Modeling Hypersonic Reentry from the Martian Thermosphere down to the Troposphere

Maximilian Maigler & Valentina Pessina (Institute of Plasmatechnology, UniBw M) With the increased interest of both private and public institutions to make manned missions to Mars possible, it is crucial to accurately predict to aerothermal loads on the spacecraft during hypersonic reentry, furthermore due to trajectory analyses to control the…

Single machine scheduling with position dependent maintenance

M. Sc. Andreas Hipp (Chair of Business Administration, HSU) Machine wear and tear is a typical problem that must be dealt with in real-world production environments. In scheduling research since the 1980s, time-dependent deterioration is usually identified as the main factor for machine wear. In our work, we focus on…

The 2-stage no-wait hybrid flow shop scheduling problem

M. Sc. Andreas Hipp (Chair of Business Administration, HSU) Hybrid flow shop (HFS) scheduling problems as a flow shop production layout adding parallel machines on at least one stage of operation represent popular systems in real-world production environments.  In our work, we focus on the no-wait HFS scheduling problem. The…

Monte Carlo simulations of real fluids

Univ.-Prof. Dr.–Ing. Karsten Meier (Chair of Thermodynamics, HSU) Thermodynamic properties of gases and liquids over wide ranges of temperature and pressure can be determined by molecular-dynamics or Monte Carlo simulations. In such simulations, the interactions between molecules are almost exclusively modeled by simple effective pair potentials, such as the Lennard-Jones potential. With such…

Enabling High-Throughput Studies of Reactive Materials

Christopher Lange (Department of Mechanical Engineering, HSU) The project aims at establishing an optimized simulation framework for the atomistic modeling of impact-induced chemical reactions in new weapon materials. In our mechano-chemical research we combine atomic and molecular dynamics simulations. Strain-dependent reaction paths are determined with static ab initio simulations and coupled…

benEFIT- Numerical simulation of non-destructive testing in concrete

Fabian Dethof (Professorship Engineering Materials and Building Preservation, HSU) In order to assess the current state of concrete structures like a buildings or bridges without causing any damage, different non-destructive testing (NDT) methods can be performed. Some of those methods are based on elastic wave propagation like the ultrasonic testing (UT)…
