Among these is the adaptation of the system behavior to the current situation. To do so, they are able to choose from different working points, which are pre-calculated using multiobjective optimization and are thus Pareto-optimal with regard to the chosen objective functions. In this contribution, a method is presented that allows to continuously control the system degradation by adapting the behavior of a selfoptimizing system throughout its complete lifetime. The current remaining useful lifetime is estimated and then related to the spent lifetime and the desired useful lifetime. Using this information, a reliability-related objective is prioritized using a closed-loop control, which in turn is used to determine the working point of the self-optimizing system. This way, the desired useful lifetime can be achieved. To exemplify the setup of the controller structure and to demonstrate the adaptation of the system behavior, a dynamic model of a clutch system is used. It can be seen that the closed loop controller is able to correct for external perturbations, such as changed requirements, as well as changed system parameters. This way, the modeled system is able to achieve the desired lifetime reliably.}},

  abstract     = {{A piezoelectric energy harvester is an electromechanical device that converts ambient mechanical vibration into electric power. Most existing vibration energy harvesting devices operate effectively at a single frequency only, dictated by the design of the device. This frequency must match the frequency of the host structure vibration. However, real world structural vibrations rarely have a specific constant frequency. Therefore, piezoelectric harvesters that generate usable power across a range of exciting frequencies are required to make this technology commercially viable. Currently known harvester tuning techniques have many limitations, in particular they miss the ability to work during harvester operation and most often cannot perform a precise tuning. This paper describes the design and testing of a vibration energy harvester with tunable resonance frequency, wherein the tuning is accomplished by changing the attraction force between two permanent magnets by adjusting the distance between the magnets. This tuning technique allows the natural frequency to be manipulated before and during operation of the harvester. Furthermore the paper presents a physical description of the frequency tuning effect. The experimental results achieved with a piezoelectric bimorph fit the calculated results very well. The calculation and experimental results show that using this tuning technique the natural frequency of the harvester can be varied efficiently within a wide range: in the test setup, the natural frequency of the piezoelectric bimorph could be increased by more than 70\%.}},

A better understanding of the influence of material properties and geometrical design on the performance of these structures helps to develop piezoelectric structures specifically designed for their application. Different equivalent circuits have been introduced in the literature to investigate the behaviour of piezoelectric transducers. The model parameters are usually determined from measurements covering the characteristic frequencies of the piezoelectric transducer. This article introduces an analytical technique for calculating the mechanical and electrical equivalent system parameters and characteristic frequencies based on material properties and geometry for a cantilever bimorph structure. The model is validated by measurements using a cantilever bimorph and fits the experimental results better than previous models. The model gives a full set of piezoelectric transducer parameters and is therefore well suited for further theoretical investigations of piezoelectric transducers for different applications. The results also show that even small manufacturing tolerances have a considerable effect on the system parameters and characteristic frequencies. This might lead to intolerable deviations, especially in dynamic applications and should be avoided by careful design and production.}},

To detect such changes during operation, process monitoring is desired. Labor intensive processes, that might be carried out for several hours, also require process monitoring to increase their reliability by detection of changes or malfunctions during operation. In some applications cavitation detection and monitoring can be achieved by the application of sensors in the sound field. Though the application of sensors is possible, this necessitates modifications on the system and the sensor might disturb the sound field. In other applications harsh, process conditions prohibit the application of sensors in the sound field. Therefore alternative techniques for cavitation detection and monitoring are desired.

  abstract     = {{The rapid development of communication and information technology opens up fascinating perspectives, which go far beyond the state of the art in mechatronics: mechatronic systems with inherent partial intelligence. These so called self-optimizing systems adapt their objectives and behavior autonomously and flexibly to changing operating conditions. On the one hand, securing the dependability of such systems is challenging due to their complexity and non-deterministic behavior. On the other hand, self-optimization can be used to increase the dependability of the system during its operation. However, it has to be ensured, that the self-optimization works dependable itself. To cope with these challenges, the multi-level dependability concept was developed. It enables predictive condition monitoring, influences the objectives of the system and determines suitable means to improve the system's dependability during its operation. In this contribution we introduce a procedure for the conceptual design of an advanced condition monitoring based on the system's principle solution. The principle solution describes the principal operation mode of the system and its desired behavior. It is modeled using the specification technique for the domain-spanning description of the principle solution of a self-optimizing system and consists of a coherent system of eight partial models (e.g. requirements, active structure, system of objectives, behavior, etc.). The partial models are analyzed separately in order to derive the components of the multi-level dependability concept. In particular, the reliability analysis of the partial model active structure is performed to identify the system elements to be monitored and parameters to be measured. The principle solution is extended accordingly: e.g. with system elements required for the realization of the dependability concept. The advantages of the method are shown on the self-optimizing guidance module of a railroad vehicle.}},

While these steps normally involve stiction and sliding, the motors can also operate in ``slip-slip'' mode without any phase of static friction. In this contribution, a one degree of freedom model of an inertia motor driven by an ideal actuator is analysed. Start-up and constant velocity operation of the motor are investigated and appropriate quantities to compare ``stick-slip'' and ``slip-slip'' operation are determined. Different aspects such as velocity, uniformity of motion, load capacity, robustness, efficiency, and wear are considered. The analysis allows both modes to be applied advantageously in different applications and can widen the field of application of piezoelectric inertia motors. Motor designers are enabled to choose the appropriate mode of operation and the best drive parameters for their individual applications.}},

  abstract     = {{A profound description of friction in wheel--rail contact plays an essential role for optimization of traction control strategies, as input quantity for railway simulations in general and for the estimation of wear and rolling contact fatigue. A multitude of wheel--rail contact models exists, however, traction--creepage curves obtained from measurements show quantitative and qualitative deviations. There are several phenomena which influence the traction--creepage characteristics: Mechanisms resulting from surface roughness, frictional heating or the presence of interfacial fluids can have a dominating influence on friction. In this paper, a new wheel--rail contact model, accounting for these influential parameters, will be presented. The presented model accounts for the interaction of an interfacial fluid model for combined boundary and mixed lubrication of rough surfaces with a wheel--rail contact model that additionally accounts for frictional heating. A quantitative comparison with measurements found in the literature is not conducted, since the exact conditions of the measurements are mostly unknown and parameters can easily be adjusted to fit the measurements. Emphasis is placed on the qualitative behavior of the model with respect to the measurements and good agreement is found. The dependence of the maximum traction coefficient on rolling velocity, surface roughness and normal load is studied under dry and water lubricated conditions.}},

Factors benefiting from vibration reduction are for example the durability of the application, which is increased, as well as cost expenses and the level of noise, which are both decreased. Rough, bolted interfaces are common in most machines and can be used as damping devices with some effort. Perhaps in future such contact surfaces could be used as damping devices at the interfaces of an automotive engine or exhaust system. Nevertheless it is difficult to predict the effect of a change in contact interface parameters on the dynamic behavior of the entire mechanical system. Therefore a method for calculating the steady state behavior of elastic multi-body systems was developed. The basis of this method is a finite element model of each contacting unit. On each model a modal reduction is applied in order to reduce the degrees of freedom. The method of Ritz and Galerkin is used to calculate the frequency response functions of the reduced system including contact. This method allows the calculation of the steady-state behavior of elastic multi-body systems with rough, bolted contact interfaces, by taking the pre-stress of the bolts, the roughness and the friction coefficient of the contacting surfaces as parameters. In order to verify calculated results, a test stand was built. The comparison of calculated and experimental results showed a satisfying correlation.}},
