This work represents the design and performance optimization of pumping aggregate for hydraulic active car
suspension systems. For solving of this task is required wide scope of interdisciplinary knowledge. The software used in
this project was SolidWorks from Dassault Systemes. Using this tool is possible to analyse and optimize the flow of
hydraulic fluid throw the electromotor of pumping aggregate. This papers shows among other, how to set the input
parameters and constraints such as pressure and velocity, how to simulate a rotating flow of cooling fluid inside
intermediate regions between stator and rotor. For approving a required lifetime of pumping aggregate a fatigue analysis
was done and represented above. The verification of simulation model and mandatory validation of simulation results
are made. The conclusions at the end of this work have confirmed the usage of computational fluid dynamic – software
for future researches of pumping aggregates.
Cyberphysical production systems are an important part of today’s manufacturing process. The ever-growing need of highly optimized,
i.e. at the same time flexible and ecient systems, requires the use of not only appropriate machines, but as well a
communication framework and data model that is manufacturer independent and scalable. This paper proposes a communicationframework
based on OPC UA that employs an agent-based architecture. The proposed system has been implemented and tested in
the Digital Factory of the UAS Technikum Wien. It shows promising behavior within distributed manufacturing systems.
In an effort to broaden the engineering applications of material extrusion based additive manufacturing (MEAM), new materials are being developed. Adding carbon-fibers (CF) has been one strategy to increase the mechanical performance of different thermoplastics. One challenge is to determine the amount of CF needed to increase the mechanical performance without affecting the “printability” of the compounds. In this paper, different amounts (10, 15, and 20 vol.%) of CF were added to recycled polypropylene (rPP) and polyamide 12 (PA12). A compatibilizer was used for rPP, but not for PA12. Filaments for MEAM were extruded from the different compounds and the viscosity as well as the tensile properties were measured and compared to the processed polymeric matrices. It was observed that the viscosities at the angular frequencies relevant for MEAM (100 to 200 rad/s) were not significantly different for rPP+CF compounds, but it was higher for PA12+CF compounds. As expected, the elongation at break significantly decreased with the addition of CF for all compounds. For the composites with an rPP matrix, the Young’s modulus and the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) continuously increased as the CF content increased to 20 vol.%. For PA12-based materials, the Young’s modulus and the UTS increased with CF content, but adding more than 15 vol.% did not further improve these values. Therefore, it was concluded that for PA12 the maximum amount of CF that should be added was 15 vol.%. Using scanning electron microscopy, it was observed that the CF were homogeneously dispersed in the rPP matrix, but not so well in the PA12 matrix, with fibers being more concentrated towards the rim of the filament. Finally, filaments of rPP, rPP+20CF, PA12 and PA12+15CF were used to print complex geometries by means of MEAM, and it was observed that CF helped to reduce the warpage compared to the unfilled filaments. A potential application of this phenomenon could be the reduction of the bed temperature to develop a more energy efficient MEAM process for semi-crystalline polymers.

Decentralized Energy Networks based on Blockchain: Background, Overview and Concept Discussion
(2018)
This paper provides a snapshot of the globally ongoing decentralization of (business) relations in the energy sector. This tendency can be observed in other domains as well and is accompanied by new digital technological developments. Blockchain technology is assigned disruptive potential when it comes to realize those decentralization ideas. This hype about Blockchain is mainly company-driven without a solid academic basis yet. The authors are currently involved in several research efforts for utilizing distributed energy resources like photovoltaic systems, batteries and electric cars for the setup of energy communities and marketplaces. The paper, therefore, presents detailed investigations of background and motivations for decentralization and the building of (local) energy communities and (peer-to-peer) marketplaces for sustainable utilization of renewable energies. An overview of recent related Blockchain-based works is presented, and the current state and feasibility for the realization of the envisioned decentralized solutions are discussed. In this way, the work aimed at contributing to a research-based decision foundation for upcoming Blockchain-based decentralization efforts.
A Novel and Automated Circle Pattern Recognition Technique for Infra-Red Stero Camera Calibration
(2013)
Eine ressourcenschonende Bewässerung von Nutzpflanzen wird durch
den Klimawandel in den nächsten Jahren immer größere Bedeutung gewinnen. Eine Möglichkeit, das für Pflanzen zur Verfügung stehende Wasserpotential beurteilen zu können, ist die Nutzung von klimatischen Faktoren und Computermodellen. In diesem Beitrag wird die Entwicklung eines auf dem Forschungsprojekt agriOpenLink basierten Softwaresystems zur Abschätzung der Evapotranspiration auf einer landwirtschaftlichen Nutzfläche beschrieben. Der Fokus dieses Berichts liegt auf dem Softwareframework, welches auf semantischer Technologie basiert und formalisiertes landwirtschaftliches Wissen sowie Computermodelle zur Abschätzung der Evapotranspiration beinhaltet. Es werden erste experimentelle Ergebnisse diskutiert und die semantische Technologie bezüglich praktischer Nutzung evaluiert.
Cloud solutions in the business are nowadays becoming more
and more popular. Many companies decide to deploy their applications
in the cloud or migrate them from their non-cloud based solutions. It
allows them to focus on functionalities and turn over the work connected
with setting up and managing an infrastructure (with its issues such as
scalability or availability) to the cloud providers.
This paper provides an in-depth analysis of cloud solutions in aspects
of distributed business services. It is supported by a web application that
is responsible for testing the provided services to supports the analysis.
