The aim of this article is to analyze the environmental disclosures of non-financial information presented in the selected Polish banks in terms of meeting the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) guidelines. The ESRS reporting standards, adopted by the European Commission in July 2023, not only introduced an increase in the scope of reporting but also clearly defined the information...
The article details the data obtained from monitoring the photovoltaic (PV) system in 2021-2023, equipped with a module for measuring basic weather parameters. The PV system under consideration, with a peak output of 3.2 kWp, is connected to the electricity grid and is mounted on the flat roof of the building. The annual relative yields of the generated energy were about 10% less than estimated, and...
The paper presents a new method of analysis of a controlled radius (CR). The presented method was verified based on simulations of coordinate measurements and during real measurements conducted on the selected coordinate measuring machine (CMM) – ACCURA II. In addition, the investigations were conducted by means of the Calypso metrology software and the Python programming environment. Computer simulations...
This manuscript concerns the investigation of the influence of the open hole on stability of the compression plate made of carbon-epoxy composite. Experimental tests carried out on the real plate resulted in a postcritical path from which the critical load value was determined using appropriate approximation method. In parallel, an independent study was carried out based on a numerical analysis using...
The paper presents issues related to shaping the topography of the grinding wheel as a result of the impact of a stationary multipoint diamond dresser. The result of the dressing process with diamond multipoint dressers is influenced by the dressing feed, the effective width of the individual diamonds and the distance between the diamonds measured along the dressing feed direction. The paper presents...
This article presents research on the influence of an electric arc on the properties and structure of a traction section guide made of ETP (Electrolytic Tough Pitch) copper in a segment insulator of a railway section. An electrical discharge occurring during use, which may accompany the passage of the pantograph current collector between adjacent guides, may cause many physical phenomena. In addition...
The article presents the results of the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) research on a vertical axis wind turbine with a variable swept area. The tested turbine has four sets of blades, each of which consists of two moving parts. By changing the angle between these parts, it is possible to change the swept area of the turbine wheel to adjust the characteristics of the turbine to the current wind...
The research shows how to use swarming algorithms to rebuild the heat transfer coefficient, especially in regard to the continuous border condition. The authors utilized their application software to do numerical computations, employing classical variants of swarm algorithms. The numerical calculations employed a functional determining error to assess the accuracy of the estimated result. The functional...
Austenitic stainless steels are widely used in industry, from heavy industry and power generation to precision mechanics and electronics, accounting for about 2/3 of the stainless steels produced. The stability of austenite influences the properties and behaviour of these steels during deformation and annealing. This paper presents the results of research into austenitic metastable phase X5CrNi1810...
In the present study, micromechanical modeling techniques were employed to examine the mechanical properties of a hemp/clay composite material. This composite consists of hemp fibers incorporated into a clay matrix, a configuration chosen in response to environmental considerations and the natural advantages of hemp fibers, which include their lightweight nature and their considerable strength and...
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology is one of the rapidly growing techniques used for producing various complicated configurations without the need for any tools or continuous human intervention. However, a low quality of surfaces results for the layered production used in FDM. It is essential to investigate a suitable method for enhancing the accuracy and quality associated with FDM parts...
The progression of the industry, alongside the continuous enhancement of operational efficiency and the reduction of production costs, is paving the way for novel solutions in the realm of storage and transportation systems. The incorporation of new technologies and solutions, such as mobile robots, has culminated in the establishment of Smart Warehouses. It facilitates the reduction of non-value...
The purpose of the present study is to simulate erosion on the aluminium plate with a cylindrical hole caused by solid particles after passing through 90° elbow, using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the Discrete Phase Model (DPM), and erosion equations. Discrete trajectories of solid particles are calculated using the Lagrangian approach, while the simulation of the fluid was obtained by...
This study leverages machine learning to analyze the cross-sectional profiles of materials subjected to wire-rolling processes, focusing on the specific stages of these processes and the characteristics of the resulting microstructural profiles. The convolutional neural network (CNN), a potent tool for visual feature analysis and learning, is utilized to explore the properties and impacts of the cold...
Magnesium alloys are very interesting engineering materials because of their high strength-to-density ratio. On the other hand, they are characterized by low hardness as well as low erosion resistance. Because of these reasons, their applications in the industry are very limited. The article presents the results of the high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying of the hard cermet coatings onto AZ31 magnesium...
The paper is focused on providing strength and stiffness for circuit cards exposed to vibration at critical frequencies. Since the dry friction damping is more effective than viscous damping and in case when application of viscous dampers is restricted by electronic package design the dry friction damper is proposed to be embedded to design of enclosure case in order to reduce oscillation amplitudes...
Inconel 718 super alloy is suitable for components exposed to high temperatures and demanding high strength; it is one of the hardest alloys to machine by conventional processes due to its properties. Nano Powder mixed electrical discharge machining is one of the most sophisticated processes to produce precise three dimensional complicated forms of hard metals through a thermo-physical process, so...
Both dispersed and concentrated shot peening can be an effective method for the finishing of machine components. This work investigates the effect of two different shot peening (SP) processes conducted with the same technological parameters on selected properties of the surface layer of gray cast iron EN-GJL 250. Specifically, regular shot peening (RSP) and semi-random shot peening (SRSP) were investigated...
In the article, a modification of Formal Model of Risk Analysis FoMRA was proposed. The Modified FoMRA (1) method takes into account the guidelines of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27005 standards. The applied modification and abstraction by resources and security controls (also called countermeasures) significantly shortened the time of risk weight calculation in comparison with the MEHARI method. An...
Tensile test under quasi-static loads conditions is usually used to determine the mechanical strength of thermoplastic starch films. This kind of test does not fully illustrate the load conditions for packaging films, which, under the conditions of use, are succumb to dynamic loads. Thus, the aim of the study was to present the possibilities of using a patented soft tissues measurement testing station...
