Profitability of Photovoltaic and Battery Systems on Municipal Buildings
2020 Renew Energ, Band: 153, Seiten: 1163 - 1173
KurzfassungThe increasing gap between electricity prices and feed-in tariffs for photovoltaic (PV) electricity in many countries, along with the recent strong cost degression of batteries, led to a rise in installed combined PV and battery systems worldwide. The load profile of a property greatly affects the self-consumption rate and, thus, the profitability of the system. Therefore, insights from analyses of residential applications, which are well studied, cannot simply be transferred to other types of properties. In comparison to residential applications, PV is especially suitable for municipal buildings, due to their better match of demand and supply. In order to analyze the value of additional batteries, municipal PV battery systems of different sizes were simulated, taking load profiles of 101 properties as inputs. It was found that self-consumption differs significantly from households, while different types of municipal buildings are largely similar in terms of the indicators analyzed. The share of electricity consumed during summertime was found to have the most significant impact on the self-consumption rate for most considered system sizes. Due to lower electricity tariffs and lower increases in self-consumption provided through batteries in municipal buildings, the investment into a battery is not economically advantageous in most of the cases considered.

Reducing Operational Costs of Offshore HVDC Energy Export Systems Through Optimized Maintenance
2020 Energies, Band: 13, Nummer: 1146, Seiten: 1 - 20
KurzfassungFor the grid connection of offshore wind farms today, in many cases a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) connection to the shore is implemented. The scheduled maintenance of the offshore and onshore HVDC stations makes up a significant part of the operational costs of the connected wind farms. The main factor for the maintenance cost is the lost income from the missing energy yield (indirect maintenance costs). In this study, we show an in-depth analysis of the used components, maintenance cycles, maintenance work for the on- and offshore station, and the risks assigned in prolonging the maintenance cycle of the modular multilevel converter (MMC). In addition, we investigate the potential to shift the start date of the maintenance work, based on a forecast of the energy generation. Our findings indicate that an optimized maintenance design with respect to the maintenance behavior of an HVDC energy export system can decrease the maintenance-related energy losses (indirect maintenance costs) for an offshore wind farm to almost one half. It was also shown that direct maintenance costs for the MMC (staff costs) have small effect on the total maintenance costs. This can be explained by the fact that the additional costs for maintenance staff are two orders of magnitude lower than the revenue losses during maintenance.

Vapor-Phase Formation of a Hole-Transporting Thiophene Polymer layer for Evaporated Perovskite Solar Cells
2020 Acs Appl Mater Inter
KurzfassungHomogeneous layer formation on textured silicon substrates is essential for the fabrication of highly efficient monolithic perovskite silicon tandem solar cells. From all well-known techniques for fabrication of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the evaporation method offers the highest degree of freedom for layer-by-layer deposition independent of the substrate´s roughness or texturing. Hole-transporting polymers with high hole mobility and structural stability have been used as effective hole-transporting materials (HTMs) of PSCs. However, the strong intermolecular interactions of the polymers do not allow for a layer formation via the evaporation method which is a big challenge for the perovskite community. Herein, we firstly applied a hole-transporting terthiophene polymer (PTTh) as a HTM for evaporated PSCs via an in-situ vapor phase polymerization using iodine (I2) as a sublimable oxidative agent.

Analysis of Avoided Transmission Through Decentralized Photovoltaic and Battery Storage Systems
2019 IEEE T Sustain Energ, Band: Forthcoming
KurzfassungDecentralized renewable energy systems can be low-carbon power sources, and promoters of local economies. It is often argued that decentralized generation also helps reducing transmission costs, as generation is closer to the load, thus utilizing the transmission system less. The research presented here addresses the question whether or not, or under what circumstances this effect of avoided transmission can actually be seen for a community-operated cluster of photovoltaic (PV) power plants in two sample locations, one in Germany and one in Japan. For the analysis, the newly developed instrument of MPI-MPE diagrams is used, which plot the maximum power import (MPI) and maximum power export (MPE) in relation to the reference case of no local generation. Results reveal that for moderately sized PV systems without battery storage, avoided transmission can be seen in the Japanese model location, but not in Germany. It was also found that an additional battery storage can lead to avoided transmission in both locations, even for large sizes of installed PV capacity.

Back-Contacted Back-Junction Si Solar Cells with Locally Overcompensated Diffusion Regions - Comparison of Buried Emitter and Floating Base Design
2019 physica status solidi (a), Band: 216, Nummer: 4, Seite: 1800791
KurzfassungBack-contacted back-junction n-type Si solar cells with locally overcompensated diffusion regions are investigated in two different designs. In the “buried emitter” design, boron-doped (B-doped) emitter diffusions are partially diffused and locally overcompensated by phosphor-doped (P-doped) back surface field (BSF) diffusions, leading to n-type regions that are overlapping the p-type regions. In the “floating base” design, the B-diffusions are diffused on the entire rear side, so that the P-diffusions are separated from the base by the emitter. Hence, p-type regions exist between the n-type regions, creating opposing p-n junctions and a base that is floating. For the latter design with an efficiency of 17.1%, the open-circuit voltage Voc, the short-circuit current density Jsc, and the fill factor FF are significantly reduced by about 25mV, 5mAcm2, and 4%, respectively, compared to the buried emitter design where 678mV, 41.5mAcm2, and 76.1%, respectively, and an efficiency of 21.4% can be achieved. Two-dimensional numerical device simulations reveal that, besides junction and/or shunt leakage currents, recombination at the surface of the emitter and electron transport in the Band P-diffusions due to the opposing p-n junctions are detrimental for the performance of the “floating base” solar cell.

Hybrid Evaporation/Spray-Coating Process for a Simplified and Controllable Production of Perovskite Solar Cells
2019 IEEE J Photovolt, Band: 10, Nummer: 1, Seiten: 276 - 286
KurzfassungRecently, hybrid processing using evaporation and spin-coating has been applied for the fabrication of perovskite silicon tandem solar cells with record power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 25.2%. To achieve large area, high-throughput production of solar cells, spray-coating, a well-known scalable method used in the industry, has advantages over spin-coating. Therefore, we apply a hybrid method using the evaporation of PbI 2 and spraying of methylammonium iodide (MAI) for the fabrication of perovskite solar cells. This article presents a systematic study of sprayed MAI amount and processing parameters on the performance of solar cells. We find clear correlations between the processing parameters of the sprayed MAI, the crystallinity of CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 and the PCE of the resulting PSCs. High crystallinity and morphology of the CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 film is achieved using a slow nozzle speed of 30 mm·s −1 …

Imaging Interstitial Iron Concentrations in Gallium-Doped Silicon Wafers
2019 physica status solidi (a), Band: 121, Seite: 1800655
KurzfassungIn this work, the established method of iron imaging is transferred from B-doped silicon to Ga-doped material. For this purpose, the pairing and splitting conditions are investigated and a preparation procedure suggested that ensures a sufficient fraction of iron–gallium pairing and splitting, respectively. Furthermore the defect parameters available in literature are compared and evaluated for a suitable description of the injection dependent carrier lifetime measurements. A parameter set that enables a coherent and adequate iron evaluation is suggested. Thus, a robust method for spatially resolved determination of the interstitial iron concentration in Ga-doped silicon wafers is presented.

Inkjet‐ and FlexTrail‐Printing with Low Silver Consumption for Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells
2019 physica status solidi (RRL) - Rapid Research Letters, Band: 3, Seite: 1900186
KurzfassungBifacial busbarless silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells with an edge length of 156.8mm are metalized using a commercially available Ag nanoparticle ink on the front side. By means of inkjet-printing, a maximum conversion efficiency of 23.3% is achieved. The influence of the inkjet-printed layer number per contact finger, which is varied from one to five, on cell performance is investigated in detail. Optima are found for one and two layers, which ensure both high efficiency and low silver consumption. Furthermore, a novel metallization technology, called FlexTrail-printing, is introduced. Using the same ink as in the case of inkjet-printing, the finger width is reduced from 75 1 to 16 1 μm. This results in an enhanced short-circuit current density and, therefore, a maximum conversion efficiency of 23.7%. Only 0.3 0.1 mg Ag nanoparticle ink (deposited at 25 C substrate temperature) is consumed during FlexTrail-printing on a large-area wafer (area of 244.3 cm2) with a front grid of 80 fingers.

Limiting defects in n‐type multicrystalline silicon solar cells
2019 physica status solidi (a)
KurzfassungMulticrystalline solar cells made from n‐type silicon feedstock have shown record efficiencies of 22.3% in a TOPCon cell structure. Still, material related carrier recombination limits the attainable efficiency. In this article, we summarize findings of metallic impurity and structural defect concentration present in n‐type mc silicon and elaborate on their limiting properties on carrier lifetime and cell performance. Applying a dedicated model for carrier recombination at precipitate‐silicon interfaces it is demonstrated that carrier recombination at metallic precipitates may dominate in the analyzed material. Direct evidence of the recombination activity of iron precipitates in n‐type silicon is given by an analysis of intentionally grown iron precipitates: From a comparison of μXRF analyses of differently sized iron precipitates and local carrier recombination from μPL a direct correlation to enhanced carrier recombination is found. From these results, it is concluded that high‐performance n‐type mc silicon is limited by recombination at (decorated) structural defects namely dislocation clusters and grain boundaries whereas defects in the inner grains are not limiting the efficiency potential. Finally, cell degradation under illumination and elevated temperature for n‐type multicrystalline silicon solar cells are discussed.

Operational Flexibility of Small-Scale Electricity-Coupled Heat Generating Units
2019 Technology and Economics of Smart Grids and Sustainable Energy, Band: 4, Nummer: 8, Seiten: 1 - 16
KurzfassungHeat generation that is coupled with electricity usage, like combined heat and power generators or heat pumps, can provide operational flexibility to the electricity sector. In order to make use of this in an optimized way, the flexibility that can be provided by such plants needs to be properly quantified. This paper proposes a method for quantifying the flexibility provided through a cluster of such heat generators. It takes into account minimum operational time and minimum down-time of heat generating units. Flexibility is defined here as the time period over which plant operation can be either delayed or forced into operation, thus providing upward or downward regulation to the power system on demand. Results for one case study show that a cluster of several smaller heat generation units does not provide much more delayed operation flexibility than one large unit with the same power, while it more than doubles the forced operation flexibility. Considering minimum operational time and minimum down-time of the units considerably limits the available forced and delayed operation flexibility, especially in the case of one large unit.

Quantitative Local Loss Analysis of Blade-Coated Perovskite Solar Cells
2019 ´, Seite: 1–8
KurzfassungMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators that repress the expression of their targets. They are known to work cooperatively with genes and play important roles in numerous cellular processes. Identification of miRNA regulatory modules (MRMs) would aid deciphering the combinatorial effects derived from the many-to-many regulatory relationships in complex cellular systems. Here, we develop an effective method called BiCliques Merging (BCM) to predict MRMs based on bicliques merging. By integrating the miRNA/mRNA expression profiles from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) with the computational target predictions, we construct a weighted miRNA regulatory network for module discovery. The maximal bicliques detected in the network are statistically evaluated and filtered accordingly. We then employed a greedy-based strategy to iteratively merge the remaining bicliques according to their overlaps together with edge weights and the gene-gene interactions. Comparing with existing methods on two cancer datasets from TCGA, we showed that the modules identified by our method are more densely connected and functionally enriched. Moreover, our predicted modules are more enriched for miRNA families and the miRNA-mRNA pairs within the modules are more negatively correlated. Finally, several potential prognostic modules are revealed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and breast cancer subtype analysis.

Sectoral Interactions as Carbon Dioxide Emissions Approach Zero in a Highly-Renewable European Energy System
2019 Energies, Band: 12, Seite: 1032
KurzfassungMeasures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions are often considered separately, in terms of electricity, heating, transport, and industry. This can lead to the measures being prioritised in the wrong sectors, and neglects interactions between the sectors. In addition, studies often focus on specific greenhouse gas reduction targets, despite the uncertainty regarding what targets are desirable and when. In this paper, these issues are examined for the period after 2030 in an existing openly-available, hourly-resolved, per-country, and highly-renewable model of the European energy system, PyPSA-Eur-Sec-30, that includes electricity, land transport, and space and water heating. A parameter sweep of different reduction targets for direct carbon dioxide emissions is performed, ranging from no target down to zero direct emissions. The composition of system investments, the interactions between the energy sectors, shadow prices, and the market values of the system components are analysed as the carbon dioxide limit changes. Electricity and land transport are defossilised first, while the reduction of emissions in space and water heating is delayed by the expense of new components and the difficulty of supplying heat during cold spells with low wind and solar power generation. For deep carbon dioxide reduction, power-to-gas changes the system dynamics by reducing curtailment and increasing the market values of wind and solar power. Using this model setup, cost projections for 2030, and optimal cross-border transmission, the costs of a zero-direct-emission system in these sectors are marginally cheaper than today’s system, even before the health and environmental benefits are taken into account.

Semi-Transparent Perovskite Solar Cells with ITO Directly Sputtered on Spiro-OMeTAD for Tandem Applications
2019 Acs Appl Mater Inter, Band: 11, Nummer: 49, Seiten: 45796 - 4580
KurzfassungPerovskite silicon tandem solar cells have the potential to overcome the efficiency limit of single-junction solar cells. For both monolithic and mechanically stacked tandem devices, a semi-transparent perovskite top solar cell, including a transparent contact, is required. Usually, this contact consists of a metal oxide buffer layer and a sputtered transparent conductive oxide. In this work, semi-transparent perovskite solar cells in the regular n–i–p structure are presented with tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) directly sputtered on the hole conducting material Spiro-OMeTAD. ITO process parameters such as sputter power, temperature, and pressure in the chamber are systematically varied. While a low temperature of 50 °C is crucial for good device performance, a low sputter power has only a slight effect, and an increased chamber pressure has no influence on device performance. For the 5 × 5 mm2 perovskite cell with a …

Studying dopant diffusion from Poly-Si passivating contacts
2019 Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Band: 200, Seite: 109978
KurzfassungThe diffusion of dopants from the poly-Si layer through the interfacial oxide into the crystalline silicon wafer is studied experimentally and via numerical simulation. It is found that phosphorus piles up at the poly-Si/SiOx interface but boron readily diffuses through the oxide into the silicon and thereby forms a less shallow junction which adversely affects surface passivation. Although boron diffusion was suppressed by using a nitrided oxide – realized by a plasma oxidation process – a reduction in passivation was observed due to deterioration of the interface. Via 1D and 3D process simulation it was established that diffusion through pinholes contributed little to the aggregate diffusion profiles measured by ToF-SIMS but direct diffusion through the oxide was the main diffusion mechanism. The segregation coefficient at the poly-Si/SiOx interface and the diffusivity in SiOx were determined. Using these parameters simulation-based predictions were conducted in order to pave the way for future optimization of hole-selective passivating contacts.

Suns-ILIT: Contact-less determination of local solar cell current-voltage characteristics.
2019 Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Band: 191, Seite: 71–77
KurzfassungWe present a novel method to analyze the local current-voltage I-V characteristics of both solar cells and cell precursors. The method, which we call “Suns-ILIT”, is based on illuminated lock-in thermography (ILIT) measurements and photoluminescence imaging (PLI) in open-circuit conditions with varying illumination intensities. Compared to conventional techniques for the determination of local solar cell parameters, the advantage of Suns-ILIT lies in the high accuracy while imposing minimal requirements on the sample. In particular, no electrical contact to the sample is needed. We derive the necessary equations from the contributions to the power dissipation and investigate the impact of the Peltier heating and cooling on the final outcome. The method is applied to a standard multicrystalline silicon PERC solar cell for demonstration.

The Recombination between Photogenerated and Electrode-Induced Charges Dominates the Fill Factor Losses in Optimized Organic Solar Cells
2019 The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters
KurzfassungCharge extraction in organic solar cells (OSCs) is commonly believed to be limited by bimolecular recombination of photogenerated charges. Yet, the fill factor of OSCs is usually almost entirely governed by recombination processes that scale with the first-order of the light intensity. This linear loss was often interpreted to be a consequence of geminate or trap-assisted recombination. Numerical simulations show that this linear dependence is a direct consequence of the large amount of excess dark charge near the contact. The first-order losses increase with decreasing mobility of minority carriers and we discuss the impact of several material and device parameters on this loss mechanism. This work highlights that OSCs are especially vulnerable to injected charges as a result of their poor charge transport properties. This implicates that dark charges need to be better accounted for when interpreting electro-optical measurements and charge collection based on simple figures of merit.

The Role of Surface Passivation Layer Preparation on Crystallization and Optoelectronic Performance of Hybrid Evaporated-Spincoated Perovskite Solar Cells
2019 IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, Seite: 1–8
KurzfassungThe main advantages of the organic–inorganic halide perovskite solar cell technology are high efficiencies achieved after short development time in combination with rather simple solutionbased processing. In this paper, we address remaining challenges by presenting a low-temperature two-step hybrid evaporationspincoating method that combines high reproducibility with easy fabrication and high stabilized efficiencies, which is compatible with the processing of pervoskite silicon tandem solar cells and avoids using hazardous solvents such as dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide. Lead iodide (PbI2) is thermally evaporated and subsequently converted into a compact crystalline perovskite layer by methylammonium iodide spincoating. Moreover, the role of the interface passivation between perovskite absorber and electron transport layer on crystallization and optoelectronic properties of the perovskite absorber is investigated within a systematic thickness and concentration variation of [6, 6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester passivation layer and by analyzing charge extraction with spatial and time resolved photoluminescence measurements. With an optimized charge extraction, 18.2% stabilized efficiency under one sun illumination is achieved. This is the highest value reported so far for the single junction perovskite solar cells made by a two-step hybrid evaporation-spincoating method.

Charge carrier transport mechanisms of passivating contacts studied by temperature-dependent J-V measurements
2018 Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Band: 178, Seite: 15–19
KurzfassungThe charge carrier transport mechanism of passivating contacts which feature an ultra-thin oxide layer is investigated by studying temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics. 4-Terminal dark J-V measurements at low temperatures reveal non-linear J-V characteristics of passivating contacts with a homogeneously grown silicon oxide, which result in an exponential increase in contact resistance towards lower temperature. The attempt to describe the R(T) characteristic solely by thermionic emission of charge carriers across an energy barrier leads to a significant underestimation of the resistance by several orders of magnitude. However, the data can be described properly with the metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) theory if tunneling of charge carriers through the silicon oxide layer is taken into account. Furthermore, temperature-dependent light J-V characteristics of solar cells featuring passivating contacts at the rear revealed a FF drop at T<205 K, which is near the onset temperature of the exponential increase in contact resistivity.

Control algorithms for electrolyzers - Hydrogen from green electricity
2018 BKW, Band: 70, Nummer: 7/8, Seiten: 36 - 39
KurzfassungIn 2017, the share of renewables in power generation in Germany was around 33 %. By 2030, according to the will of the federal government, it should be as high as 65 %. A large proportion of electricity from wind and solar energy will in future require electricity storage. Particularly promising is the conversion to hydrogen. Research, industry and the energy sector are currently driving forward the development and use of water electrolysers. The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE and the University of Applied Sciences Offenburg, in cooperation with the energy provider badenova and the gas network operator bnNetz have developed operating management algorithms for electrolyzers and tested them at research facilities. Within the project, the integration of hydrogen into municipal gas and electricity grids and into a local energy grid could be tested taking into account the current regulations and economic constraints. Thereby, the partners have laid important foundations for the use of the energy carrier hydrogen.

Cost optimal scenarios of a future highly renewable European electricity system: Exploring the influence of weather data, cost parameters and policy constraints
2018 Energy, Band: 163, Seiten: 100 - 114
KurzfassungCost optimal scenarios derived from models of a highly renewable electricity system depend on the specific input data, cost assumptions and system constraints. Here this influence is studied using a techno-economic optimisation model for a networked system of 30 European countries, taking into account the capacity investment and operation of wind, solar, hydroelectricity, natural gas power gen- eration, transmission, and different storage options. A considerable robustness of total system costs to the input weather data and to moderate changes in the cost assumptions is observed. Flat directions in the optimisation landscape around cost-optimal configurations often allow system planners to choose between different technology options without a significant increase in total costs, for instance by replacing onshore with offshore wind power capacity in case of public acceptance issues. Exploring a range of carbon dioxide emission limits shows that for scenarios with moderate transmission expansion, a reduction of around 57% compared to 1990 levels is already cost optimal. For stricter carbon dioxide limits, power generated from gas turbines is at first replaced by generation from increasing renewable capacities. Non-hydro storage capacities are only built for low-emission scenarios, in order to provide the necessary flexibility to meet peaks in the residual load.

Detailed Investigation of Evaporated Perovskite Absorbers with High Crystal Quality on Different Substrates
2018 ACS applied materials & interfaces
KurzfassungDual-source vapor-phase deposition enables low-temperature fabrication of high-performance planar structure perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) solar cells (PSCs), applicable in tandem devices or for industrial production with high homogeneity. Herein, we report low-temperature fabrication of high-efficiency PSCs by dual-source vapor-phase deposition and significance of TiO2 surface modification with [6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) on cell performance. Co-evaporation of PbI2 and CH3NH3I, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analyses, results in CH3NH3PbI3 layers with a well-crystallized tetragonal phase formed on both TiO2 and TiO2/PCBM electron-transport layers (ETLs). The devices with PCBM interlayer between TiO2 and CH3NH3PbI3 showed remarkably higher performance than those with TiO2 only, which was attributed to enhance charge extraction and reduced recombination at the TiO2/PCBM/CH3NH3PbI3 interface. The devices composed of evaporated CH3NH3PbI3 on top of the TiO2/PCBM and [2,2',7,7'-tetrakis( N, N-di- p-methoxyphenyl-amine)-9,9'-spirobifluorene] (Spiro-OMeTAD) as hole-transport material demonstrated power conversion efficiencies of 17.1% (reverse scan) and 13.4% (forward scan) with stabilized efficiency of over 16%, which is, to the best of our knowledge, the highest efficiency reported for evaporated perovskite solar cells using low-temperature fabrication method involving compact TiO2 layer as ETL. Furthermore, we show that this process can be used to deposit a CH3NH3PbI3 layer on top of a textured silicon substrate, which is the first step for preparing perovskite-silicon tandem devices with enhanced antireflection and light-trapping properties.

KurzfassungFor the first time, the influence of the manufacturing process on the dynamic performance of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, Dyneema® HB26) composites is investigated. The material is significantly influenced by the hot-pressing parameters temperature and pressure. The ballistic resistance and shock wave behavior was characterized for the UHMWPE composite consolidated with three different pressures. In the case of UHMWPE composites, higher consolidation pressures result in a better ballistic performance. The shock wave behavior converges to high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Based on these observations, an analytical approach is proposed describing the equation of state as a function of consolidation pressure.

Efficiency Enhancement and Hysteresis Mitigation by Manipulation of Grain Growth Conditions in Hybrid Evaporated-Spincoated Perovskite Solar Cells
2018 ACS applied materials & interfaces
KurzfassungPerovskite solar cells became a game changer in the field of photovoltaics by reaching power conversion efficiencies (PCE) beyond 23%. To achieve even higher efficiencies it is necessary to increase the understanding of crystallization, grain formation and layer ripening. In this study, by a systematic variation of the MAI concentrations we changed the stoichiometry and thereupon the crystal growth conditions in MAPbI3 perovskite solar cells, prepared by a two-step hybrid evaporation-spincoating deposition method. Utilizing X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force miscroscopy (AFM), photoluminescence (PL) and current-voltage (J-V) characterization, we found that a relatively lower concentration of MAI or in other words higher content of remnant and unconverted PbI2 correlates with smaller and stronger interconnected grains, as well as with an improved optoelectronic performance of the solar cells and mitigation of hysteresis. Possible explanations are grain and interface passivation by the excess PbI2 and a positive contribution of the grain boundaries to current extraction.

Electron-selective contacts via ultra-thin organic interface dipoles for silicon organic heterojunction solar cells
2018 Journal of Applied Physics, Band: 123, Nummer: 2, Seite: 024505
KurzfassungIn the last years, novel materials for the formation of electron-selective contacts on n-type crystalline silicon (c-Si) heterojunction solar cells were explored as an interfacial layer between the metal electrode and the c-Si wafer. Besides inorganic materials like transition metal oxides or alkali metal fluorides, also interfacial layers based on organic molecules with a permanent dipole moment are promising candidates to improve the contact properties. Here, the dipole effect plays an essential role in the modification of the interface and effective work function of the contact. The amino acids L-histidine, L-tryptophan, L-phenylalanine, glycine, and sarcosine, the nucleobase adenine, and the heterocycle 4-hydroxypyridine were investigated as dipole materials for an electronselective contact on the back of p- and n-type c-Si with a metal electrode based on aluminum (Al). Furthermore, the effect of an added fluorosurfactant on the resulting contact properties was examined. The performance of n-type c-Si solar cells with a boron diffusion on the front was significantly increased when L-histidine and/or the fluorosurfactant was applied as a full-area back surface field. This improvement was attributed to the modification of the interface and the effective work function of the contact by the dipole material which was corroborated by numerical device simulations. For these solar cells, conversion efficiencies of 17.5% were obtained with open-circuit voltages (Voc) of 625mV and fill factors of 76.3%, showing the potential of organic interface dipoles for silicon organic heterojunction solar cells due to their simple formation by solution processing and their low thermal budget requirements.

Field stitching approach for the wave optical modeling of black solicon structures
2018 Opt Express, Band: 26, Nummer: 22, Seite: A937
KurzfassungThe interest in black silicon structures as an anti-reflective interface at the front side of silicon solar cells increased strongly with the rise of diamond wire sawing. The application of optical modeling in order to predict optimal structure parameters could be highly valuable. However, due to the random nature of the structure as well as dimensions in the range of the wavelengths of interest, optical modeling is still a challenge. Within this work, the stitching method of rigorously calculated fields is extended and applied to a black silicon structure. A Fourier transform is used to determine the angular intensity distribution in the far field. In combination with the OPTOS formalism, this allows modeling of silicon substrates with black silicon front side and shows a reasonably good agreement with optical measurement results. Implementing the investigated structure into a solar cell configuration reveals not only a low reflectance but also a very good light trapping performance close to that of a Lambertian scatterer

Flow tracing as a tool set for the analysis of networked large-scale renewable electricity systems
2018 Int J Elec Power, Band: 96, Seiten: 390 - 397
KurzfassungThe method of flow tracing follows the power flow from net-generating sources through the network to the net-consuming sinks, which allows to assign the usage of the underlying transmission infrastructure to the system participants. This article presents a reformulation that is applicable to arbitrary compositions of inflow appearing naturally in models of large-scale electricity systems with a high share of renewable power generation. We propose an application which allows to associate power flows on the grid to specific regions or generation technologies, and emphasizes the capability of this technique to disentangle the spatio-temporal patterns of physical imports and exports occurring in such systems. The analytical potential of this method is showcased for a scenario based on the IEEE 118 bus network.

Flow-based nodal cost allocation in a heterogeneous highly renewable European electricity network
2018 Energy, Band: 150, Seiten: 122 - 133
KurzfassungFor a cost efficient design of a future renewable European electricity system, the placement of renewable generation capacity will seek to exploit locations with good resource quality, that is for instance onshore wind in countries bordering the North Sea and solar PV in South European countries. Regions with less favorable renewable generation conditions benefit from this remote capacity by importing the respective electricity as power flows through the transmission grid. The resulting intricate pattern of imports and exports represents a challenge for the analysis of system costs on the level of individual countries. Using a tracing technique, we introduce flow-based nodal levelized costs of electricity (LCOE) which allow to incorporate capital and operational costs associated with the usage of generation capacity located outside the respective country under consideration. This concept and a complementary allocation of transmission infrastructure costs is applied to a simplified model of an interconnected highly renewable European electricity system. We observe that cooperation between the European countries in a heterogeneous system layout does not only reduce the system-wide LCOE, but also the flow-based nodal LCOEs for every country individually.

III–V-on-silicon solar cells reaching 33% photoconversion efficiency in two-terminal configuration
2018 Nature Energy, Band: 3, Nummer: 4, Seite: 326–333
KurzfassungSilicon dominates the photovoltaic industry but the conversion efficiency of silicon single-junction solar cells is intrinsically constrained to 29.4%, and practically limited to around 27%. It is possible to overcome this limit by combining silicon with high-bandgap materials, such as III–V semiconductors, in a multi-junction device. Significant challenges associated with this material combination have hindered the development of highly efficient III–V/Si solar cells. Here, we demonstrate a III–V/Si cell reaching similar performances to standard III–V/Ge triple-junction solar cells. This device is fabricated using wafer bonding to permanently join a GaInP/GaAs top cell with a silicon bottom cell. The key issues of III–V/Si interface recombination and silicon's weak absorption are addressed using poly-silicon/SiOx passivating contacts and a novel rear-side diffraction grating for the silicon bottom cell. With these combined features, we demonstrate a two-terminal GaInP/GaAs//Si solar cell reaching a 1-sun AM1.5G conversion efficiency of 33.3%.

Impact of bulk impurity contamination on the performance of high-efficiency n -type silicon solar cells
2018 Prog Photovoltaics, Band: 24, Nummer: 10, Seite: 1319
KurzfassungThe experimental variation of wafer thickness and resistivity at device level combined with a comprehensive device simulation study allows the identification of dominating recombinationinduced power loss mechanisms in high‐efficiency n‐type silicon solar cells (A. Richter et al, Sol. Energy Mater. Sol. Cells 173, p. 96, 2017). Under the assumption of specific Shockley‐Read‐Hall (SRH) recombination parameters, impurity recombination within the silicon bulk was identified as one main source for efficiency losses particularly for solar cells made of high‐resistivity silicon. In this work, we extend that analysis approach focusing on the SRH recombination parameters in order to investigate whether certain properties of these recombination‐active impurities can be identified using this kind of simulation‐based analysis. Reported SRH recombination parameters of various common impurities (eg, Fe, Cr, or Ni) were considered. It was found that a dominating role of certain impurities as Cu, Au, Co, or Zn can be excluded. A general simulation study as a function of the fundamental SRH recombination parameters allowed us to reduce the possible SRH parameters significantly in particular of the capture cross‐section ratio of electrons and holes. These results demonstrate that our analysis approach, which combines an experimental variation of wafer thickness and resistivity with a comprehensive device simulation, can provide deep insights into the solar cells loss mechanisms. In particular, the conclusions regarding SRH recombination are of importance for solar cells made of n‐type silicon as there are no meta‐stable impurity states formed that would allow a direct identification of impurity recombination–related power loss as reported for p‐type Si.

Insulating and passivating plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposited aluminum oxide thin films for silicon solar cells
2018 Thin Solid Films, Band: 656, Seite: 53–60
KurzfassungPlasma-enhanced atomic layer deposited (PEALD) aluminum oxide (Al2O3) thin film were investigated with respect to their application in silicon solar cells where not only excellent surface passivation but also excellent electrical insulation properties are required. In this study, the insulation properties of about 10 nm to almost 250 nm Al2O3 thin films, deposited at temperatures in the range of 100 °C to 350 °C and annealed in the range of 250 °C to 450 °C, were correlated to various thin film properties, most notably the thin film defect density, i. e. pinhole density, and the thin film stress. Al2O3 thin films provide sufficient electrical insulation after a postdeposition annealing step at 450 °C when deposited at 250 °C with thickness of at least 80 nm which can be attributed to a low defect density and low stress in the thin films, allowing a low leakage current density and a high breakdown voltage that was independent of the type of metals used for the electrode. Al2O3 thin films deposited and annealed at these temperatures enabled a very good surface passivation of silicon. These results indicate that Al2O3 thin films realized by PEALD are a promising candidate for silicon solar cells that rely on passivating as well as insulating thin films.

Low-Resistivity Screen-Printed Contacts on Indium Tin Oxide Layers for Silicon Solar Cells With Passivating Contacts
2018 IEEE J Photovolt
KurzfassungThe capability for contact formation on indium tin oxide layers of different low-temperature screen printing silver pastes after thermal curing and photonic sintering is evaluated in detail. The 80-nm-thick indium tin oxide layers used in this study are sputtered at three different oxygen gas flows and, consequently, differ by their electrical and optical properties. All pastes are analyzed by means of simultaneous thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry. After printing and contact formation processing, the lateral resistivity of the metal contacts and their contact resistivity to the indium tin oxide layers are determined. Furthermore, the microstructure of the metal electrodes is investigated to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying contact formation mechanisms. Besides low-temperature curing at T curing,low = 180–220 °C, as conventionally applied to silicon heterojunction solar cells, photonic sintering and thermal curing at medium temperatures T curing,mid = 250–350 °C are utilized. The higher curing temperatures in the range of T curing,mid enhance the sintering and densification processes of the different pastes, and thereby, lateral resistivities of 2.4–3.5 μΩ⋅cm and contact resistivities of 1.0–2.5 mΩ⋅cm2 are achieved. The results indicate a promising industry-relevant non-firing-through metallization approach for, e.g., poly-silicon-based structures like tunnel oxide passivating contacts, which allow comparatively high temperatures for contact formation processing. With thermal curing at T curing,low and photonic sintering, both compatible with temperature-sensitive silicon heterojunction solar cells, lateral finger resistivities of 6.5–9.4 μΩ⋅cm and contact resistivities of 1.2–2.5 mΩ⋅cm2 are achieved. Thereby, photonic sintering has the potential of a significantly reduced process time from several minutes down to 1–4 ms.

Mesoscale investigation of dynamic fracture in quartzite and sandstone and homogenization to macroscale
2018 Int J Solids Struct, Band: 144-145, Seiten: 160 - 179
KurzfassungThe work presented here is part of the MEMIN (Multidisciplinary Experimental and Modeling Impact Research Network) project, which is devoted to the experimental and numerical investigation of the effects of meteorite impact on geological materials from laboratory scale to natural scale. In general, high velocity impacts on rock material causes fractures in the target that may lead to spallation of material near surfaces. While spallation effects are of great importance for laboratory scale craters, they are much less significant in natural craters. Therefore, they need to be taken into account when comparing natural craters with laboratory craters, particularly, when scaling laws that provide relationships between laboratory and natural craters shall be developed. This scale bridging requires realistic quantification of spallation effects, which can be done with numerical methods if appropriate material models exist. For this purpose, we investigate dynamic fracture in quartzite and sandstone. We present a new methodology to derive three dimensional macroscale material data from one-dimensional dynamic fracture experiments, namely Hopkinson-Bar experiments in the spallation configuration, using a new mesoscale simulation model. Simulations are conducted with the in-house hydrocode SOPHIA. Mesoscopic material parameters are identified from a parameter study such that simulated macroscopic failure quantities conform to experimentally measured data. The calibrated mesoscale model is then subjected to a set of multiaxial load cases in order to derive macroscopic yield and failure parameters using averaging techniques. The results can be directly used to calibrate macroscale material models for dynamic fracture and will support the predictability of laboratory craters and, in particular, of spallation effects.

Morphology dependent assessment of resilience for urban areas
2018 Sustainability, Band: 10, Seiten: 1 - 14
KurzfassungThe formation of new threats and the increasing complexity of urban built infrastructures underline the need for more robust and sustainable systems, which are able to cope with adverse events. Achieving sustainability requires the strengthening of resilience. Currently, a comprehensive approach for the quantification of resilience of urban infrastructure is missing. Within this paper, a new generalized mathematical framework is presented. A clear definition of terms and their interaction builds the basis of this resilience assessment scheme. Classical risk-based as well as additional components are aligned along the timeline before, during and after disruptive events, to quantify the susceptibility, the vulnerability and the response and recovery behavior of complex systems for multiple threat scenarios. The approach allows the evaluation of complete urban surroundings and enables a quantitative comparison with other development plans or cities. A comprehensive resilience framework should cover at least preparation, prevention, protection, response and recovery. The presented approach determines respective indicators and provides decision support, which enhancement measures are more effective. Hence, the framework quantifies for instance, if it is better to avoid a hazardous event or to tolerate an event with an increased robustness. An application example is given to assess different urban forms, i.e., morphologies, with consideration of multiple adverse events, like terrorist attacks or earthquakes, and multiple buildings. Each urban object includes a certain number of attributes, like the object use, the construction type, the time-dependent number of persons and the value, to derive different performance targets. The assessment results in the identification of weak spots with respect to single resilience indicators. Based on the generalized mathematical formulation and suitable combination of indicators, this approach can quantify the resilience of urban morphologies, independent of possible single threat types and threat locations.

Numerical Simulation of Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cells Featuring Metal Oxides as Carrier-Selective Contacts
2018 IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, Band: 8, Nummer: 2, Seite: 456–464
KurzfassungThe applicability of different high (low) work function contact materials for the formation of alternative passivating and hole (electron) selective contacts is currently re-explored for silicon solar cells. To assist the engineering of those contacts, which is still in its infancy, numerical device simulations are used to improve knowledge regarding relevant heterojunction and thin film properties with the focus on metal oxide based hole contacts. The importance of 1) a high metal oxide work function for the induced c-Si pn-junction is shown. It is elucidated that for an efficient hole transport from this induced c-Si junction into the external electrode, via the buffer and the metal oxide, 2) the metal oxide’s conduction band must be below the valence band of the buffer (or c-Si absorber) for direct band-to-band tunneling, or 3) bulk traps near the valence band edge of the buffer (or c-Si absorber) are needed for trap-assisted tunneling.

Quantitative theoretical and experimental analysis of alloying from screen-printed aluminum pastes on silicon surfaces
2018 Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Band: 176, Seite: 295–301
KurzfassungIn this study, we present detailed theoretical and experimental investigations on full-area alloying from screenprinted aluminum pastes on silicon surfaces for solar cell applications. We introduce a simple analytical model for the description of the alloying process derived from existing models for evaporated Al layers, which we adapt to printed Al pastes. Thereby, we particularly account for the recrystallization of Si within the paste particles, which we refer to as parasitic Si recrystallization. Applying our model, we demonstrate good accordance of calculated with measured eutectic layer thicknesses. We show that the model can be versatilely used to investigate screen-printed Al-alloyed contacts in detail: We demonstrate that the latent heat of the Al paste significantly influences the alloying process. Thus, the effective peak temperature of the alloying process can be several 100 °C below the set peak temperature of the firing furnace. By combining calculations of the effective peak temperature with measurements of the Al doping concentration, we determine a parameterization of the solid solubility of Al in Si down to the eutectic temperature of 577 °C. Our investigations therefore provide improved understanding of alloying from printed Al pastes and enable the specific optimization of Al-alloyed contacts.

SiO 2 surface passivation layers – a key technology for silicon solar cells
2018 Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Band: 185, Seite: 260–269
KurzfassungHigh-efficiency silicon solar cells strongly rely on an effective reduction of charge carrier recombination at their surfaces, i.e. surface passivation. Today's industrial silicon solar cells often utilize dielectric surface passivation layers such as SiNx and Al2O3. However, a passivation layer well-known from the microelectronic industry, SiO2, had and has a strong impact on silicon photovoltaics. It allowed to develop the first 20% efficient silicon solar cells in the past and currently experiences a renaissance as the interfacial oxide for silicon-based passivating contacts, thus enabling the next generation of silicon solar cells. This article reviews the properties of SiO2 passivation layers and their strong impact on the historical and current development of silicon solar cells.

Theoretical study of pyramid sizes and scattering effects in silicon photovoltaic module stacks
2018 Opt Express, Band: 26, Nummer: 6, Seiten: A320 - A330
KurzfassungFront side pyramids are the industrial standard for wafer based monocrystalline silicon solar cells. These pyramids fulfill two tasks: They act as anti-reflective structure on the one hand and as a light-trapping structure on the other hand. In recent development smaller pyramids with sizes below 1 μm attract more and more interest. In this paper an optical analysis of periodically arranged front side pyramids is performed. The impact on the reflectance as well as on the useful absorption within the solar cell is investigated depending on the pyramids size, the amount of additional scattering in the system and the quality of the rear side reflector. In contrast to other investigations not only the solar cell, but the full photovoltaic (PV) module stack is considered. This can strongly influence results, as we show in this paper. The results indicate that in a PV module stack with realistic assumptions for the amount of scattering as well as for the rear side reflectance only small differences for pyramids with sizes above 600 nm occur. Preliminary conclusions for random pyramids deduced from these results for periodically arranged pyramids indicate that these differences could become even smaller.

Towards the efficiency limits of multicrystalline silicon solar cells
2018 Sol Energ Mat Sol C, Band: 185, Seiten: 198 - 204
KurzfassungIn this contribution, we present our recent results for high efficiency multicrystalline silicon solar cells. Based on n-type high-performance multicrystalline silicon substrates in combination with the TOPCon solar cell concept featuring a full area passivating back contact and a boron-diffused emitter as well as a plasma-etched black-silicon texture at the front side, a certified conversion efficiency of 22.3% has been achieved, which is currently the world record efficiency for multicrystalline silicon solar cells. A detailed loss analysis of the record solar cell batch discloses the nature of the remaining loss mechanisms, revealing the route for further improvements. We observe an efficiency gap between the multicrystalline and the FZ reference solar cells of ~1%abs. Compared to the FZ reference cells, the mc-Si cells also feature a significantly larger scattering in Voc and Jsc as well as a fill factor loss of ~1.5%abs. We show that the scattering in Jsc correlates with the area fraction of recombination-active structural crystal defects and the scattering in Voc additionally with lateral emitter-induced inhomogeneities. The fill factor loss is attributed to the general presence of strongly recombination-active grain boundaries. A detailed loss analysis of the record mc-Si solar cell shows that the major electrical losses are due to recombination at grain boundaries (0.7%abs) and recombination in the emitter (0.6%abs). By reducing these electrical loss channels, e.g. by an improved crystallization process together with a hydrogenation of the bulk and application of an adapted emitter, we expect to reach efficiencies for mc-Si solar cells in the range of 23%.

Validated 3D spatial stepwise quantitative hazard, risk and resilience analysis and management of explosive events in urban areas
2018 European Journal of security research, Band: Online First, Seiten: 1 - 37
KurzfassungUrban physical security and resilience with respect to accidental and intentional explosive events are an increasing issue regarding civil safety and security of modern societies and their citizens. Examples include industrial on-site explosions, gas explosions or terrorist attacks. In particular, multiple, simultaneous and maliciously time-coordinated events are an increasing event type such as complex attack events consisting of targeted combinations of improvised explosive devices. The paper presents a comprehensive, tailorable and stepwise process. This includes methodologies for scenario, hazard, damage, exposure, event frequency, risk and resilience analysis that have been developed, refined and praxis-tested over decades. The focus is on a summarizing description of the modern best practice approach, the validation efforts undertaken for each step as well as two detailed case studies for exemplary presentation and overall validation. In a comprehensive table, the present approach is compared with other state-of-the-art approaches. The paper shows a refined process how to systematically improve resilience when using the tool, in particular through barriers at explosive sites and at exposed sites of various geometries. Furthermore, along the presentation a set of quality requirements regarding explosive event risk and resilience analyses are provided as collected over the years from the in-field, user group and engineering science perspective as well as a broad outlook on extension options for the future.

A numerical study on mesoscale simulation of quartzite and sandstone under shock loading
2017 International Journal of Impact Engineering, Band: 108, Seite: 16
KurzfassungIn this paper, we present two numerical models for the mesoscale (grain scale) simulation of planar shock waves in quartzite and sandstone using the in-house hydrocode SOPHIA. The models are compared in terms of their capability to represent physical mechanisms, such as phase transitions in quartz and pore collapse in sandstone, and they are validated by comparison to literature data. The study is part of the MEMIN (Multidisciplinary Experimental and Modeling Impact Research Network) project, which is devoted to the experimental and numerical investigation of the effects of meteorite impact on geological materials from laboratory scale to natural scale. The first model is based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. Simulations with rather simplified structures in planar symmetry are presented. The model is used to investigate basic effects of porosity, pore geometry and water saturation. The second model presented is a more detailed, three-dimensional Finite Element (FE) model. With this model, the effects of grain anisotropy and different types of shear strength modeling are studied. In a parameter study, we investigate the influence of these parameters on shock Hugoniot relations, such as shock velocity (Us) vs. particle velocity (Up) and compressive longitudinal stress (sL) vs. Up. Finally, the models are compared and the specific advantages and disadvantages of the different modeling variants are outlined.

A simplified design for a Split-Hopkinson tension bar with long pulse duration
2017 Procedia Engineering, Band: 197, Seiten: 109 - 118
KurzfassungThis paper presents a simplified design for a Split-Hopkinson Tension Bar (SHTB) which allows for pulse durations exceeding one millisecond. This testing apparatus is intended for material characterization requiring large amounts of elongation, necessitated either by large specimen dimensions, or large strains to failure. The design proposed here can be assembled from off the shelve components without the need for specialized machining tools. The simple mechanical design is accompanied by a comparatively low-cost, yet high-speed, means of independently measuring specimen strain using a fast line scan camera. The performance of this SHTB implementation is demonstrated by obtaining intermediate strain rate results for tensile yield strength of Polycarbonate in an unprecedented quality.

Decompositions of injection patterns for nodal flow allocation in renewable electricity networks
2017 Eur Phys J B, Band: 90, Seite: 144
KurzfassungThe large-scale integration of fluctuating renewable power generation represents a challenge to the technical and economical design of a sustainable future electricity system. In this context, the increasing significance of long-range power transmission calls for innovative methods to understand the emerging complex flow patterns and to integrate price signals about the respective infrastructure needs into the energy market design. We introduce a decomposition method of injection patterns. Contrary to standard flow tracing approaches, it provides nodal allocations of link flows and costs in electricity networks by decomposing the network injection pattern into market-inspired elementary import/export building blocks. We apply the new approach to a simplified data-driven model of a European electricity grid with a high share of renewable wind and solar power generation.

Distinguishing crystallization stages and their influence on quantum efficiency during perovskite solar cell formation in real-time
2017 Scientific Reports, Band: 7, Nummer: 1, Seite: 14899
KurzfassungRelating crystallization of the absorber layer in a perovskite solar cell (PSC) to the device performance is a key challenge for the process development and in-depth understanding of these types of high efficient solar cells. A novel approach that enables real-time photo-physical and electrical characterization using a graphite-based PSC is introduced in this work. In our graphite-based PSC, the device architecture of porous monolithic contact layers creates the possibility to perform photovoltaic measurements while the perovskite crystallizes within this scaffold. The kinetics of crystallization in a solution based 2-step formation process has been analyzed by real-time measurement of the external photon to electron quantum efficiency as well as the photoluminescence emission spectra of the solar cell. With this method it was in particular possible to identify a previously overlooked crystallization stage during the formation of the perovskite absorber layer. This stage has significant influence on the development of the photocurrent, which is attributed to the formation of electrical pathways between the electron and hole contact, enabling efficient charge carrier extraction. We observe that in contrast to previously suggested models, the perovskite layer formation is indeed not complete with the end of crystal growth.

Experimental evidence of electron capture and emission from trap levels in Cz silicon
2017 physica status solidi (a), Band: 214, Nummer: 7, Seite: 1700292
KurzfassungUp to now the existence of trap levels − defect levels in the forbidden band gap which temporary trap minority charge carriers − in Cz silicon was controversially discussed. We directly monitor the transient dynamics of the free electron density in the conduction band by the means of a time correlated single photon counting of photoluminescence. A variation of the experimental conditions reveals both a decrease of the electron density on a timescale of microseconds, which is not governed by recombination and an apparent generation of electrons on a scale of up to multiple seconds. We discuss that the transient dynamics may be excellently described by trap levels, providing strong evidence for their existence.

Experimental investigation and evaluation of numerical modeling approaches for hybrid-FRP-steel sections under impact loading for the application in automotive crash-structures
2017 Composite structures, Band: 174, Seiten: 338 - 347
KurzfassungA large body of work has studied the energy absorption of metallic and composite tubes undergoing crushing. Similarly, reinforcements of metallic structures with composites have also been studied. By contrast, composite tubes with metallic reinforcements (composite-intensive) have not been investigated, although they may offer benefits in terms of robustness or cost over both composite as well as metallic tubes. Here, composite materials with metallic reinforcements were tested under dynamic axial loading in order to study the effects of major design parameters on the energy absorption and load uniformity behavior. Significant benefits could be identified, particularly when considering cost aspects. Two numerical approaches for modeling the adhesive interface between the two discrete material phases were evaluated in terms of accuracy and efficiency in crash simulations. The simplified modeling technique comprising two layers of shell elements rigidly tied at the interface proved to be generally applicable to the evaluation of structural concepts in an early vehicle development stage.

Fragment tracking in hypervelocity impact experiments
2017 Procedia Engineering, Band: 204, Seiten: 170 - 177
KurzfassungSpace debris impacts of in-orbit satellites cause varying degrees of fragmentation, ranging from minor damage to catastrophic breakup. In this paper, we introduce an experimental measurement approach for studying the fragmentation effects of hypervelocity impact in the laboratory. We demonstrate this method by investigating a hypervelocity impact on a thin aluminum bumper plates and tracking individual fragments in the debris clouds. The setup involves a thin laser plane illuminating the debris cloud fragments, which are recorded with a high-speed video camera. The image sequence is analyzed, yielding spatio-temporal information about each fragment in the debris cloud. This allows individual fragment size and velocity information, previously not available, to be calculated.

Hugoniot data of Seeberger sandstone up to 7 GPa
2017 International Journal of Impact Engineering, Band: 99, Seiten: 122 - 130
KurzfassungPlanar-plate impact tests were carried out for the measurement of Hugoniot data of dry Seeberger sandstone in the pressure range of up to 7 GPa. A special inverse testing method suitable for rock targets was applied together with a laser interferometer for the measurement of the free-surface velocity of the target plate required for the calculation of the particle velocity (up) and the shock wave velocity (US) in the sandstone specimen. In our measurement range (impact velocity between about 50m/s and about 1300 m/s), the US - up data show significant scattering. The travel times of the impact-induced shock waves indicate that pore crushing occurs. A strong dependance of the US - up data on the test batch selected for the impact experiments and, thus, on the mining location was observed. This dependance is greater than the scattering of the individual data sets.

Influence of the transition region between p- and n-type polycrystalline silicon passivating contacts on the performance of interdigitated back contact silicon solar cells
2017 Journal of Applied Physics, Band: 122, Nummer: 18, Seite: 184502
KurzfassungPassivating contacts based on thin tunneling oxides (SiOx) and n- and p-type semi-crystalline or polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) enable high passivation quality and low contact resistivity, but the integration of these pþ/n emitter and nþ/n back surface field junctions into interdigitated back contact silicon solar cells poses a challenge due to high recombination at the transition region from p-type to n-type poly-Si. Here, the transition region was created in different configurations—(a) pþ and nþ poly-Si regions are in direct contact with each other (“pn-junction”), using a local overcompensation (counterdoping) as a self-aligning process, (b) undoped (intrinsic) poly-Si remains between the pþ and nþ poly-Si regions (“pin-junction”), and (c) etched trenches separate the pþ and nþ poly-Si regions (“trench”)—in order to investigate the recombination characteristics and the reverse breakdown behavior of these solar cells. Illumination- and injection-dependent quasisteady state photoluminescence (suns-PL) and open-circuit voltage (suns-Voc) measurements revealed that non-ideal recombination in the space charge regions with high local ideality factors as well as recombination in shunted regions strongly limited the performance of solar cells without a trench. In contrast, solar cells with a trench allowed for open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 720 mV, fill factor of 79.6%, short-circuit current (Jsc) of 41.3 mA/cm2, and a conversion efficiencies (g)of 23.7%, showing that a lowly conducting and highly passivating intermediate layer between the pþ and nþ poly-Si regions is mandatory. Independent of the configuration, no hysteresis was observed upon multiple stresses in reverse direction, indicating a controlled and homogeneously distributed breakdown, but with different breakdown characteristics.

Internal resistance of rear totally diffused solar cells with line shaped contacts
2017 Journal of Applied Physics, Band: 122, Nummer: 18, Seite: 183102
KurzfassungWe present an analytical model for the internal resistance of passivated emitter and rear totally diffused (PERT) solar cells. First, we apply the model of Saint-Cast for the spreading resistance of a passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) structure with line-shaped contacts. To account for the additional vertical current flow through the silicon wafer and the lateral current flow through the back surface field of a PERT structure, we add a parallel current path using common analytical expressions. We compare the analytical models with two-dimensional numerical simulations based on Quokka 3 and find deviations of less than 6% for the internal resistance. In addition, we compare the analytical model of the internal resistance of PERC and PERT solar cells with experimental data of the series resistance of PERC and PERT solar cells

Kinetics of carrier-induced degradation at elevated temperature in multicrystalline silicon solar cells
2017 Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Band: 173, Seite: 80–84
KurzfassungThe degradation kinetics of multicrystalline silicon solar cells and wafers at elevated temperature (often termed “LeTID”) depend on the specific temperature and injection conditions. We apply different forward biases in the dark at a constant temperature of ~75 °C to industrial passivated emitter rear contacted (PERC) solar cells fabricated on p-type multicrystalline wafers from a variety of material producers and determine the degradation rate constant in dependence of the excess carrier density at the p-n junction. We find that whereas the specific material properties influence the degradation extent, the degradation rate constant is comparable for all materials but depends on the excess carrier concentration. This implies involvement of one electron in the ratelimiting step of LeTID defect formation. The result not only is an important contribution to elucidate the physical mechanism underlying LeTID, but can also be used as a guideline for devising degradation tests of multicrystalline silicon wafers and solar cells.

Light-induced activation and deactivation of bulk defects in boron-doped float-zone silicon
2017 Journal of Applied Physics, Band: 121, Nummer: 18, Seite: 185702
KurzfassungIn this paper, we present new insight in the degradation and subsequent recovery of charge carrier lifetime upon light soaking at 75 °C observed in float-zone silicon wafers. Variations of doping type, dielectric passivation schemes and thermal treatments after layer deposition were performed. The degradation was only observed for p-type float-zone silicon wafers passivated with passivation schemes involving silicon nitride layers. An influence of thermal treatments after deposition was found. N-type wafers did not degrade independent of their passivation scheme. Room temperature re-passivation experiments showed the degradation to affect the wafer bulk, and photoluminescence studies demonstrated fine lateral striations of effective lifetime. We conclude that the degradation is caused by bulk defects that might be related to hydrogen complexes.

Long-Term Stability of Aluminum Oxide Based Surface Passivation Schemes Under Illumination at Elevated Temperatures
2017 IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, Band: 7, Nummer: 5, Seite: 1197–1202
KurzfassungThe stability of passivation layers under the conditions of field application of solar modules is a crucial parameter. We have performed an experiment to test the stability of aluminum oxide based passivation schemes under halogen lamp illumination of 1 sun equivalent intensity at 75 °C. We compare aluminum oxide layers with atomic layer deposition and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition with and without an amorphous silicon nitride capping layer. Different thermal treatments are performed to activate the passivation or simulate solar cell contact firing. All passivation schemes are tested on full four inch 1 Ω·cm p- and n-type float-zone silicon wafers. The quality and stability of the surface passivation are tested by means of repeated charge carrier lifetime measurements. No significant surface passivation degradation due to light-soaking is evident on capped samples for several hundred hours. N-type samples are demonstrated to maintain excellent passivation quality for at least 3700 h and only slight degradation of p-type samples is found.

Nondestructive probing of perovskite silicon tandem solar cells using multiwavelength photoluminescence mapping
2017 IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, Band: 7, Nummer: 4, Seite: 1081–1086
KurzfassungIn this paper, spatially resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy with various excitation wavelengths is presented as a nondestructive and versatile technique providing access to the individual subcells of multijunction solar cells. This method is demonstrated on a state-of-the-art monolithic tandem solar cell composed of a planar perovskite solar cell and a silicon heterojunction solar cell. It is shown that the lateral distribution of inhomogeneities can be attributed unambiguously to the individual cells and be related to the manufacturing process. The approach of depth-selective probing of the silicon bottom cell is verified by comparison to reflection maps and by comparison to measurements of the silicon cell after removing the perovskite top cell. Analyzing subcells integrated into a monolithic tandem solar cell is challenging though crucial in order to identify performance limiting loss mechanisms. This method can be used to improve the study of the mutual influence of adjacent subcells in the fully fabricated device, which has been an unfeasible task up to now.

Optimized multicrystalline silicon for solar cells enabling conversion efficiencies of 22%
2017 Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Band: 171, Seite: 180–186
KurzfassungMulticrystalline (mc) n-type silicon has proven to be a suitable substrate for the fabrication of highly efficient mc-Si solar cells. In this paper, we elaborate the impact of base material parameters on the efficiency potential of n-type mc-Si solar cells featuring a boron-diffused front side emitter and a full-area passivating rear contact (TOPCon). The electrical material quality can be significantly improved by replacing the standard crystallization process with a seed-assisted growth for crystallization of high-performance (HP) mc silicon. Using high-purity quartz crucibles or larger crucibles in combination with an optimization of the grain boundary area fraction with an adapted seed structure leads to further improvements of the material quality in terms of charge carrier lifetimes. However, not only the charge carrier lifetime, but also the base resistivity is of crucial importance for the efficiency potential depending on the cell concept. Based on experimental data and simulations, we assess the optimal range for the base resistivity and the wafer thickness for n-type mc-Si TOPCon solar cells. With the optimal material parameters, an “efficiency limiting bulk recombination analysis” (ELBA) reveals an efficiency potential in the range of 22.5% for n-type mc-Si TOPCon solar cells. Finally, we fabricated TOPCon solar cells based on optimized n-type HP mc-Si substrate and demonstrate a certified efficiency of 21.9%, which is the highest efficiency reported for multicrystalline silicon solar cells so far.

Scaling of transmission capacities in coarse-grained renewable electricity networks
2017 Epl-europhys Lett, Band: 119, Seite: 38004
KurzfassungNetwork models of large-scale electricity systems feature only a limited spatial resolution, either due to lack of data or in order to reduce the complexity of the problem with respect to numerical calculations. In such cases, both the network topology, the load and the generation patterns below a given spatial scale are aggregated into representative nodes. This coarse-graining affects power flows and thus the resulting transmission needs of the system. We derive analytical scaling laws for measures of network transmission capacity and cost in coarse-grained renewable electricity networks. For the cost measure only a very weak scaling with the spatial resolution of the system is found. The analytical results are shown to describe the scaling of the transmission infrastructure measures for a simplified, but data-driven and spatially detailed model of the European electricity system with a high share of fluctuating renewable generation.

Spectrally resolved nonlinearity and temperature dependence of perovskite solar cells
2017 Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Band: 172, Seite: 66–73
KurzfassungAn accurate electrical device characterization of hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is an important prerequisite for further improvement and industrial transfer of this promising photovoltaic technology. In this work, we study the nonlinearity of current versus irradiance as well as the temperature dependence of PSCs in a spectrally resolved manner by highly accurate differential external quantum efficiency (EQE) measurements. We investigate three different types of PSCs fabricated by different research groups. The nonlinearity of all samples is found to be spectrally invariant, which significantly simplifies spectral mismatch corrections. We demonstrate that misinterpretation of EQE measurements can result in a more than 10% relative error in efficiency measurements, if solar simulators are adjusted to photocurrents determined from differential EQEs. For obtaining an accurate integrated photocurrent from EQEs, we introduce a new, convenient approach that accounts for cell nonlinearities but avoids the time-consuming full analysis of spectrally resolved nonlinearity. Moreover, for the samples investigated here, it is shown that the differential EQE measured at 0.35 suns bias irradiance represents a reasonably good estimate of the actual EQE at 1 sun. Furthermore, we determine spectrally resolved temperature coefficients (TCs) and show how the band gap blue shift varies with perovskite absorber and temperature.

Suitability assessments for advanced composite-metal hybrid material systems in automotive crash structural applications
2017 International journal of automotive composites : IJAutoC, Band: 3, Seiten: 14 - 28
KurzfassungThe application of hybrid material systems composed of advanced composites and metals in automotive crash structural applications holds significant potential in terms of lightweighting and functional improvements. This paper proposes a comprehensive methodology to assess the suitability of vehicle body components for the application of hybrid material systems by analysing superimposed numerical crash simulation data of conventional steel bodies-in-white. The loading anisotropy and the global deformation are presented as two suitability criteria including an evaluation methodology to eventually select suitable hybrid material systems in the transition from conventional to enhanced material employment and vehicle structure design. Additionally, the methodology provides novel insights into the global structural loading by simultaneously considering multiple crash load cases.

Temperature-dependent modeling of silicon solar cells—Eg, ni, recombination, and VOC
2017 IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, Band: 7, Nummer: 2, Seite: 450–457
KurzfassungThe characterization and modeling of silicon solar cells under nonstandard conditions is an essential task in order to predict and optimize the annual yield when installed in the field. In this paper, focus is set on the temperature dependence of fundamental physical models for numerical device simulation of silicon solar cells. A wide range of industrially relevant solar cell concepts is simulated and compared to experimental data. The influence of fundamental physical models on the temperature dependence of the simulated devices is investigated. It is found that our simulations are in good agreement with experimental results for silicon solar cells that are limited by extrinsic defect or surface recombination. This is not the case for solar cells featuring carrier-selective contacts where intrinsic recombination processes, such as Auger recombination and radiative recombination, have a significant influence.

The concept of skins for silicon solar cell modeling
2017 Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Band: 173, Seite: 128–133
KurzfassungWithin (crystalline silicon) solar cell modeling, a skin means the thin region from the quasi-neutral bulk to the actual surface or metal contact, including e.g. doping profiles, induced band-bending or top-cells of a tandem configuration. A typical highly doped skin is commonly characterized by its main lumped properties: effective recombination via J0 and lateral conductance via Rsheet. When applied as a boundary condition to bulk carrier transport modeling, it is known as the conductive boundary model. However, the detailed resolution of physics inside the skin is then lacking but required in many cases, and possible complexities, like injection dependence of the lumped parameters, are commonly neglected. This work introduces a general parameterization of skins, which accounts fully for injection dependence and a vertical resistance, and is thus able to accurately describe arbitrarily complex skins by lumped parameters. A “skin solver” is implemented in the solar cell simulation software Quokka3 to solve a detailed skin in 1D and to perform the general parameterization. Additionally, the performance of the multidimensional quasi-neutral bulk (qn-bulk) solver is largely improved compared to Quokka2, enabling, for the first time, the 3D discretization and solution of up to an entire 156 mm × 156 mm solar cell in manageable computing times. Quokka3 can then consistently couple the skin solver with the qn-bulk solver. With this multiscale modeling approach, the user can define and solve a solar cell device including the details of the skins orders of magnitude faster compared to generic device simulation software, without loss of accuracy for the majority of conditions in wafer-based silicon solar cells. The new capabilities are demonstrated by showing how the front phosphorus diffusion of a PERC solar cell can be optimized with unprecedented completeness and accuracy. Besides accurately modeling 3D current transport in the bulk, the single solution domain intrinsically accounts for the busbar influence (both recombination and shading), the distributed resistance of the fingers, and the limited current collection independent of the surface area enlargement by texturing.

Tunnel oxide passivating electron contacts as full-area rear emitter of high-efficiency p-type silicon solar cells
2017 Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Band: 107, Nummer: 23, Seite: 233506
KurzfassungTunnel oxide passivating contacts (TOPCon) consisting of an ultrathin tunnel oxide capped by a doped Si film exhibit excellent passivation and contact properties. The application of these contacts has so far resulted in efficiencies of up to 25.7% realized with an n‐type Si solar cell featuring a front‐side boron‐doped p+ emitter and n‐TOPCon as full‐area rear electron contact. In this work, we study the same cell structure on p‐type Si. In this case, the p+ diffusion on the front acts as a front surface field (FSF) and the n‐TOPCon layer as a full‐area rear emitter. One benefit of this rear‐junction cell design is that the whole base contributes to the hole transport towards the local contacts on the front, which means that the lateral current transport within the FSF is less important than in the case of the front emitter of the n‐type cell. To study this, we addressed the influence of the FSF lateral conductivity on the performance of these rear‐junction cells theoretically (based on a simulation study) as well as experimentally (with fabricated cells). Efficiencies up to 24.3% (independently confirmed) have been achieved with this structure applying a FSF and up to 23.9% without the full‐area FSF. As such, these results demonstrate a high device performance for theseTOPCon rear emitter cells even without a lateral conductivity in the FSF. This bears the potential to simplify the process chain quite substantially as no full‐area boron diffusion is required.

Understanding the light-induced degradation at elevated temperatures: Similarities between multicrystalline and floatzone p-type silicon.
2017 Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Band: 99, Seite: 13701
KurzfassungThis paper discusses degradation phenomena in crystalline silicon. We present new investigations of the light‐ and elevated temperature‐induced degradation of multicrystalline silicon. The investigations provide insights into the defect parameters as well as the diffusivity and solubility of impurity species contributing to the defect. We discuss possible defect precursor species and can rule out several metallic impurities. We find that an involvement of hydrogen in the defect could explain the characteristic observations for light‐ and elevated temperature‐induced degradation. Furthermore, we demonstrate analogies to the light‐induced degradation mechanisms at elevated temperatures observed in floatzone silicon, where several experimental results also indicate an involvement of hydrogen in the defect. Based on the similarities between multicrystalline and floatzone silicon, we suggest that both degradation phenomena might be caused by the same or similar defects. As we do not expect large concentrations of metals in floatzone silicon, we suggest that complexes of hydrogen and a species introduced during crystal growth might cause both degradation phenomena.

n-Type Si solar cells with passivating electron contact: Identifying sources for efficiency limitations by wafer thickness and resistivity variation.
2017 Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Band: 173, Seite: 96–105
KurzfassungIn this work, the efficiency of n-type silicon solar cells with a front side boron-doped emitter and a full-area tunnel oxide passivating electron contact was studied experimentally as a function of wafer thickness W and resistivity ρb. Conversion efficiencies in the range of 25.0% have been obtained for all variations studied in this work, which cover 150 µm to 400 µm thick wafers and resistivities from 1 Ω cm to 10 Ω cm. We present a detailed cell analysis based on three-dimensional full-area device simulations using the solar cell simulation tool Quokka. We show that the experimental variation of the wafer thickness and resistivity at device level in combination with a detailed simulation study allows the identification of recombination induced loss mechanisms. This is possible because different recombination mechanisms can have a very specific influence on the I-V parameters as a function of W and ρb. In fact, we identified Shockley-Read-Hall recombination in the c-Si bulk as the source of a significant FF reduction in case of high resistivity Si. This shows that cells made of high resistivity Si are very sensitive to even a weak lifetime limitation in the c-Si bulk. Applying low resistivity 1 Ω cm n-type Si in combination with optimized fabrication processes, we achieved confirmed efficiency values of 25.7%, with a VOC of 725 mV, a FF of 83.3% and a JSC of 42.5 mA/cm2. This represents the highest efficiency reported for both-sides contacted c-Si solar cells. Thus, the results presented in this work demonstrate not only the potential of the cell structure, but also that a variation of the wafer thickness and resistivity at device level can provide deep insights into the cell performance.

A model for the strain rate dependent plasticity of a metastable austenitic stainless steel
2016 Materials and design, Band: 106, Seiten: 258 - 272
KurzfassungA continuum material model is developed for the dynamic plastic deformation behavior of metastable austenitic stainless steel EN 1.4318-2B. An incremental approach in both experimental testing and in the model is used to distinguish between the direct effects of strain rate and the macroscopic adiabatic heating effects. In the model a set of evolution equations is integrated over the deformation path, which makes the model flexible in terms of changes in the strain rate and material temperature. The strain-induced phase transformation from austenite to a'-martensite is accounted for with evolution equations based on the Olson-Cohen transformation model. In order to describe the phase transformation accurately during dynamic loading, the original model is modified by adding instantaneous strain rate sensitivity to the a'-transformation rate. Comparison with experimental results shows that the model can be used to describe the strain rate and temperature dependent behavior of a metastable austenitic alloy with a reasonable number of material parameters. Finally, the model gives realistic results in a set of validation experiments.

A novel approach for the assessment of robustness of vehicle structures under crash
2016 International journal of crashworthiness, Band: 21, Nummer: 2, Seiten: 89 - 103
KurzfassungThe use of numerical optimisation in vehicle development aiming at designing increasingly lighter vehicle structures may lead to a highly sensitive behaviour in terms of crashworthiness. Methods for the analysis of robustness have been introduced to account for the impact of varying input parameters, possibly detecting undesired deformation modes due to bifurcations. The objective of this paper is to introduce an index for the quantitative assessment of robustness of vehicle structures under crash. The novel approach is applied to axially impacted extrusion profiles as well as to an assembly of extrusion profiles under varying input parameters. It was found that the new Robustness Index accurately reflects the findings from state-of-the-art methods of robustness analysis, enabling an objective and transparent overall assessment of robustness prior to a potential in-depth analysis.

Bond-based peridynamics
2016 International Journal of Fracture, Band: 201, Nummer: 2, Seiten: 157 - 170
KurzfassungThis paper shows a new approach to estimate the critical traction for Mode I crack opening before crack growth by numerical simulation. For quasi-static loading, Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics predicts the critical traction before crack growth. To simulate the crack growth, we used bond-based peridynamics, a non-local generalization of continuum mechanics. We discretize the peridynamics equation of motion with a collocation by space approach, the so-called EMU nodal discretization. As the constitutive law, we employ the improved prototype micro brittle material model. This bond-based material model is verified by the Young’s modulus from classical theory for a homogeneous deformation for different quadrature rules. For the EMU-ND we studied the behavior for different ratios of the horizon and nodal spacing to gain a robust value for a large variety of materials. To access this wide range of materials, we applied sparse grids, a technique to build high-dimensional surrogate models. Sparse grids significantly reduce the number of simulation runs compared to a full grid approach and keep up a similar approximation accuracy. For the validation of the quasi-static loading process, we show that the critical traction is independent of the material density for most material parameters. The bond-based IPMB model with EMU nodal discretization seems very robust for the ratio $$\delta /\varDelta X=3$$ δ / Δ X = 3 for a wide range of materials, if an error of 5Â % is acceptable.

Degradation of crystalline silicon due to boron–oxygen defects
2016 IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, Band: 7, Nummer: 1, Seite: 383–398
KurzfassungThis paper gives an overview on the current understanding of a technologically relevant defect group in crystalline silicon related to the presence of boron and oxygen. It is commonly addressed as boron–oxygen defects and has been found to affect silicon devices, whose performance depends on minority charge carrier diffusion lengths—such as solar cells. The defects are a common limitation in Czochralski-grown p-type silicon, and their recombination activity develops under charge carrier injection and is, thus, commonly referred to as light-induced degradation. A multitude of studies investigating the effect have been published and introduced various trends and interpretations. This review intends to summarize established trends and provide a consistent nomenclature for the defect transitions in order to simplify discussion.

Experimental investigation of hybrid material systems consisting of advanced composites and sheet metal
2016 Composite structures, Band: 152, Seiten: 840 - 849
KurzfassungPrevious studies have identified composite-metal hybrid material systems in automotive crash structural applications as a possible solution to meet the demands of both ambitious efficiency goals and increasingly strict vehicle safety requirements. The purpose of this study is to experimentally identify basic principles, which define the material systemsâ properties such as the stiffness and strength as well as major parameter effects on a coupon scale. A further aim is to compare these findings to common approaches such as the rule-of-mixture theory and define analytical models able to predict these properties based on a set of parameter values. While there is a strong dominance of the steel phase, the experiments generally confirm the rule-of-mixture theory. Some effects might have to be considered when designing hybrid material systems for technical applications, such as the shift of the special neutral plane in asymmetric layups or a changed failure mode for different loading directions. The analytical models presented do match the experimental results, although the complex interaction between the material phases is not fully analyzed.

Hourglass control for Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics removes tensile and rank-deficiency instabilities
2016 EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL-SPECIAL TOPICS, Band: 225, Nummer: 2, Seiten: 385 - 395
KurzfassungWe present a stabilization scheme for elastoplastic Smooth-Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) which overcomes two major challenges: (i) the tensile instability inherent to the updated Lagrangian approach is suppressed and (ii) the rank-deficiency instability inherent to the nodal integration approach is cured. To achieve these goals, lessons learned from the Finite-Element Method are transferred to SPH. In particular, an analogue of hourglass control is derived for SPH, which locally linearizes the deformation field to obtain stable and accurate solutions, without the need to resort to stabilization via excessive artificial viscosity. The resulting SPH scheme combines the ability of updated Lagrangian SPH to model truly large deformations with the accuracy and stability needed to faithfully perform simulations. This claim is supported by the analysis of problematic cases and the simulation of an impact scenario.

Impact of the firing temperature profile on light induced degradation of multicrystalline silicon
2016 physica status solidi (RRL) - Rapid Research Letters, Band: 10, Nummer: 12, Seite: 861–865
KurzfassungLight- and elevated temperature-induced degradation in multicrystalline silicon can reduce the efficiency of solar cells significantly. In this work, the influence of the firing process and its temperature profile on the degradation behaviour of neighbouring mc-Si wafers is analysed. Five profiles with measured high peak temperatures ≥800 °C and varying heating and cooling ramps are examined. With spatially resolved and lifetime calibrated photoluminescence images, normalized defect concentrations N*t are calculated to determine the degradation intensity. Wafers that underwent a fast firing process typical for industrial solar cell production show a significantly stronger degradation than samples that were subjected to the same peak temperature but with slower heating and cooling rates. A spatially resolved analysis of the carrier lifetime in the whole wafer shows that the degradation begins in low lifetime areas around dislocation clusters, spreading into good grains after several hours. By the use of optimized ramp-up and/or ramp-down rates during the firing even at very high peak temperatures, light and elevated temperature induced degradation can be suppressed.

Improved explosion consequence analysis with combined CFD and damage models
2016 , Seiten: 109 - 114
KurzfassungThe most-widely used approach to explosion consequence analysis is the classical engineering method based on the combination of TNT equivalence, scaled distances and overpressure-based damage levels. This approach rests on established and easily comprehensible elements and permits a fast assessment of explosion consequences. There are however several limitations inherent in this approach. In contrast, a simulation-based approach using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural dynamics (CSD) methods permits an analysis with a high level of detail regarding both the prediction of the explosive loads and the caused damage. This comes at the cost of complex simulation models which require expert knowledge, intense validation and a high computational effort. To bridge the gap between the classical simplified approach and the CFD/CSD based methods, we have developed a specialized CFD tool, the APOLLO Blastsimulator, with a built-in library of experimentally validated damage models and blast-injury models suitable for an improved explosion consequence analysis. The high resolution CFD tool uses globally and locally adaptive Cartesian grids and includes models for TNT detonations as well as gas detonations. The built-in damage models are based on experimentally validated single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) representations of structural components. This paper gives a brief review on the classical approaches and their limitations and an overview on the concepts used in the APOLLO Blastsimulator and the SDOF damage models. For an exemplary explosion scenario the results obtained with different explosive source and damage models are compared.

Smooth particle hydrodynamics simulation of damage induced by a spherical indenter scratching a viscoplastic material
2016 THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, ENGLAND INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOLIDS AND STRUCTURES, PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, Band: 81, Seiten: 188 - 202
KurzfassungWe present an implementation of a (mesh-free) smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) algorithm, intended for the application to solid bodies, and use it to simulate scratch-induced surface damage on an elasto-viscoplastic material. If conventional SPH is used to simulate solids, an unphysically high artificial viscosity is required to damp strong oscillatory modes and thus stabilize the system. To overcome these intrinsic difficulties associated with modeling solid bodies, the recently implemented so-called total-Lagrangian SPH utilizes an hourglass control scheme similar to what is known from finite element algorithms. Elasto-viscoplastic material properties are modeled by using the Mie-Gruneisen equation of state and the Johnson-Cook model. The material parameters are selected to reproduce the strain-stress behavior of annealed oxygen-free high conductivity copper. The spherical indenter is modeled as a rigid sphere. The topographies of the calculated scratch-induced surface damage are in excellent agreement with experimental scratch tests carried out at comparable normal loads. We also calculate the real contact area between the indenter and the surface, allowing a sound estimation of the scratch hardness. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Susceptibility, vulnerability, and averaged risk analysis for resilience enhancement of urban areas
2016 International journal of protective structures, Band: 7, Nummer: 1, Seiten: 45 - 76
KurzfassungThe dynamic growth and evolution of urban areas generate new challenges for safety and security driving societal, economic, and ecological developments at local and worldwide levels. Cities comprise a high degree of critical infrastructure with an increasing complexity and interdependency. In addition, modified and new threats ranging from natural to man-made and malicious hazards ask for more robust and sustainable cities. This work combines and extends existing empirical, engineering, and simulative methods to define and determine quantities for resilience assessment of urban areas in a comprehensive approach. Based on a multitude of possible events in a city quarter with a larger number of infrastructures, susceptibilities, vulnerabilities, and averaged risks are analyzed in a systematic and quantitative way. The use of an established empirical-historical database gives first insights to identify susceptible elements or endangered areas in the considered urban environments. It is coupled to an approach for consequences where state-of-the-art physical-engineering hazard and damage propagation and quantification models are integrated for vulnerability assessment. The consideration of multiple threats and multiple possible locations cumulates in an object- and location-dependent quantification of averaged risks to visualize the most critical regions and infrastructure aspects in densely populated areas. In this article, the approach is exemplarily applied to terroristic threats. The integration of the three-dimensional visualized approach into existing risk assessment and management processes will help to create cities that are more resilient.

To replace or not to replace?
2016 ENGINEERING FAILURE ANALYSIS, Band: 60, Seiten: 9 - 19
KurzfassungThis paper presents a study on the residual strength of carabiners which have sustained impact damage due to accidental dropping during lead climbing. The question answered here is whether damaged quickdraws can be reused for future climbing or whether they should be replaced. Well defined damages were introduced into the main body and the gate of three different types of quickdraw carabiners. The carabiners were visually inspected and tested for functionality before the residual strength was measured following procedures defined in mountaineering standards. Contrary to common perception no micro-cracks were found within the damaged carabiners. In general, the carabiners tested here showed good resistance to impact damage. Impact on the main body does not seem to affect the residual strength. Impact on the wire gate may result in failure of the gate. However, if the gate is still functional, the strength is not affected by an impact. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Specifically, we consider DyneemaÂŽ HB26 â pressed from uni-directional (UD) tapes in a 0/90Â° stacking sequence. A material model based on a constitutive law with orthotropic, non-linear strength, shock response, composite failure and softening criteria is presented. A set of material parameters is derived for applications in hydrocodes (here: ANSYS AUTODYN). High- and hypervelocity impact tests with different impact velocities are used for preliminary validation and discussion of the predictive capabilities in view of future application.

An hourglass control algorithm for Lagrangian Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics
2015 PO BOX 564, 1001 LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND COMPUTER METHODS IN APPLIED MECHANICS AND ENGINEERING, ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, Band: 286, Seiten: 87 - 106
KurzfassungThis paper presents a stabilization scheme which addresses the rank-deficiency problem in meshless collocation methods for solid mechanics. Specifically, Smooth-Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) in the Total Lagrangian formalism is considered. This method is rank-deficient in the sense that the SPH approximation of the deformation gradient is not unique with respect to the positions of the integration points. The non-uniqueness can result in the formation of zero-energy modes. If undetected, these modes can grow and completely dominate the solution. Here, an algorithm is introduced, which effectively suppresses these modes in a fashion similar to hour-glass control mechanisms in Finite-Element methods. Simulations utilizing this control algorithm exhibit much improved stability, accuracy, and error convergence properties. In contrast to an alternative method which eliminates zero-energy modes, namely the use of additional integration points, the here presented algorithm is easy to implement and computationally very efficient.

Analysis of composite T-joint designs for enhanced resistance to hydrodynamic ram
2015 THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND COMPOSITE STRUCTURES, ELSEVIER SCI LTD, Band: 125, Seiten: 188 - 194
KurzfassungThis study is concerned with the feasibility of different T-joint designs for application in aircraft composite fuel tanks which may be subjected to hydrodynamic ram loading. In a first step, the response of a hybrid metallic/composite T-joint is compared against a state-of-the-art composite T-joint. In a second step, two different resin systems are compared using a third T-joint design one state-of-the-art aerospace resin and one novel, toughened system. Experimental work is done under both, quasi-static and under high-rate loading conditions. The hybrid metallic/composite T-joint showed superior post-failure behavior compared to the state-of-the-art composite T-joint. The use of the toughened resin system results in a significant increase of joint strength. The post-failure behavior is however not affected by the resin system. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Analysis of the shock response of UHMWPE composites using the inverse planar plate impact test and the shock reverberation technique
2015 International Journal of Impact Engineering, Band: 86, Seiten: 240 - 248
KurzfassungUltra-high molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites are commonly used in ballistic protection systems. In order to understand the behavior under shock conditions, dynamic material properties were recently measured by inverse planar plate impact tests providing USâuP-data for particle velocities from 170âm/s up to 900âm/s. In this paper the previously known data range is extended at both ends. On the one hand, inverse flyer plate tests were performed at impact velocities less than 200âm/s in order to assess potential effects of porosity. On the other hand, the mechanical response under extremely high pressures was determined using the shock reverberation technique. //For low shock pressures no effect of porosity was identified. For high shock pressures, the available data range was extended by a factor of 3. For the whole range of velocities and pressures, the slope of the USâuP relationship indicates a slight concave curvature.

High-efficiency multicrystalline silicon solar cells: Potential of n-type doping.
2015 IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, Band: 5, Nummer: 6, Seite: 1571–1579
KurzfassungIn this study, we demonstrate the potential of multicrystalline (mc) n-type silicon for the fabrication of highly efficient mc-Si solar cells. High-quality mc n-type silicon wafers are obtained from a research ingot crystallized in a high-purity crucible, using high-purity granular silicon as seed layer in the crucible bottom and high-purity polysilicon feedstock for the block. An mc p-type silicon block crystallized under identical conditions (same seed and feedstock, crucible system, and temperature profiles) serves as reference and enables measurements of the interstitial iron and chromium concentrations by metastable defect imaging. In combination with 2-D simulations for in-diffusion and precipitation of chromium, the limitation of n-type high-performance mc silicon by these metals is assessed after different solar cell processing steps. Material-related efficiency losses are assessed by an “efficiency limiting bulk recombination analysis,” which combines injection-dependent photoluminescence imaging of minority charge carrier diffusion length with PC1D cell simulations. Finally, based on this material, boron-diffused front-junction mc n-type silicon solar cells with a full-area passivated rear contact (TOPCon) are fabricated. The record cell features an efficiency of 19.6%, which is the highest efficiency reported for an mc n-type silicon solar cell.

Identification of the most relevant metal impurities in mc n-type silicon for solar cells
2015 Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Band: 142, Seite: 107–115
KurzfassungIn general, the charge carrier lifetime in n-type silicon is less sensitive to common dissolved metals compared to p-type silicon. However, in experiments it was observed that metal impurities limit the lifetime in n-type multicrystalline (mc) silicon even if high purity feedstock was used. By evaluating Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) and Inducitvely Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) at blocks grown with high purity feedstock, we identified the main currently unavoidable metal impurities present in n-type mc silicon. In addition, we measured the charge carrier lifetime on surface-passivated wafers after different solar cell processes. The measurements were compared to simulations in order to identify the limitations by different impurities and to evaluate the influence of metal precipitates. We found that Cri is an important defect in good grains of as-grown wafers. Dissolved Co can have a severe impact on lifetime after process steps with fast cooling. The lower lifetime in the edge region of the blocks is attributed to FeSi2 precipitates, which explains the poor gettering response of the edge region in contrast to grains in the block center. From the results obtained for FeSi2-precipitates, we concluded that Cu3Si- and NiSi2-precipitates located at crystal defects may be responsible for significant recombination in the block center.

Improvements to the prototype micro-brittle model of peridynamics
2015 , Seiten: 163 - 183
KurzfassungThis paper assesses the accuracy and convergence of the bond-based Peridynamic model with brittle failure, known as the prototype micro-brittle (PMB) model. We investigate the discrete equations of this model, suitable for numerical implementation. It is shown that the widely used discretization approach incurs rather large errors. Motivated by this observation, a correction is proposed, which significantly increases the accuracy by cancelling errors associated with the discretization. As an additional result, we derive equations to treat the interactions between differently sized particles, i.e., a non-homogeneous discretization spacing. This presents an important step forward for the applicability of the PMB model to complex geometries, where it is desired to model interesting parts with a fine resolution (small particle spacings) and other parts with a coarse resolution in order to gain numerical efficiency. Validation of the corrected Peridynamic model is performed by comparing longitudinal sound wave propagation velocities with exact theoretical results. We find that the corrected approach correctly reproduces the sound wave velocity, while the original approach severely overestimates this quantity. Additionally, we present simulations for a crack growth problem which can be analytically solved within the framework of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics Theory. We find that the corrected Peridynamics model is capable of quantitatively reproducing crack initiation and propagation.

Lagrangian analysis led design of a shock recovery plate impact experiment
2015 International Journal of Impact Engineering, Band: 77, Seiten: 16 - 29
KurzfassungShock recovery techniques, such as the flyer-plate impact test, are used to examine a material that has been subjected to a single well-defined shock, followed by a single release wave. One of the key requirements of this type of technique is that the process should be such that any change found in the sample after recovery, can only be attributed to the shock process alone. Therefore, the principal problem for a test specimen-fixture assembly is that it is designed such that the loading history of the recovered specimen is known. This has motivated this research through the analysis led design of a shock recovery experiment. The choice of Lagrangian Finite Element Analysis for this design work was driven by the method’s ability to accurately track history variables (for plastic deformation) and treat contact interactions which are crucial in this problem. //Starting from an initial configuration, LS-Dyna has been used to analyse in detail the resulting wave propagation to ensure the generation of a uniaxial strain state in the specimen through Lagrangian distance-time diagrams. These iso-maps enabled the identification of potential shortcomings with the initial design, in terms of the transmission of contact and the influence of radial release waves at the different boundaries between specimen and supporting fixture rings. //The benefits of using Lagrangian Finite Element Analysis for this design work are its ability to track history variables (for plastic deformation) and contact treatment. Based on these findings, a new configuration was developed, which consists of an array of concentric rings that support the specimen. During shock formation in the specimen, these rings progressively transfer the loading in the impact direction and radially away from the specimen, acting as momentum traps and preventing unwanted release waves from affecting the strain state experienced by the specimen. //Comparing distance time diagrams between original and proposed configurations, a design sensitivity analysis was performed, where the new geometry resulted in a decrease of both the residual velocity (â38%) and radial displacement (â27%) of the target when compared to the original setup.

Mechanical characterization of hybrid material systems consisting of sheet metal and advanced composites
2015
KurzfassungStrip-shaped hybrid coupon specimens comprised of steel and glass/carbon fiber reinforced plastics are tested under quasistatic tension and 3-point-bending. The effects of major material and design parameters (steel and fiber type, laminate thickness and layup) on the stiffness, strength and the specific energy absorption are assessed. Furthermore, hybrid mechanisms resulting from the mutual interaction of both constituent materials are presented. Although anticipated effects on the hybrid specimensâ stiffness and strength are widely confirmed, the fiber type for example exhibits a distinctly smaller impact than expected. The specimensâ loading and failure behavior is rather dominated by the type of steel and its characteristics. Thus, glass fiber reinforced hybrid variants generally keep up with carbon fiber reinforced hybrid variants in terms of mechanical properties. Considering the difference in price, this is of particular interest for hybrid mid or high volume crash structural applications. As hybrid mechanism, a distinct extension of the maximum strain is observed for both composites (up to 48 %) and steel (up to 23 %) when joined in a hybrid specimen and tested under tensile loads. Furthermore, having composites on the rather pressure loaded side in 3-point-bending results in a 26 %-increase in mass specific energy absorption (compared to reverse loading) due to an enhanced composite failure mode and the stabilizing effect of the steel strip.

New method to analyze numerical crash simulation data to assess the suitability of hybrid composite structures in automotive applications
2015
KurzfassungIn order to enhance development processes for multi material vehicle architecture concepts involving composites or hybrid composite-metal material systems a method is presented that aims to rationalize engineering judgements by means of quantifiable criteria for the suitability of a certain hybrid material system for a particular structural application. A number of significant crash load cases for a structure is considered simultaneously by superimposing the output data of several numerical crash simulations and defining criteria to qualify the suitability of a particular hybrid material system. The work introduced here focusses on the analysis of the global anisotropy of the crash loading situation as an indicator for a rather composite- or metal-intensive hybrid material system. The definition of the anisotropy criterion and the implementation of the method into the development infrastructure of automotive engineering is presented. A first step validation using simple flat coupon specimen simulations shows reasonable results and proves the applicability of the method.

On the similarity of meshless discretizations of Peridynamics and Smooth-Particle Hydrodynamics
2015 Computers and Structures, Band: 150, Seiten: 71 - 78
KurzfassungThis paper discusses the similarity of meshless discretizations of Peridynamics and Smooth-Particle-Hydrodynamics (SPH), if Peridynamics is applied to classical material models based on the deformation gradient. We show that the discretized equations of both methods coincide if nodal integration is used. This equivalence implies that Peridynamics reduces to an old meshless method and all instability problems of collocation-type particle methods apply. These instabilities arise as a consequence of the nodal integration scheme, which causes rank-deficiency and leads to spurious zero-energy modes. As a result of the demonstrated equivalence to SPH, enhanced implementations of Peridynamics should employ more accurate integration schemes.

Potential gain in multicrystalline silicon solar cell efficiency by n-type doping
2015 IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, Band: 5, Nummer: 2, Seite: 499–506
KurzfassungThis study aims for a quantitative investigation of the material limitations and the efficiency potential of an entire multicrystalline (mc) n-type silicon block in comparison with an mc p-type block of the same purity level in order to predict the potential of mc n-type silicon for the industrial production of solar cells. Therefore, two standard mc silicon blocks were crystallized under identical conditions (same high purity feedstock, crucible system, and temperature profiles), only differing in their type of doping. The material quality of wafers along the whole block height is analyzed after different solar cell process steps by photoluminescence imaging of the diffusion length. The bulk recombination related efficiency losses are assessed by an “efficiency limiting bulk recombination analysis (ELBA),” combining injection dependent lifetime images with PC1D cell simulations. The influence of the base resistivity variation along the block is considered in the PC1D cell simulations and backed up by Sentaurus Device simulations. This analysis predicts a significantly higher material-related efficiency potential after typical solar cell processes along the whole block height for mc n-type silicon compared with mc p-type silicon. In addition, the efficiency potential for mc n-type silicon depends less on block position.

Power flow tracing in a simplified highly renewable European electricity network
2015 New J Phys, Band: 17, Seite: 105002
KurzfassungThe increasing transmission capacity needs in a future energy system raise the question of how associated costs should be allocated to the users of a strengthened power grid. In contrast to straightforward oversimplified methods, a flow tracing based approach provides a fair and consistent nodal usage and thus cost assignment of transmission investments. This technique follows the power flow through the network and assigns the link capacity usage to the respective sources or sinks using a diffusion-like process, thus taking into account the underlying network structure and injection pattern. As a showcase, we apply power flow tracing to a simplified model of the European electricity grid with a high share of renewable wind and solar power generation, based on long-term weather and load data with an hourly temporal resolution.

Rate dependent behavior of crash-optimized adhesives - experimental characterization, model development, and simulation

KurzfassungThe mechanical properties of crash-optimized adhesive BETAMATE 1496V are characterized over a wide range of strain rates. The information gathered from the mechanical tests are used for developing a fully rate-dependent constitutive law for cohesive interface elements considering both, the strain rate dependency of the initiation stress and the strain rate dependency of the fracture toughness. The model is calibrated and verified against experimental data for tapered double cantilever beam (TDCB) and tapered end notched flexure (TENF) tests. Finally, the model is validated against quasi-static and dynamic experimental results on an adhesively bonded T-joint. The numerical predictions show good correlation with the experimental results.

Adaptive multi-scale modeling of high velocity impact on composite panels
2014 Composites. Part A, Applied science and manufacturing, Band: 58, Seiten: 56 - 64
KurzfassungA computationally efficient adaptive multi-scale methodology for modeling composites under high rates of loading is proposed. The physically based model relies on micromechanical properties of the constituents only. The adaptive algorithm switches between two different constitutive laws. Initially, the material response is calculated based on effective linear-elastic, orthotropic material properties at the ply scale which are calculated using the rule of mixtures. A modified Hashin-Rotem criterion is then used to identify the switch to a more accurate micromechanical analysis based on the generalized method of cells (GMC). The methodology is verified by simulating tensile tests on laminates with different stacking sequences. Finally the model validated against experimental data for high-velocity impact on quasi-isotropic composite targets taken from the literature in order to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed methodology.

Impact of iron precipitates on carrier lifetime in As-grown and phosphorus-gettered multicrystalline silicon wafers in model and experiment
2014 IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, Band: 4, Nummer: 3, Seite: 791–798
KurzfassungThe impact of iron point defects on the measured injection-dependent minority carrier lifetime in silicon after different processing steps (described by the Shockley-Read-Hall equation) is well known. However, in some parts of multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) (used for solar cells), a large share of the iron atoms is precipitated. In this study, we simulate realistic iron precipitate distributions in mc-Si after crystallization, as well as after phosphorus diffusion gettering within grains by employing the Fokker-Planck equations. Taking the Schottky contact between metallic precipitates and semiconductor into account, in a second step, we analyze the effect of recombination at iron precipitates on carrier lifetime by means of finite-element simulations. The results are compared with experimental injection-dependent lifetime measurements on a p-type mc-Si wafer before and after phosphorus diffusion. Our simulations show that in the low-lifetime edge region close to the crucible wall, a considerable share of the carrier recombination can be attributed to iron precipitates in both the as-grown and in the phosphorus-diffused state. In addition, the simulated injection dependences of iron precipitates and iron interstitials differ significantly, with the precipitates influencing the carrier lifetime especially in the mid- to high-injection range, which is supported by carrier lifetime measurements.

Improved specimen recovery in tensile split Hopkinson bar
2014 Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Band: 372, Nummer: 2023
KurzfassungThis paper presents an improved specimen recovery method for the tensile split Hopkinson bar (TSHB) technique. The method is based on the trapping of residual stress waves with the use of momentum trap bars. As is well known, successful momentum trapping in TSHB is highly sensitive to experimental uncertainties, especially on the incident bar side of the set-up. However, as is demonstrated in this paper, significant improvement in the reliability of specimen recovery is obtained by using two momentum trap bars in contact with the incident bar. This makes the trapping of the reflected wave insensitive to striker speed and removes the need for a precision set gap between the incident bar and the momentum trap.

Solar Cell Efficiency Losses Due to Impurities From the Crucible in Multicrystalline Silicon
2014 IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, Band: 4, Nummer: 1, Seite: 122–129
KurzfassungThe electrical material quality of multicrystalline (mc) silicon for photovoltaic applications suffers from crystal defects as well as from impurities that originate from the feedstock, the quartz crucible, and its coating. In this study, we investigate the influence of impurities from the crucible on efficiency losses in mc silicon solar cells, focusing on the limitation due to iron. The applicability of p-type mc silicon, crystallized in G1 sized crucibles of industrial material quality and very pure electrically fused silica, for a high-efficiency solar cell process is examined by measuring lifetime and interstitial iron concentration in the wafers after different processing steps and by estimating the cell efficiency potential from injection-dependent bulk lifetime measurements. Interstitial iron concentrations extracted from 2-D simulations of iron precipitation at crystal defects and gettering during processing agree well with Fe<sub>i</sub> measurements at different process stages and explain the observations. Efficiency losses are quantified to losses due to segregated impurities diffused into the silicon melt, losses due to decorated crystal defects and losses due to solid-state diffusion into the crystal. By using a high-purity crucible, losses are reduced significantly and an efficiency gain of 0.5% absolute is estimated to be attainable on wafers with edge region.

Towards a unified low-field model for carrier mobilities in crystalline silicon
2014 Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Band: 131, Seite: 92–99
KurzfassungThe electrical properties of crystalline silicon crucially depend on the mobility of minority and majority charge carriers. As parameters like the conductivity and the diffusion length are directly connected to carrier mobility, its exact prediction is essential for device simulation and material characterization. While generally accepted mobility models exist for uncompensated silicon, strong deviations have been observed in compensated silicon depending on the compensation level. Different approaches have been suggested for modeling majority carrier mobility correcting for compensation. In this work, the controversially discussed physical reasons for mobility reductions in compensated silicon are critically reviewed and we present a unified description of mobility in silicon. Based on the approach suggested by Schindler et al. [Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells 106 (2012) 31–36], which describes the modeling of majority carrier mobilities in p-type compensated silicon at room temperature, the model is extended to both majority and minority carrier mobilities in p- and n-type compensated silicon at room temperature and a description for the temperature dependence is suggested. Fit parameters are obtained based on a wide range of published and new carrier mobility data presented here. Additionally, a new parameterization for scattering of holes by phonons is presented and included in the model.

Integrated experimental-numerical characterization of geological materials under shock and impact
2013 , Seiten: 71 - 76
KurzfassungScientific investigation of transient processes and engineering design of structures for dynamic loading conditions are still a great challenge. Other than quasi-static loading conditions a dynamic application of loads by impact or blast leads to additional effects that enhance the complexity of the thermo-mechanical material behavior. They can be reduced to two basic phenomena: first, the strain rate dependent change of mechanical behavior and, secondly, the evolution and propagation of shock waves. In order to understand the structural behavior under transient loading conditions, the involved materials need to be characterized by material tests. Mathematical formulations are needed for the description of both the strain rate dependent deviatoric behavior and the non-linear Equation of State responsible for the shock wave formation. Implemented into numerical codes these constitutive equations allow for a predictive simulation of the structural behavior. Sometimes nume rical simulation itself can be used to derive material properties. This is the case when for example the material is composed of two or more constituents for which the individual thermo-mechanical properties are known. Modeling the composite material as specimens and application of loads that may be outside the load types applicable in experiments leads to additional results not achievable in a pure experimental approach. Therefore, an integrated experimental-numerical approach for the characterization of materials under transient loading conditions is more and more preferred if predictive capabilities are needed for the highly complex phenomena observed in the related structural applications of interest.

Mesoscale Investigation of Shock Wave Effects in Dry and Water-ĹĄaturated Sandstone
2013 Procedia Engineering, Band: 58, Seiten: 289 - 298
KurzfassungIn this paper, the behavior of natural sandstone under hypervelocity impact is investigated numerically. Sandstone essentially consists of cemented quartz grains, it can be generally considered as a polygranular structure with air or water-filled pores. In order to study the influence of pores and water filling on the behavior of sandstone under shock loading, a numerical investigation at the mesoscale is performed. We explicitly resolve pores and the closure of pores in a homogeneous and isotropic quartz matrix. The quartz matrix is described with an equation of state and a strength model; the pore geometry is simplified. Two-dimensional planar shock simulations are conducted in order to analyze effects of quartz strength and water-saturation on pore crushing. Averaging is used to perform a macroscale analysis of the dependencies of pressure and shock velocity on particle velocity. The simulation results shall enhance the basis for the development of accurate macroscale sandstone models that take the water content into account.

Propagation of impact-induced shock waves in porous sandstone using mesoscale modeling
2013 Meteoritics & planetary science, Band: 48, Nummer: 1, Seiten: 115 - 133
KurzfassungGeneration and propagation of shock waves by meteorite impact is significantly affected by material properties such as porosity, water content, and strength. The objective of this work was to quantify processes related to the shock-induced compaction of pore space by numerical modeling, and compare the results with data obtained in the framework of the Multidisciplinary Experimental and Modeling Impact Research Network (MEMIN) impact experiments. We use mesoscale models resolving the collapse of individual pores to validate macroscopic (homogenized) approaches describing the bulk behavior of porous and water-saturated materials in large-scale models of crater formation, and to quantify localized shock amplification as a result of pore space crushing. We carried out a suite of numerical models of planar shock wave propagation through a well-defined area (the âsampleâ) of porous and/or water-saturated material. The porous sample is either represented by a homogeneous unit where porosity is treated as a state variable (macroscale model) and water content by an equation of state for mixed material (ANEOS) or by a defined number of individually resolved pores (mesoscale model). We varied porosity and water content and measured thermodynamic parameters such as shock wave velocity and particle velocity on meso- and macroscales in separate simulations. The mesoscale models provide additional data on the heterogeneous distribution of peak shock pressures as a consequence of the complex superposition of reflecting rarefaction waves and shock waves originating from the crushing of pores. We quantify the bulk effect of porosity, the reduction in shock pressure, in terms of Hugoniot data as a function of porosity, water content, and strength of a quartzite matrix. We find a good agreement between meso-, macroscale models and Hugoniot data from shock experiments. We also propose a combination of a porosity compaction model (?â? model) that was previously only used for porous materials and the ANEOS for water-saturated quartzite (all pore space is filled with water) to describe the behavior of partially water-saturated material during shock compression. Localized amplification of shock pressures results from pore collapse and can reach as much as four times the average shock pressure in the porous sample. This may explain the often observed localized high shock pressure phases next to more or less unshocked grains in impactites and meteorites.

3D modeling of fracture in brittle isotropic materials using a novel algorithm for the determination of the fracture plane orientation and crack surface area
2012 Finite Elements in Analysis and Design, Band: 56, Seiten: 32 - 40
KurzfassungA user defined material model for simulation of brittle fracture in isotropic materials was implemented into the explicit FE code Abaqus/Explicit. The model uses a methodology for calculating the orientation of the fracture plane in isotropic materials in 3D space using an analytical approach. Knowing the orientation of the fracture plane, the cross-sectional area of the fracture surface can in a hexagonal element can be calculated. Regularization is then achieved using the size of the fracture plane. The model is first tested on single-element tests and then applied to more complex test cases such as a short bar with chevron notch or micromechanical analyses of composite materials. The numerical predictions correlate well with experimental evidence from the literature.

Consistent Temperature Coupling with Thermal Fluctuations of Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics and Molecular Dynamics
2012 1160 BATTERY STREET, STE 100, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94111 USA PLOS ONE, PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, Band: 7, Nummer: 12
KurzfassungWe propose a thermodynamically consistent and energy-conserving temperature coupling scheme between the atomistic and the continuum domain. The coupling scheme links the two domains using the DPDE (Dissipative Particle Dynamics at constant Energy) thermostat and is designed to handle strong temperature gradients across the atomistic/continuum domain interface. The fundamentally different definitions of temperature in the continuum and atomistic domain - internal energy and heat capacity versus particle velocity - are accounted for in a straightforward and conceptually intuitive way by the DPDE thermostat. We verify the here-proposed scheme using a fluid, which is simultaneously represented as a continuum using Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics, and as an atomistically resolved liquid using Molecular Dynamics. In the case of equilibrium contact between both domains, we show that the correct microscopic equilibrium properties of the atomistic fluid are obtained. As an example of a strong non-equilibrium situation, we consider the propagation of a steady shock-wave from the continuum domain into the atomistic domain, and show that the coupling scheme conserves both energy and shock-wave dynamics. To demonstrate the applicability of our scheme to real systems, we consider shock loading of a phospholipid bilayer immersed in water in a multi-scale simulation, an interesting topic of biological relevance.

Continuum constitutive modeling of woven fabrics
2012 European physical journal special topics, Band: 206, Nummer: 1, Seiten: 149 - 161
KurzfassungThe constitutive behavior of woven fabrics is significantly influenced by distinctive yarn interactions at the fabric mesoscale. Since, in most cases, an explicit discretization at yarn level is not desirable due to the related computational effort, an improved computational approach is proposed using a simple, but powerful kinematic model linked to the deformation of a representative volume cell (RVC) at the fabric mesoscale. The constitutive model is validated experimentally for three different fabric materials and implemented as user-defined subroutine in the explicit finite-element code LS-DYNA. The model includes an enhanced formulation for rate-dependent, dissipative shear properties.

We verify the here proposed scheme using a fluid, which is simultaneously represented as a continuum using Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics, and as an atomistically resolved liquid using Molecular Dynamics. In the case of equilibrium contact between both domains, we show that the correct microscopic equilibrium properties of the atomistic fluid are obtained. As an example of a strong non-equilibrium situation, we consider the propagation of a steady shock-wave from the continuum domain into the atomistic domain, and show that the coupling scheme conserves both energy and shock-wave dynamics.

KurzfassungUnderstanding the mechanisms of failure in materials on various length- and time scales is a prerequisite for the design of new materials with desired superior properties such as high toughness or strength. On the macroscopic scale, many materials such as concrete or ceramics may be viewed as being homogeneous; however, on the scale of a few microns these materials often exhibit an inhomogeneous polyhedral granular structure which is known to influence its macroscopic mechanical and optical properties, see e.g. Steinhauser [1].

Volume dilatation in a polycarbonate blend at varying strain rates
2012 European physical journal special topics, Band: 206, Nummer: 1, Seiten: 173 - 181
KurzfassungImpact loaded polymers show a variety of strain-rate dependent mechanical properties in their elastic, plastic and failure behaviour. In contrast to purely crystalline materials, the volume of polymeric materials can significantly change under irreversible deformations. In this paper, uni-axial tensile tests were performed in order to measure the dilatation in the Polycarbonate-Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (PC-ABS) Bayblend T65. The accumulation of dilatation was measured at deformation speeds of 0. 1 and 500 [mm/s]. Instrumented with a pair of two high-speed cameras, volume segments in the samples were observed. The change in volume was quantified as relation between the deformed and initial volumes of the segments. It was observed that the measured dilatations are of great significance for the constitutive models. This is specifically demonstrated through comparisons of stress-strain relations derived from the two camera-perspectives with isochoric relations based on s ingle-surface observations of the same experiments.

Phase behaviour and dynamics in primitive models of molecular ionic liquids
2011 1 SVIENTSITSKII STR, LVIV, 79011, UKRAINE CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS, INST CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS NATL ACAD SCIENCES UKRAINE, Band: 14, Nummer: 3
KurzfassungThe phase behaviour and dynamics of molecular ionic liquids are studied using primitive models and extensive computer simulations. The models account for size disparity between cation and anion, charge location on the cation, and cation-shape anisotropy, which are all prominent features of important materials such as room-temperature ionic liquids. The vapour-liquid phase diagrams are determined using high-precision Monte Carlo simulations, setting the scene for in-depth studies of ion dynamics in the liquid state. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to explore the structure, single-particle translational and rotational autocorrelation functions, cation orientational autocorrelations, self diffusion, viscosity, and frequency-dependent conductivity. The results reveal some of the molecular-scale mechanisms for charge transport, involving molecular translation, rotation, and association.

Shock-wave induced damage in lipid bilayers
2011 Soft matter, Band: 7, Nummer: 9, Seiten: 4307 - 4317
KurzfassungThe effects of shock-wave impact on the damage of lipid bilayer membranes are investigated with dissipative particle simulations at constant energy (DPDE). A coarse-grained model for the phospholipid bilayer in aqueous environment is employed, which models single lipids as short chains consisting of a hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic tail beads. Water is modeled by mapping four H2O molecules to one water bead. Using the DPDE method enables us to faithfully simulate the non-equilibrium shock-wave process with a coarse-grained model as the correct heat capacity can be recovered. At equilibrium, we obtain self-stabilizing bilayer structures that exhibit bending stiffness and compression modulus comparable to experimental measurements under physiological conditions. We study in detail the damage behavior of the coarse-grained lipid bilayer upon high-speed shock-wave impact as a function of shock impact velocity and bilayer stability. A single damage parameter based on an orientation dependent correlation function is introduced. We observe that mechanical bilayer stability has only small influence on the resulting damage after shock-wave impact, and inertial effects play almost no role. At shock-front velocities below less than or similar to 3000 ms(-1), we observe reversible damage, whereas for speeds greater than or similar to 3900 ms(-1) no such recovery, or self-repair of the bilayer, could be observed.

Characterization of low-impedance materials at elevated strain rates
2010 The journal of strain analysis for engineering design, Band: 45, Nummer: 6, Seiten: 401 - 409
KurzfassungExperimental characterization of materials at elevated strain rates of the order of 10(3) s(-1) is typically performed by Hopkinson-bar-type facilities. The specific nature of Hopkinson bar tests is that a specimen is loaded by waves. As both the input and output bars are often made from high-impedance metallic materials, the ratio between transmitted and reflected wave components is very poor in the case of low-impedance specimen materials such as rubbers and foams. That poor wave transmission brings with it a limited quality of the signal-to-noise ratio. Changing the bar materials (e.g. to polycarbonate) is of little help because of the related viscous effects. A further deficiency of the wave-driven Hopkinson bar test for many rubber and foam applications is the comparably small amount of compression that is achievable. Maximum compressions of 95 per cent and above, often expected for damping and energy absorption applications, are out of the range of most Hopkinson bar set-ups. In order to overcome these deficiencies, first a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) facility was equipped with polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) thin-film sensors. Second, a direct-impact set-up for low-impedance materials was developed and calibrated at the Ernst Mach Institute (EMI). With the PVDF gauges, the range of application both for the SHPB and for the new set-up was enhanced. This is demonstrated with an SHPB-based investigation of stress homogeneity in polyurethane (PU) specimens. The direct-impact facility made it possible to derive the stress-strain relations for PU-rubber up to strain rates in the range of several 10(3) s(-1). Maximum compressions of more than 95 per cent were achieved. The paper describes the limitations of a classic SHPB set-up applied to low-impedance materials. The problem of stress homogeneity is addressed, and a set-up for a new direct-impact facility is presented. As an example application, a Confor-Blue foam, typically used for automotive crash-test dummies, is characterized at strain rates between 160 and 1115 s(-1).

Transient stress and failure analysis of impact experiments with ceramics
2010 , Seiten: 139 - 147
KurzfassungAt Ernst-Mach-Institut (EMI), ductile and brittle materials are studied both experimentally and numerically with the focus on shock and impact loading and associated damage effects. Experimental investigations using plate impact, edge-on impact, penetration and perforation on light gas accelerators provide input for numerical studies and allow verification of constitutive models. Hydrocodes are the standard numerical tool for the simulation of transient processes and basis of the modelling in the present paper. Besides use of commercial codes with mesh-based Lagrangean and Eulerian spatial discretization, an own meshfree SPH code has been developed at EMI. Edge-on impact experiments, plate impact tests and deep penetration in confined targets are simulated to study different loading histories and failure conditions. Significantly different material models based on continuum damage approaches as well as microstatistical modelling of inhomogeneities have been implemented. Their performances in reproducing damage fracture patterns and continued fragment loading in different ceramic types are analysed and compared to edge-on impact experiments.

A review of computational methods in materials science
2009 International journal of molecular sciences, Band: 10, Nummer: 12, Seiten: 5135 - 5216
KurzfassungThis review discusses several computational methods used on different length and time scales for the simulation of material behavior. First, the importance of physical modeling and its relation to computer simulation on multiscales is discussed. Then, computational methods used on different scales are shortly reviewed, before we focus on the molecular dynamics (MD) method. Here we survey in a tutorial-like fashion some key issues including several MD optimization techniques. Thereafter, computational examples for the capabilities of numerical simulations in materials research are discussed. We focus on recent results of shock wave simulations of a solid which are based on two different modeling approaches and we discuss their respective assets and drawbacks with a view to their application on multiscales. Then, the prospects of computer simulations on the molecular length scale using coarse-grained MD methods are covered by means of examples pertaining to complex topological polymer structures including star-polymers, biomacromolecules such as polyelectrolytes and polymers with intrinsic stiffness. This review ends by highlighting new emerging interdisciplinary applications of computational methods in the field of medical engineering where the application of concepts of polymer physics and of shock waves to biological systems holds a lot of promise for improving medical applications such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or tumor treatment.

Characterizing and modeling the non-linear viscoelastic tensile deformation of a glass fiber reinforced polypropylene
2009 , Seiten: 2460 - 2466
KurzfassungOn the basis of comprehensive experimental investigations on a long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP-LGF) a novel rheological material model is developed. It features a decomposition of the stress into a time independent quasi-static and a time and strain dependent viscous contribution. Furthermore it allows for plastic deformations starting from the very beginning of straining and is thereby able to reproduce the absence of a purely linear elastic domain going along with the nonexistence of a defined yield point, characteristic for many fiber reinforced thermoplastic polymers. In order to approach the true quasi-static material behavior, various tensile tests were carried out. The viscous material behavior was deduced from a series of stress relaxation experiments and is described by Eyring’s equation with strain dependent viscosity parameters.

Vapour-liquid phase transition of dipolar particles
2009 4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OX14 4RN, OXON, ENGLAND MOLECULAR PHYSICS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, Band: 107, Nummer: 4-6, Seiten: 403 - 413
KurzfassungThe question of whether a vapour-liquid phase transition exists in systems of particles with purely dipolar interactions is examined. New Monte Carlo simulation results are presented for the dipolar Yukawa hard sphere (DYHS) fluid with very small values of the attractive Yukawa well depth, almost two orders of magnitude smaller than the characteristic dipolar interaction energy. In this way, it is possible to approach the dipolar hard sphere (DHS) limit. It is found that phase separation is not observable beyond a critical value of the Yukawa energy parameter, even though in thermodynamic and structural terms, the DYHS and DHS systems are very similar. It is suggested that either some very subtle physics distinguishes the DYHS and DHS systems, or the observation of a phase transition in DHSs is precluded by finite-size effects.

Characterizing the transient response of CFRP/Al HC spacecraft structures induced by space debris impact at hypervelocity
2008 , Seiten: 1756 - 1763
KurzfassungTo quantify the disturbance induced by the impact of micrometeoroid and space debris particles at hypervelocity on vibration-sensitive CFRP/Al HC SP satellite platforms a method is presented which uses experimentally validated hydrocode models to characterize the impact-induced transient wave in the local structure. Key features of the transient waveform are simplified by a mathematical function which is expressed in terms of impactor momentum. Evolution of the transient waveform is characterized using multiple measurement gauges located on the sandwich panel facesheets outside the area of mechanical damage. The characterization is then used to extrapolate the elastic waveform back to the impact location. The elastic-equivalent excitation of a CFRP/Al HC SP is defined in terms of force with respect to time for application in finite element: structural codes for propagation of the local disturbance to vibration-sensitive locations (i.e. measurement devices).

Flat histogram Monte Carlo sampling for mechanical variables and conjugate thermodynamic fields with example applications to strongly correlated electronic systems
2008 ONE PHYSICS ELLIPSE, COLLEGE PK, MD 20740-3844 USA PHYSICAL REVIEW E, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, Band: 78, Nummer: 3, 2
KurzfassungWe present a general and unifying framework for deriving Monte Carlo acceptance rules which facilitate flat histogram sampling. The framework yields uniform sampling rules for thermodynamic states given by the mechanically extensive variables appearing in the Hamiltonian. Likewise, Monte Carlo schemes which uniformly sample the thermodynamic fields that are conjugate to the mechanical variables can be derived within this framework. We apply these different, yet equivalent sampling schemes to the extended Hubbard model in the atomic limit with explicit electron spin. Results for the full density-of-states, the charge-order parameter distribution, and phase diagrams for different ratios of the on-site Hubbard repulsion and the intersite interaction are presented. A tricritical point at half-filling of the lattice is located using finite-size scaling techniques.

Hypervelocity impact on CFRP
2008 , Seiten: 1861 - 1869
KurzfassungThis paper describes the derivation and validation of a numerical material model that predicts the highly dynamic behaviour of CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced plastic) under hypervelocity impact. CFRP is widely used in satellites as face sheet material in CFRP-Al/HC sandwich structures (HC = honeycomb) that can be exposed to space debris. A review of CFRP-Al/HC structures typically used in space was performed. Based on this review, a representative structure in terms of materials and geometry was selected for study in the work described here. An experimental procedure for the characterisation of composite materials is documented by Riedel et al. [ADAMMO - advanced material damage models for numerical simulation codes. ESA CR(P) 4397, EMI report 175/03, Freiburg: October 31, 2003.]. The test results from the CFRP of the current study allow for the derivation of an experimentally based orthotropic continuum material model data set that is capable of predicting the mechanical behaviour of CFRP under hypervelocity impact. Such a data set was not previously available. In the work by Riedel et al. [Hypervelocity impact damage prediction in composites: part II - experimental investigations and simulations. International journal of Impact Engineering, 2006:33:670-80.] an orthotropic material data set was used for modelling HVI on AFRP (aramid fibre reinforced plastic), which shows relatively high deformability before failure. The enhancements of the modelling approaches in previous studies [Riedel W, Harwick W, White DM, Clegg RA. ADAMMO - advanced material damage models for numerical simulation codes. ESA CR(P) 4397, EMI report I 75/03, Freiburg: October 31, 2003. Hiermaier S, Riedel W, Hayhurst C, Clegg RA, Wentzel C. AMMHIS - advanced material models for hypervelocity impact simulations. Final report, EMI report E 43/98, ESA CR(P) 4305, Freiburg: July 30,1999.] necessary to model brittle CFRP are specified. An experimental hypervelocity impact campaign was performed at two different two-stage light gas guns which encompassed both normal and oblique impacts for a range of impact velocities and projectile diameters. Validation of the numerical model is provided through comparison with the experimental results. For that purpose measurements of the visible damage of the face sheets and of the HC core are conducted. In addition, the numerically predicted damage within the CFRP is compared to the delamination areas found in ultrasonic scans.

Liquid-vapour coexistence in the dipolar Yukawa hard-sphere fluid
2008 6 RUE DES FRERES LUMIERE, MULHOUSE, 68200, FRANCE EPL, EPL ASSOCIATION, EUROPEAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY, Band: 84, Nummer: 2
KurzfassungThermodynamic perturbation theory for central-force associating potentials and Monte Carlo simulations are used to study the phase behaviour of the dipolar Yukawa hard-sphere fluid over a wide range of the particle dipole moment, mu. Liquid-vapour coexistence is found to exist for values of mu far in excess of a “threshold” value found in earlier simulation studies. The predictions of the present theory are found to be in reasonably good agreement with computer simulation results, all the way up to the highest dipole moment studied. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2008

Robustness of networks against fluctuation-induced cascading failures.
2008 Phys Rev E, Band: 77, Nummer: 5 Pt 2, Seiten: 056103 - 056103
KurzfassungFluctuating fluxes on a complex network lead to load fluctuations at the vertices, which may cause them to become overloaded and to induce a cascading failure. A characterization of the one-point load fluctuations is presented, revealing their dependence on the nature of the flux fluctuations and on the underlying network structure. Based on these findings, an alternate robustness layout of the network is proposed. Taking load correlations between the vertices into account, an analytical prediction of the probability for the network to remain fully efficient is confirmed by simulations. Compared to previously proposed mean-flux layouts, the alternate layout comes with significantly less investment costs in the high-confidence limit.

Structural vibrations induced by HVI - Application to the Gaia spacecraft
2008 , Seiten: 1836 - 1843
KurzfassungGiven the growing stability needed for spacecraft in operation to ensure functioning of future instruments whose sensitivity requires an important technological step, perturbations encounter in orbital conditions that used to be negligible, become today an issue. This is the case of micrometeorite impacts whose energy could induce modal response of the flexible structure and imply a dynamic response of the spacecraft which could probably be disturbing for the instrument functioning. The impact environment that could be encountered by the spacecraft is preliminary studied before the definition of test to recreate the excitation with light-gas gun. Experiments are made on samples of structure representative of the ongoing Gaia astrometric mission project. Response of the structure is recorded to be correlated to finite elements model of the sample. The excitation is then extrapolated to orbital conditions and to Gaia finite elements model. The final perturbation is compared to the specification. The main conclusion is that for daily impact event, dynamic response of the structure will not disturb Gaia functioning. Nevertheless, for a yearly impact event, the astrometric mission will largely be disturbed by the dynamic response of the structure to the impact.

Applications of Wang-Landau sampling to determine phase equilibria in complex fluids

KurzfassungApplications of the Wang-Landau algorithm for simulating phase coexistence at fixed temperature are presented. The number density is sampled using either volume scaling or particle insertion/deletion. The resulting algorithms, while being conceptually easy, are of comparable efficiency to existing multicanonical methods but with the advantage that neither the chemical potential nor the pressure at phase coexistence has to be estimated in advance of the simulation. First, we benchmark the algorithm against literature results for the vapor-liquid transition in the Lennard-Jones fluid. We then demonstrate the general applicability of the algorithm by studying vapor-liquid coexistence in two examples of complex fluids: charged soft spheres, which exhibit a transition similar to that in the restricted primitive model of ionic fluids, being characterized by strong ion pairing in the vapor phase; and Stockmayer fluids with high dipole strengths, in which the constituent particles aggregate to form chains, and for which the very existence of a transition has been widely debated. Finally, we show that the algorithm can be used to locate a weak isotropic-nematic transition in a fluid of Gay-Berne mesogens. (C) 2007 American Institute of Physics.

KurzfassungSimulation of structures made from thermoplastic materials under crash loads including large deformations and failure is still a challenge for most existing numerical tools. To model the complex mechanical behaviour of thermoplastic materials new models have been developed. To reproduce the mechanical behaviour in the simulation, model parameters for each material have to be identified by experimental testing.

The electronic states of oxazole studied by VUV absorption and electron energy-loss (EEL) spectroscopies, and ab initio configuration interaction methods
2007 PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS CHEMICAL PHYSICS, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, Band: 334, Nummer: 1-3, Seiten: 154 - 166
KurzfassungThe oxazole VUV absorption spectrum over the range 5-12 eV shows intense bands centred near 6.3, 7.5, 8.3, 9.6 and 10.8 eV. The electron energy-loss (EEL) spectrum shows additional structure with a strong peak (similar to 1.4 eV) arising from resonant vibrational excitation of the molecule via a shape resonance, and a spin-forbidden (3)pi pi* state at 4.6 eV. Electronic excitation energies for valence and Rydberg-type states have been computed using ab initio multi-reference multi-root CI methods. The CI studies used a triple zeta + polarisation basis set, augmented by diffuse (Rydberg) orbitals, to generate the theoretical singlet and triplet energy manifolds. The correlation of theory and experiment shows the nature of the more intense Rydberg state types, and identification of the main valence and Rydberg bands. Calculated energies for low-lying Rydberg states are relatively close (SD 0.38) to those expected, and there is generally a good correlation between the theoretical and experimental envelopes. Two of the three lowest electronic states arise from pi pi* excitation of the outer (3a” and 2a”) pi-orbitals, with one state (LPN pi*) originating from the lone pair on nitrogen (15a’) between them.

Vapor-liquid coexistence in fluids of charged hard dumbbells

KurzfassungVapor-liquid coexistence in fluids of charged hard dumbbells, each made up of two oppositely charged hard spheres with diameters sigma and separation d, has been studied using grand-canonical Monte Carlo simulations. In the limit d/sigma -> 0, and with the temperature scaled accordingly, the system corresponds to dipolar hard spheres. For separations in the range 0.3 < d/sigma <= 1 the coexisting vapor phase contains compact clusters. For separations in the range 0.1 <= d/sigma < 0.3 the coexistence is between a chainlike vapor and a networklike liquid. Finite-size effects preclude the simulation of the coexistence in systems with d/sigma < 0.1, but extrapolations of the results to d/sigma -> 0 yield estimates of the apparent critical parameters for dipolar hard spheres.

An excitation function for hypervelocity impact-induced wave propagation in satellite structures
2006 , Seiten: 3838 - 3846
KurzfassungAn empirical excitation function which defines the elastic excitation of a satellite wall-representative Aluminum plate from impact of a projectile at hypervelocity is derived empirically from experimentally validated hydrocode simulations. The resulting function is intended for application in a structural finite element model code to assess the perturbation effects of small micrometeoroid and space debris impacts on highly stiffened satellite structures. This will enable the risk that these impacts pose on a future generation of ESA scientific satellite missions employing ultra-sensitive equipment to be quantified. The excitation function has been empirically derived from simulated velocity measurements made at various offsets from the impact location. The measured velocity waveforms have been simplified in terms of its frequency content in mind of its end-point application in structural codes, and this simplified velocity waveform has been extrapolated to the impact o rigin. The resulting empirical function is polynomial-exponential decay in form, and defines a point-source velocity-time input for structural codes.

Characterisation and numerical simulation of twill and satin weaves of fabrics made of p-Aramid under static and dynamic loading
2006 , Seiten: 345 - 352
KurzfassungThe aim of this work is to numerically model two representative twill and satin weaves on a mesoscopical level in order to reveal weave specific yarn interactions. These mesoscopical models that explicitly depict each participating yarn are subjected to uniaxial tension, quasi-static biaxial tension and pure shear loading. The material response of both weaves will be investigated and compared to experimental results performed earlier by Rohr and Harwick.

Dispersive elements for spectrum splitting in solar cell applications
2006
KurzfassungPhotovoltaic tandem and triple solar cells are currently being developed and produced with reasonable efficiencies at high technological cost. The concept of spectrum splitting has been proposed with the advantage of compatibility to all types of cells. Although additional optical efforts are to be made, external photon management can be achieved to match different solar cell combinations no matter which band gaps involved or how the cells are connected. We present an experimental study comparing optical devices based on either interference or diffraction for tandem and triple cell configurations. Whereas diffractive media such as gratings suffer intrinsically from higher order diffraction losses, devices based on interference such as Bragg filter can yield a significant efficiency increase. For a triple cell configuration consisting of GaInP/GaInAs/GaSb, a net effciency gain of more than 30 % is shown in a solar cell simulator compared to the best cell in direct light.

Electronic conductivity in polyaromatic hydrocarbon glasses
2006 CIRCULATION & FULFILLMENT DIV, 2 HUNTINGTON QUADRANGLE, STE 1 N O 1, MELVILLE, NY 11747-4501 USA JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS, AMER INST PHYSICS, Band: 125, Nummer: 1
KurzfassungBased upon Monte Carlo simulations of amorphous molecular glasses, we have computed the electronic structure of five prototypical polyaromatic hydrocarbons using an extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model [J. R. Schrieffer, W. P. Su, and A. J. Heeger, Phys. Rev. Lett. 42, 1698 (1979)]. In the presence of excess charges, the resulting potential energy surfaces have been analyzed using Marcus’ [Annu. Rev. Phys. Chem. 15, 155 (1964)] theory of charge transfer to yield reaction coefficients and-via the application of linear response theory-local conductivities. Applying Kirchhoff’s rules, the emerging random resistor network problem leads to global conductivities of the order of 10(-1)-1 S/cm, which correlate with the structural characteristics of the underlying geometry.

Proactive robustness control of heterogeneously loaded networks.
2006 Phys Rev Lett, Band: 96, Nummer: 10, Seite: 108701
KurzfassungA proactive measure to increase the robustness of heterogeneously loaded networks against cascades of overload failures is proposed. It is based on load-dependent weights. Compared to simple hop weights, respective shortest flow paths turn a previously heterogeneous load distribution into a more homogeneous one for the nodes and links of the network. The use of these flow paths increases the networks robustness and at the same time reduces the investment costs into the networks capacity layout. These findings are of relevance for critical infrastructures like communication and transportation networks.

Ballistic limit equation for the normal impact of unyawed ellipsoid-shaped projectiles on aluminium Whipple Shields
2005 Science and Technology Series, Band: 109, Seiten: 291 - 308
KurzfassungIn this study, an approach to cope with the impactor shape in ballistic limit assessment of Whipple shields is presented. A ballistic limit equation (BLE) for impacts of ellipsoid-shaped projectiles on Whipple Shields was derived from existing and thoroughly verified BLEs which were originally developed to yield the critical projectile diameter of spherical projectiles impacting on aluminium Whipple shields. The derived equation was validated by hypervelocity impact tests and numerical simulations. The Whipple Shields had a bumper thickness of 1.0 mm and backwall thicknesses of 3.0 mm and 4.0 mm, respectively, placed at a stand-off of 200 mm and 150 mm, respectively, from the bumper. The total number of impact tests on Whipple Shields performed was 39, covering shape factors of around 0.4, 1.0, and 1.53. Projectile masses amounted to between 0.18 g and 0.32 g. Impact velocities ranged between 0.85 km/s and 6.76 km/s. The numerical simulations of hypervelocity impacts on Whipple Shields with spherical and prolate shaped projectiles (f=1.53) covered the velocity range up to 13 km/s which is not accessible to experimental testing. 8 numerical simulation runs were performed. The BLE can be used to predict the critical projectile mass for a given projectile shape for normal and unyawed impact on aluminium Whipple Shields as a function of impact velocity.

Comparison of density functionals for differences between the high-(T-5(2g)) and low-((1)A(1g)) spin states of iron(II) compounds. IV. Results for the ferrous complexes [Fe(L)(’NHS4’)]
2005 CIRCULATION & FULFILLMENT DIV, 2 HUNTINGTON QUADRANGLE, STE 1 N O 1, MELVILLE, NY 11747-4501 USA JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS, AMER INST PHYSICS, Band: 122, Nummer: 23
KurzfassungPrevious work testing density functionals for use in calculating high-spin-low-spin energy differences, Delta E-HL, for iron(II) spin-crossover transitions has tended to conclude that only properly reparametrized hybrid functionals can predict Delta E-HL since it seems to depend critically on a correct description of the electron pairing energy governed by the exchange term. Exceptions to this rule are the previous three papers (I, II, and III in the present series of papers) where it was found that modern generalized gradient approximations (GGAs) and meta-GGAs could do as well as hybrid functionals, if not better, for this type of problem. In the present paper, we extend these previous studies to five more molecules which are too large to treat with high-quality ab initio calculations, namely, the series [Fe(L)(’NHS4’)], where NHS4=2.2(’)-bis(2-mercaptophenylthio)diethylamine dianion, and L=NH3, N2H4, PMe3, CO, and NO+. Since we know of no reliable experimental estimate of Delta E-HL, we content ourselves with a comparison against the experimentally determined ground-state spin symmetry including, in so far as possible, finite-temperature effects. Together with the results of Papers I, II, and III, this paper provides a test of a large number of functionals against the high-spin/low-spin properties of a diverse set of Fe(II) compounds, making it possible to draw some particulary interesting conclusions. Trends among different classes of functionals are discussed and it is pointed out that there is at least one functional, namely, the OLYP generalized gradient approximation, which is able to give a reasonably good description of the delicate spin energetics of Fe(II) coordination compounds without resorting to hybrid functionals which require the relatively more expensive calculation of a Hartree-Fock-type exchange term.

An approach to achieve progress in spacecraft shielding
2004 Advances in Space Research, Band: 34, Nummer: 5, Seiten: 1063 - 1075
KurzfassungProgress in shield design against space debris can be achieved only when a combined approach based on several tools is used. This approach depends on the combined application of advanced numerical methods, specific material models and experimental determination of input parameters for these models. Examples of experimental methods for material characterization are given, covering the range from quasi static to very high strain rates for materials like Nextel and carbon fiber-reinforced materials. Mesh free numerical methods have extraordinary capabilities in the simulation of extreme material behaviour including complete failure with phase changes, combined with shock wave phenomena and the interaction with structural components. In this paper the benefits from combining numerical methods, material modelling and detailed experimental studies for shield design are demonstrated. The following examples are given: (1) Development of a material model for Nextel and Kevlar-Epoxy to enable numerical simulation of hypervelocity impacts on complex heavy protection shields for the International Space Station. (2) The influence of projectile shape on protection performance of Whipple Shields and how experimental problems in accelerating such shapes can be overcome by systematic numerical simulation. (3) The benefits of using metallic foams in "sandwich bumper shields" for spacecraft and how to approach systematic characterization of such materials.

Failure mechanisms in layered composite materials for compressed hydrogen tanks
2004
KurzfassungStorage systems for compressed hydrogen used in automotive applications are internally sealed by a diffusion barrier made of polyethylene or aluminium reinforced by a layer of several millimetres thick carbon fiber composite. A layer of impact resistant glass fiber covers the pressure vessel against external impact damage on the carbon shell. For safety reasons tank systems are qualified by several standardized tests. The main reason for these tests is to ensure that nocatas trophic failure of the tank could occur. Investigation on catastrophic failure of high performance composite materials was undertaken by testing and numerical simulation. Here the influence of preload during penetration of the laminate was investigated. A report of the current research is given.

Adaptive FE-Meshfree-Modelling for Impacts of Liquid Filled Vessels on Thin Walled Structures
2003 , Seiten: 43 - 48
KurzfassungA principal approach to simulate the airplane impact and the collapse of World Trade Center North Tower has been shown by Quan and Birnbaum [4]. Using the general purpose hydrocode AUTODYN the impact damage, fire induced strength reduction and progressive collapse were investigated. Both for the fuel propagation after tank break up and the thermodynamic burn processes assumptions have been taken. It is the aim of this paper to focus on the numerical aspects of simulating the fluid propagation after vessel break up. The release of a fluid out of a broken vessel after impact is not easily represented in a numerical simulation as the fluid flow and its interaction with structures can not be modelled using Lagrangian type element formulations. These elements, typically applied for structural analyses, fail under massive deformation and usually need then to be taken out of the simulation. Typical fluid dynamic discretization methods, so called Eulerian grids, would have to cover the whole space potentially being reached by the fluid flow and are therefore inefficient in a large three dimensional simulation. As an alternative method a coupled discretization using Lagrange elements and Lagrange type meshfree methods is proposed here. Meshfree methods have been introduced to structural dynamics more then ten years ago specifically to simulate processes including large deformation [1]. Originally developed as pure meshfree code, the EMI SOPHIA [3] provides now a new form of adaptivity that allows for more efficiency and accuracy. This is achieved by the use of finite elements as long as deformation is capable for the elements. At definable strain or failure thresholds any element can be transformed into one or more meshfree particles. This way, mass and volume of the original elements are conserved. As the particles interact with each other as well as with the remaining elements, all physical processes can be modelled continuously. The purpose of this study was to contribute to numerical simulation of the airplane impacts into the World Trade Center. It includes impact simulations of cylindrical vessels filled with water against thin walled rectangular shaped bars. It shows that coupled discretizations and specifically an adaptive FE-meshfree discretization offer the flexibility needed to gain both accuracy and efficiency in the simulation.

Advanced numerical models and material characterisation techniques for composite materials subject to impact and shock wave loading
2003 Journal de physique. 4, Colloque, Band: 110, Seiten: 311 - 316
KurzfassungThe development and validation of an advanced material model for orthotropic materials, such as fibre reinforced composites, is described. The model is specifically designed to facilitate the numerical simulation of impact and shock wave propagation through orthotropic materials and the prediction of subsequent material damage. Initial development of the model concentrated on correctly representing shock wave propagation in composite materials under high and hypervelocity impact conditions. This work has now been extended to further concentrate on the development of improved numerical models and material characterisation techniques for the prediction of damage, including residual strength, in fibre reinforced composite materials. The work is focussed on Kevlar-epoxy however materials such as CFRP are also being considered. The paper describes our most recent activities in relation to the implementation of advanced material modelling options in this area. These enable refined non-liner directional characteristics of composite materials to be modelled, in addition to the correct thermodynamic response under shock wave loading. The numerical work is backed by an extensive experimental programme covering a wide range of static and dynamic tests to facilitate derivation of model input data and to validate the predicted material response. Finally, the capability of the developing composite material model is discussed in relation to a hypervelocity impact problem.

Numerik und Werkstoffdynamik der Crash- und ImpaktvorgĂ¤nge
2003 Fraunhofer IRB Verlag, Stuttgart, Fraunhofer IRB Verlag, Stuttgart
KurzfassungTheorie und Experiment der Werkstoffcharakterisierung fĂźr dynamisches Materialverhalten sind zwei Welten, die sich vielfach getrennt voneinander entfalten. Zusammen mit der numerischen Methodenentwicklung sind dies die drei obligatorischen Bausteine einer physikalisch sinnvollen Simulation von Crash- und ImpaktvorgĂ¤ngen. Im Automobilcrash, beim Impakt von FlugkĂśrpern auf harte oder gepanzerte Strukturen wie auch beim Einschlag von Mikrometeoriten in Raumfahrzeugen treten kurzzeitige Belastungen der jeweiligen Werkstoffe auf, die mit groĂen zeitlichen Ănderungen der Druck-, Dichte- und VerformungszustĂ¤nde einhergehen. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, fĂźr diese drei Anwendungsbereiche die theoretischen Grundlagen sowohl fĂźr die Formulierung mathematischer Modelle als auch fĂźr die Definition und DurchfĂźhrung von Experimenten zur Ermittlung von Materialparametern zusammenzustellen. Die Arbeit spiegelt eine wesentliche Bestrebung des Autors in seiner TĂ¤tigkeit am Ernst-Mach-Institut wider, die bestehenden Forschungsteams zur dynamischen MaterialprĂźfung und zur numerischen Methodenentwicklung zusammenzufĂźhren. Grundlagen und ausgewĂ¤hlte Ergebnisse der gleichzeitigen experimentellen und numerischen Untersuchung der Strukturdynamik bei Crash und Impakt werden dargestellt.

KurzfassungStarting with an introduction into the field of hypervelocity impacts, an overview over current research in the area of protection against space debris is given. Trends and strategies to further develop know-how in protection technology are then discussed. One purpose is to demonstrate that improvements in shield efficiency can be expected. To achieve this aim, a strategy is outlined which tries to avoid the adjustment of numerical and material parameters by fits to penetration experiments. Instead, it is suggested to determine material parameters from carefully selected laboratory tests, covering a broad range of strains, strain rates and stress states. Knowledge of the dynamic material behaviour can then be used for the development of new shield concepts by means of numerical simulation.

Numerical sensitivity studies of a UHMWPE composite for ballistic protection
Numerical sensitivity studies of a UHMWPE composite for ballistic protection
LĂ¤ssig T, Riedel W, Heisserer U, Werff H, May M, Hiermaier S
KurzfassungUltra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has a high potential for ballistic armor applications due to the excellent weight specific strength inherent to this type of material. In this paper, a non-linear orthotropic material model for the UHMWPE, based on the product DYNEEMAÂŽ HB26, is used for assessing the influence of the material properties on the ballistic performance. The model, implemented in the commercial hydrocode ANSYS AUTODYN uses initially linear-orthotropic elasticity, subsequent non-linear strain hardening, multiple stress-based composite failure criteria and post-failure softening. The strength model is coupled with a polynomial equation of state. An experimentally supported material data set for UHMWPE, presented before, is used as a baseline for the numerical studies on high velocity impact. Parameter sensitivities are studied for these impact situations. The numerical predictions are compared to available experimental data over a wide range of impact velocities (1 km/s up to 6 km/s). The objective of this paper is to assess the influence of different material parameters on the predictive capability of high velocity impact simulations and subsequently provide guidelines for the required experimental characterization of UHMWPE under shock loading.

Hypervelocity impact induced shockwaves and related equations of state
Hypervelocity impact induced shockwaves and related equations of state
Hiermaier S
KurzfassungPrecondition for stable shock wave propagation is a convex Equation of State (EoS) in terms of pressure and volume. The first mathematical proof for the existence and dependence of shock waves on that non-linearity was derived by Bethe [1]. In this introductory chapter, a more phenomenological approach to derive conditions for shock wave formation will be given along with some examples for Equations of State used in hydrocodes.

Photonic structures for III-V//Si multijunction solar cells with efficiency >33%
In: Photonics for Solar Energy Systems VII
2018, SPIE, Seite: 2, SPIE, ISBN: 9781510619029
KurzfassungSilicon based multi-junction solar cells are a promising option to overcome the theoretical efficiency limit of a silicon solar cell (29.4%). With III-V semiconductors, high bandgap materials applicable for top cells are available. For the application of such silicon based multi-junction devices, a full integration of all solar cell layers in one 2-terminal device is of great advantage. We realized a triple-junction device by wafer-bonding two III-V-based top cells onto the silicon bottom cell. However, in such a series connected solar cell system, the currents of all sub-cells need to be matched in order to achieve highest efficiencies. To fulfil the current matching condition and maximise the power output, photonic structures were investigated. The reference system without photonic structures, a triple-junction cell with identical GaInP/GaAs top cells, suffered from a current limitation by the weakly absorbing indirect semiconductor silicon bottom cell. Therefore rear side diffraction gratings manufactured by nanoimprint lithography were implemented to trap the infrared light and boost the solar cell current by more than 1 mA/cm2. Since planar passivated surfaces with an additional photonic structure (i.e. electrically planar but optically structured) were used, the optical gain could be realized without deterioration of the electrical cell properties, leading to a strong efficiency increase of 1.9% absolute. With this technology, an efficiency of 33.3% could be achieved.

On the Determination of the Contact Resistivity for Passivating Contacts Using 3D Simulations
In: 33rd EU PVSEC
2017, ,
KurzfassungBesides surface passivation, a low contact resistivity is one of the most important requirements of passivating contacts in order to achieve good carrier selectivity. In this work, different methods to determine the contact resistivity were performed and compared using a passivating contact structure consisting of poly silicon on a thin silicon oxide. As the traditional 1D Transmission Line Model (TLM) includes many assumptions that are not valid for complicated structures and even the application of the analytical 2D TLM is limited, especially for very low contact resistivity values, 3D numerical simulations with Quokka3 were carried out to accurately model passivating contact structures and determine the contact resistivity by comparison to electrical measurements. The investigated sample showed both, good passivation quality with implied open-circuit voltage iVoc of 716 mV together with a low specific contact resistivity of 0.21 mΩ·cm2 as extracted from the numerical simulations. Using our method, it is possible to distinguish the sources of the contact resistivity. A fraction of 0.11 mΩ·cm2 could be attributed to the interface between metal & poly-Si layer and 0.10 mΩ·cm2 results from the interface between poly-Si layer & bulk.

Power Flow Tracing in Complex Networks
In: New Horizons in Fundamental Physics
2017, Springer International Publishing, Seiten: 357 - 373,
KurzfassungThe increasing share of decentralized renewable power generation represents a challenge to the current and future energy system. Providing a geographical smoothing effect, long-range power transmission plays a key role for the system integration of these fluctuating resources. However, the build-up and operation of the necessary network infrastructure incur costs which have to be allocated to the users of the system. Flow tracing techniques, which attribute the power flow on a transmission line to the geographical location of its generation and consumption, represent a valuable tool set to design fair usage and thus cost allocation schemes for transmission investments. In this article, we introduce a general formulation of the flow tracing method and apply it to a simplified model of a highly renewable European electricity system. We review a statistical usage measure which allows to integrate network usage information for longer time series, and illustrate this measure using an analytical test case.

Understanding the Light-Induced Degradation at Elevated Temperatures: Similarities between Multicrystalline and Floatzone p-Type Silicon.8 pages / 33rd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 218-225
In: 33rd EU PVSEC
2017, ,
KurzfassungThis paper discusses degradation phenomena in crystalline silicon. We present new investigations of the light‐ and elevated temperature‐induced degradation of multicrystalline silicon. The investigations provide insights into the defect parameters as well as the diffusivity and solubility of impurity species contributing to the defect. We discuss possible defect precursor species and can rule out several metallic impurities. We find that an involvement of hydrogen in the defect could explain the characteristic observations for light‐ and elevated temperature‐induced degradation. Furthermore, we demonstrate analogies to the light‐induced degradation mechanisms at elevated temperatures observed in floatzone silicon, where several experimental results also indicate an involvement of hydrogen in the defect. Based on the similarities between multicrystalline and floatzone silicon, we suggest that both degradation phenomena might be caused by the same or similar defects. As we do not expect large concentrations of metals in floatzone silicon, we suggest that complexes of hydrogen and a species introduced during crystal growth might cause both degradation phenomena.

A multispectral tunnel inspection system for simultaneous moisture and shape detection
2019 SPIE Remote Sensing, 2019, Strasbourg, France , Band: Vol. 11157, 111570T
KurzfassungIn this paper, we present the implementation of a differential-absorption measurement-technique for surface moisture detection into a laser scanner aiding modern tunnel inspections. The use of laser scanners for tunnel inspections can reduce costly tunnel closures and provide digital data, compliant with modern building information modeling (BIM). Unfortunately, available systems are typically limited to pure 3D mapping. The Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques IPM is developing a novel multi-parameter laser scanning system. For the first time, this system allows the simultaneous measurement of 3D-geometry, remission and surface moisture. The scanner measures simultaneously with two collinear laser beams with distinct wavelengths. One is centered at the absorption band of water at 1450 nm wavelength, while the other, with 1320 nm wavelength, is used as an intensity reference. The intensity ratio gives a good estimate of the surface water content. Additionally, the power of both lasers is modulated with a high frequency. This enables simultaneous measurement of the distance by comparing the phase difference of the backscattered light with a local reference. With this approach, we are able to record up to two million points per second containing distance, intensity and moisture information. Besides the technical implementation, we present point clouds from multiple test objects and surfaces. The presented data nicely demonstrates the ability to differentiate between absolute intensity variations, e.g. caused by dirt, and actual water contamination.

Development of a multispectral scanning lidar system for measuring wind velocity, air temperature and moisture
2019 SPIE Remote Sensing, 2019, Strasbourg, France
KurzfassungMeasurements of atmospheric parameters, such as wind velocity, air temperature and moisture, provide important information for a diverse set of ﬁelds, ranging from estimating energy output of wind farms to predicting extreme weather events to understanding urban climatology. Performing these measurements quickly, reliably and with high accuracy presents a yet unsolved challenge. Especially when working in or close to complex terrain, such as forests, hillsides or urban landscapes, no available system can properly perform such measurements. The Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques IPM is developing a novel multispectral scanning LiDAR system. The goal is to simultaneously and accurately measure wind speed, air temperature and moisture over complex terrain for the ﬁrst time. We present the current state of a scanner system for synchronized steering of multiple laser beams from diﬀerent LiDAR units towards positions in the commonly visible intersection volume, subtending up to 7/8th of the full solid angle. We also present the state of an in-house developed Doppler Wind LiDAR and our current proposal for a combined wind, air temperature and water vapor LiDAR.

Development of a time-of-ﬂight laser scanning system for underwater applications
2019 SPIE Remote Sensing, 2019, Strasbourg, France , Band: 111500M, 11150 (1-6)
KurzfassungAn increasing number of underwater construction projects demand a solution for precise and highly resolved infrastructure monitoring which cannot be addressed by conventional sonar systems. We present an optical ranging system based on the pulsed time-of-ﬂight method incorporating a signal-processing toolchain especially equipped for mapping technical infrastructure. This allows us to handle multiple returns from objects which are only separated by a 15 cm gap. A high lateral resolution of 4 mm in combination with a high measurement rate of 50 000 measurements per second allows the reconstruction of ﬁne details. The measurement range can reach several 10 m, depending on the water quality. Further, we present the system design of our scanner and discuss ﬁrst results obtained in an underwater measurement range.

Promoting flexibility from prosumers through a generic characteristic flexibility model
2019 11. Internationale Energiewirtschaftstagung an der TU Wien
KurzfassungEnergy systems require flexibility - an ability to respond to changes - to integrate higher shares of variable renewable energy. On the whole, flexibility potential from prosumers is significant and stems from various processes. As each flexibility option is unique, before utilization, its potential first must be assessed. This paper presents a universal flexibility model, so called generic characteristic flexibility model (GCM), as tool to characterize and assess most, if not all, flexibility options from prosumers. GCM establishes a generic flexible process with components representing physical parts, e.g. machine and storage, and various administrative decisions, e.g. changes in output delivery or operating hours. Each component is described with essential characteristics and constraints. As demonstrations, three flexible systems representing various sectors – a district heating system, a household appliance, and a production process - are characterized and modelled using GCM. Flexibility in these systems is utilized to minimize costs under time-varying electricity prices and subject to operational constraints. This in turn proves the concept of a universal flexibility model. GCM eases burdens of actors - flexibility providers and users - to develop assessment tools for each flexibility options. Its pre-defined structure and characteristics also support identification of flexible processes and communication between actors. Thus, it helps promoting the utilization of flexibility from prosumers.

High rate loading of hybrid joints in a Split Hopkinson Tension Bar
2018 International Conference on the Mechanical and Physical Behaviour of Materials under Dynamic Loading (DYMAT)/Arcachon EPJ Web of Conferences, Band: 183
KurzfassungBonded joints are nowadays seen as one of the preferred joining methods in aerospace applications. However, the difficulty in certifying bond strength and the relatively low energy absorption capability of the joint are barriers to widespread adoption. The use of a hybrid joint, that is, the combination of a mechanical and a bonded joint, allows for a fail-safe design and offers improved performance of the joint. The quasi-static properties of hybrid joints have been investigated by a number of researchers. In contrast, the high rate loading regime has been only sparsely investigated. In this work, hybrid joints are tested in quasi-static and high rate loading in order to analyze their loading rate dependence. The hybrid joint studied is a composite-aluminum double lap shear joint with Sikaforce 7752 adhesive and Hi-Lite-315 countersunk titanium bolts. In order to quantitatively analyze the high rate behavior of the hybrid joints and their respective sub-components, additional tests are carried out on simply bonded and simply bolted specimens. The high rate characterization was performed with a Split Hopkinson Tension Bar. The main challenges for these tests are the relatively large specimen size and complex specimen geometry needed to properly characterize the joint behavior, which both are in contradiction with the assumptions of the classical Split Hopkinson Bar-analysis. In this paper we describe an approach to solve these challenges based on an elastic wave analysis of the system.

Bidding Strategies for Flexible and Inflexible Generation in a Power Market Simulation Model
2018 1st International Workshop on Energy Market Engineering ACM e-Energy 2018, Band: 1, Nummer: 1, Seiten: 532 - 537
KurzfassungThis paper presents an electricity market simulation model that focuses on the distinction between flexible and inflexible generation, and formulates bidding strategies for capacities of either type. Bid formulation for flexible power plants, storage and demand response units at a balancing power market and an energy exchange market are described, and exemplary results from the simulation model are presented. It is shown that the simulation model can realistically reproduce market outcomes for the example of the German market zone, and that it can also simulate negative market prices. Results reveal that power plants could be deployed in a more flexible manner than they are currently done in actual market operation, where larger variations of output are avoided especially for nuclear and lignite-fired power plants. The model can be used for analyzing future energy scenarios of high shares of variable renewable energy (VRE), and help answering research questions related to the required system flexibility for balancing out VRE fluctuations.

Trajectory based 3D fragment tracking in hypervelocity impact experiments
2018 Symposium "Towards Photogrammetry 2020"/Riva del Garda ISPRS, 2018 (The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences XLII-2, Band: XLII-2
KurzfassungCollisions between space debris and satellites in Earth’s orbits are not only catastrophic to the satellite, but also create thousands of newfragments, exacerbating the space debris problem. One challenge in understanding the space debris environment is the lack of data onfragmentation and breakup caused by hypervelocity impacts. In this paper, we present an experimental measurement technique capableof recording 3D position and velocity data of fragments produced by hypervelocity impact experiments in the lab. The experimentalsetup uses stereo high-speed cameras to record debris fragments generated by a hypervelocity impact. Fragments are identified andtracked by searching along trajectory lines and outliers are filtered in 4D space (3D + time) with RANSAC. The method is demonstratedon a hypervelocity impact experiment at 3.2 km/s and fragment velocities and positions are measured. The results demonstrate thatthe method is very robust in its ability to identify and track fragments from the low resolution and noisy images typical of high-speedrecording.

Advanced module optics of textured perovskite silicon tandem solar cells
2018 SPIE Photonics Europe, 2018, Strasbourg, France Photonics for Solar Energy Systems VII,, Band: 10688, Seiten: 1068805-1 - 1068805-5
KurzfassungPerovskite silicon tandem solar cells can overcome the efficiency limit of single junction silicon solar cells. Optical modeling plays a crucial role for the device optimization but it becomes complex if optically thin and thick layers as well as interface textures, such as random pyramids, are involved. Within this work, the OPTOS simulation formalism is applied in order to compare perovskite silicon tandem solar cells with planar and textured front side. Modeling the configuration with planar front side and textured rear exhibits a matched photocurrent density of 18.2 mA/cm2. For the system with textured front and planar rear side the reduced reflectance leads to a photocurrent density of 19.6 mA/cm2 although parasitic absorption in the Spiro-OMeTAD and ITO layers increases. Taking into account the full module stack in the OPTOS simulation shows an increased front side reflectance and parasitic absorption in the EVA. The difference between the resulting photocurrent densities (17.8 mA/cm2 and 18.9 mA/cm2) demonstrates the optical superiority of the investigated system with textured front side not only at cell level but also in the full module stack.

Nanoimprinted sol-gel materials for antireflective structures on silicon solar cells
2018 SPIE Photonics Europe, 2018, Strasbourg, France
KurzfassungSilicon solar cells are typically textured by means of wet chemical etching in order to enhance absorption. Within this work, we apply an optically functional layer onto a planar silicon surface. This layer is made of a high refractive index sol-gel material and can be patterned by nanoimprint lithography (NIL). In first experiments, we investigated various sol-gel based TiO2 precursors and evaluated their refractive index as well as the possibility to apply them in NIL. The refractive index was determined to be up to 2.25 using ellipsometry. This result was achieved with a solution composed of amorphous TiO2 precursors mixed with ethanol and 1,5-pentanediol. The topography of the patterned TiO2 layers were investigated using an atomic force microscope (AFM) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) revealing a period of 1 μm and a pattern depth of 60 nm after sintering. Furthermore, optical modeling was used to optimize the structure parameters in order to minimize the weighted reflectance of an encapsulated silicon solar cell

A parametric mesostructural approach for robust design of additive manufacturing parts
2018 Fraunhofer Direct Digital Manufacturing Conference (DDMC)/Berlin Fraunhofer Direct Digital Manufacturing Conference DDMC 2018, Band: 1
KurzfassungAdditive Manufacturing (AM) allows for production of potentially complex design solutions and motivates the use of Structural Optimization tools in product development to chase the structural limit of a design problem and its solution concept. Scratching on the limits of the material strength, design solutions can lack robustness concerning simplifications in model assumptions and uncertainties. However, the design freedom with AM can also actively be used to enhance robustness and reliability of solutions. To this end, an approach is presented that introduces Parametric Mesostructures into selective areas of the Additive Design. Structural members and coherent mechanical characteristics of these mesostructures can significantly reduce local stress peaks and can account for uncertainties, e.g. direction of load application. Their design is motivated by Structural Optimization and analysis results. Implementation of the approach is demonstrated and discussed on the example of a structural aircraft component.

2017 International Astronautical Congress (IAC)/Adelaide 68th International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2017): Unlocking Imagination, Fostering Innovation and Strengthening Security, Band: 6, Seiten: 3585 - 3592
KurzfassungIn-orbit impacts between satellites and space debris lead to varying degrees of fragmentation, ranging anywhere from minor damage to complete breakups. In this paper, we describe an experimental measurement approach for studying the fragmentation effects of hypervelocity impact in the laboratory. We investigate hypervelocity impacts on a thin aluminum bumper plates and track individual fragments in the debris clouds with an innovative algorithm that bases matches on trajectories instead of features. The experimental setup involves recording the debris cloud fragments illuminated by a thin laser plane with a high-speed video camera. The image sequence is analyzed, yielding spatio-temporal information about each fragment in the debris cloud. This allows individual fragment size and velocity information, to directly measured.

Allocation of nodal costs in heterogeneous highly renewable European electricity networks
2017 14th International Conference on the European Energy Market (EEM), 2017, Seiten: 1 - 6
KurzfassungWe consider a simplified model of a future European electricity network with a high share of renewable generation. In a cost optimal design of such a system, most of the renewable generation capacity is placed at locations with favorable weather conditions, that is for instance onshore wind in countries bordering the North Sea and solar PV in South European countries. Countries with less favorable renewable generation conditions benefit from this capacity by importing the respective electricity as power flows through the transmission grid. Using flow tracing techniques, we disentangle the emerging pattern of imports and exports and assign shares of the distributed generation capacity in the European system to the countries which actually make use of them. This procedure yields nodal levelized costs, which incorporate both internal and external generation costs associated with the electricity consumption in a country.

Potentials of optical damage assessment techniques in automotive crash-concepts composed of FRP-steel hybrid material systems
2017 12th International Conference on Damage Assessment of Structures, DAMAS 2017. Proceedings, IOP, London, Seite: Art. 012044, 13
KurzfassungWith car manufacturers simultaneously facing increasing passive safety and efficiency requirements, FRP-metal hybrid material systems are one way to design lightweight and crashworthy vehicle structures. Generic automotive hybrid structural concepts have been tested under crash loading conditions. In order to assess the state of overall damage and structural integrity, and primarily to validate simulation data, several NDT techniques have been assessed regarding their potential to detect common damage mechanisms in such hybrid systems. Significant potentials were found particularly in combining 3D-topography laser scanning and X-Ray imaging results. Ultrasonic testing proved to be limited by the signal coupling quality on damaged or curved surfaces.

KurzfassungIn the course of a strong trend towards automotive material diversification, hybrid material systems could offer solutions to design lightweight body-in-white structures particularly subject to crash loads in order to meet the demands of both ambitious efficiency goals and increasingly strict vehicle safety requirements. Hybrid material systems consisting of glass- and carbon fiber reinforced plastics and sheet steel are tested under axial impact loading and analyzed regarding their qualitative behavior and relevant crash metrics. The study shows the complex behavior of those material systems and the interaction between the material phases resulting in a complex system of parameter effects and interdependencies. Generally, the hybrid specimens studied indicated their applicability in automotive crash structures by exhibiting comparable results to pure FRP materials while simultaneously being potentially more compatible and cost efficient.

Improved explosion consequence analysis with combined CFD and damage models
2016 15th International Symposium on Loss Prevention and Safety Promotion in the Process Industries 2016. Proceedings, AIDIC, Mailand, Seiten: 109 - 114
KurzfassungThe most-widely used approach to explosion consequence analysis is the classical engineering method based on the combination of TNT equivalence, scaled distances and overpressure-based damage levels. This approach rests on established and easily comprehensible elements and permits a fast assessment of explosion consequences. There are however several limitations inherent in this approach. In contrast, a simulation-based approach using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural dynamics (CSD) methods permits an analysis with a high level of detail regarding both the prediction of the explosive loads and the caused damage. This comes at the cost of complex simulation models which require expert knowledge, intense validation and a high computational effort. To bridge the gap between the classical simplified approach and the CFD/CSD based methods, we have developed a specialized CFD tool, the APOLLO Blastsimulator, with a built-in library of experimentally validated damage models and blast-injury models suitable for an improved explosion consequence analysis. The high resolution CFD tool uses globally and locally adaptive Cartesian grids and includes models for TNT detonations as well as gas detonations. The built-in damage models are based on experimentally validated single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) representations of structural components. This paper gives a brief review on the classical approaches and their limitations and an overview on the concepts used in the APOLLO Blastsimulator and the SDOF damage models. For an exemplary explosion scenario the results obtained with different explosive source and damage models are compared.

Towards a novel and applicable approach for Resilience Engineering
2016 6th International Disaster and Risk Conference, IDRC 2016. Extended Abstracts, GRF, Davos, Seiten: 272 - 276
KurzfassungResilience Engineering can provide society and its critical infrastructure and systems with means, methods and technologies to overcome disruptions with as less harm as possible. In this context it is of utmost importance to identify ways to strengthen the adaptive capacity of up to complex socio technical systems. We try to establish Resilience Engineering as away of thinking that enables engineers to use their scientific expertise, creative ingenuity and help society to develop tools to handle all kinds of adverse events properly - from critical system disruptions, natural disasters, global terrorism to large-scale infrastructure failure. For that purpose, we suggest to deliberately limit the scope of Resilience Engineering towards engineering, i.e. mainly technological solutions, in contrast to the main body of Resilience Engineering literature. By that we try to pave the way for the next generation of engineers dealing with the extension from risk analysis and management towards resilience thinking. In short, Resilience Engineering means preserving critical functionality, ensuring graceful degradation and enabling fast recovery of systems with the help of engineered generic capabilities as well as customized technological solutions when the systems witness problems, unexpected disruptions or unexampled events. One central aspect of Resilience Engineering is the ability to quantify and measure resilience. Only adequate and valid indicators will give us the chance for comparatively and absolutely analyzing various systems with respect to their specific resilience. Finally, we need to be able to develop advanced methods for modelling and simulating, in particular for complex systems and their resilience towards adverse events. The presentation will hint at opportunities and research necessities for developing a new and integrated approach to model, simulate and improve the resilience of complex, interdependent, sociotechnical systems.

Improvements to the prototype micro-brittle model of peridynamics
2015 Meshfree Methods for Partial Differential Equations VII, Springer International Publishing, Cham, Seiten: 163 - 183
KurzfassungThis paper assesses the accuracy and convergence of the bond-based Peridynamic model with brittle failure, known as the prototype micro-brittle (PMB) model. We investigate the discrete equations of this model, suitable for numerical implementation. It is shown that the widely used discretization approach incurs rather large errors. Motivated by this observation, a correction is proposed, which significantly increases the accuracy by cancelling errors associated with the discretization. As an additional result, we derive equations to treat the interactions between differently sized particles, i.e., a non-homogeneous discretization spacing. This presents an important step forward for the applicability of the PMB model to complex geometries, where it is desired to model interesting parts with a fine resolution (small particle spacings) and other parts with a coarse resolution in order to gain numerical efficiency. Validation of the corrected Peridynamic model is performed by comparing longitudinal sound wave propagation velocities with exact theoretical results. We find that the corrected approach correctly reproduces the sound wave velocity, while the original approach severely overestimates this quantity. Additionally, we present simulations for a crack growth problem which can be analytically solved within the framework of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics Theory. We find that the corrected Peridynamics model is capable of quantitatively reproducing crack initiation and propagation.

KurzfassungSplit Hopkinson Tension Bar (SHTB) experiments can be used to test the material behavior with high strain rates in tension loading. The influence of the specimen mounting and the specimen design on the test results was investigated. Three mounting methods were tested. The best signal is achieve using a mounting based on form fit. The three tested specimen designs all lead to a valid fracture behavior, but result in a different local strain rate.

Mechanical characterization of hybrid material systems consisting of sheet metal and advanced composites
2015 20th International Conference on Composite Materials, ICCM 2015. Proceedings. Online resource, Seiten: Paper 4213 - 5, 16
KurzfassungStrip-shaped hybrid coupon specimens comprised of steel and glass/carbon fiber reinforced plastics are tested under quasistatic tension and 3-point-bending. The effects of major material and design parameters (steel and fiber type, laminate thickness and layup) on the stiffness, strength and the specific energy absorption are assessed. Furthermore, hybrid mechanisms resulting from the mutual interaction of both constituent materials are presented. Although anticipated effects on the hybrid specimens' stiffness and strength are widely confirmed, the fiber type for example exhibits a distinctly smaller impact than expected. The specimens' loading and failure behavior is rather dominated by the type of steel and its characteristics. Thus, glass fiber reinforced hybrid variants generally keep up with carbon fiber reinforced hybrid variants in terms of mechanical properties. Considering the difference in price, this is of particular interest for hybrid mid or high volume crash structural applications. As hybrid mechanism, a distinct extension of the maximum strain is observed for both composites (up to 48 %) and steel (up to 23 %) when joined in a hybrid specimen and tested under tensile loads. Furthermore, having composites on the rather pressure loaded side in 3-point-bending results in a 26 %-increase in mass specific energy absorption (compared to reverse loading) due to an enhanced composite failure mode and the stabilizing effect of the steel strip.

New method to analyze numerical crash simulation data to assess the suitability of hybrid composite structures in automotive applications
2015 30. American Society for Composites 2015. Proceedings. CD-ROM, DEStech Publications, Lancaster, Pa., Seite: Paper 1554, 15
KurzfassungIn order to enhance development processes for multi material vehicle architecture concepts involving composites or hybrid composite-metal material systems a method is presented that aims to rationalize engineering judgements by means of quantifiable criteria for the suitability of a certain hybrid material system for a particular structural application. A number of significant crash load cases for a structure is considered simultaneously by superimposing the output data of several numerical crash simulations and defining criteria to qualify the suitability of a particular hybrid material system. The work introduced here focusses on the analysis of the global anisotropy of the crash loading situation as an indicator for a rather composite- or metal-intensive hybrid material system. The definition of the anisotropy criterion and the implementation of the method into the development infrastructure of automotive engineering is presented. A first step validation using simple flat coupon specimen simulations shows reasonable results and proves the applicability of the method.

Integrated experimental-numerical characterization of geological materials under shock and impact
2013 Rock Dynamics and Applications. State of the Art, CRC Press, Hoboken, Seiten: 71 - 76
KurzfassungScientific investigation of transient processes and engineering design of structures for dynamic loading conditions are still a great challenge. Other than quasi-static loading conditions a dynamic application of loads by impact or blast leads to additional effects that enhance the complexity of the thermo-mechanical material behavior. They can be reduced to two basic phenomena: first, the strain rate dependent change of mechanical behavior and, secondly, the evolution and propagation of shock waves. In order to understand the structural behavior under transient loading conditions, the involved materials need to be characterized by material tests. Mathematical formulations are needed for the description of both the strain rate dependent deviatoric behavior and the non-linear Equation of State responsible for the shock wave formation. Implemented into numerical codes these constitutive equations allow for a predictive simulation of the structural behavior. Sometimes nume rical simulation itself can be used to derive material properties. This is the case when for example the material is composed of two or more constituents for which the individual thermo-mechanical properties are known. Modeling the composite material as specimens and application of loads that may be outside the load types applicable in experiments leads to additional results not achievable in a pure experimental approach. Therefore, an integrated experimental-numerical approach for the characterization of materials under transient loading conditions is more and more preferred if predictive capabilities are needed for the highly complex phenomena observed in the related structural applications of interest.

Mesoscale Investigation of Shock Wave Effects in Dry and Water-saturated Sandstone
2013 12th Hypervelocity Impact Symposium, HVIS 2012. Proceedings, Elsevier, Amsterdam
KurzfassungIn this paper, the behavior of natural sandstone under hypervelocity impact is investigated numerically. Sandstone essentially consists of cemented quartz grains, it can be generally considered as a polygranular structure with air or water-filled pores. In order to study the influence of pores and water filling on the behavior of sandstone under shock loading, a numerical investigation at the mesoscale is performed. We explicitly resolve pores and the closure of pores in a homogeneous and isotropic quartz matrix. The quartz matrix is described with an equation of state and a strength model; the pore geometry is simplified. Two-dimensional planar shock simulations are conducted in order to analyze effects of quartz strength and water-saturation on pore crushing. Averaging is used to perform a macroscale analysis of the dependencies of pressure and shock velocity on particle velocity. The simulation results shall enhance the basis for the development of accurate macroscale sandstone models that take the water content into account.

KurzfassungUnderstanding the mechanisms of failure in materials on various length- and time scales is a prerequisite for the design of new materials with desired superior properties such as high toughness or strength. On the macroscopic scale, many materials such as concrete or ceramics may be viewed as being homogeneous; however, on the scale of a few microns these materials often exhibit an inhomogeneous polyhedral granular structure which is known to influence its macroscopic mechanical and optical properties, see e.g. Steinhauser [1].

Transient stress and failure analysis of impact experiments with ceramics
2010 3rd International Conference on Science and Technology of Advanced Ceramics, STAC 2009, Elsevier, Amsterdam, Seiten: 139 - 147
KurzfassungAt Ernst-Mach-Institut (EMI), ductile and brittle materials are studied both experimentally and numerically with the focus on shock and impact loading and associated damage effects. Experimental investigations using plate impact, edge-on impact, penetration and perforation on light gas accelerators provide input for numerical studies and allow verification of constitutive models. Hydrocodes are the standard numerical tool for the simulation of transient processes and basis of the modelling in the present paper. Besides use of commercial codes with mesh-based Lagrangean and Eulerian spatial discretization, an own meshfree SPH code has been developed at EMI. Edge-on impact experiments, plate impact tests and deep penetration in confined targets are simulated to study different loading histories and failure conditions. Significantly different material models based on continuum damage approaches as well as microstatistical modelling of inhomogeneities have been implemented. Their performances in reproducing damage fracture patterns and continued fragment loading in different ceramic types are analysed and compared to edge-on impact experiments.

KurzfassungOn the basis of comprehensive experimental investigations on a long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP-LGF) a novel rheological material model is developed. It features a decomposition of the stress into a time independent quasi-static and a time and strain dependent viscous contribution. Furthermore it allows for plastic deformations starting from the very beginning of straining and is thereby able to reproduce the absence of a purely linear elastic domain going along with the nonexistence of a defined yield point, characteristic for many fiber reinforced thermoplastic polymers. In order to approach the true quasi-static material behavior, various tensile tests were carried out. The viscous material behavior was deduced from a series of stress relaxation experiments and is described by Eyring's equation with strain dependent viscosity parameters.

Characterizing the transient response of CFRP/Al HC spacecraft structures induced by space debris impact at hypervelocity
2008 Hypervelocity impact. Proceedings of the 2007 symposium, Elsevier, Amsterdam, Seiten: 1756 - 1763
KurzfassungTo quantify the disturbance induced by the impact of micrometeoroid and space debris particles at hypervelocity on vibration-sensitive CFRP/Al HC SP satellite platforms a method is presented which uses experimentally validated hydrocode models to characterize the impact-induced transient wave in the local structure. Key features of the transient waveform are simplified by a mathematical function which is expressed in terms of impactor momentum. Evolution of the transient waveform is characterized using multiple measurement gauges located on the sandwich panel facesheets outside the area of mechanical damage. The characterization is then used to extrapolate the elastic waveform back to the impact location. The elastic-equivalent excitation of a CFRP/Al HC SP is defined in terms of force with respect to time for application in finite element: structural codes for propagation of the local disturbance to vibration-sensitive locations (i.e. measurement devices).

Structural vibrations induced by HVI - Application to the Gaia spacecraft
2008 Hypervelocity impact. Proceedings of the 2007 symposium, Elsevier, Amsterdam, Seiten: 1836 - 1843
KurzfassungGiven the growing stability needed for spacecraft in operation to ensure functioning of future instruments whose sensitivity requires an important technological step, perturbations encounter in orbital conditions that used to be negligible, become today an issue. This is the case of micrometeorite impacts whose energy could induce modal response of the flexible structure and imply a dynamic response of the spacecraft which could probably be disturbing for the instrument functioning. The impact environment that could be encountered by the spacecraft is preliminary studied before the definition of test to recreate the excitation with light-gas gun. Experiments are made on samples of structure representative of the ongoing Gaia astrometric mission project. Response of the structure is recorded to be correlated to finite elements model of the sample. The excitation is then extrapolated to orbital conditions and to Gaia finite elements model. The final perturbation is compared to the specification. The main conclusion is that for daily impact event, dynamic response of the structure will not disturb Gaia functioning. Nevertheless, for a yearly impact event, the astrometric mission will largely be disturbed by the dynamic response of the structure to the impact.

KurzfassungSimulation of structures made from thermoplastic materials under crash loads including large deformations and failure is still a challenge for most existing numerical tools. To model the complex mechanical behaviour of thermoplastic materials new models have been developed. To reproduce the mechanical behaviour in the simulation, model parameters for each material have to be identified by experimental testing.

An excitation function for hypervelocity impact-induced wave propagation in satellite structures
2006 57th International Astronautical Congress, IAC 2006, Curran, Red Hook, NY, Seiten: 3838 - 3846
KurzfassungAn empirical excitation function which defines the elastic excitation of a satellite wall-representative Aluminum plate from impact of a projectile at hypervelocity is derived empirically from experimentally validated hydrocode simulations. The resulting function is intended for application in a structural finite element model code to assess the perturbation effects of small micrometeoroid and space debris impacts on highly stiffened satellite structures. This will enable the risk that these impacts pose on a future generation of ESA scientific satellite missions employing ultra-sensitive equipment to be quantified. The excitation function has been empirically derived from simulated velocity measurements made at various offsets from the impact location. The measured velocity waveforms have been simplified in terms of its frequency content in mind of its end-point application in structural codes, and this simplified velocity waveform has been extrapolated to the impact o rigin. The resulting empirical function is polynomial-exponential decay in form, and defines a point-source velocity-time input for structural codes.

Failure mechanisms in layered composite materials for compressed hydrogen tanks
2004 FISITA World Automotive Congress 2004. Conference proceedings. CD-ROM, International Federation of Automobile Techniques Engineers -FISITA-, Barcelona
KurzfassungStorage systems for compressed hydrogen used in automotive applications are internally sealed by a diffusion barrier made of polyethylene or aluminium reinforced by a layer of several millimetres thick carbon fiber composite. A layer of impact resistant glass fiber covers the pressure vessel against external impact damage on the carbon shell. For safety reasons tank systems are qualified by several standardized tests. The main reason for these tests is to ensure that nocatas trophic failure of the tank could occur. Investigation on catastrophic failure of high performance composite materials was undertaken by testing and numerical simulation. Here the influence of preload during penetration of the laminate was investigated. A report of the current research is given.

Adaptive FE-Meshfree-Modelling for Impacts of Liquid Filled Vessels on Thin Walled Structures
2003 Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Technology, Seiten: 43 - 48
KurzfassungA principal approach to simulate the airplane impact and the collapse of World Trade Center North Tower has been shown by Quan and Birnbaum [4]. Using the general purpose hydrocode AUTODYN the impact damage, fire induced strength reduction and progressive collapse were investigated. Both for the fuel propagation after tank break up and the thermodynamic burn processes assumptions have been taken. It is the aim of this paper to focus on the numerical aspects of simulating the fluid propagation after vessel break up. The release of a fluid out of a broken vessel after impact is not easily represented in a numerical simulation as the fluid flow and its interaction with structures can not be modelled using Lagrangian type element formulations. These elements, typically applied for structural analyses, fail under massive deformation and usually need then to be taken out of the simulation. Typical fluid dynamic discretization methods, so called Eulerian grids, would have to cover the whole space potentially being reached by the fluid flow and are therefore inefficient in a large three dimensional simulation. As an alternative method a coupled discretization using Lagrange elements and Lagrange type meshfree methods is proposed here. Meshfree methods have been introduced to structural dynamics more then ten years ago specifically to simulate processes including large deformation [1]. Originally developed as pure meshfree code, the EMI SOPHIA [3] provides now a new form of adaptivity that allows for more efficiency and accuracy. This is achieved by the use of finite elements as long as deformation is capable for the elements. At definable strain or failure thresholds any element can be transformed into one or more meshfree particles. This way, mass and volume of the original elements are conserved. As the particles interact with each other as well as with the remaining elements, all physical processes can be modelled continuously. The purpose of this study was to contribute to numerical simulation of the airplane impacts into the World Trade Center. It includes impact simulations of cylindrical vessels filled with water against thin walled rectangular shaped bars. It shows that coupled discretizations and specifically an adaptive FE-meshfree discretization offer the flexibility needed to gain both accuracy and efficiency in the simulation.
