An ad hoc wireless network consists of mobile networks which create an underlying architecture for communication without the help of traditional fixed-position routers. There are different protocols for handling the routing in the mobile environment. Routing protocols used in fixed infrastructure networks cannot be efficiently used for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET), so it requires different protocols...
This work features the results of experimental research in determining the limiting length of the bonded single-lap joint of materials of the same thickness, different thicknesses and of hybrid systems of different aluminium alloy sheets. The length of the bonded lap joint is just one of the structural features, critical to the strength of bonded joints, this length depending on the thickness and...
Soy beans powder mixed with water is a good food for animals. However, there are two problems with this brew. One is that soy beans powder is sunk down to fast. Parts of soy beans powder are too big and too heavy. Animals do not eat soy beans powder because after a few minutes (around 3min) is sunk down and soy beans are on the bottom case. Another negative point is a quick growth of mold, especially...
Duplex Stainless Steels (DSS) and Super Duplex Stainless Steel (SDSS) have excellent integration of mechanical and corrosion properties. However, the formation of intermetallic phases is a major problem in their usage. The mechanical and corrosion properties are deteriorated due to the presence of intermetallic phases. These phases are induced during welding, prolonged exposure to high temperatures,...

The optimization process carried out using finite element method approach, which is coupled with Taguchi design of experiments and reduced...
This study aimed at evaluating and analyzing the voltage and current distortions on the introduction of a steel production plant in a typical 33 kV distribution system in Nigeria, with a view to assisting decisions made in the present system operation and planning effective service delivery in terms of quality. A three phase induction furnace was developed using MatLab Simulink software and the effects...
The main goal was to determine if transducers based on piezoelectric materials are suitable for strain calculations in thin GFRP specimens. Numerous experimental studies, both physical and numerical, performed by the authors, have shown that there is a huge influence of bonded piezoelectric transducer on the overall stiffness of the measured object. The paper presents tensile test performed on strength...
The aim of this study was to investigate the new method of polythiophene polymerization. It was made an attempt of the chemical oxidation of thiophene in aqueous medium without the addition of any surfactant. The oxidative compound applied in the synthesis was gaseous ozone. Resulting polymer was obtained in the form of nano-spheres dispersed in water. The method developed in this study allow to obtain...
The aim of the study was to determine the feasibility of riveted joints in composites materials. Static tensile test method was used. In the test one type of glass fabric was used (Interglas 92140) from which two types of composite samples were prepared. In each sample the same type of fiber with the same fiber orientation – 3 layers - was used. The samples had dimensions of 100×100 mm and thickness...
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of propellant formulation and geometry on the solid propellant grains internal ballistic performance using core, bates, rod and tubular and end-burn geometries. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to analyze and optimize the effect of sucrose, potassium nitrate and carbon on the chamber pressure, temperature, thrust and specific impulse of the...
A beam–to-column connection design and results of engineer calculations using Autodesk’s Robot Structural analysis are shown in the article. Two types of connections, bolted and welded, were calculated. The tensile resistance amounted to 912.74 kN, bending resistance to 100.87 kN·m and effective design capacity of the bolt amounted to 27.69 kN. Normal stress in the weld amounted to σ⊥max = τ⊥max =...
The paper presents a method for estimating the uncertainty of optical coordinate measurement based on the use of information about the geometry and the size of measured object as well as information about the measurement system, i.e. maximum permissible error (MPE) of the machine, selection of a sensor, and also the required measurement accuracy, the number of operators, measurement strategy and external...
The article presents the results of studies on the effect of plasma cutting technological parameters upon the shape of bearing curves and the parameters of the curve. The topography of surface formed by plasma cutting were analyzed. For measuring surface roughness and determining the bearing curve the appliance T8000 RC120 – 400 by Hommel-Etamic was used together with software.
The article presents an analysis of assembly suitability of the innovative hybrid node. Weld distortions are a factor that affects significantly the quality of a structure during its pre-fabrication stage, thus increasing manufacturing costs . For the purposes of this analysis, such distortion forms were chosen that are the highest-ranking ones in the technological hierarchy. The analysis was performed...
Currently, wind power is a leader in the renewable energy sector. One of the many advantages of the development of renewable energy sources is small harm to the environment. Nevertheless, in order to install a wind farm we must overcome a number of obstacles associated with it. One of the many stages of the construction of wind turbines is designing its proper location. It is a very complex process,...
The articles presents the possibility of using CNC turning centers for planing. Through the application of specialized planingtools, it is possible to avoid the use of additional mills during the machining process. The implementation of these tools avoids dimensional and geometrical deviations resulting for remounting the work piece in different machines, while also saving time.

Component-based software engineering (CBSE) / Component-Based Development (CBD) lays emphasis on decomposition of the engineered systems into functional or logical components with well-defined interfaces used for communication across the components. Component-based software development approach is based on the idea to develop software systems by selecting appropriate off-the-shelf components and then...
The improvement of effectiveness of work furnaces depends on increasing the efficiency as well as the decrease the elementary consumption of energy. The character of the analyzed electric chamber furnace to thermal processing in work was introduced. over the discussed results concern the efficiencies, consumption of electric energy as well as the coefficient of elementary consumption of energy. The...
In fact, reliability as the qualities metric is the probability success or the probability that a system or a set of tasks will work without failure for a specified constraints of time and space, as specified in the design and operating conditions specified temperature, humidity, vibration and action. A relatively new methodologies for developing complex software systems engineering is an aspect oriented...
