The goal of this paper is to develop a multi-faced knowledge management-based strategy combining analytical and qualitative methods and processes for small and medium enterprises...
The paper analyzes the stiffness of the Orthofix external fixation system at axial pressure load, applied to the lower leg in case of an unstable fracture. Based on the actual construction of the Orthofix fixator, its 3D model was formed, and then a structural analysis was performed in the CATIA V5 software system. The aim of this paper is to investigate the mechanical properties of Orthofix fixator...
This paper is oriented on very important topics, which nowadays simulation and optimization surely are. First part of this paper is oriented on simulation software Plant Simulation, because this software is one of the best software on the market. Second section deals in detail with the procedure of saw blades production. Third section presents creation of simulation model for selected production process,...
This case study describes a manufacturing process of composite chassis also known as monocoque. The structure is made using carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) which are manufactured in out-of-autoclave (OOA) process from pre-impregnated carbon fabrics and aluminium alloy honeycomb core. Since the material cost is high the aim of the project was to reduce the cost of manufacturing process i.e...
With the software playing a key role in most of the modern, complex systems it is extremely important to create and keep the software requirements precise and non-ambiguous. One of the key elements to achieve such a goal is to define the terms used in a requirement in a precise way. The aim of this study is to verify if the commercially available tools for natural language processing (NLP) can be...
This review presents the usage of adhesives and binders for agglomeration of particle materials, including waste, in order to obtain strong bodies. The binding materials were classified into three categories: inorganic binders, organic binders, and compound binders. Many examples of the agglomeration effect of binders in view of their adhesive and thickening reveal that they have a significant impact...
Internal water pipe corrosion is a complicated problem due to the interaction of water quality parameters with pipe wall. This study presents investigations of internal pipe surface corrosion mechanisms related to water physicochemical. Samples of water and corrosion-damaged ductile cast iron (30+ years) and galvanized steel pipe (15-20 years) were collected at in-situ condition from Addis Ababa city...
Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are essential for the protection of advanced communication networks. These systems were primarily designed to identify particular patterns, signatures, and rule violations. Machine Learning and Deep Learning approaches have been used in recent years in the field of network intrusion detection to provide promising alternatives. These approaches can discriminate between...
Results of an investigation of the effect of surface tilt in range of 0-6 deg on nanoindentation measurements under Berkovich indenter at different loads made on copper and glass surfaces are presented and discussed. It was found that: (1) measured hardness increases for tilt angle >3 degand this increase is about 12% at 6 degfor both samples at all applied loads, (2) the overestimation in hardness...
This paper presents results of a study investigating worm gears consisting of polymer worm wheels and steel involute and Archimedes worms. The author uses his own calculation method to predict polymer wheel wear, gear life and maximum contact pressure in mesh. The effect of tooth correction and wear on gear life and contact pressure is considered. Cases of double and triple tooth engagement are analysed...
In paper has been carried out to develop a load-bearing floor to increase the carrying capacity of the solid-body rail freight car. An analysis of the structures made it possible to formulate the hypothesis that the load-bearing floor of the solid-body rail freight car should have a different cross-sectional shape. As a result, the load-bearing floor of the solid-body rail freight car was proposed,...
The paper describes the effect of cutting parameters and tool geometry on the surface quality after machining of an Al/CFRP (aluminium alloy/ Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics) sandwich structure. A two-layer sandwich structure made of an EN AW 2024 aluminium alloy and Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) was examined. The experiment used the process of peripheral milling. The experiment investigated...
The objective of this work is the preparation and the characterization of high density polyethylene /calcium carbonate (HDPE/CaCO3) composites. Polyethylene composites, containing 10-35 wt. % of CaCO3 and HDPE with MFI (Melt Flow index) (0.550 g/10mn) were prepared with co-extrusion process using extruder type Cincinati 90D. Thermal and mechanical studies were made in order to determine the parameters...
The aim of the paper is a dynamic analysis of the starting and braking of the table of a numerically controlled CNC machine tool during idle motion. The experimental test was performed on the vertical table of the FV580A machining centre using the Phantom v1610 high-speed vision camera. The dynamics characteristics of the table movement were registered and the dynamics estimates of the movement were...
The study presents the results of comprehensive numerical analyses of an unusual solution in the field of geometry of holes in the wall of the wing torsion box subjected to torsion. Due to the nature of loads acting on the wing structure in flight conditions, it is possible to modify the current standard solutions. However, this involves a fundamental change in the nature of stress distribution and...
Development of design characteristics based dynamic decision support framework is presented in the current study, to facilitate the decision makers in the transformation of system in the industry 4.0 paradigm. The model development is designed for a robust decision-making approach to integrating human and machine knowledge to adopt smart technologies and system design. The system is based on prioritization...
In this paper, we establish the strong consistency and the Bahadur representation of sample quantiles for ρ*-mixing random variables. Additionally, the asymptotic normality and the Berry-Esseen bound of sample quantiles for ρ*-mixing random variables are presented. Additionally, we provide the rate of convergence of sample quantiles to population counterparts. Moreover, numerical simulation is presented...
The paper presents an analysis of selected design solutions for spur gears with reduced weight, in which the results obtained are compared to a solid gear without modifications. The reduction of the weight of the gears is of particular importance, among others in the automotive and aviation industries, where it reduces energy consumption, and thus CO2 emissions. It is also important to remember to...
In this work a simple new type of flow sensors was developed; the double coil flow sensor. In this sensor two coils are magnetically coupled due to the flow of pure water inside them. The first coil, the primary coil, was supplied by AC voltage in the frequency range 0.5-1 MHz which is the coupling range of frequency for water. The voltage in the second coil, was found to be directly proportional...
Bamboo is a naturally available, fast growing and renewable resource. Bamboo plants are found all over the world in tropical and non-tropical regions. Asia pacific region is specifically rich in bamboo biodiversity. Due to high energy demand of existing construction materials and scarcity of other naturally available materials like wood, bamboo is a good alternative for construction. This paper reviews...
