Appell der Dinge. Künstlerische Zuwendung zu den Dingen in den 1960er-Jahren
No full textDiese Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit Kunstwerken, die das alltägliche Ding in den Blick nehmen. Nährboden dieser Kunstform sind die soziokulturellen Entwicklungen des 20. Jahrhunderts, mit denen wesentliche Veränderungen hinsichtlich des Verhältnisses von Mensch und Ding einhergingen.
Daraus resultierte eine allgemeine künstlerische Zuwendung zu den Dingen und eine einzigartige Kulmination aus verschiedenartigen Auseinandersetzungen mit ihnen als kunstfähige Gegenstände, über die sich die neue Dingwelt erschlossen wurde und deren Kunstwerke einen Spiegel dieser Entwicklungen darstellen.
Die Dissertation stellt ebenfalls die Dinge selbst in den Fokus. Vier Aspekte von Dingen (Materialität, Funktionalität, Repräsentationalität und Relationalität) werden gesondert ins Auge gefasst und in den theoretischen Diskurs des 20. Jahrhunderts eingeordnet, um sie als Teil der gelebten Realität besser zu verstehen, von der sich der ästhetische Blick nicht trennen lässt. Anhand der künstlerischen Positionen von Robert Rauschenberg, Christo und Jeanne-Claude, Daniel Spoerri und Arman sowie Claes Oldenburg werden die verschiedenen Aspekte der Dinge näher betrachtet und analysiert, wie diese speziell in den Kunstwerken thematisiert werden und welche Relevanz sie für deren Rezeptionserfahrung haben.
Die Korrelation dieser beiden Ebenen - die Dinge als konstitutiver Bestandteil im sozialen Raum und die Dinge als Elemente in Kunstwerken -, die im Fokus der vorliegenden Untersuchung steht, ermöglicht es, die künstlerische Zuwendung zu den Dingen in den 1960er-Jahren neu einzuordnen. Darüber hinaus wird dadurch ein differenziertes Bild von der Kunst dieser Zeit sowie den Dingen in der Kunst im Allgemeinen gezeichnet.This dissertation deals with works of art that focus on everyday things. The basis for this art form are the sociocultural developments of the 20th century, which have brought major changes in the relationship between people and things.
This resulted in a general artistic devotion to things and a unique culmination of different confrontations with them as artful objects, through which the new world of things was opened up and whose works of art reflect these developments.
Therefor the dissertation focuses on things themselves. Four aspects of things (materiality, functionality, representationality and
Relationality) are considered separately and classified within the theoretical discourse of the 20th century in order to understand them as part of the everyday reality, from which the aesthetic view cannot be separated. Based on the artistic positions of Robert Rauschenberg, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Daniel Spoerri and Arman as well as Claes Oldenburg the different aspects of things are examined and it is analyzed, how they are specifically highlighted in the artworks and how they become relevant for the art works reception experience.
The correlation of these two levels - things as a constitutive component in social space and things as elements in works of art - makes it possible to classify this artistic devotion to things in the 1960s.
It also creates a differentiated picture of the art of the time and of things in art in general

Luft sehen, sprechen, schützen. Das Anthropozän der (post-)politischen Stadt
No full textDer Beitrag verbindet die Diskussion um die postpolitische Stadt mit der zunehmenden wissenschaftlichen und aktivistischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Anthropozän, ein Konzept, das die ökologischen und sozialpolitischen Implikationen menschlichen Handelns auf die Erdoberfläche beschreibt. Anhand von drei ausgewählten Fallstudien erkunden wir,
wie die spezifisch anthropogene, also menschengemachte, Krise urbaner Luftverschmutzung in künstlerischen Positionen problematisiert wird. Im Kontext des potenziellen Vormarschs von Postpolitik besprechen wir, wie der ambivalente Diskurs des Anthropozäns einerseits Depolitisierung begünstigt und andererseits neue Möglichkeiten für die Repolitisierung
globaler Umweltherausforderungen ermöglicht
Wohnen in der Klimakrise. Die Wohnungsfrage als ökologische Frage: Aufruf zur Debatte
No full textDie Verbindung der sozialen und der ökologischen Frage ist eine der zentralen Herausforderungen linker Politik und kritisch-engagierter Wissenschaft heute. Dafür, wie wenig das bisher gelingt, sind die öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Diskussionen um die Wohnungsfrage gute Beispiele. Dieser Aufruf ist eine Einladung an den kollektiven Wissensschatz aus Wissenschaft und Aktivismus, die unterschiedlichen Aspekte der ökologischen Wohnungsfrage, die bisher stark fragmentiert behandelt werden, in einzelnen Beiträgen weiter auszuführen und auf ihren strukturellen Zusammenhang mit der sozialen Wohnungsfrage hin zu beleuchten
Machine Learning for Modeling the Singular Multi-Pantograph Equations
No full textIn this study, a new approach to basis of intelligent systems and machine learning algorithms is introduced for solving singular multi-pantograph differential equations (SMDEs). For the first time, a type-2 fuzzy logic based approach is formulated to find an approximated solution. The rules of the suggested type-2 fuzzy logic system (T2-FLS) are optimized by the square root cubature Kalman filter (SCKF) such that the proposed fineness function to be minimized. Furthermore, the stability and boundedness of the estimation error is proved by novel approach on basis of Lyapunov theorem. The accuracy and robustness of the suggested algorithm is verified by several statistical examinations. It is shown that the suggested method results in an accurate solution with rapid convergence and a lower computational cost
Predictive Modeling the Free Hydraulic Jumps Pressure through Advanced Statistical Methods
Get PDFPressure fluctuations beneath hydraulic jumps potentially endanger the stability of stilling basins. This paper deals with the mathematical modeling of the results of laboratory-scale experiments to estimate the extreme pressures. Experiments were carried out on a smooth stilling basin underneath free hydraulic jumps downstream of an Ogee spillway. From the probability distribution of measured instantaneous pressures, pressures with different probabilities could be determined. It was verified that maximum pressure fluctuations, and the negative pressures, are located at the positions near the spillway toe. Also, minimum pressure fluctuations are located at the downstream of hydraulic jumps. It was possible to assess the cumulative curves of pressure data related to the characteristic points along the basin, and different Froude numbers. To benchmark the results, the dimensionless forms of statistical parameters include mean pressures (P*m), the standard deviations of pressure fluctuations (σ*X), pressures with different non-exceedance probabilities (P*k%), and the statistical coefficient of the probability distribution (Nk%) were assessed. It was found that an existing method can be used to interpret the present data, and pressure distribution in similar conditions, by using a new second-order fractional relationships for σ*X, and Nk%. The values of the Nk% coefficient indicated a single mean value for each probability
Messung und Simulation der Erwärmung von ermüdungsbeanspruchten Betonprobekörpern
Get PDFIm vorliegenden Beitrag werden Messungen und Berechnungen vorgestellt, die die Temperaturentwicklung in Betonzylindern aufgrund zyklischer Beanspruchung genau beschreiben. Die Messungen wurden in einem Versuchsstand, die Berechnungen im FEM-Programm ANSYS durchgeführt. Mit Hilfe der Temperaturmessungen konnten die Simulationen für die Temperaturentwicklung der Betonzylinder mit der verwendeten Betonrezeptur validiert werden. Die Untersuchungen lassen den Schluss zu, dass bei zyklischer Probekörperbelastung und der einhergehenden Probekörperdehnung Energie dissipiert wird und diese maßgeblich für die Erwärmung der Probe verantwortlich ist.This paper presents measurements and simulations that describe the temperature development in concrete cylinders due to cyclic loading. The measurements were carried out in a test stand, the simulations in the FEM program ANSYS. The simulations of the temperature development in the concrete cylinders with the used concrete recipe were validated using the temperature measurements. The investigations lead to the conclusion that energy is dissipated during cyclic test specimen loading and the accompanying test specimen elongation and that this is mainly responsible for the heating of the specimen
Combined approach for optimal sensor placement and experimental verification in the context of tower-like structures
No full textWhen it comes to monitoring of huge structures, main issues are limited time, high costs and how to deal with the big amount of data. In order to reduce and manage them, respectively, methods from the field of optimal design of experiments are useful and supportive. Having optimal experimental designs at hand before conducting any measurements is leading to a highly informative measurement concept, where the sensor positions are optimized according to minimal errors in the structures’ models. For the reduction of computational time a combined approach using Fisher Information Matrix and mean-squared error in a two-step procedure is proposed under the consideration of different error types. The error descriptions contain random/aleatoric and systematic/epistemic portions. Applying this combined approach on a finite element model using artificial acceleration time measurement data with artificially added errors leads to the optimized sensor positions. These findings are compared to results from laboratory experiments on the modeled structure, which is a tower-like structure represented by a hollow pipe as the cantilever beam. Conclusively, the combined approach is leading to a sound experimental design that leads to a good estimate of the structure’s behavior and model parameters without the need of preliminary measurements for model updating
Effects of Bio-Based Plasticizers, Made From Starch, on the Properties of Fresh and Hardened Metakaolin-Geopolymer Mortar: Basic Investigations
No full textConventional superplasticizers based on polycarboxylate ether (PCE) show an intolerance to clay minerals due to intercalation of their polyethylene glycol (PEG) side chains into the interlayers of the clay mineral. An intolerance to very basic media is also known. This makes PCE an unsuitable choice as a superplasticizer for geopolymers. Bio-based superplasticizers derived from starch showed comparable effects to PCE in a cementitious system. The aim of the present study was to determine if starch superplasticizers (SSPs) could be a suitable additive for geopolymers by carrying out basic investigations with respect to slump, hardening, compressive and flexural strength, shrinkage, and porosity. Four SSPs were synthesized, differing in charge polarity and specific charge density. Two conventional PCE superplasticizers, differing in terms of molecular structure, were also included in this study. The results revealed that SSPs improved the slump of a metakaolin-based geopolymer (MK-geopolymer) mortar while the PCE investigated showed no improvement. The impact of superplasticizers on early hardening (up to 72 h) was negligible. Less linear shrinkage over the course of 56 days was seen for all samples in comparison with the reference. Compressive strengths of SSP specimens tested after 7 and 28 days of curing were comparable to the reference, while PCE led to a decline. The SSPs had a small impact on porosity with a shift to the formation of more gel pores while PCE caused an increase in porosity. Throughout this research, SSPs were identified as promising superplasticizers for MK-geopolymer mortar and concrete
Discrete Hardy Spaces for Bounded Domains in Rn
No full textDiscrete function theory in higher-dimensional setting has been in active development since many years. However, available results focus on studying discrete setting for such canonical domains as half-space, while the case of bounded domains generally remained unconsidered. Therefore, this paper presents the extension of the higher-dimensional function theory to the case of arbitrary bounded domains in Rn. On this way, discrete Stokes’ formula, discrete Borel–Pompeiu formula, as well as discrete Hardy spaces for general bounded domains are constructed. Finally, several discrete Hilbert problems are considered
