CONSTRUCTION OF THE TEST STAND FOR TESTING THE SEAT BACK OF BOAT AND YACHT ARMCHAIRS BASED ON THE ABYC STANDARDS
Journal Title: Journal of Machine Construction and Maintenance - Year 2018, Vol 110, Issue 3
Abstract
Polish standards do not specify the research of yacht and boat armchairs that should be carried out before the introduction of a new armchair construction to the sales market. The only available standard that describes the method of testing boat and yacht armchairs is the “ABYC H-31 – Seat Structures” standard. The tests included in this standard are divided into several types of tests. The tests concern, among others, back and bottom seat tests. The article presents the requirements and methodology of testing the backs of armchairs intended for boats and yachts. The requirements are discussed based on the ABYC-H31 standards. The construction of a test stand for testing armchair backs is also presented. The article also contains exemplary results of the study of the armchair back of one of the prototype solutions of yacht armchair.

TUNGSTEN DOPED TiB2 COATINGS OBTAINED BY MAGNETRON SPUTTERING
The aim of the work was to investigate the possibilities of shaping the properties of TiB2 coatings by doping with tungsten, which create hard boron phases (e.g., WB2, WB4, and W2B5). The coatings were produced by a DC m...
