfolding climate crisis, the role and importance of reducing Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the building sector is increasing. This study investigates the global trends of GHG emissions occurring across the life cycle of buildings by systematically compiling life cycle assessment (LCA) studies and analysing more than 650 building cases. Based on the data extracted from these LCA studies, the influence of features ...Conference Paper -
Concept for next generation of technical energy regulations in buildings
(2020)IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental ScienceThe research project EnTeR analysed the role of technical energy regulations (TERs) in the transformation of the building stock and their integration into the future energy system. The main task was to identify effective measures which can guide stakeholders to achieve CO2-emission targets by means of TER. Based on this, recommendations for future energy legislation are derived. The international analysis revealed that TERs, despite their ...Conference Paper -
Robust and resilient renovation solutions in different climate change scenarios
(2020)IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental ScienceBuilding renovation is currently urgent in order to decrease the energy consumption of a building stock. In order to achieve robust renovation scenarios, uncertainty quantification is needed. Climate change scenarios are important factors and need to be included in the analysis. In this paper, three climate change scenarios are applied probabilistically for a renovation scenario using dimensionality reduction techniques and further ...Conference Paper -
A data-driven parametric tool for under-specified LCA in the design phase
(2020)IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental ScienceLife Cycle Assessment (LCA) is increasingly applied to evaluate the environmental performance of buildings. However, current tools for building LCA require detailed information not available in the decisive early design stages. As a result, LCA is usually applied as post-design evaluation and not used to improve the building design. The goal of this paper is to adapt the method of structured under-specified LCA to the Swiss context and ...Conference Paper -
A full-field optimization approach for iterative definition of yielding for non-quadratic and free shape yield models in plane strain
(2020)IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and EngineeringAn advanced strategy for iterative definition of initial yielding based on planar strain distribution is presented. It is shown that full-field DIC measurement of NTR5 samples provides information on initial yielding for plane strain. The interdependency of strain increment and yield locus under assumption of associated flow allows for definition of yield parameters using a non-linear optimization scheme with LS-OPT. Pivotal for research ...Conference Paper -
Crystal plasticity as complementary modelling technique for improved simulations results of anisotropic sheet metal behaviour in forming processes
(2020)IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and EngineeringThe accuracy of the simulation results in terms of metal sheet forming strongly depends on the capability of modelling the anisotropic material behaviour. In addition, predictive capabilities of the models are strongly influenced by the way how the constitutive model parameters are calibrated. Macroscopic models lean towards to become more complex in order to map the material behaviour more precisely. As consequence the amount and complexity ...Conference Paper -
Search for the Higgs boson in the associated vector boson production mode where the vector boson decays leptonically and the Higgs boson decays to a pair of bottom quarks
(2020)PoS: Proceedings of Science ~ Proceedings of the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP 2019)A measurement of the Higgs-beauty quark coupling through the Higgs boson production asso-ciated with a Z or W boson where the W/Z boson decays leptonically and the Higgs boson to apair of bottom quarks is presented. The analysis is based on 41.3 fb−1data from proton-protoncollisions at√s=13 TeV collected by CMS in 2017. These results are combined with the resultsobtained using the 2016 and Run 1 dataset.Conference Paper
