Purpose: To carry out the transition from a cylindrical gear in which the centroids are congruent ellipses with centres of rotation in the foci, to a bevel gear on the basic of congruent spherical ellipses. Design/methodology/approach: Congruent ellipses with centres of rotation in the foci serve as centroids for the design of cylindrical gears with non-circular wheels. The article analytically shows...

Design/methodology/approach: The compaction and strength characteristics of CCA were observed by conducting Proctor compaction and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests. Different...
Purpose: This experiment aims to determine the influence of pouring temperature on the hardness, impact energy, tensile strength, and changes in the microstructure of the Al-5.9Cu- 1.9Mg alloy. Design/methodology/approach: A total of three samples of aluminium alloy were heated to 688, 738, and 788°C, and poured into permanent moulds in form of plates at a constant temperature of 220°C. The cast products...
Purpose: The chip removal from the cutting zone of closed slots (T-shaped, "dovetail", etc.) is relevant since the repeated cutting of the chip with the blades of the tool teeth leads to a decrease in the resource of the cutting tool and processing accuracy. However, theoretical studies of the processes of filling, accumulation, and movement of the chip have not been considered. The purpose...
Purpose: Develop a method for determining and evaluating the stress-strain state, in particular the distribution of thermomechanical stresses in the materials of individual rotating parts of vehicles. Design/methodology/approach: The proposed method is based on the principle of gradual approximations of the solution when the boundary conditions are satisfied on the curvilinear limiting surfaces of...
Purpose: In building constructions, due to the decrease of local raw materials and for sustainability purpose, beside the need of light pieces to be used in roofing and false ceiling; an alkali-activated mortar is the new development where pozzolanic material is used instead of cement and activated by an alkaline solution. Therefore, in this research, alkali-activated mortar containing unexpanded...
