15 The Effect of Filler Orientation and Distribution on the Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Graphene Based Polymer Nanocomposites Authors: Praveen Rajamani, Róbert Boros Acta Technica Jaurinensis 2019/Sep/29 (0 downloads) Abstract The aim of my proposed study is to develop an alternative production technique of graphene via in-situ exfoliation of graphite in the hosting polymer matrix. The production process is carried out by an alternative top-down production technique for graphene-based polymer nanocomposites called ‘pressing and folding’ (P&F), via in situ exfoliation of expanded graphite (EG) inside the hosting linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) matrix. In this way, the properties of the samples containing different wt % of EG is studied as a function of P&F cycles, corresponding to EG exfoliation and distribution throughout the matrix volume. The results confirm that the EG particles was exfoliated completely and increasingly distributed in LLDPE with the number of cycles, and mainly oriented on the plane of the samples. This find was confirmed by a low in-plane resistivity was found for samples prepared between 50 and 150 cycles.

13 Pinpoint Loading Examinations of Poly(lactic acid) Biopolymers Authors: Luca Kotrocz, Péter Bakonyi Acta Technica Jaurinensis 2019/Sep/29 (0 downloads) Abstract We have made a new mounting unit for Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) equipment, suitable for measuring microhardness and indentation, and examined its usability on thermoplastic poly(lactic acid) (PLA) material. We used a Vickers-type microhardness indenter, and examined the dimensions of the indented area and the loading force. This novel unit is suitable for measuring the short and long-term behavior of the material using pinpoint load not only at room temperature (20-23 °C) – like common hardness tests – but at a wide range of temperatures.

16 Halal Meat Supply Chain Traceability based on HACCP, Blockchain and Internet of Things Authors: Abderahman Rejeb Acta Technica Jaurinensis 2019/Sep/29 (0 downloads) Abstract Recently, Halal food has drawn remarkable attention of many consumers around the world. Besides to being unsafe, Halal food such as meat can encounter several issues throughout its supply chain and logistics. At any time, Halal integrity is not guaranteed and risks of becoming non-Halal is the major concern of all parties along the supply chain. To respond to Muslim consumers’ trust concerns in Halal food, many traceability systems were proposed in previous studies based on emerging technologies and recommended to be incorporated into Halal food supply chains. Nevertheless, all of these systems are centralized, opaque and not enough transparent. To mitigate these problems, blockchain technology is introduced as a ground-breaking innovation with greater decentralization, visibility and transparency. This paper makes a major contribution in suggesting Halal meat supply chain traceability system for real-time food tracing based on embedding Islamic dietary law into HACCP, blockchain and Internet of Things.

16 Defining the Temperature Change of the Brake Disc Authors: Melinda Menyhártné Baracskai Acta Technica Jaurinensis 2019/Sep/29 (0 downloads) Abstract In the article the thermal analysis of the brake disc and separator disc of a high performance power machine will be presented. As example an agricultural vehicle with weight of 30000 kg and maximum travel speed of 40 km/h will be taken. At stopping the vehicle, the braking system located in the wheel body becomes activated. The traversing of the piston forces the brake discs to friction. Therefore significant amount of heat is generated, which needs to be derived from the system. The article presents the construction of the disc brake system. Providing boundary condition, the radial temperature change of the cooled part of the brake disc will be defined.

15 Parallel Numerical Creation of Phase-space Diagrams of Nonlinear Systems Using Maple Authors: Flóra Hajdu, Győző Molnárka Acta Technica Jaurinensis 2019/Sep/29 (0 downloads) Abstract In this paper the numerical creation of phase-plane diagrams in parallel utilizing Maple is presented. One of the most effective method for studying nonlinear systems is the creation of detailed enough phase-plane diagrams. But in the case of large systems it requires huge amount of numerical calculation, which can be accelerated using parallel computers. Here we show some attempts for this using moderate size known problems. We demonstrate that detailed diagrams can be created fast and efficiently with a SIMD model based algorithm even using simple PC-s. We exhibit that the parallel algorithm taken for one- and two-dimensional problems can be expanded for 3D phase-space diagram creation without any loss of efficiency. In this paper a methodology is showed which can be followed in the study of large dynamical systems as well. Keywords: parallel computing, SIMD, Maple, numerical analysis, nonlinear system modeling
18 Uniaxial Tension of a Filament-wound Composite Tube at Low Temperature Authors: Gyula Szabó, Károly Váradi Acta Technica Jaurinensis 2019/Sep/29 (0 downloads) Abstract The aim of this article is to model mechanical behavior of a filament-wound, rubber-based composite tube subjected to uniaxial tension at low temperature by test experiments and FE simulations. Uniaxial tensile tests at sub-zero temperature (-40 °C) have been carried out on standard test specimens and on hose pieces. furthermore, a uniaxial tensile test has been performed on a hose piece at room temperature as a reference experiment. Reinforcement layers of the composite tube are modeled as transversely isotropic, whereas elastomer liners are described by 2 parameter Mooney-Rivlin hyperelastic material model. Temperature-dependence of elastic constants of composite layers is attributed to the temperature-dependence of rubber, so uniaxial tensile tests on standard test specimens needed to be carried out for determining material properties of rubber at sub-zero temperature (-40°C). Force-displacement results of FE models and experiments of standard test specimen and hose piece show good agreement. Likewise, force-displacement curves of reference experiment (carried out at room temperature) and its related FE simulation are in good agreement with each other. Slope of force-displacement curves of hose piece at -40 °C is nearly 3.4 times the slope of force-displacement curves of hose piece at room temperature. Keywords: filament-wound composite tube, rubber-based tube, FE model, uniaxial tension, tensile test, material properties at -40 °C, sub-zero temperature

14 Determination of Safety Factors for Mango Fruit Paperboard Transport Crates under Refrigerated Conditions Authors: Bernd Sadlowsky, Viktoria Köstner, Margot Mazur, Sina-Kristin Thun, Péter Böröcz Acta Technica Jaurinensis 2019/Sep/29 (0 downloads) Abstract The use of corrugated board packaging is very popular in most industry sectors, but the food industry is one of the main consumers. Special requirements are placed on corrugated board in the food industry since the level of humidity necessary may be as high as 85-90% rH and this can greatly influence on the performance of the packaging. This influencing circumstance is taken into account in this paper when estimating a safety factor aimed at reducing risk. Knowing the safety factor can save transport and material costs, and can also prevent serious damage during the distribution of goods. The aim of this study is to determine the influence of humidity, pre-compression and load carriers on the stability of corrugated board mango fruit crates and thus to determine the safety factor. The results show that it is possible to calculate the safety factor by measuring realistic static stresses. Further researches into determining the dynamic stresses are required so as completing the calculation of the safety factor. Keywords: safety factor, corrugated board, mango fruit crate
14 Series of Experiments with Thermal Insulation Coatings Consisted of Vacuum-Hollow Nano-Ceramic Microspheres Authors: David Bozsaky Acta Technica Jaurinensis 2019/Sep/29 (0 downloads) Abstract Because of the rigorous regulations in the 21st century it has become a serious task for designers to find more effective ways for thermal insulation. One of these options is the application of nanotechnology-based materials. Among nano-scale structured materials the most uncertainties are found about the thermal insulating quality of thermal insulation coatings consisted of vacuum-hollow nano-ceramic microspheres. Complete agreement had not been already found about the mechanism of their insulating effect. In order to explore and describe the thermodynamic process inside nano-ceramic coatings (NCC) 6 series of heat transfer resistance experiments were performed in 2014-2017. Several building structure configurations with 12 different orders of layers were tested with a standard heat flow meter. On basis of these results it could be concluded that in case of nano-structured materials convective heat transfer coefficient might be taken account in different way than in case of traditional macro-structured thermal insulation materials.
