Input modeling software tries to fit standard probability distributions to data assuming that the data are independent. However, the input environment can generate correlated data. Ignoring the correlations might lead to ...

In dieser Arbeit beschäftigen wir uns mit der Modellierung und Existenztheorie von dünnen Filmen inkompressibler, viskoser Flüssigkeiten auf evolvierenden, d.h. sich bewegenden, gekrümmten Flächen. Dünne Filme treten in ...

Bionics or biomimetics is an interdisciplinary research field, a scientific approach to applicate naturally developed biological systems, methods and solutions to the study and design of technology and engineering systems. ...

Self-similarity and repetitions are ubiquitous in man-made and natural objects. Such structural regularities often relate to form, function, aesthetics, and design considerations. Discovering structural redundancies along ...

The Volta River Basin is one of the largest river systems in Africa covering an area of approximately 400,000 km² and shared by six riparian states of West Africa. The semi-arid to sub-humid regions of the basin ...

In this thesis I present a theoretical and numerical model to simulate complex fluid-rock interactions with a poro- elasto- plastic rheology, multi- phase flow and heat transport (THM- model). Goal of this work is to improve ...

Today, ceramic materials are an essential component of batteries for electric cars. One key feature of this kind of battery is the safety of the ceramic core. Here, the precise approximation of the evolution of damage after ...

Planning, construction, modification, and analysis of buildings requires means of representing a building's physical structure and related semantics in a meaningful way. With the rise of novel technologies and increasing ...

This thesis is concerned with mechanistic pore-scale models, which relate the induced-polarization (IP) response of geologic materials to the underlying physical and chemical processes. Although a sound understanding of ...

Zentrales Thema dieser Promotion sind die Ursachen und Auswirkungen von Meeresspiegelschwankungen auf die Küste des Omans, welche auf verschiedenen Zeitskalen beleuchtet werden. Anhand der Küstenmorphologie, der Topographie ...
