This paper covers the issue of the establishment of a detailed control network for the realization of a construction survey pursuant to existing legislation, in particular: The Regulation of the Minister of Interior and Administration of November 9, 2011 on establishing technical standards of topographic surveys and processing of the results and submitting them to pzgik. (published in Polish: Rozporządzenie...
The rheological behaviour of beetroot juice as a function of soluble solid content (from 10oBx to 50oBx) at a wide range of temperatures (from 10oC to 60 oC) was studied. The measurements were made using rotational rheometer (Brookfield Engineering Laboratories: model LVDV-II+ PRO). The investigation showed that the beetroot juice was Newtonian in behaviour and the viscosity was changed from 0.77...
A study was performed aimed at evaluating the method of sample grinding and its effect on the results of the analysis using the method of near infrared spectrometry. The object of the analysis was feed materials commonly used in animal feed manufacturing, such as cereal grain, wheat bran and high-protein materials (soybean meal). We also tested feed mixtures for poultry and pigs. Laboratory samples...
This paper describes a the effect of storage time on selected mechanical properties of potatoes, method for determining the impact strength and dynamic shear strength of potatoes on a test stand designed by the authors. The results of preliminary tests examining the effect of storage time on the average impact bending strength and shear strength values of potatoes cv. Irga are also presented. The...
The study is a result of research conducted in the environments of engineering and technical employees in industrial enterprises. The authors indicate the main dilemmas of modern entrepreneurship and innovation and present a development methodology based on a parallel increase in the adaptability of cultural and technological innovation. The authors have exposed a language and tool gap in the context...
Geotechnical centrifuge modelling has been a world-wide used technology in physical tests. In this papers a derivation of scaling laws by dimensional analysis for the centrifugal modelling is presented. Basic principles of centrifuge modelling are described. Scaling laws for slow events like consolidation and fast events like dynamic loads are shown. The differences in scale factors for both processes...
In Poland at the end of 2013 was completed implementation of the European Vertical Refrence Frame EVRF2007 in the country. This frame is the result of twenty years of works of the Subcommittee EUREF IAG. The paper in a condensed way describes the successive stages of development of the EVRF2007 frame in order to allow the readers to understand its essence. In the first part of the work are given definitions...
Selected physical attributes of European larch seeds harvested from 2 seed plantations and 2 commercial seed stands in north-eastern Poland were determined. The physical properties of seeds were measured, and the results were used to calculate indicators of seed weight and the frictional and geometric properties of seeds. Physical attributes and indicators were compared by Student’s t-test for independent...
The article presents the results of reinforced concrete beams modeling under short-term loading with the use of the ANSYS Mechanical software. The obtained parameters were compared with the experimental ones. The comparison showed a satisfactory concordance of the parameters. In case of the discrepancies, the authors suggest that they are due to the idealization of material properties and structural...
To improve fitting of numerical results to experimental data, in the past, distances between nodes were decreased for whole mesh. A typical mesh generator for Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis ensures possibility to decrease distances between nodes for edges or surfaces of described geometries. Influence of local mesh refinement for a flat and round tensile specimen on fitting of numerical tensile...
The paper provides basic information on the description of sediment transport in the coastal zone of the sea. It explains the mechanisms of sediment movement under the influence of the waves and currents interactions, characteristic for the coastal zone. It presents models describing the movement of sediment in the regime of flat bottom, making their divided in accordance with the method of description...
This paper discusses a new approach to analyzing fluid flow through a granular bed. The analysis involves the determination of a set of geometric parameters characterizing a granular bed based on information about the location and diameter of all bed particles. The above task has been achieved with the use of the PathFinder numeric code developed by the authors. The study proposes a new algorithm...
A dynamic model of a truss telecommunication tower was developed. A viscoelastic absorber was proposed for reducing structural vibrations caused by wind. Small linear system vibrations were assumed. A finite element three-dimensional model was used to determine the damper viscoelastic parameters which guarantee the highest damping effectiveness. Simulation results indicate that a damper can reduce...
Issues concerning maintenance of transport telematics systems were presented in this paper. They normally operate under various conditions. They need to be reliable as they are required for transport processes to be uninterrupted. Make sure key reliability and maintenance parameters are sustained is on of chief issues. Up to this point, the authors carried out reliability and maintenance analyses...
In this paper we briefly review the mathematical models used to describe the bathymetry changes in time and space. Overview of the models was carried out with particular emphasis on the problems encountered during the nonlinear equation solution, commonly used to describe the morphology of the bottom in the coastal zone of the sea. In contrast to the commonly used approach, it is proposed a linear...
Selected physical properties of Scots pine seeds harvested from five plantations in north-eastern Poland were determined. Seed color was determined in a sensory analysis, and seeds were classified into one of four color groups: black, brown, gray or other. The results of measurements were used to calculate indicators of seed weight and seeds’ frictional and geometric properties. Physical attributes...
In the article a sensitivity analysis of linear and nonlinear terms in the Kozeny-Carman and Ergun equations was shown. In the first case the impact of the porosity, tortuosity, specific surface of the porous body and the model constant was investigated. In the second case the porosity, the particle diameter and the sphericity function were taken into account. To express the model sensitivity by numbers,...
The present study determined the effect of preliminary hydrothermal depolymerization and enzymatic hydrolysis of Miscanthus giganteus biomass on the yield of methane fermentation in terms of the quantity and composition of biogas produced. Enzymatic hydrolysis of the substrate led to an increase in the volume of biogas produced from 0.12 dm3/g substrate in the samples without enzymes to 0.17 dm3/g...
