Determination of the thermal conductivity of material dividing the metallic core elements of the bi-calorimeter using modified theory
PublicationW pracy przedstawiono zmodyfikowaną teorię bikalorymetru z dzielonym metalowym rdzeniem. Pomiędzy dwiema częściami rdzenia umieszczano próbki badanego ciała stałego lub gazu. Ogrzewano jedną stronę rdzenia. Mierzono temperaturę obu części rdzenia w funkcji czasu. Uzyskane wyniki umożliwiły wyznaczenie różnicy temperatur i strumienia ciepła, przepływającego przez próbkę. Z zastosowaniem prawa Fouriera obliczano współczynnik przewodności...

Defining the thermal conductivity of thermally heterogeneous hollow wall bricks used as elements for increasing the comfort of buildings
PublicationThe article presents numerical calculation analysis in the scope of determining thermal conductivity coefficientλeq[W/(m·K)] of thermally heterogeneous hollow bricks of thermally heterogeneous structure (a combinationof structural material with thermal insulation material). Numerical calculations were conducted by means ofprofessional software TRISCO-KOBRU 86, serving thermal circulation analysis in a 2D field in stationary approach.The...

The influence of the basic conditions of the forced feed of abrasive compound on the roughness of flat ceramic elements after lapping.
PublicationW docieraniu standardowym zawiesina ścierna dostarczana jest do strefy obróbki w sposób ciągły - zalewowo lub kroplowo, co generuje duże straty ścierniwa. W artykule opisano innowacyjny system dozowania i nanoszenia zawiesiny ściernej na powierzchnię żeliwnego docieraka tarczowego, który eliminuje tą wadę. W przeprowadzonych eksperymentach badano wpływ procentowej zawartości ziaren ściernych w nośniku oraz wielkość dawki zawiesiny...

Application of advanced spectroscopic methods in the assessment of the leachability degree of hazardous elements from the matrix of cellular concretea
PublicationDue to its structure, autoclaved cellular concrete exhibits good insulating properties with relatively high compressive strength values. It is increasingly used in construction because of its economic attractiveness. Autoclaved cellular concrete is mainly used in interior structure layers, and therefore its potential exposure to heavy metal leaching from the matrix may be related to the presence of a high pH medium from other materials...

Fe-modified Mn2CuO4 spinel oxides: coatings based on abundant elements for solid oxide cell interconnects
PublicationThe current state of the art steel interconnect coating materials are based on critical raw material - Co-oxide spinels. Replacing Co-oxide spinels with alternative, abundant materials can reduce the dependence on the critical raw materials. Cobalt-free coatings with the general formula Mn2-xCuFexO4, where x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, were electrophoretically deposited on a ferritic stainless-steel support and evaluated. Prior to deposition,...

New hybrid quadrature schemes for weakly singular kernels applied to isogeometric boundary elements for 3D Stokes flow
PublicationThis work proposes four novel hybrid quadrature schemes for the efficient and accurate evaluation of weakly singular boundary integrals (1/r kernel) on arbitrary smooth surfaces. Such integrals appear in boundary element analysis for several partial differential equations including the Stokes equation for viscous flow and the Helmholtz equation for acoustics. The proposed quadrature schemes apply a Duffy transform-based quadrature...

Two-dimensional simulations of concrete fracture at aggregate level with cohesive elements based on X-ray lCT images
PublicationThe paper presents results of two-dimensional meso-scale simulations of fracture in notched concrete beams subjected to three-point bending test. Concrete was assumed as a 4-phase material composed of aggregate grains placed in the cement matrix, interfacial transitional zones (ITZs) and macro-voids. The particle distribution was taken from real concrete beams on the basis of X-ray lCT images. Comprehensive numerical analyses were carried...
