[{"status":"public","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Rubber-metal bushings (RMB) are critical components in multi-body systems, such as vehicles and industrial machinery, due to their ability to enable relative motion, dampen vibrations, and transmit forces. However, their nonlinear behavior challenges accurate modeling. Traditional physics-based models often fail to balance simplicity, accuracy, and computational efficiency. The growing availability of experimental data offers opportunities to improve RMB modeling through hybrid and data-driven approaches. This study evaluates physics-based, hybrid, and data-driven methods based on predictive accuracy, modeling effort, and computational cost. Hybrid approaches, combining machine learning techniques with physics-based models, are investigated to leverage their complementary strengths. Results show that hybrid methods enhance accuracy for simpler models with a modest increase in computational time. This highlights their potential to simplify RMB modeling while balancing accuracy and efficiency, offering insights for advancing multi-body system simulations. Building on these insights, data-driven methods are explored for their ability to provide surrogate models for dynamical systems without requiring expert knowledge. Experiments reveal that while simple data-driven methods approximate system behavior when data has low variance, they fail with trajectories of widely varying frequency and amplitude."}],"publication":"Multibody System Dynamics","type":"journal_article","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"151"}],"user_id":"43991","_id":"63765","page":"1–21","citation":{"chicago":"Wohlleben, Meike Claudia, Jan Schütte, Manuel Bastian Berkemeier, Walter Sextro, and Sebastian Peitz. “Evaluating Physics-Based, Hybrid, and Data-Driven Models for Rubber-Metal Bushings.” <i>Multibody System Dynamics</i>, 2026, 1–21. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11044-026-10146-9\">https://doi.org/10.1007/s11044-026-10146-9</a>.","ieee":"M.

This is partly due to missing powerful lead-free piezoelectric ceramic parts in the commercial market. There has been much research on lead-free materials but developing them into marketable parts seems to be an ongoing process. The actual exemption of ROHS has expired, but as the new exemption has already been requested, ceramic suppliers keep on selling lead containing products. Nevertheless, these should be replaced by lead-free alternatives for environmental and health issues. \r\nThis contribution focuses on exploring the technological readiness level of lead-free hard piezoceramics for prestressed ultrasonic transducers. A small series of bolted Langevin transducers was set up with standard PZT material and three commercial lead-free variants. Results of the building process from individual ring ceramic characteristics to transducer load tests are presented. The main finding of this study is that the lead-free materials technically can compete with the standard PZT for medium-power applications. Some adaptations in the ultrasonic system must be done: the geometry must be altered to fit resonance frequency, and higher voltages or thinner ceramics are needed to achieve the same vibration level at low load. For reaching same power, the volume of lead-free ceramics must be 1.5 to 3 times larger. As already promoted in literature, mechanical losses at high vibration levels are smaller for the lead-free materials. This might help to argument lead-free piezoelectric materials in some applications.\r\n\r\nReferences\r\n1.\tDirective 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment.

At the beginning of the 1950s, the first ultrasonic cleaning devices finally came onto the market. Today, the range of applications ranges from household appliances for jewellery and eyewear cleaning to classic cleaning baths for metal parts and systems for cleaning highly sensitive electronic components. There is a certain gap in handheld, mobile cleaning equipment. Although devices for spot cleaning of textiles are known, the cleaning effect is usually low. \r\nDue to the directive 2011/65/EU on the restriction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) [1] lead should no longer be used in technical devices. As today’s standard ceramics for medium and high-power ultrasonic transducers typically contain lead, there is a need to explore the use of lead-free ceramics in this field. Honda [2] already offers a cleaning transducer based on lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, but it is designed to be used in cleaning baths.\r\nThis article presents the model-based development of a highly innovative ultrasonic cleaner. On the one hand, lead-free piezoelectric ceramics are used, and on the other hand, a special sonotrode has been developed that concentrates the sound in such a way that a strong cavitation and thus cleaning effect is achieved with comparatively low power in a short time. Coupled field finite element method was used to find an appropriate geometry for the focussing sonotrode. The comparison of simulation and measurement results shows that the lead-free piezoceramics used do their job well and can keep up with standard ceramics, but more ceramic volume is needed to achieve same power. An advanced control concept was elaborated to ensure continuous hard cavitation at varying distances between the sonotrode and the part to be cleaned. Cleaning results for different surfaces and contaminations are presented. The concept of the focusing sonotrode shows that a convincing cleaning result can be achieved even with low power and in short time, provided that the oscillation system and control electronics are suitably coordinated.\r\n\r\nReferences\r\n[1] http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2011/65/2024-08-01 \r\n[2] https://en.honda-el.co.jp/product/ceramics/lineup/lead_off/lead-off \r\n","lang":"eng"}]},{"has_accepted_license":"1","citation":{"ieee":"C.

Neben dem Schweißen von Blechen bietet es die Möglichkeit, Folien oder Hülsen zu verschweißen. Konventionelle Schweißsysteme arbeiten mit Längs- oder Biegeschwingungen, deren Hauptanteil in der Schweißebene liegt. Der orthogonale Anteil verursacht zusätzliche Belastungen im Schweißgut. Bei der Verwendung von Torsionsschwingungen wird die orthogonale Komponente der Schwingung nahezu eliminiert. \r\nIn diesem Beitrag wird ein System vorgestellt, bei dem die Torsionsschwingung durch tangentiale Polarisation der Piezokeramiken erzeugt wird. Der Transducer ist axial oberhalb des Schweißpunktes platziert, sodass die Normalkraft momentfrei aufgebracht wird. Das Schweißwerkzeug weicht beim Schweißvorgang daher seitlich nicht aus. Zudem wird das Schweißen an schwer zugänglichen Positionen vereinfacht, da der Systemaufbau deutlich schlanker ist als konventionelle Ultraschallschweißsysteme.\r\nDie Auslegung des Torsionsschwingsystems stellt eine Herausforderung dar. Insbesondere muss die Lagerung des Schwingers betrachtet werden, da diese die Normalkraft übertragen und zugleich die Schwingung nicht beeinträchtigen soll. Der Schweißprozess bewirkt eine Verschiebung von Schwingungsknoten und Resonanzfrequenzen. Im Rahmen des Vortrags wird ein Finite-Elemente-Simulationsmodell vorgestellt, das in Kombination mit einem Lastmodell das Systemverhalten während des Schweißprozesses abbildet. Die Geometrie des Transducers wurde schrittweise so angepasst, dass die Schwingamplitude im Lagerungspunkt minimiert wird.  \r\n","lang":"ger"}],"file":[{"success":1,"relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":1912154,"file_name":"Dohmen_UPB_LDM_IMAPS_2025.pdf","access_level":"closed","file_id":"64805","date_updated":"2026-03-02T12:01:28Z","date_created":"2026-03-02T12:01:28Z","creator":"hemsel"}],"status":"public","type":"conference","ddc":["620"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2026-03-02T12:01:28Z","_id":"64804","user_id":"210","department":[{"_id":"151"}]},{"extern":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"article_type":"original","department":[{"_id":"151"},{"_id":"9"}],"user_id":"77313","_id":"58556","status":"public","abstract":[{"text":"To predict and prevent uneven tire wear in addition to a reduction of overall tire wear, it is essential to estimate not only the total amount of wear but also how the wear is distributed across the tire width. This requires knowledge of the frictional power distribution in the tire contact patch, which is the basis for calculating tire wear using a wear law. Usually, only 3D structural tire models can generate such distributed contact results. However, they involve high computational costs and cannot be used for comprehensive optimization of a vehicle’s suspension system with respect to tire wear characteristics. Hence, this contribution presents a methodology on how to accelerate the prediction of the frictional power distribution using two components: The structural tire model is replaced by an empirical tire model that on its own is not able to generate distributed contact results. Therefore, an artificial neural network is trained to predict the desired contact results from the kinematic quantities calculated by the empirical tire model. In the initial training phase, both components are fitted to data generated by the original complex tire model. After training, the empirical tire model can replace the structural tire model in vehicle simulations, resulting in significantly shorter calculation times. The simulation results are fed into the artificial neural network, which predicts the frictional power distributions over the tire width with negligible additional effort. Overall, the methodology reduces calculation time for the prediction of tire wear based on virtual test drives to approximately 25% of the time needed when using structural tire models.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"Tire Science and Technology","type":"journal_article","doi":"https://doi.org/10.2346/TST-24-009","title":"Prediction of the Frictional Power Distribution in the Tire Contact Patch Based on an Empirical Tire Model and an Artificial Neural Network","date_created":"2025-02-10T19:54:28Z","author":[{"id":"77313","full_name":"Muth, Lars","last_name":"Muth","orcid":"0000-0002-2938-5616","first_name":"Lars"},{"last_name":"Zharia","full_name":"Zharia, Raphael","first_name":"Raphael"},{"first_name":"Hürkan","full_name":"Sahin, Hürkan","last_name":"Sahin"},{"full_name":"Sextro, Walter","id":"21220","last_name":"Sextro","first_name":"Walter"}],"publisher":"The Tire Society","date_updated":"2025-02-27T19:53:09Z","citation":{"ama":"Muth L, Zharia R, Sahin H, Sextro W.

Besides high power ultrasound applications like ultrasonic cleaning and ultrasonic welding, which are often not strongly restricted regarding their weight, costs, and construction space, there are many applications in the low to medium power range like handheld surgical instruments, medical inhalers, or ultrasonic cutters. For the latter there is often a strong demand for low weight and construction space and low costs to be competitive in mass production. Another challenge that arises from the RoHS-directive [1] is, that new ultrasonic devices should avoid the use of lead-containing PZT-materials. Against this background there is a demand for lead-free, small and lightweight and cost-effective ultrasonic transducers.\r\nIn many of the above-mentioned applications, pre-stressed Bolted-Langevine-Transducers (BLT) based on lead-containing PZT-materials are established to generate ultrasonic vibrations. These are quite advantageous in many ways and can be built tailored to each application and even for high power of thousands of watts. But due to the required steps during their manufacturing process (machining parts, assembly, pre-stressing, frequency tuning, …), these transducers remain expensive. Furthermore, due to the operation in resonance, the construction space of these transducers is linked to their wavelength and cannot be reduced remarkably.\r\nFor these reasons, our aim is to present an innovative lead-free ultrasonic transducer for low to medium power applications, that is based on bending vibrations instead of longitudinal vibrations. This design enables to build very small transducers. Furthermore, due to their simple construction, these transducers can be built at low manufacturing costs and are well suited for industrial mass production. The use of lead-free piezoelectric materials makes this transducer design ready for future applications.\r\nIn our contribution we will present the model-based design of a lead-free 30 kHz bending transducer for applications up to 10 W. Furthermore, the comprehensive experimental analysis of this transducer-prototype in applications like mist generation or ultrasonic drilling will be presented. The results will be compared to a PZT-based bending transducer and a classical BLT to show the potential and limits of these kind of transducers and lead-free materials.\r\n"}],"type":"conference","file_date_updated":"2026-04-02T12:46:09Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"ddc":["620"],"department":[{"_id":"151"}],"user_id":"210","_id":"64803","citation":{"ama":"Bornmann P, Littmann W, Scheidemann C, Hemsel T.

Examples are ultrasonic welding of plastics or metal, surgery processes like cutting of tissue or bone, and the excitation of cavitation in liquids for ultrasonic cleaning. From a physical point of view, many of these processes are characterised by non-constant damping conditions for the ultrasonic actuators, since the systems need to be driven in unloaded as well as in high-loaded states. To get high power output, the piezoelectric actuators are usually driven in or near resonance at precisely defined vibration amplitudes. This is a quite complicated task  especially if cost or mass optimized PZT transducers are used or if lead-free piezoelectric ceramics are applied to replace lead-containing materials. In particular the sudden change between loading states is very challenging for electronic excitation and control. The present contribution gives insight into typical problems that may arise in context with sudden load-changes during operation, e.g. uncontrolled jumps in voltage and velocity amplitudes. Measurements on ultrasonic power actuators being abruptly immersed into water at high amplitude are discussed for illustration. Observations during spontaneous load-changes are explained, and it is shown that several problems may be defused by driving the actuators in antiresonance or using a particular driving point in-between resonance and antiresonance (“falling edge control”). The different control strategies are investigated always using just one single hardware.","lang":"eng"}],"file":[{"file_size":2522135,"access_level":"closed","file_id":"65353","file_name":"ICU_2025_Littmann.pdf","date_updated":"2026-04-02T12:41:08Z","creator":"hemsel","date_created":"2026-04-02T12:41:08Z","success":1,"relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf"}],"status":"public","type":"conference","ddc":["620"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2026-04-02T12:41:08Z","_id":"64802","user_id":"210","department":[{"_id":"151"}],"year":"2025","citation":{"bibtex":"@inproceedings{Littmann_Bornmann_Hemsel_Scheidemann_2025, title={Power ultrasonic actuators with suddenly changing loads: How to control the amplitudes in resonance,  antiresonance, or in-between}, author={Littmann, Walter and Bornmann, Peter and Hemsel, Tobias and Scheidemann, Claus}, year={2025} }","mla":"Littmann, Walter, et al. <i>Power Ultrasonic Actuators with Suddenly Changing Loads: How to Control the Amplitudes in Resonance,  Antiresonance, or in-Between</i>. 2025.","short":"W.

Existing approaches often utilize impedance measurements over a range of frequencies or velocity measurements and require additional equipment or sensors, such as a laser Doppler vibrometer. Furthermore, the non-negligible effects of varying operating conditions are often unconsidered. To minimize the need for additional sensors while maintaining the dependability of piezoelectric bending actuators irrespective of varying operating conditions, an online diagnostics approach is proposed. To this end, time- and frequency-domain features are extracted from monitored current signals to reflect hairline crack development in bending actuators. For validation of applicability, the presented analysis method was evaluated on piezoelectric bending actuators subjected to accelerated lifetime tests at varying voltage amplitudes and under external damping conditions. In the presence of a crack and due to a diminished stiffness, the resonance frequency decreases and the root-mean-square amplitude of the current signal simultaneously abruptly drops during the lifetime tests. Furthermore, the piezoelectric crack surfaces clapping is reflected in higher harmonics of the current signal. Thus, time-domain features and harmonics of the current signals are sufficient to diagnose hairline cracks in the actuators."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["piezoelectric transducer","self-sensing","fault detection","diagnostics","hairline crack","condition monitoring"]},{"date_updated":"2024-03-18T11:32:27Z","volume":16,"author":[{"last_name":"Dymel","full_name":"Dymel, Collin","first_name":"Collin"}],"publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9783844093964"]},"publication_status":"published","related_material":{"link":[{"relation":"confirmation","url":"https://www.shaker.de/de/content/catalogue/index.asp?lang=de&ID=8&ISBN=978-3-8440-9396-4&search=yes"}]},"place":"Düren","intvolume":"        16","page":"134","citation":{"short":"C.

Dabei wirken unterschiedliche Einflussfaktoren auf die elektrischen Eigenschaften und die mechanischen Übertragungscharakteristiken der Ultraschallsysteme ein. Die Herausforderungen ein solches geprägtes System auszulegen oder effizient und zuverlässig zu betreiben, sind aufgrund der Nichtlinearitäten relativ groß.\r\nDa für die Beschreibung der nichtlinearen Materialbeziehungen nur wenige Modelle und kaum quantitative Angaben vorliegen, werden die komplexen Wechselwirkungen von Materialparametern, Geometrie und Vorspannung des Schwingers, Betriebsgrößen (Strom, Spannung), Temperatur und Prozesslasten durch systematische Untersuchungen von Keramiken und Langevin-Schwingern messtechnisch erfasst. Aus den Messergebnissen werden einerseits eindimensionale Modelle für Voruntersuchungen als auch vollständige Materialparametersätze für die Simulation mittels dreidimensionaler FE-Modelle hergeleitet.\r\nEine Methodik zur Ermittlung der Materialparameter und ein auf iterativen Simulationen von FE-Modellen basierendes Werkzeug zur Simulation der komplexen Wechselwirkungen werden vorgestellt. Anhand eines exemplarischen Ultraschallsystems wird gezeigt, dass die Wirkungen temperaturbedingter Vorspannungsverluste, Änderungen des elektrischen Klemmenverhaltens und Amplituden- und Frequenzänderungen während des Betriebes bei großen Amplituden und Prozesslasten durch die Variationen des Keramikvolumens und der Keramikposition positiv beeinflusst werden können.","lang":"ger"}]},{"title":"Diagnostics and Prognostics for Retrofitted Systems: A Comprehensive Approach for Enhanced System Health Assessment","conference":{"start_date":"2024-05-28","name":"2024 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM)","location":"Stockholm, Schweden","end_date":"2024-05-31"},"doi":"10.1109/PHM61473.2024.00038","date_updated":"2024-07-22T09:29:26Z","publisher":"IEEE Computer Society","date_created":"2024-07-22T09:27:57Z","author":[{"first_name":"Amelie","id":"54290","full_name":"Bender, Amelie","last_name":"Bender"},{"first_name":"Osarenren Kennedy","last_name":"Aimiyekagbon","full_name":"Aimiyekagbon, Osarenren Kennedy","id":"9557"},{"full_name":"Sextro, Walter","id":"21220","last_name":"Sextro","first_name":"Walter"}],"year":"2024","citation":{"bibtex":"@inproceedings{Bender_Aimiyekagbon_Sextro_2024, title={Diagnostics and Prognostics for Retrofitted Systems: A Comprehensive Approach for Enhanced System Health Assessment}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1109/PHM61473.2024.00038\">10.1109/PHM61473.2024.00038</a>}, booktitle={Proceedings of the 2024 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM)}, publisher={IEEE Computer Society}, author={Bender, Amelie and Aimiyekagbon, Osarenren Kennedy and Sextro, Walter}, year={2024} }","mla":"Bender, Amelie, et al. “Diagnostics and Prognostics for Retrofitted Systems: A Comprehensive Approach for Enhanced System Health Assessment.” <i>Proceedings of the 2024 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM)</i>, IEEE Computer Society, 2024, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1109/PHM61473.2024.00038\">10.1109/PHM61473.2024.00038</a>.","short":"A.

Therefore, already used systems are retrofitted by \r\nintegrating sensors to monitor their performance and \r\nfunctionality, enabling accurate diagnosis of their condition and \r\nprediction of their remaining useful life. One of the main \r\nchallenges in this field is identified in the missing data from the \r\ntime where the retrofitted system has already run but without \r\nbeing monitored by sensors. In this paper, a novel approach for \r\nthe combined diagnostics and prognostics of retrofitted systems is \r\nproposed. The methodology aims to provide an accurate diagnosis \r\nof the system’s health state and estimation of the remaining useful \r\nlife by a combination of a machine learning and expert knowledge. \r\nTo evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, a case \r\nstudy involving a retrofitted system in an industrial setting is \r\nselected and applied. It is demonstrated that the approach \r\neffectively diagnose the current system’s health state and \r\naccurately predict its remaining useful life, thereby enabling \r\npredictive maintenance and decision-making. Overall, our \r\nresearch contributes to advancing the field of condition \r\nmonitoring for retrofitted systems by providing a comprehensive \r\nmethodology that addresses the challenge of missing data."}],"status":"public","type":"conference","publication":"Proceedings of the 2024 Prognostics and System Health Management Conference (PHM)"},{"type":"conference","status":"public","file":[{"file_size":1984385,"file_name":"IWPMA_2024_Scheidemann.pdf","access_level":"open_access","file_id":"63820","date_updated":"2026-03-02T11:00:13Z","date_created":"2026-01-30T14:50:06Z","creator":"hemsel","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf"}],"department":[{"_id":"151"}],"user_id":"210","_id":"61756","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2026-03-02T11:00:13Z","ddc":["620"],"has_accepted_license":"1","citation":{"ama":"Scheidemann C, Hemsel T, Sextro W.
