Manufacturers of machinery are increasingly using application programming of safety controls in order to implement safety functions. The EN ISO 13849-1 and EN 62061 standards define requirements concerning the development of software employed for safety functions. The IFA began addressing the subject of safety-related application software many years ago. Between 2011 and 2013, Project FF-FP0319 concerning standardscompliant development and documentation of safetyrelated user software in machine construction was successfully completed at the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences in conjunction with numerous partner bodies from the machine construction sector and with funding from the DGUV. For this purpose, a procedure – the IFA matrix method – was developed, and evaluated and documented with reference to examples from industry, for implementation of the requirements concerning the development of software for machine safety functions. This paper provides insights into both the IFA matrix method and the new IFA report on the subject, and with information on what further tools are planned.
The proper use of protective hoods on panel saws should reliably prevent severe injuries from (hand) contact with the blade or material kickbacks. It also should minimize long-term lung damages from fine-particle pollution. To achieve both purposes the hood must be adjusted properly by the operator for each workpiece to fit its height. After a work process is finished, the hood must be lowered down completely to the bench. Unfortunately, in practice the protective hood is fixed at a high position for most of the work time and herein loses its safety features. A system for an automatic height adjustment of the hood would increase comfort and safety. If the system can distinguish between workpieces and skin reliably, it furthermore will reduce occupational hazards for panel saw users. A functional demonstrator of such a system has been designed and implemented to show the feasibility of this approach. A specific optical sensor system is used to observe a point on the extended cut axis in front of the blade. The sensor determines the surface material reliably and measures the distance to the workpiece surface simultaneously. If the distance changes because of a workpiece fed to the machine, the control unit will set the motor-adjusted hood to the correct height. If the sensor detects skin, the hood will not be moved. In addition a camera observes the area under the hood. If there are no workpieces or offcuts left under the hood, it will be lowered back to the default position.
This paper proposes a new artificial neural network-based maximum power point tracker for photovoltaic application. This tracker significantly improves efficiency of the photovoltaic system with series-connection of photovoltaic modules in non-uniform irradiance on photovoltaic array surfaces. The artificial neural network uses irradiance and temperature sensors to generate the maximum power point reference voltage and employ a classical perturb and observe searching algorithm. The structure of the artificial neural network was obtained by numerical modelling using Matlab/Simulink. The artificial neural network was trained using Bayesian regularisation back-propagation algorithms and demonstrated a good prediction of the maximum power point. Relative number of Vmpp prediction errors in range of ±0.2V is 0.05% based on validation data.
The paper presents a new control strategy of management of transport companies operating in completive transport environment. It is aimed to optimise the headway of transport companies to provide the balance between costs and benefits of operation under competition. The model of transport system build using AnyLogic comprises agent-based and discrete-event techniques. The model combined two transport companies was investigated under condition of the competition between them. It was demonstrated that the control strategy can ensure the balance of interests of transport companies trying to find compromise between cost of operation and quality of service.
Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich dem Aufbau und Betrieb eines Teststandes zur kontinuierlichen solaren Methanreformierung. Für den Teststand, der in einem Hochleistungsstrahler aufgebaut wird, werden Verfahrenskomponenten sowie Mess- und Regelungstechniken ausgewählt, platziert und ein Regelungskonzept erstellt. Mit dem Programm LabVIEW werden die erfassten Mess- und Regelungsgrößen grafisch angezeigt, gespeichert und eine vor-läufige Bestimmung der Prozessgüte durchgeführt. Um die Qualität der Messergebnisse zu steigern, wird die Messunsicherheit der verwendeten Messtechnik berechnet. Für die solare Methanreformierung wird ein Absorber mit neuartiger Zweikanalstruktur in einen bereits bestehenden Receiver integriert. In der einen Hälfte der Kanalstruktur findet die Methanreformierungsreaktion statt. In den restlichen Kanälen kann ein Wärmeaustauch mit dem Medium Luft erfolgen, um einen Wärmespeicher zu beladen bzw. im Nachtbetrieb Wärme aus dem Speicher wieder in den Receiver einzukoppeln. Für die Inbetriebnahme werden Mess- und Regelungskomponenten kalibriert und ein Gaserhitzer für die Verwendung im Teststand entwickelt und optimiert. Weiterhin werden die Inbetriebnahme und Versuchspläne für die erste Testkampagne ausgearbeitet.
Hand speed is particularly important in boxing both for protection against incoming blows and delivering blows. Sixteen amateur boxers (10 male, 6 female) with varying levels of experience from a boxing gym performed 20 jabs and 20 cross punches in air. The movement was recorded with a small wrist mounted accelerometer under the glove. The maximum velocity of each punch was determined from the RMS acceleration profile. The mean values of the jab maximal velocity was higher than the cross maximal velocity for 9 participants. The cross showed some dependence on reach (Spearman's correlation coefficient r = 0.57) and the jab dependence on experience (Spearman's correlation coefficient r = 0.56). The accelerometer technique has some promise for routine assessment of fist speed.
In this doctoral thesis the curing process of visible light-curing (VLC) dental composites and 3D printing rapid prototyping (RP) materials are investigated with the focus on dielectric analysis (DEA). This method is able to monitor the curing of resins in an alternating electric fringe field with adjustable frequencies and is often used for cure control of composites manufacturing in the aviation and automotive industry but hardly established in dental science or RP method development. It is capable of investigating very fast initiation and primary curing processes using high frequencies in the kHz-range. The aim of the Thesis is a better understanding of the curing processes with respect to curing parameters such as resin composition, viscosity, temperature, and for light-curing composites also light intensity and irradiation depth. Due to the nature of both dental and RP systems an application of specific experimental set-up had to be designed allowing for the generation of reproducible and valid results. Subsequently, different evaluation methods were developed to characterize the curing behavior of both material types. A special focus was paid to the determination of kinetic parameters from DEA measurements. Reaction rates of the curing of the corresponding thermosets were calculated and applied to the ion viscosity curves measured by DEA to evaluate reaction kinetic parameters. For the dental composites it could be clearly shown that the initial curing rate is directly proportional to light intensity and not to its square root as proposed by many others authors. A good description of the curing behaviour of 3DP RP materials was also achieved assuming a reaction order smaller than one. This data provides the base for the kinetic modeling of polymerization and curing processes proposed within the Thesis.

This book presents bond graph model-based fault detection with a focus on hybrid system models. The book addresses model design, simulation, control and model-based fault diagnosis of multidisciplinary engineering systems. The text beings with a brief survey of the state-of-the-art, then focuses on hybrid systems. The author then uses different bond graph approaches throughout the text and provides case studies.
