MECART – A SPECIAL PROJECT
Journal Title: Journal of Industrial Design and Engineering Graphics - Year 2015, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper presents a new project, called “MecArt”, developed at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University "POLITEHNICA" of Timişoara. MecArt started as a contest for students and pupils from Timişoara, passionate about graphics, painting, sculpture or poetry, but also being attracted to Mechanical Engineering. The authors have conducted the 3D Modeling section of the contest. This was a teaching challenge, because the participants were not required to have any prior knowledge of a 3D modeling software. The paper highlights the multiple facets of the MecArt project and its results.

UNFOLDING METHODS OF THE CYLINDRICAL SURFACES
The aim of this paper is to make a comparison between the classical methods of the descriptive geometry and mathematical methods, for obtain the unfolding of cylinders. We establish the intersection curves between cylind...
AGRICULTURAL FIELD IRRIGATION SOLUTION BASED ON VENTURI NOZZLE MODEL
There are situations when the agricultural field irrigation requires water retrieved from the medium or deep groundwater reserves. For this solution submersible pumps are needed in order to take over the water from a cer...
FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF STRESSES DISTRIBUTIONS ON THE SHAFTS AND THE HOUSING OF A HELICAL GEAR REDUCER
The design of helical speed reducer is mainly a process based on analytical and empirical equations. The complexity of the product imposes a big number of empirical factors to be used in calculus, which often varies with...
METHODS FOR SOLVING THE INTERSECTION OF ROTATION AREAS WITH STRAIGHT LINES
Given the frequent practical use of rotation areas, the paper proposes to study the methods for solving and determining the intersection of these rotation areas with various pipes, assimilated to the straight line. The a...
MODELLING SYNERGISTIC EYE MOVEMENTS IN THE VISUAL FIELD
Some theoretical and practical considerations about eye movements in visual field are presented in the first part of this paper. These movements are developed into human body to be synergistic and are allowed to obtain t...
