  abstract     = {{Currently, numerous single-track railway lines are disused due to economic reasons. They could be reactivated by small vehicles that use only one rail and thus can be operated in both directions at the same time. MONOCABs are such small cabin-like vehicles, stabilized by a system of control moment gyroscopes and a trim mass. They could make an important contribution to improve the mobility offer especially in rural areas. Regarding the MONOCAB, there is currently no reference in comparison with other vehicles. In the context of mechanical design and construction, interdependencies with vertical stabilization occur. Torsional effects in particular can critically affect the stability. This paper investigates the influence of mechanical eigenmodes on the vertical stabilization system. Specific characteristics of the system (especially due to the gyroscopes) are highlighted by a model-based analysis. Moreover, a FEM modal analysis is used to examine the supporting frame of the vehicle. The results are compared to experimentally estimated frequency responses of a full-scale monorail vehicle.}},

  abstract     = {{Due to the material changes of components from metal to plastic or composite materials, the structural health monitoring finds more and more interest in the industrial fields. The reason is that these materials are more vulnerable to damage or impacts which cannot be optically detected. In this contribution we present a method to analyze the structure of plastic components with piezo-electrical sensors and actuators. The components are stimulated by actuators, and sensors capture the injected vibrations. These signals are decomposed into Intrinsic Mode Functions to compute statistical features. A Fuzzy-Pattern-Classifier is applied to detect structural modifications at the components under test.}},
