In dieser Arbeit erfolgte die Herstellung von AlSi12-basierten Verbunden mit Verstärkungselementen aus metallischen Glas Ni₆₀Nb₂₀Ta₂₀ mit Hilfe des schmelzmetallurgischen Verfahrens der Gasdruckinfiltration. Es wurden Untersuchungen zur Ermittlung der mikrostrukturellen, mechanischen und thermischen Eigenschaften sowie der Schädigungsmechanismen durchgeführt. Die erzielten Ergebnisse tragen zu einem verbesserten Verständnis der Prozess-Gefüge-Eigenschafts-Beziehungen dieser Materialklasse bei. AlSi12-based metal matrix composites using metallic glass Ni₆₀Nb₂₀Ta₂₀ as reinforcement were produced via gas pressure melt infiltration technique. Comprehensive investigations were performed to determine the composite´s microstructural, mechanical and thermal properties as well as damage mechanisms. The results contribute to a better understanding on the material´s processing-structure-property relations.

Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt Möglichkeiten auf, um aus Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungen zum Nutzerverhalten Anforderungen an Fahrzeugkonzepte abzuleiten. Der Schwerpunkt liegt in der Herleitung von Mobilitäts- und Fahrprofilen, die der anschließenden rechnergestützten Ermittlung des Kraftstoffverbrauchs dienen. Darauf aufbauend wird die Einbindung der ermittelten Kraftstoffverbrauchswerte in die Erstellung von Ökobilanzen und Gesamtkostenberechnungen zur Bewertung von Fahrzeugkonzepten erörtert. The book at hand shows possibilities to derive requirements from customers’ usage behaviour based on recorded vehicle data. The focus lies on the derivation of mobility and driving profiles for a computer aided calculation of the fuel consumption. On this basis, the calculated fuel consumption is integrated into the creation of life cycle assessments and total cost of ownership calculations in order to evaluate vehicle concepts.

This book proposes to solve the low-resolution (LR) facial analysis problem with 3D face super-resolution (FSR). A complete processing chain is presented towards effective 3D FSR in real world. To deal with the extreme challenges of incorporating 3D modeling under the ill-posed LR condition, a novel workflow coupling automatic localization of 2D facial feature points and 3D shape reconstruction is developed, leading to a robust pipeline for pose-invariant hallucination of the 3D facial texture.

Collision avoidance systems like emergency braking assist systems have demonstrated their effectiveness in increasing the safety of vehicle passengers in various studies. To further increase the effectiveness of collision avoidance systems, the exploitation of the lateral free space by evasive maneuvers is being investigated in this book. This work focuses on methods for integrated trajectory planning and vehicle dynamics control in collision avoidance scenarios by combined evasion and braking.

A general analytical travel time model for the quadruple command cycle in double deep storage systems with a dual capacity load handling device is formulated and validated by means of a simulation model. Various routing and sequencing strategies are composed. A simulation model is used to compare strategies for differnt AS/RS configurations and settings to assess them in consideration of real-world cases. For selected strategies, analytical formulations are derived.

Inspired by superhydrophobic leaves of water plants, a flexible superhydrophobic self-cleaning, transparent thin polymeric nanofur film was fabricated through highly scalable hot embossing and hot pulling techniques. Nanofur can retain an air film underwater, whose stability against external stimuli such as high pressure and movement through fluids is investigated. Additionally, the optical properties of nanofur are investigated and exploited to enhance the efficiency of optoelectronic devices.

The goal of this work is the development of a novel computational formalization of whole-body affordances which is suitable for the multimodal detection and validation of interaction possibilities in unknown environments. The hierarchical framework allows the consistent fusion of affordance-related evidence and can be utilized for realizing shared autonomous control of humanoid robots. The affordance formalization is evaluated in several experiments in simulation and on real humanoid robots.
