This tensile testing device provides the opportunity for compensating frictional forces during the tensile test, and using exchangeable bearings, the device can be adapted to a wide assortment of pipes. Research has been carried out regarding the shape and size of a stress concentrator introduced into the sample. Relationships have been derived between the shape of the tensile loading curves and the characteristic forces for different types of stress concentrators. It is proposed to use PSS with stress concentrators to prevent plastic deformation in one of the supporting sections (this also allows to correlate the applied forces to one section). The concentrator should be introduced into the tube wall of the sample as a drilled hole. This method is comparatively simple with respect to established testing methods.}}, author = {{Andreiev, Anatolii and Golovko, Oleksandr and Frolov, Iaroslav and Nürnberger, Florian and Wolf, Lars Oliver and Schaper, Mirko and Grydin, Olexandr}}, issn = {{2195-8572}}, journal = {{Materials Testing}}, pages = {{643--648}}, title = {{{Testing of pipe sections}}}, doi = {{10.3139/120.110759}}, year = {{2015}}, } @article{296, abstract = {{FPGAs are known to permit huge gains in performance and efficiency for suitable applications but still require reduced design efforts and shorter development cycles for wider adoption. In this work, we compare the resulting performance of two design concepts that in different ways promise such increased productivity. As common starting point, we employ a kernel-centric design approach, where computational hotspots in an application are identified and individually accelerated on FPGA. By means of a complex stereo matching application, we evaluate two fundamentally different design philosophies and approaches for implementing the required kernels on FPGAs. In the first implementation approach, we designed individually specialized data flow kernels in a spatial programming language for a Maxeler FPGA platform; in the alternative design approach, we target a vector coprocessor with large vector lengths, which is implemented as a form of programmable overlay on the application FPGAs of a Convey HC-1. We assess both approaches in terms of overall system performance, raw kernel performance, and performance relative to invested resources. After compensating for the effects of the underlying hardware platforms, the specialized dataflow kernels on the Maxeler platform are around 3x faster than kernels executing on the Convey vector coprocessor. In our concrete scenario, due to trade-offs between reconfiguration overheads and exposed parallelism, the advantage of specialized dataflow kernels is reduced to around 2.5x.}}, author = {{Kenter, Tobias and Schmitz, Henning and Plessl, Christian}}, journal = {{International Journal of Reconfigurable Computing (IJRC)}}, publisher = {{Hindawi}}, title = {{{Exploring Tradeoffs between Specialized Kernels and a Reusable Overlay in a Stereo-Matching Case Study}}}, doi = {{10.1155/2015/859425}}, volume = {{2015}}, year = {{2015}}, } @inproceedings{303, abstract = {{This paper introduces Binary Acceleration At Runtime(BAAR), an easy-to-use on-the-fly binary acceleration mechanismwhich aims to tackle the problem of enabling existentsoftware to automatically utilize accelerators at runtime.
