The traces are collected by manually executing the program in question and therefore represent only part of all relevant program behavior. This can lead to false conclusions about the detected patterns. In this paper, we propose to generate all relevant program traces by using symbolic execution. In order to reduce the created trace data, we allow to limit the trace collection to a user-selectable subset of the statically detected pattern candidates.}},

The maximum vibration amplitude and the minimum electrical input power are considered as optimization objectives. Design variables involve continuous variables (dimensions of the transducer) and discrete variables (material types). Based on analytical models, the optimal design is formulated as a constrained multi-objective optimization problem. The optimization problem is then solved by using the elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and Pareto-optimal designs are obtained. The optimized results are analyzed and the preferred design is proposed. The optimization procedure presented in this contribution can be applied in multi-objective optimization problems of other piezoelectric transducers.}},

  abstract     = {{The paper presents the results of numerical and experimental investigation of cylindrical piezoelectric actuator used for achieving independent three degrees of freedom oscillations of the contact point. The design of actuator based on a hollow piezoelectric cylinder mounted on a metal rod. The piezoceramic cylinder has a radial polarization and special configuration of the electrodes that cover inner and outer surface of the cylinder. The main advantage of actuator's design is that solid metallic rod operates as a part of inner electrode of the cylinder and a stator of actuator. The geometry of piezoelectric actuator was adopted to reach resonance of oscillations for the first longitudinal mode and the third flexural mode at same frequency. The actuator is designed to move positioned object through contact point which is located on the top of the rod. The optimal topology of electrodes was found to achieve longitudinal and flexural oscillations of the actuator in two perpendicular planes. Three degrees of freedom of the positioning object can be achieved and control of the system can be implemented by applying different excitation schemes and regimes. The numerical simulation and experimental study of piezoelectric actuator was performed. Impedance of actuator was analyzed under different excitation regimes. The results of numerical modeling and experimental study were compared. Recommendations for the further development of this type of actuator are given.}},

  abstract     = {{In this study, we report some improvements in a hydrothermal method for lead-free piezoelectric powders and the performance of the sintered (K$_{0.48}$Na$_{0.52}$)NbO$_{3}$ ceramics. To increase the obtained powder weight per source solution volume, the hydrothermal reaction conditions were modified. This improvement is important for mass production; however, it resulted in a larger particle size dispersion. Therefore, we examined to introduced the ball milling process that is useful for dense (K$_{0.48}$Na$_{0.52}$)NbO$_{3}$ ceramics. When a large amount of powder was obtained, it took a long time to eliminate the residual alkaline ions in the hydrothermal powders by a washing process. Therefore, a neutralization was conducted in the powder washing process. Using this powder, a solid solution of (K,Na)NbO$_{3}$ceramics was synthesized. The relative density was successfully increased. Concerning the electrical properties, the relative permittivity was improved, and the piezoelectric constant d$_{33}$ was also increased from 114 to 130 pC/N.}},

  abstract     = {{One cannot image today's life without mechatronic systems, which have to be developed in a joint effort by teams of mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, control engineers and software engineers. Often these systems are applied in safety critical environments like in cars or aircrafts. This requires systems that function correctly and do not cause hazardous situations. However, random errors due to wear or external influences cannot be completely excluded. Consequently, we have to perform a hazard analysis for the system. Further, the union of four disciplines in one system requires the development and analysis of the system as a whole. We present a component-based hazard analysis that considers the entire mechatronic system including hardware, i.e. mechanical and electrical components, and software components. Our approach considers the physical properties of different types of flow in mechatronic systems. We have identified reusable patterns for the failure behavior which can be generated automatically. This reduces the effort for the developer. As cycles, e.g. control cycles, are an internal part of every mechatronic system our approach is able to handle cycles. The presented approach has been applied to a real-life case study.}},

This allows deriving measures to increase the reliability of the system. The concept is applied to an X-by-wire vehicle with single-wheel actuators. The emphasis is here mostly on the influence of the objectives of the multiobjective optimization for the benefit of the reliability of the system. It is demonstrated in simulations, that the lateral and longitudinal forces at the wheels can be distributed advantageously by the selection of the suitable objective functions and the appropriate weights.}},

  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.}},
