The paper provides research and results for underground storage of gas (UGSG) in limestone rocks, which were carried out in Slovenia – Central Europe. The areas was geological surveyed and in addition structural boreholes were drilled up to the depth of 350 m. The cores were logged with emphasis on stratigraphy, layering, rock joints, tectonic zones, RQD… and addition characteristics samples were...
This paper presents an analysis of optical properties of cubic titanium dioxide (TiO2) using Orthogonalized Linear Combinations of Atomic Orbitals (OLCAO) basis set under the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT). Many optical properties such as refractive index, extinction coefficient, reflectivity, absorption coefficient, photoconductivity, and loss coefficient have been studied and analyzed...
The energy performance and operational characteristics of the passenger lift investigated in this study were based on energy consumption data registered throughout the normal duty cycle. An overview is provided of available methods employed to evaluate the energy uptake of passenger lifts, relying mostly on energy consumption measurements taken on a real object over an idealised reference duty cycle...
This paper examines the effect of selected factors on the wood bonded joint strength. The structural factor under scrutiny was the geometry of the surface area; however, other major dimensions of adherends were compared as well. The tests were performed on 6 joint types: butt, v-shaped, interlocking, scarf, tongue & groove, and single lap joints, which were formed on two types of substrate materials...
The paper presents the results of a numerical analysis (by FEM) of a new forging process for producing a hollow ball with an outside diameter of 30 mm and a wall thickness of 4.4 mm. It was assumed that the ball forging would be cold formed from hollow billet (tube) made of 19MnCr5 steel. The effect of billet dimensions (diameter, height and wall thickness) on the forming process was investigated,...
The bead blasting process is widespread in both the automotive and aerospace industry and is performed in order to improve the fatigue strength of various components. Bead blasting is a cold plastic forming process during which the surface of the material processed is hit by small, hard particles consisting of steel pellets, bearing balls or glass beads. It increases the hardness of the outer layer...
Treatment of metal alloys is one of the ways to affect the properties of the material. The article describes an experiment realized at FPTM UJEP when was experimentally studied the influence of alloys AlSi9CuMnNi calcium modification on some of its properties. The alloy was modified with various amounts of calcium and subsequently machining. Also hardness was measured in the resulting alloys. Machining...
The publication describes research on supplements that reduce foil friction in the case of sliding contacts. The supplements added to the LD-PE polymer material were based on the following blends: erucic acid amide, behenic acid amide, colloidal silica, potassium soap and talc. The work contains information on the types of processing additives and the resulting changes in properties in the surface...
The paper presents results of research on thin-walled load-bearing structure model representing a fragment of plane wing torsion box. The basis for obtaining data on deformation character and stability loss process was a model experiment conducted using a dedicated experimental stand. On the basis of experiment results, adequate numerical simulations were conducted using software based on finite elements...
The paper focuses on modular conveyors, mainly dedicated for the transport of parcel goods of various properties. Accent will also be put to their use in processes where the belt’s resistance to higher temperatures or to mechanical damage is required. The solution is aimed on the use for installation in larger transport units, production as well assembly lines. The proposal of the conveyor design...
This paper presents the application of mineral additives, such as expanded perlite, expanded vermiculite and microspheres in items used in founding. Mixed with paper pulp and aluminosilicate resin as a binder, these additives are the base of a mixture patented by the authors, which can be used in the production of pipe shapes and connectors with a circular cross-section in casting systems in the...
Aim of presented study was to compare plateau stress in honeycomb structures under out-of-plane load calculated using Wierzbicki formula with numerical simulations validated using experimental trials. ALUBOND® Alucore honeycomb structure was examined. The results of theoretical, experimental and numerical investigation are reported. Two methods of modeling core behavior were evaluated using simulations...
This article addresses the optimization of a dosing tank using a spiral harmonic motion. The dosing tank is used for ashort-term storage of cohesive sand, which is then released into a tubular mold. Originally, a solution based on the principle of wiping the material using rotary blades and brushes was used to fill the molds. However, this method was not effective enough. This solution suffered from...
Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) systems are designed for weighing vehicles driving across a measurement site. Because during measurements the vehicle has to come in physical contact with the components of the system, WIM systems always use built-in sensors installed in road pavement. Each WIM system consists of force sensors placed in one, two or even several lines, perpendicular to the direction of traffic...
The paper presents the results of examination of the proposal content and the scope of maintenance of the machining center MCFV 1050 Basic through the RCM II - Reliability Centered Maintenance method. Based on the analysis of apriori and parametric reliability methods, it was decided to use the FMEA for analyze the causes and consequences of failure states using the software IQ-RM PRO 6. The structure,...
The paper considers the static pressure of the environment on the parallel pipe. The environment is elastic, homogeneous bodies. To determine the ambient pressure, the finite element method (FEM) is used. An algorithm (MAS) was developed and a computer program was compiled. Based on the compiled program (C++), numerical results are obtained. The numerical results obtained for two to five parallel...
Active-adaptive system of electric power system (EPS) modes control, using its ideal (“economic”) mode is suggested. The process of optimal control is constructed in such a manner that EPS current mode by means of control facilities approaches to “economic” mode. Direction, change of EPS current mode parameters are realized for its improvement and they are determined according to the least action...
This paper presents the use of 3D printing and discusses two types of materials used in 3D printing, i.e. ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and PLA (Polylactide). Next, it presents the thermovisual measurementscarried out on 3D printed samples (FDM method - fused deposition modelling) of these materials. The temperature zones that occurred during printing were determined. The geometrical dimensions...
In the paper the results of research on the use of cavitation effects in certain technologiesare presented. Intensification of mass transfer processes in the system ‘solid phase - liquid’ is reviewed taking into account solid phase cavitation crashing, turbulization of boundary diffusion layer of fluid by cavitation bubbles, the emergence of non-stationary aspects of mass transfer, changes in physical...
On the market there are plenty of machines for cutting of steel via a mixture of oxygen and flammable gases. Various manufacturers provide several types of torches, cutting nozzles and other equipment in their product range. Cutting nozzles are a component that significantly affects quality of cutting based in set parameters. However, data from catalogues and manuals by manufacturers on cutting parameters...
