Knowledge-based functional safety management using ProSIL software
PublikacjaIn the article the ProSIL software for computer aided functional safety management is presented. The software consists of three modules for the determination of the required SIL level (ProSILen) and verification of the SIL level (ProSILver). In the ProSIL the calibrated knowledge-based risk graph method for determining the required safety integrity level (SIL) of the safety functions identified in hazard analysis is implemented....

THE ROLE OF THIN FUNCTIONAL LAYERS IN SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELLS
PublikacjaWidespread commercialization of solid oxide fuel cells requires lowering its cost. It is generally accepted that to lower the cost of solid oxide fuel cells it is necessary to use metal alloys as interconnectors and, consequently, lower its operating temperature to slow down interconnectors degradation. As a result the area specific resistance of the cathodes should be lowered to sustain the performance of the cells. In order to...

Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Microporous Polyurethanes Modified with Reduced Graphene Oxide
PublikacjaMicroporous polyurethanes (MPU) were modified by adding 0.25%–1.25 wt% of reduced graphene oxide (RGO). The materials were prepared without solvent via in situ polymerization. From a technological point of view, it is very important to obtain functional materials by using reacting compounds only. The thermal characteristics of obtained MPU were investigated using TGA, DSC, and DMA techniques. In comparison to nonmodified microporous...

A Qualitative Study on Non-functional Requirements in Agile Software Development
PublikacjaWidespread use of agile software development (ASD) methods can be observed nowadays. Non-functional requirements (NFRs) are often reported to be a problematic issue for agile projects, since ASD methods tend to neglect NFRs while focusing on incremental delivery of functional features. Despite that, only very few studies have explored the requirements engineering practices used in ASD and dedicated particularly to NFRs. Objective:...

Influence of Surface-Modified Montmorillonite Clays on the Properties of Elastomeric Thin Layer Nanocomposites
PublikacjaIn recent years, polyurethane nanocomposites have attracted more attention due to the massive demand for materials with increasingly exceptional mechanical, optical, electrical, and thermal properties. As nanofillers have a high surface area, the interaction between the nanofiller and the polymer matrix is an essential issue for these materials. The main aim of this study is to validate the impact of the montmorillonite nanofiller...

Functional safety and security assessment of the control and protection systems
PublikacjaW artykule zostały poruszone kluczowe aspekty integracji podejścia bezpieczeństwa funkcjonalnego ''safety'' i ochrony informacji ''security'' w rozproszonych systemach sterowania i zabezpieczeniowych. Próba integracji zagadnień ''safety'' @ ''security'' została zilustrowana na przykładzie systemu monitoringu i zabezpieczeń pracującego w obiekcie podwyższonego ryzyka.

Numerical methods for systems of nonlinear differential functional equations
PublikacjaPraca dotyczy zagadnień początkowo brzegowych dla nieliniowych układów różniczkowo funkcyjnych. Rozważana jest aproksymacja rozwiązań rozważanego problemu różniczkowo funkcyjnego przez rozwiązania odpowiedniego problemu różnicowego. W pracy analizowana jest zbieżność prezentowanych metod. Dowód zbieżności opiera się na technice porównawczej z nieliniowym oszacowaniem typu Perron'a dla danych operatorów.

Implicit difference methods for parabolic functional differential equations.
PublikacjaPraca dotyczy przybliżania rozwiązań quasiliniowych parabolicznych równań różniczkowo-funkcyjnych za pomocą schematów różnicowych, uwikłanych ze względu na zmienną czasową. Wykonano pełną analizę zbieżności metod i pokazano na przykładzie, że nowe metody są istotnie lepsze od schematów jawnych. Dowód stabilności oparty jest na metodzie porównawczej z nieliniowymi oszacowaniami typu Perrona. Otrzymane wyniki można zastosować do...

Antiperiodic boundary value problems for functional differential equations
PublikacjaRównania różniczkowo funkcyjne z antyokresowymi warunkami brzegowymi są przedmiotem rozważań tej pracy. Podane zostały warunki dostateczne na istnienie jedynego rozwiązania, które jest granicą dwóch monotonicznych ciągów. Szybkość tej zbieżności jest również określona. Metoda dowodzenia oparta jest na metodzie kwasilinearyzacji. Otrzymano również pewne wyniki dotyczące problemów liniowych.

Periodic boundary value problems for functional differential equations
PublikacjaPrzedmiotem badań były równania różniczkowo-funkcyjne dość ogólnej postaci z warunkami brzegowymi typu okresowego. Podano warunki dostateczne na istnienie jedynego rozwiązania (zerowego) odpowiedniego zagadnienia liniowego z okresowymi warunkami brzegowymi. Te wyniki zostały wykorzystane aby pokazać, że odpowiednio skonstruowane ciągi monotoniczne są jednostajnie zbieżne do jedynego, w pewnym segmencie, rozwiązania zagadnienia...
