Conductive silicone rubber has great advantages for strain sensing applications. The electrical behavior of the elastomeric material is rate-dependent and exhibit hysteresis upon cyclic loading. Several constitutive models were developed for mechanical simulation of this material upon loading and unloading. One of the successful approaches to model the time-dependent behavior of elastomers is B...

This talk is in two parts both entitled mass production requires precision engineering. The first is about the dynamical generation of mass for matter particles in gauge theories. I will explain how the details of this depend on a precision knowledge of the interactions. The second is about tests of the mechanism of chiral symmetry breaking in QCD that the precision engineering of high luminosi...

Digital production engineering is a complex procedure, since distributed engineering teams, using heterogeneous IT tools, should be able to collaborate in order to design and implement a production system. This work presents the concept and its implementation of a workflow system for collaborative computer-aided production engineering. The workflow system supports the execution of production en...
