EVOLUTION AS PHYSICS
Thermodynamics today is the physics domain in which three previously selfstanding lines of thinking merged to cover the broadest range of natural phenomena to date. The three lines were work-heat-design, or mechanics-cal...
THE CHEMISTRY OF THE RAW WATER TREATED BY AIR-JET ULTRASOUND GENERATOR
The paper presents the sonic treatment effect on the main chemical indicators of the raw water. Also, the paper presents the air-jet ultrasound generator and the experimental laboratory installation for sonic treatment,...
NONLINEAR ANALYSIS OF NORMAL HUMAN GAIT FOR DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES WITH APPLICATION TO BIPEDAL LOCOMOTION
The objective of this study is to quantify and investigate nonlinear motion of the normal human knee joint in different walking conditions using nonlinear analysis. The kinematic data of the human knee flexion-extension a...
OPTIMAL DESIGN OF TAPER ROLLER BEARING ARRANGEMENTS. PART I: OBJECTIVE FUNCTION
Contrasting previous works in this peculiar field, where bearing rolling elements deformations are regarded as the result of known loads − most likely obtained from the shaft static equilibrium, neglecting the bearing de...
DD3IMP, 3D FULLY IMPLICIT FINITE ELEMENT SOLVER: IMPLEMENTATION OF CB2001 YIELD CRITERION
The strategies and algorithms adopted in the fully implicit FE solver DD3IMP to model the orthotropic behavior of metallic sheets, as well the procedure for parameters’ identification, are the main focus of this work; a...
