Intelligent Maintenance System

Der Fachbeitrag stellt eine Methode vor, mit der sich Bibliotheken von Instandhaltungsmaßnahmen selbstlernend gestalten lassen. Die „Intelligenz“ solcher Systeme bietet mehrfachen Nutzen, einerseits durch die Auswahl der passenden Instandhaltungsmethode zum richtigen Zeitpunkt, andererseits durch die damit verbundene Erhöhung des kompletten Abnutzungsvorrates. Die Ergebnisse sind im Sonderforschungsbereich 653 „Gentelligente Bauteile im Lebenszyklus – Nutzung vererbbarer, bauteilinhärenter Informationen in der Produktionstechnik“ entstanden.   This article describes a method to design a self-learning maintenance library. The benefit derived from the intelligence of those systems refers to the right choice of maintenance measures at the right time and the enhancement of the whole wear margin. The results are part of the Collaborative Research Centre 653: Gentelligent components in their lifecycle – Utilization of inheritable component information in product engineering.

Resilience as a concept has found its way into different disciplines to describe the ability of an individual or system to withstand and adapt to changes in its environment. In this paper, we provide an overview of the concept in different communities and extend it to the area of mechanical engineering. Furthermore, we present metrics to measure resilience in technical systems and illustrate them by applying them to load-carrying structures. By giving application examples from the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 805, we show how the concept of resilience can be used to control uncertainty during different stages of product life.

Transformations of human societies and environments are closely interwoven. Due to improved possibilities of paleoecological reconstruction and archaeological methods, we are now in a position to empirically collect detailed data from a variety of records. The Collaborative Research Centre 1266 ‘Scales of Transformation’ has developed a concept in which both deductive and inductive transformation dimensions are compared on different temporal and spatial scales. This concept includes the connection between the environmental and social spheres, which are often inseparable. Accordingly, a holistic principle of socio-environmental research is developed, which is exemplified by the contributions to this special issue of The Holocene.

A Performance

<p>The European Union is funding research through so-called framework programmes (FPs), the financial and strategic tools to stimulate excellence, innovation, economic growth and creation of jobs across Europe. The allocated research budgets increased considerably from less than 4 billion Euro for FP1 (4 years) to 100 billion for Horizon Europe (FP9, 7 years), demonstrating the strategic importance that is being attributed to research and development for a strong and competitive Europe. The upcoming framework programme Horizon Europe will add a new level of ambition for the scientific, economic as well as societal impact of EU funding and address global challenges that affect the quality of our daily lives.</p><p>However, if societal issues that affect our everyday lives are to be addressed effectively in research and to drive the necessary innovation process in view of a better future, then the third component at the science-policy interface must be “society”. Robust data, facts and evidences represent an important input to policy making in addition to other inputs and considerations. Scientists and policy makers must therefore not only network amongst their communities and experts but also interact with the public and engage in dialogue with citizens in order to first understand what the concerns and issues are and later to explain the solutions.</p><p>The Joint Research Centre has engaged in an Art, Science and Society programme to fill this gap. Artists are invited to the JRC to co-develop projects with the scientists under a specific theme – in 2015 the topic was “Food”, in 2017 “Fairness” and in 2019 “Big Data, Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence”. The final works are exhibited during the so-called Resonances Festival.</p><p>This presentation illustrates at the example of the Resonances III installation “Weather Prediction by Numerical Process - a forecast for Europe” by artists Lise Autogena and Joshua Portway in collaboration with the co-authors, the added value of this approach. The installation is a performance inspired by the work of L.F. Richardson (1881–1953), a truly multi-disciplinary scientist, who contributed to finite difference solutions of partial differential equations, turbulent flow and diffusion, also fractals, and the cause and evolution of conflicts. He was particularly visionary in his work on designing a numerical scheme for weather forecasting. While serving as ambulance driver during WWI, he performed the calculation for a weather forecast for Europe “by hand”. Even if the result of his years of calculations resulted in a wrong forecast because the numerical solution was not stable, the methodology for numerical weather forecast was born and today’s weather forecasts follow largely the same method – just with infinite more computing power. Richardson estimated that 64000 scientists, working together in a big orchestrated calculation, would be needed to calculate the weather in real-time.</p><p>The chosen format for the art installation is a performance, ritualistically re-enacting a small part of this epic calculation, drawing the audience into a multi-faceted discussion on the relevance of Richardson’s legacy today in the times of super computing and climate change.</p>

This paper describes the results of three sewer sediment studies, carried out in Dundee, financed by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Water Research centre (WRc). The work was carried out by the University of Abertay Dundee (Wastewater Technology Centre) as part of a collaborative research project undertaken with the University of Newcastle and the University of Sheffield. In Dundee, through collaboration with the sewerage system operator (Tayside Regional Council Water Services Department), three field sites have been established in interceptor and trunk sewer sites, since 1992, to monitor, as closely as possible, sediment and other pollutant erosion, their transport and the effects of first flushes. The physical and biochemical nature of the material being transported near the bed of real sewers has been measured. The importance of this mode of transport, in terms of mass transported and pollutant potential, is demonstrated based on data collected from the Dundee system sites. Comparisons are made between measured transport rates at the bed, at sites with and without deposited beds, with results obtained by applying empirical relationships developed to predict near bed transport in laboratory studies. A modified relationship is proposed which best fits the Dundee system data.

Im Fokus dieses Fachbeitrags steht die im Rahmen des Sonderforschungsbereichs 1153 angestrebte Entwicklung einer Prozesskette zur Fertigung einer hybriden Lagerbuchse aus Aluminium und Stahl. Es werden die Werkzeugkonzepte zur Halbzeugherstellung durch das Verbundstrangpressen sowie zum anschließenden Gesenkschmieden der hybriden Lagerbuchse vorgestellt. Des Weiteren wird ein Ausblick auf die numerische Prozessauslegung gegeben und erste Ergebnisse möglicher Erwärmungsstrategien werden präsentiert.   The focus of this paper is on the process chain development that is being researched within the Collaborative Research Centre 1153 for the production of a hybrid bearing bushing made of aluminium and steel. Here, the tool concepts for the production of semi-finished products through compound extrusion and the subsequent forging to a hybrid bearing bushing are introduced. Furthermore, an outlook on the numerical process design and the first results of the possible heating strategies are given.
