  abstract     = {{This study presents a numerical approach using a 3D finite element model to quantify the remaining clamp load of a plastic nut joint after a specific time. The viscoelastic relaxation of a thermoplastic nut, which is predominantly screwed on a welding stud, is described by a material card using Prony Series. Prony Series are derived from experimental Dynamical Mechanical Analysis with different moisture and fiber contents of the thermoplastic. Since plastic nuts usually do not have preformed threads, the increased temperatures and resulting stresses from the thread-forming process are considered in the simulation. Firstly, the FE model is verified by substrate stress relaxation tests. Subsequently, experimental clamp load measurements with miniature compression load cells verify the clamp load prediction. Finally, the developed model is used to analyze the clamp load distribution within the threads}},

  abstract     = {{Die Inbetriebnahme von Steuerungen und Regelungen stellt sicher, dass ein mechatronisches System ordnungsgemäß funktioniert und den Anforderungen gerecht wird. Der modellbasierte Entwurf basiert auf einem genauen Simulationsmodell. Allerdings ist dieser klassische Weg bei komplexen Systemen oft nicht praktikabel, da die analytische Modellierung zu kompliziert und zeitaufwendig ist. Diese Forschungslücke wird durch Verfahren adressiert, die eine effiziente und sichere Inbetriebnahme ermöglichen. Diese Verfahren kombinieren Regelungstechnik und Reinforcement Learning und nutzen vorhandenes Wissen über die Regelungsaufgabe, um Korrekturen basierend auf Messdaten und der probabilistischen Gauß-Prozess-Regression vorzunehmen. Das Vorwissen kann als teilweise bekanntes physikalisches Modell oder als Steuerungsfunktion vorliegen. Anwendungsbeispiele sind der Ultraschalldrahtbondprozess, verschiedene Pendelsysteme und ein Hexapod. Eine angepasste Bayessche Optimierung wird zur Identifikation einer Steuerparametrisierung für das Ultraschallbonden eingesetzt. Außerdem wird eine hybride Optimalsteuerung für das Doppelpendel auf einem Wagen entwickelt und erfolgreich validiert. Fur einen Hexapod zur Fahrzeugachsprüfung wird eine hybride Zustandslinearisierung formuliert und ein Funktionsnachweis im Rahmen einer Simulation erbracht. Die Einhaltung technischer Rahmenbedingungen und stabiles Systemverhalten werden durch probabilistische Pradiktionen gewährleistet. In allen Anwendungsfällen wird eine Steigerung der Effizienz und Güte erzielt.}},

Quantitative approaches and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications offer the potential to improve work design.

  abstract     = {{<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Systems Engineering is developing differently in each sector and region. In German industry, especially in mechanical and plant engineering, Systems Engineering is of major importance. The introduction of Systems Engineering raises the question of which roles and competencies are required. This article examines the evolution of roles in Systems Engineering from a German perspective. Based on a literature review, the evolution of the identified Systems Engineering roles over time is shown, starting with the seminal publication by Sheard in 1996. It points out that only minimal adjustments and occasional role renaming have occurred. However, the review shows a common understanding of essential areas of responsibility within the SE and changes over time. The next step is to examine the current understanding of Systems Engineering roles in the industry. A quantitative analysis of job postings in Germany reveals a diverse interpretation of the term 'Systems Engineer; more than half of the positions cannot be categorized according to the INCOSE definitions. The job postings are used to determine which tasks are associated with the job, how often they occur, and in what combination. The primary responsibilities of systems engineers include creating and managing requirements, architecture processes, validation, and verification processes, and coordinating with customers and stakeholders. Finally, three representative companies from the mechanical and plant engineering sector were selected to analyze existing roles and tasks. From this, a common understanding of tasks and responsibilities is combined and organized into clusters. These are used by the companies to locate and thus derive their roles. The result is in an integrative approach that enables companies, especially in the midsize and medium sectors, to design the introduction in line with stakeholder demands. In summary, the industry's ongoing adaptation necessitates the evolution of Systems Engineering roles and competencies for successful and sustainable development and implementation of systems.</jats:p>}},
