The artworks of the US artist Cy Twombly (1928–2011) are considered to be hermetic and inaccessible. Pencil scribblings, explosions of paint, tumbling lines, overlapping layers of color, and inscriptions, geometrical figures, numerals, rows of numbers, words, fragments of quotations, and enigmatic work-titles present very special challenges to both researchers and viewers. In the interdisciplinary and transcultural research method of the Morphomata International Center for Advanced Studies at the University of Cologne, a conference was held in June 2012 that brought art historians together with renowned scholars of Egyptology, Archaeology, German, Greek, English, Japanese, and the Romance languages, i.e. all the fields and cultural spheres that were a source of inspiration for the œuvre of Cy Twombly. While these scholars inquire into the relation between title, work, and inscribed quotations, leading representatives of research on Twombly focus on the visual language and scriptural-imagistic quality of Cy Twombly’s work. Through comprehensive interpretations of famous single works and groups in all the artistic media employed by Twombly, the volume’s cross-disciplinary view opens up a route into the associative-referential visual language of Cy Twombly.

Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde das Messsystem ResoCable®, bestehend aus Hard- und Software, entwickelt, mit dem die Durchführung und Auswertung der Frequenzmessungen an externen Spanngliedern und Seilen schnell und fehlerminimiert durchführbar sind. Hierzu wurden neben Versuchen an Litzen und vollverschlossenen Seilen (VVS) zahlreiche Messungen an externen Spanngliedern und Seilen durchgeführt. Darüber hinaus wurde mittels FE-Berechnungen das Verhalten von Litzen an Umlenkstellen untersucht.
