In the context of the Franco-German research project Re(h)strain, this work focuses on a global system analysis integrating both safety and security analysis of international and/or urban railway stations. The Re(h)strain project focuses on terrorist attacks on high speed train systems and investigates prevention and mitigation measures to reduce the overall vulnerability and strengthen the system resilience. One main criterion regarding public transport issues is the number of passengers. For example, the railway station of Paris “Gare du Nord” deals with a bigger number of passengers than the biggest airport in the world (SNCF open Data 2014), the Atlanta airport, but in terms of passengers, it is only around the 23rd rank railway station in the world. Due to the enormous mass of people, this leads to the system approach of breaking out the station into several classes of zones, e.g. entrance, main hall, quays, trains, etc. All classes are analysed considering state-of-the-art parameters, like targets attractiveness, feasibility of attack, possible damage, possible mitigation and defences. Then, safety incidence of security defence is discussed in order to refine security requirement with regard to the considered zone. Finally, global requirements of security defence correlated to the corresponding class of zones are proposed.
Influence of design of extrusion blow molding (EBM) in terms of extrusion direction set-up and draw ratio as well as process conditions (mold temperature) on storage modulus of high density polyethylene EBM containers was analyzed with dynamic mechanical analysis. All three parameters - mold temperature, flow direction and draw ratio - are statistically significant and lead to relative and absolute evaluation of storage modulus. Furthermore, flow induced changes in crystallinity was analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry. Obtained data on deformation properties can be employed for more sophisticated finite element simulations with the aim to reach more sustainable extrusion blow molding production.
