Baseado na aproximação hiperbólica dos tempos de trânsito dependente de três parâmetros ou atributos cinemáticos de frentes de onda, recentemente, vem desenvolvendo-se um novo método para simular seções (AN) chamado método de empilhamento sísmico por Superfície de Reflexão Comum (ou empilhamento SRC). Também, seguindo este novo conceito de imageamento sísmico está surgindo um método para simular seções com afastamento comum (AC) a partir de dados de cobertura múltipla usando aproximações dos tempos de trânsito paraxiais na vizinhança de um raio central com afastamento finito. Esta nova aproximação dos tempos de trânsito depende de cinco atributos cinemáticos. Neste trabalho, a partir da aproximação dos tempos de trânsito paraxiais em relação a um raio central com afastamento finito, derivamos uma nova equação do tempo de trânsito usando a condição de um ponto difrator em profundidade, reduzindo a equação original para quatro parâmetros. Para ambas aproximações (reflexão e difração), mostramos a superfície de empilhamento SRC com afastamento finito (SRC-AF). Considerando um modelo sintético, realizamos um estudo comparativo das aproximações dos tempos de trânsito para as quatro configurações sísmicas (fonte comum (FC), receptor comum (RC), ponto-médio-comum (PMC) e afastamento comum (AC)). Para analisar o comportamento do operador SRC-AF, quando este é perturbado, discutimos sua sensibilidade em relação a cada um dos cinco parâmetros (K<sub>1</sub>, K<sub>2</sub>, K<sub>3</sub>, β<sub>S</sub> e β<sub>G</sub>). Esta análise de sensibilidade é realizada em duas formas: Sensibilidade através da primeira derivada e Sensibilidade no Empilhamento SRC-AF. Após realizar a análise de sensibilidade utilizamos uma nova condição, K<sub>2</sub> = 0 e assim, obtemos uma nova aproximação, agora dependente de três parâmetros. Usando essas aproximações hiperbólicas (em função de cinco, quatro e três parâmetros), propomos um algoritmo para a simulação de seções AC a partir de dados de cobertura múltipla. Finalmente, é apresentado um estudo da zona de Fresnel, com o objetivo de determinar a delimitação da abertura da superfície de empilhamento SRC-AF. / The simulation of a zero-offset seismic (ZO) section from multicoverage, through of stack, is a very used method of seismic reflection imaging, that reduce the amount of data and is aimed to improve the signal/noise ratio. Based on hyperbolic traveltime approximation depending on three kinematic attributes, recently, it was developed a new method to simulate zero-offset (ZO) sections called common reflection surface stack (CRS) method. Also, following this new concept of seismic imaging it was introduzed a method to simulate common-offset (CO) sections from multicoverage data by using a paraxial traveltime approximation for paraxial rays in the vicinity of the finite-offset centra ray. This new traveltime approximation depend on five kinematic attributes. In this work, from the hyperbolic paraxial traveltime approximation with finite-offset central ray, we derive a new formula of traveltime approximation by using the diffraction point condition, reducing the original formula to four parameters. For both approximations, that´s for reflection and diffractions, we show the finite-offset FO-CRS stack operators. We, also obtain these formulas to the four seismic configurations (common-shot (CS), common-receiver (CR), common-midpoint (CMP) and common-offset (CO)). To analise behaviour FO-CRS stack, when this is perturbed, we debatable the sensibility with respect to each one the five parameters (K<sub>1</sub>, K<sub>2</sub>, K<sub>3</sub>, β<sub>S</sub> and β<sub>G</sub>). This sensibility analysis was perfomed in two ways: Sensibility through the disturbance of each parameter visualized in the stacking surfaces FO-CRS- and FO-CDS, and the first derivative of the traveltimes FO-CRS and FO-CDS. After realize the sensibility analysis, we utility a new condition, K<sub>2</sub> = 0 and therefore, we obtained a new approximation, now depend on three parameters. Using that hyperbolic traveltime approximations (in function of five, four and three parameters), we propose an algorithm multicoverage seismic reflection data. Finally, is presented a studed of Fresnel zone, to delimit the aperture of FO-CRS stacking surface.

彈性製造系統加工機排程序法則與自動搬運車分派法則最適組合之研究

林志德, LIN, ZHI-DE Unknown Date (has links)
一、研究目的:彈性製造系統(FMS)是近年來相當受到重視的生產系統,但如欲 使其發揮有效的生產功能,必須配合靈活的控制決策,其中,加工機排程決策與物料 搬運系統的控制決策扮演了重要的角色。本文以這兩項決策為討論的重點,希望達成 下列的目的:1)探討影響FMS績效的重要變數有那些;2)探討加工機排程法則 與自動搬運車(AGV)分派法則間的交互關係;3)在考慮系統狀況及目標數值之 下,決定加工機排程法則與AGV分派法則的最適組合。 二、文獻:根據近年來國內外相關文獻顯示,對於加工機排程法則與物料搬運系統之 研究,多數採取獨立探討的觀點,不考慮二者之間的交互關係;然而實務上,此二者 的決策間具有相當密切的關係。此外,在以往的研究中,系統績效的評估多以流程時 間(FLOW TIME )為主,但依據美國學術界在1986年所作實際調查結果,業者最 關心的卻為工件之準時交貨。 三、研究方法:本文建立一個一般化的FMS模式,並採取非連續事件模擬方法來模 據系統的運作情形,藉以比較出不同決策法則所達成的系統績效。此外,並以相關分 析法求取系統績效與若干系統變數間的相關係數,藉以探討系統績效與系統變數間的 交互關係。 四、研究結果:1)影響FMS系統績效的主要變數大致分為五類--AGV系統變 數、彈性加工中心(PMC)系統變數、工件加工條件、產品需求狀況及其他影響因 素;2)經由模據分析發現:a)在一定工件抵達頻率下,以明顯延誤成本(ATC )排程法則有最佳的績效表現;b)工件抵達頻率不同,則加工機排程法則與AGV 分派法則的最適組合也隨之不同。

Etat régalien et externalisation : l’exemple du Ministère de la défense / Outsourcing in State’s public sector : the Ministry of defense’s example

Frot, Olivier 14 September 2012 (has links)
Peut-on confier au secteur privé des activités relevant du coeur del’Etat, autrement dit « régaliennes » ? Le ministère de la défense,ainsi que ceux de la justice et de l’intérieur, pratiquent déjàl’externalisation de certaines fonctions auparavant dévolues à desfonctionnaires ou des militaires. Or, la défense nationale est un« service public constitutionnel », et de ce fait ne peut être déléguée àune personne privée. Toutefois, le Conseil Constitutionnel a autoriséd’en concéder, par contrat, des fonctions « détachables ». Cecontexte implique de déterminer le périmètre externalisable, end’autres termes le « coeur de métier régalien », qui n’est définidans aucun texte législatif ou réglementaire. En dehors de certainscas particuliers jugés, la décision reste à l’appréciation du ministre,dans le cadre de l’objectif recherché : économies budgétaires,meilleure efficacité de l’outil. Ce processus d’externalisationprocède d’une vision nouvelle de l’action de l’Etat, qui conserve lacapacité de décision dans ses domaines régaliens mais peut enconfier la mise en oeuvre à des opérateurs privés, procédant d’unevision libérale de l’action de l’Etat.Après avoir étudié les fondements de la politique d’externalisation(Partie I), en abordant en premier lieu le besoin et le contexte(Titre I), puis la détermination du périmètre externalisable (TitreII) et ses possibilités d’extension (Titre III), nous aborderons lapréparation et la conduite de l’externalisation (Partie II), quiconcerne avant tout la préparation matérielle de l’externalisation(Titre I), puis la conduite du projet d’externalisation (Titre II), enabordant le volet social de la démarche (Titre III). / How can private sector manage activitiesusually recognized as part of the State’s heart, in other words3“kingly”? The Ministry of defense, as well as the Ministries forJustice and of Interior, already outsources several functions,previously dedicated to Civil servants or militaries. Nevertheless,national defense is a constitutional public service, which shouldnot be delegated to any private person. However, theConstitutional Supreme Court admitted to delegate, by contract,“detachable” functions. Thus, the “outsourcable” perimeter, the“kingly core business” should be determined, as no legaldocument defines it. Except some already judged specific cases,the minister is liable to decide alone, thanks to his objectives:budget sparing, better efficiency. The outsourcing process showsout a new vision of State’s action, which keeps decision capacitybut may delegate action to private operators, in a liberal point ofview of the State’s public activities.After having studied the outsourcing policy’s foundation (part I),we’ll first examine the requirement and the context (title I), thenthe outsourcable perimeter’s determination (title II) and itsextension possibilities (title III), we’ll then take care ofoutsourcing’s preparation and conduct (part II), which firstconcerns physical preparation (title I), then outsourcing project’sconduct (title II), approaching the process’ social part (title III).

Utgör Privata Militära Företag en tillgång eller ett hot mot den svenska Försvarsmakten gällande återrekrytering med soldaterna ur FS21 i huvudfokus? / Does Private Military Companies represent a threat or an asset to the Swedish Armed Forces regarding re-recruitment with the focus on the soldiers of FS21?

Pärnering, Mikael January 2011 (has links)
Subject: Independent essay in War Science (15 points) which debate the question if PrivateMilitary Companies is an asset or a threat to the Swedish Armed Forces regarding rerecruitmentwith focus on the soldiers of FS21.That which is investigated is the general attitude amongst soldiers who have completed theirconscript duty according to the old conscript system and now is employed in order to conducta tour abroad with Afghanistan as area of operations. Further investigated is their attitudeagainst the Swedish Armed Forces as an employer, as well as the private sector whichwant/could benefit from the skills the soldiers is possessing. Could the soldiers se themselvesleave the Armed Forces before the contract has expired in benefit of private companies whichclaim they solve similar tasks. Purpose: The purpose with this essay is to contribute with knowledge about a number ofemployed soldiers’ attitude against Private Military Companies. Further; if the soldiersbelieve the Armed Forces provide them as they think they deserve/ want in order to stay andnot leave their job in favour of PMC:s, and through it clarify what the soldiers value asemployees. Order of Approach, Method and Material: The method I’m using is a survey in whichsoldiers and squad leaders have answered the questions. The soldiers and squad leaders isfurther referred to as “the soldiers”. These soldiers were consisting of 59 males and femaleswhich were in the final stage of the preparation for their Afghanistan tour. The name of thetour is FS21. Result: According to the survey a great number of respondent soldiers claimed they wouldleave the Swedish Armed Forces in order to be employed in a PMC if the salary would proveto be better. The things that were most important to the soldiers were the colleagues and a funjob as well as the closest in command. After that the salary was vital. At the bottom,according to the soldiers, was an ethical and fair job which would be highly valued in the eyesof the public. According to the statements made by the soldiers the main reasons to stay in theArmed Forces was the group cohesion, the fellowship, the friends and the closet in command.It’s not about the Armed Forces as a department or an employer, it’s the colleagues. Conclusion: This doesn’t collide with van Doorns theory1, it merely enhance the statementwhich van Doorn expresses; that the abandonment of the conscript system will force the statemanagement out on the labour market embossed by a harsh competition of the working force.In lack of possibility to measure up with the civil salary capacity the consequence could fairlybe that the troops are recruited from marginalized groups, which threatens the Armed Forcescapacity. This could also mean that the Armed Forces train and educate individuals frommarginalized groups, as well as the ordinary male or female, and of a sudden they are mostattractive at the civil sector which appreciate military skills and knowledge and se it assomething they could benefit from.This request that the Swedish Armed Forces have an ambition to keep the soldiers it educate,a more active work in keeping the soldiers in the own organisation – merely by meeting theneeds of the soldiers. It is a constant necessitate re-recruiting every day, not when thecontracts reaches its due date. / Ämne: Självständigt arbete i Krigsvetenskap (15HP) som behandlar frågan huruvida PrivataMilitära Företag är en tillgång eller ett hot mot den svenska Försvarsmakten gällandeåterrekrytering med soldaterna ur FS21 i huvudfokus. Med återrekrytering menas förnyelse avkontrakt som löper mot sitt slut.Det som undersöks är bland annat den generella inställningen hos soldater som har gjortmilitärtjänst enligt det gamla värnpliktssystemet och nu är anställda med målsättning attgenomföra utlandsmission med Afghanistan som operationsområde. Vidare undersöks derasinställning till Försvarsmaktens personalpolitik samt deras inställning till den privata sektornsom vill/kan dra nytta av kompetensen som soldaterna besitter. Skulle dessa soldater kunnatänka sig att lämna Försvarsmakten till förmån för privata företag som säger sig kunna lösaliknande uppgifter, och detta innan kontraktet med Försvarsmakten löpt ut? Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att bidra med kunskap om inställningen hos anställdasoldater ur FS21. Hur är deras inställning till Privata Militära Företag? Vidare att undersökaom Försvarsmakten, enligt dessa soldater, erbjuder dem det som önskas/anses skäligt för attinte lämna sin anställning till förmån för PMF och därigenom klargöra vad det är soldaternavärderar som anställd. Genomförande, Metod, Material: Metoden jag nyttjat mig av är en respondentundersökninggenom en enkät. Enkätundersökningen har genomförts där soldater och gruppchefer har svaratpå frågorna. Soldaterna och gruppcheferna benämns genom uppsatsen som enbart”soldaterna”. Dessa soldater utgjordes av 59 män och kvinnor som då var i slutskedet på sinutbildning och i sina förberedelser för utlandsmission till Afghanistan. Missionens benämningär FS21. Resultat: Genom enkätundersökningen påpekade väldigt många av de tillfrågade soldaternaatt de skulle lämna Försvarsmakten för att istället ta anställning inom ett PMF om lönenvisade sig vara bättre. Det som var viktigast för soldaterna var arbetskamrater och ett roligtjobb samt den närmaste chefen. Därefter var lönen att betrakta som vital. På näst sista platshamnade enligt soldaterna ett etiskt och korrekt arbete som i allmänhetens ögon är högtvärderat. Enligt de uttalanden som soldaterna gjort i fritextsvaren så är det främstgruppsammanhållningen, samhörigheten, kamraterna och den närmsta chefen som äranledningen till att stanna. Det är inte Försvarsmakten som myndighet eller arbetsgivare i sig,utan kollegorna. Slutsatser: Detta krockar inte med van Doorns teori2, utan snarare förstärker det påståendetsom van Doorn uttrycker om att övergivandet av värnpliktssystemet medför att statsledningentvingas ut på en arbetsmarknad präglad av en hård konkurrens om arbetskraften. I brist avmöjligheter att följa de civila lönetrenderna kan följderna bli att manskapet kan komma attrekryteras ur marginaliserade grupper och därigenom äventyra försvarskraften. Det kan ävenbetyda att Försvarsmakten tränar upp och utbildar individer ur marginaliserade grupper, tillikasom gemene man och kvinna, så att dessa plötsligt blir attraktiva hos den civila sektorn somser soldaternas kunskap och militära färdigheter som något de kan dra nytta av.Det krävs av Försvarsmakten att det finns en ambition att behålla de soldater som utbildas, ettmer aktivt arbete i att behålla soldaterna i de egna leden – främst genom att möta soldaternasbehov.Det är en ständig nödvändighet att återrekrytera varje dag, inte enbart när kontrakten börjarnärma sig sina slut.

Mechanisms for Kink Band Evolution in Polymer Matrix Composites: A Digital Image Correlation and Finite Element Study

January 2016 (has links)
abstract: Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are attractive structural materials due to their high stiffness to low weight ratio. However, unidirectional PMCs have low shear strength and failure can occur along kink bands that develop on compression due to plastic microbuckling that carry strains large enough to induce nonlinear matrix deformation. Reviewing the literature, a large fraction of the existing work is for uniaxial compression, and the effects of stress gradients, such as those present during bending, have not been as well explored, and these effects are bound to make difference in terms of kink band nucleation and growth. Furthermore, reports on experimental measurements of strain fields leading to and developing inside these bands in the presence of stress gradients are also scarce and need to be addressed to gain a full understanding of their behavior when UDCs are used under bending and other spatially complex stress states. In a light to bridge the aforementioned gaps, the primary focus of this work is to understand mechanisms for kink band evolution under an influence of stress-gradients induced during bending. Digital image correlation (DIC) is used to measure strains inside and around the kink bands during 3-point bending of samples with 0°/90° stacking made of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fibers. Measurements indicate bands nucleate at the compression side and propagate into the sample carrying a mixture of large shear and normal strains (~33%), while also decreasing its bending stiffness. Failure was produced by a combination of plastic microbuckling and axial splitting. The microstructure of the kink bands was studied and used in a microstructurally explicit finite element model (FEM) to analyze stresses and strains at ply level in the samples during kink band evolution, using cohesive zone elements to represent the interfaces between plies. Cohesive element properties were deduced by a combination of delamination, fracture and three-point bending tests used to calibrate the FEMs. Modeling results show that the band morphology is sensitive to the shear and opening properties of the interfaces between the plies. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Mechanical Engineering 2016

Štěrbinová anténa / Slot antenna

Dvořák, Petr January 2014 (has links)
This thesis discusses Slot antennas that are based in gap waveguide technology, which allows them to work with high frequency signals. It contains theoretical findings about antennas and waveguides, which are later used in the design. The practical section of this thesis concentrates on designing a specific gap waveguide for 10 and 24 GHz frequencies, starting with modeling and parameter optimalization. This gap waveguide is then used as a base for slot antenna design. The final antenna is designed for frequency of 10 GHz, for both linear and right-handed circular polarizations. With right-handed circular polarization, the achieved band was approximately 1.41 GHz, while the gain was 7,6 dB.

Overt Partnership, Covert Intervention : Russian use of mercenaries in the Central African Republic

Hemche Billberg, Benjamin January 2022 (has links)
Private Military Companies (PMCs) have increased significantly since the end of the Cold War, primarily hailing from the Western countries and South Africa, and notably employed in the War on Terror. In recent years, the Russian group generically known as ‘Wagner PMC’ has been deployed in Ukraine, the Middle East and Africa. While often referred to as Russian ‘proxies’, the Wagner group has not previously been analysed through the lens of proxy theory, and academics are divided on whether PMCs may be considered proxies at all.  Russia’s intervention in the Central African Republic through Wagner provides an important case to study this new development. Employing a theoretical framework combining elements from both proxy and PMC literature, this thesis contributes to both fields by suggesting key analytical elements through which a PMC may be considered a proxy and explains how this alters the dynamics between the intervener and its proxy. Moreover, this permits a novel analysis of Russian strategies to expand its influence in Africa, suggesting that intervention through Wagner may serve as a model for interventions in other weak countries requiring security support.

An Inconvenient Coalition: Climate Change and Democratic Party Elite Discourse on Class, 1988-2008

Wheeler, Zachariah William 04 May 2022 (has links)
This dissertation uses Critical Discourse Analysis to study debates among elite members and affiliates of the Democratic Party from 1988-2008 on class issues and their relevance to the party's environmental agenda. This research builds off of several related historical and theoretical accounts (both primary and secondary) of new social and economic divisions between college-educated and non-college educated workers that have shaped American politics since the 1970s. I focus on how Democratic interest in environmentalism changed as a 'professional-managerial-class' or 'new class' supplanted unionized, industrial workers as the primary social base of the Democratic party. I trace how related people and groups associated with the party understood the relevance of these different classes to consolidating enduring electoral power, and how these informed specific arguments for what ideological views or policy proposals the party should publicly embrace. Furthermore, I identify 'green' narratives related to environmental protection, as an emerging thematic framework that some Democrats felt could help them build a coalition based primarily around support from educated, white-collar workers. I contend that the ideological character of the party's environmental rhetoric, as articulated in this debate, has been influenced mostly by attempts to tailor the party's agenda to the perceived sensibilities of the college-educated, rather than the older working-class base. My analysis proposes three overarching core concepts most often ascribed to the professional class and its members' ideological disposition. I use the discursive method described above to explore their relationship to the framing of the climate issue and its connection to broader ideological values. These are (A) Meritocracy (B) Technocratic Rationality, and (C) Individualism. I argue these professional-oriented climate narratives can be understood as adapting the conceptual reasoning of an older liberal tradition to the structural conditions of the post-70s, globalized economy. Specifically, that the frequent emphasis on these three concepts implicit to the PMC-centric discourse is consistent with a liberal view of freedom as 'non-interference', and a related hostility to democratic interventions into the market. This ideological analysis is significant to the dissertation's focus on framings of climate change because an account this conceptual logic reveals the potential limits of the Democrats' efforts to create majoritarian, political support for environmental protection. / Doctor of Philosophy / This dissertation provides an analysis of debates among elite members and affiliates of the Democratic Party from 1988-2008 on class issues and their relevance to the party's environmental agenda. This investigation is informed by existing accounts of the social and economic divisions between college-educated and non-college educated workers that have shaped American politics since the 1970s. I focus on how Democratic interest in environmentalism developed as a 'professional-managerial-class' or 'new class' supplanted unionized, industrial workers as the primary social base of the Democratic party. I trace how related people and groups associated with the party understood the relevance of these different classes to winning future elections, and how these informed specific arguments for what ideological views or policy proposals the party should publicly embrace. Furthermore, I identify 'green' narratives related to environmental protection, as an emerging thematic framework that some Democrats felt could help them build a coalition based primarily around support from educated, white-collar workers. There are two narratives about class and its relevance to the party that recur frequently in these sources. The first advocates for a coalition made up primarily by the working-class, conceived of as wage-earning, high-school educated voters working in domestically bound, blue collar industries. The second argues the party should build a coalition made up of a professional-managerial class—referred to as the "symbolic analysts", "the rising learning class", "ideapolis dwellers", or "wired workers"— conceived of as affluent, well-educated professionals working in globally integrated sectors of a high-tech "new economy". Each of these views are based on identifying specific ideological sensibilities with the respective classes, which then justify arguments for particular framings of the party's identity and policy agenda. I contend that the ideological character of the party's public philosophy, as articulated in this debate, has been influenced mostly by attempts to tailor the party's agenda (or rhetoric) to the perceived sensibilities of the college-educated, rather than the older working-class base. I show that this was motivated by a belief that a coalition built around votes from the PMC would serve as a more reliable electoral base in a political environment where it was difficult to build support through redistributive, New Deal-style policies as the party had done since the 1930s. Some members perceived the professionals' investment in a post-material "New Politics" or "progressive centrism" as an alternative. The college-educated, they argued, could be motivated to support the Democrats on cultural grounds, allowing the party to embrace more free-market policies. In addition, several figures, including Chuck Schumer, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore argued that environmentalism could or should serve as the foundation of this progressive centrist version of the party, because of green issues' supposed compatibility with a 'pro-business', market-based agenda.

Beitrag zum Thema VERBUNDWERKSTOFFE - WERKSTOFFVERBUNDE / Contribution on the topic COMPOSITE MATERIALS - MATERIAL COMPOUNDS : Status quo and research approaches

Nestler, Daisy Julia 15 April 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Vielschichtige Eigenschaftsprofile benötigen zunehmend moderne Verbundwerkstoffe und Werkstoffverbunde einschließlich der raschen Entfaltung neuer Fertigungstechnologien, da der monolithische Werkstoff bzw. ein einziger Werkstoff den heutigen komplexen Anforderungen nicht mehr genügen kann. Zukünftige Werkstoffsysteme haben wirtschaftlich eine Schlüsselposition und sind auf den Wachstumsmärkten von grundlegender Bedeutung. Gefragt sind maßgeschneiderte Leichtbauwerkstoffe (tailor-made composites) mit einem adaptierten Design. Dazu müssen Konzepte entwickelt werden, um die Kombination der Komponenten optimal zu gestalten. Das erfordert werkstoffspezifisches Wissen und Korrelationsvermögen sowie die Gestaltung komplexer Technologien, auch unter dem Aspekt der kontinuierlichen Massen- und Großserienfertigung (in-line, in-situ) und damit der Kostenreduzierung bislang teurer Verbundwerkstoffe und Werkstoffverbunde. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird in vergleichbarer und vergleichender Art und Weise sowie abstrahierter Form ein Bogen über das Gesamtgebiet der Verbundwerkstoffe und Werkstoffverbunde gespannt. Eine zusammenfassende Publikation über dieses noch sehr junge, aber bereits breit aufgestellte Wissenschaftsgebiet fehlt bislang. Das ist der Separierung der einzelnen, fest aufgeteilten Gruppierungen der Verbundwerkstoffe geschuldet. Querverbindungen werden selten hergestellt. Dieses Defizit in einem gewissen Maße auszugleichen, ist Ziel der Arbeit. Besondere Berücksichtigung finden Begriffsbestimmungen und Klassifikationen, Herstellungsverfahren und Eigenschaften der Werkstoffe. Es werden klare Strukturierungen und Übersichten herausgearbeitet. Zuordnungen von etablierten und neuen Technologien sollen zur Begriffsstabilität der Terminologien „Mischbauweise“ und „Hybrider Verbund“ beitragen. Zudem wird die Problematik „Recycling und Recyclingtechnologien“ diskutiert. Zusammenfassend werden Handlungsfelder zukünftiger Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekte spezifiziert. Aus dem Blickwinkel der verschiedenen Herstellungsrouten insbesondere für Halbzeuge und Bauteile und der dabei gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden verallgemeinerte Konzepte für tailor-made Verbundwerkstoffe und Werkstoffverbunde vorgeschlagen („Stellschraubenschema“). Diese allgemeinen Werkstoffkonzepte werden auf eigene aktuelle Forschungsprojekte der Schwerpunktthemen Metallmatrix- und Polymermatrix-Verbundwerkstoffe sowie der hybriden Werkstoffverbunde appliziert. Forschungsfelder für zukünftige Projekte werden abgeleitet. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt den hybriden Verbunden als tragende Säule zukünftiger Entwicklungen im Leichtbau. Hier spielen in-line- und in-situ-Prozesse eine entscheidende Rolle für eine großseriennahe, kosteneffiziente und ressourcenschonende Produktion. / Complex property profiles require increasingly advanced composite materials and material compounds, including the rapid deployment of new production technologies, because the monolithic material or a single material can no longer satisfy today's complex requirements. Future material systems are fundamentally important to growth markets, in which they have an economically key position. Tailor-made lightweight materials (tailor-made composites) with an adapted design are needed. These concepts have to be developed to design the optimum combination of components. This requires material-specific knowledge and the ability to make correlations, as well as the design of complex technologies. Continuous large-scale and mass production (in-line, in-situ), thus reducing the costs of previously expensive composite materials and material compounds, is also necessary. The present work spans the entire field of composite materials and material compounds in a comparable and comparative manner and abstract form. A summarizing publication on this still very new, but already broad-based scientific field is not yet available. The separation of the individual, firmly divided groups of the composite materials is the reason for this. Cross-connections are rarely made. The objective of this work is to compensate to some extent for this deficiency. Special consideration is given to definitions and classifications, manufacturing processes and the properties of the materials. Clear structures and overviews are presented. Mapping established and new technologies will contribute to the stability of the terms "mixed material compounds" and "hybrid material compounds". In addition, the problem of recycling and recycling technologies is discussed. In summary, areas for future research and development projects will be specified. Generalized concepts for tailor-made composite materials and material compounds are proposed ("adjusting screw scheme") with an eye toward various production routes, especially for semi-finished products and components, and the associated findings. These general material concepts are applied to own current research projects pertaining to metal-matrix and polymer-matrix composites and hybrid material compounds. Research fields for future projects are extrapolated. Particular attention is paid to hybrid material compounds as the mainstay of future developments in lightweight construction. In-line and in-situ processes play a key role for large-scale, cost- and resource-efficient production.
