Wasserstofffreie amorphe Kohlenstoffschichten ‐ abgeschieden durch plasmaaktivierte Hochratebedampfung

Hydrogen free amorphous carbon coatings ‐ deposited with plasma‐activated high‐rate evaporation By using the technology of the plasmaactivated electron beam evaporation we deposited hydrogen free amorphous carbon coatings with deposition rates of up to 100 μm/h. The results of the mechanical and tribological investigations show the potential of these layers for the use in case of wear resistance. Hardnesses of up to 16GPa were proved. The actual state of the characterisation of the coatings is described and the outlook onto possibilities of further optimisation is given.     

Heliumlecktestgeräte für die Qualitätsprüfung von Gehäusen für Vakuumverdichter

Helium leak test devices for the quality inspection of housings for vacuum compressors The well‐known and wide‐spread helium leak test method is a safe and fast quality testing method for construction units of any kind. Due to its safe examination and the short time of examination it is predominantly inserted into automated production lines as e.g. in the automobile supporting industry up to the examination by Airbags and rims of wheel. Likewise in addition, for the construction units, machines and devices of the vacuum engineering. From this the demand results simple and in particular economical devices for the helium leak test of construction units with small numbers of items of under 200 pieces per day. For these manufacturing profiles economical ways for the helium leak test are pointed out.     

Bruchanalyse an Hohlgläsern

Failure analysis of hollow glasses The failure analysis is very important to clarify damages of hollow glasses. Damages of glass bottle through over pressure are very often linked with damages to persons. This is the reason why the causal research is from particular importance. Different surface characteristics of glass fragments as well as the fracture pattern give hints to the direction of the crack, the stress just before breakage and the reason of stress. A reconstruction of the bottle is a further helpful instrument for cause studies. The difference of the various characteristics of the surface will be explained. Further on there will be discussed different reasons and mechanism of fracture.     

Bemerkungen zum Biot-Savartschen Gesetz

Übersicht Die folgende Arbeit verfolgt u. a. auch didaktische Absichten. Das Biot-Savartsche Gesetz wird oft falsch oder mindestens sehr mißverständlich dargestellt und auch auf unzulässige Weise benutzt. Ausgangspunkt der Mißverständnisse ist die auch in vielen Lehrbüchern anzutreffende unkorrekte Aussage, man könne einem von StromI durchflossenen Linienelement ds ein magnetostatisches Feld dB [entsprechend der Gleichung (32) des folgenden Beitrags] zuordnen. Im folgenden werden derartige Aussagen untersucht und in modifizierter Form korrekt dargestellt.

Remarks concerning the Law of Biot-Savart

Contents The following paper is at least partly of a didactic nature. The Biot-Savart law of magnetostatics is often interpreted in an illegitimate manner and consequently applied incorrectly. The source of these misunderstandings and errors is the incorrect statement that a magnetic field dB [as given by equation (32) of this paper] is caused by an electric currentI flowing along a line element ds, a statement very popular also in many textbooks. Questions related to this problem are investigated and widespread misleading statements are replaced by correct ones.

     

Guaranteed inclusions for the complex generalized eigenproblem

A method is described which produces guaranteed bounds for a solution of the generalized complex eigenproblem. The method extends a similar approach for general systems of nonlinear equations to the special case of complex pencils, where under weaker assumptions stronger assertions can be proved.     

Solar duct for lighting and ventilation Santa Amalia building Barcelona -Spain

The Santa Amalia building in Barcelona is a block of six flats incorporating a duct by which ligth is sent to the kitchens - previously without natural ligthing- and also allows natural ventilation. Moreover, the passive solar gains obtained from the extensive glazed surfaces and the conservation of internal heat gains, along with a high degree of isulation, give energy saving of 68% for heating.
