Ermittlung von Verfahrensgrenzen für das Fügen durch Knickbauchen anhand des Werkstoffes E235+N

Through a systematic approach and the consistent comparison of the results between experimental and numerical investigations, a deep understanding of the bulging mechanisms has been first developed. From these investigations process limitations were derived and presented in the form of a working diagram for the material E235+N. With regard to a wide industrial use of upset bulging as a joining technology, a technologically, productively as well as economically appropriate method could be developed and validated by means of practical and numerical experiments.     

Confidence limits for Weibull parameters estimated using linear least squares analysis

Confidence limits (at selected levels of 68.27%, 90%, 95% and 99%) for unbiased estimation of Weibull parameters obtained using linear least squares (LLS) analysis were investigated in this paper. A Monte Carlo procedure was used to obtain probability distributions for unbiased estimates of Weibull modulus, m, and Weibull scale parameter, S_o, as a function of total specimen number, N (10 ≤ N ≤ 200), and m (1 ≤ m ≤ 25). Inspection of the probability distributions indicated that confidence limits for m depended only on N whereas those for S_o depended on both N and m. Whilst the determination of confidence limits for m proved to be relatively straightforward, the respective values for S_o were obtained by fitting an empirical equation to the S_o probability distributions approximated by a Gaussian curve. Example values of m and S_o confidence limits for selected N have been presented in this work.     

An Evaluation of Different Controllers Based on the Network Frequency Maintenance Strategy for a Large and Multi-control-area Interconnected Power System

Abstract—Maintaining the network frequency at its nominal value due to the load changes is one of the most important issues in the control and operation schedule of a large and multi-area interconnected power system. For the effective control solution, two types of tie-line bias control strategy-based controllers have been applied, i.e., classical and improved controllers. The classical controllers using conventional regulators, including integral, proportional–integral and proportional-integral-derivative, have achieved initial control results to bring the steady state back to the network. However, due to the very poor control features (e.g., large overshoots and long settling times), they need to be replaced with improved controllers, such as fuzzy logic and artificial neural network. To obtain an entire evaluation of the application of different load-frequency controllers, a five-control-area interconnected power system was built as a typical case study. Three improved controllers using proportional-plus-integral-based fuzzy logic and artificial neural network-based non-linear autoregressive moving average (NARMA-L2) architectures as well as their hybrid combination will also be investigated in this study. Simulation results obtained reveal that the improved controllers have obtained smaller overshoots (from 13.95 to 84.18%) and shorter settling times (from 19.91 to 65.71%) compared with the classical controllers.     

Multicomponent gas diffusion in nonuniform tubes

In many technical processes gas, multicomponent diffusion takes place in confinements that are rarely uniform in direction of their long axis (e.g., catalysts pores). Here, we show that in conical tubes multicomponent diffusion is hindered. This effect increases with ratio of inlet to outlet cone radius Λ, indifferent of the orientation of the tube. Based on the Maxwell–Stefan equations, predictive analytical solution for ideal multicomponent diffusion in slightly tapered ducts is developed. In two‐bulb diffusion experiments on a uniform tube, the results of Duncan and Toor (1962) were reproduced. Comparison of model and experiment shows that the solution presented here provides a reliable quantitative prediction of the temporal change of H₂, N₂, and CO₂‐concentration for both tube geometries, uniform and slightly conical. In the demonstrated case (Λ = 3.16), mass diffusion is 68% delayed. Thus, for gaseous diffusion in “real,” typically tapered pores the transport limitation is more serious than considered so far. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 1404–1412, 2015     

Effects of combustor size and filling condition on stability limits of premixed H2‐air flames in planar microcombustors

An experimental study on stability limits of premixed hydrogen‐air flames in planar microcombustors (H = 1 mm and 1.5 mm) partially filled with porous medium is carried out, focusing on the effects of combustor sizes and filling conditions. Critical conditions for blow‐off, flashback, and breaking through the porous medium are experimentally measured. The blow‐off limits are nearly independent of combustor sizes and filling conditions, while the flashback limits are strongly influenced by the combustor size and the filling conditions. Critical values for breaking through are identified with two different methods, and it is shown that standing combustion waves are settled over a range of velocities, instead of a fixed value of filtration velocity, which is considered an important characteristic of microcombustion. Most results can be explained by the classic boundary velocity gradient theory by von Elbe and Lewis, and thus the validity of the theory to the present channel spacings is confirmed. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 2571–2580, 2015

High‐throughput and comprehensive prediction of H2 adsorption in metal‐organic frameworks under various conditions

High‐throughput prediction of H₂ adsorption in metal‐organic framework (MOF) materials has been extended from a few specific conditions to the whole T, p space. The prediction is based on a classical density functional theory and has been implemented over 712 MOFs in 441 different conditions covering a wide range. Some testing materials show excellent behavior at low temperatures and obvious improvement at high temperatures compared to conventional MOFs. The structures of the best MOFs at high and low temperatures are totally different. Linear and nonlinear correlations between the two Langmuir parameters have been found at high and low temperatures, respectively. According to the analysis of the excess uptake, we found that the saturated pressure increases along with temperature in the low temperature region but decreases in the high temperature region. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 2951–2957, 2015     

The Negative Binomial Exponentially Weighted Moving Average Chart with Estimated Control Limits

The control chart based on the compound Poisson distribution (the negative binomial exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) chart) has been shown to be more effective than the c‐chart to monitor the wafer nonconformities in semiconductor production process. The performance of the negative binomial EWMA chart is generally evaluated with the assumption that the process parameters are known. However, in many control chart applications, the process parameters are usually unknown and are required to be estimated. For an accurate parameter estimate, a very large sample size may be required, which is seldom available in the applications. This article investigates the effect of parameter estimation on the run length properties of the negative binomial EWMA charts. Using a Markov chain approach, we show that the performance of the negative binomial EWMA chart is affected when parameters are estimated compared with the known‐parameter case. We also provide recommendations regarding phase I sample sizes, smoothing constant and clustering parameter. The sample size must be quite large for the in‐control chart performance to be close to that for the known‐parameter case. Finally, a wafer process example has been used to highlight the practical implications of estimation error and to offer advice to practitioners when constructing/analysing a phase I sample.

Attribute Charts for Monitoring the Mean Vector of Bivariate Processes

This article proposes two Shewhart charts, denoted np_xy and np_w charts, which use attribute inspection to control the mean vector (μ_x; μ_y)′ of bivariate processes. The units of the sample are classified as first‐class, second‐class, or third‐class units, according to discriminate limits and the values of their two quality characteristics, X and Y. When the np_xy chart is in use, the monitoring statistic is M = N₁ + N₂, where N₁ and N₂ are the number of sample units with a second‐class and third‐class classification, respectively. When the np_w chart is in use, the monitoring statistic is W = N₁ + 2N₂. We assume that the quality characteristics X and Y follow a bivariate normal distribution and that the assignable cause shifts the mean vector without changing the covariance matrix. In general, the synthetic np_xy and np_w charts require twice larger samples to outperform the T² chart. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
