Failure of cold-formed beam: How does residual stress affect stability?
PublikacjaIn machine industry, stresses are often calculated using simple linear FEM analysis. Occasional failures of elements designed in such a way require recomputation by means of more sophisticated methods, eg. including plasticity and non-linear effects. It usually leads to investigation of failure causes and improvement of an element in order to prevent its unwanted behavior in the future. The study presents the case where both linear...

Funkcjonowanie zespołów napędu hydraulicznego maszyn w niskich temperaturach otoczenia
PublikacjaW pracy przedstawiono cztery warianty klasyfikacji rozruchów oziębionego napędu hydraulicznego. Pierwsza sytuacja dotyczy zagadnienia, w którym wszystkie zespoły układu napędowego wraz z olejem mają taką samą niską temperaturę podczas rozruchu. Pozostałe warianty odnoszą się do rozruchu w warunkach szoku termicznego wywołanych zasilaniem ciepłym czynnikiem roboczym oziębionych zespołów hydraulicznych. Rozruch zespołów...

Hybrydowe modele i metody modelowania układów mechanicznych
PublikacjaW monografii przedstawiono metody modelowania układów mechanicznych umożliwiające uzyskanie odpowiednio dokładnych modeli niskiego rzędu. Jedną z nich jest dyskretno-ciągła metoda pryzm (DCMP). Łączy ona zalety metod modelowania układów ciągłych o parametrach rozłożonych i dyskretyzowanych przestrzennie o parametrach skupionych. Jej opis matematyczny wyprowadzono posługując się metodami sztywnych elementów skończonych i transmitancji...

HYDROSTATIC THRUST BEARING WITH REDUCED POWER LOSSES
PublikacjaIn many cases in rotating machinery, axial load is carried by tilting pad thrust bearings which have been developed since the beginning of 20th century. For high reliability and simplicity, most commonly the bearings are bath lubricated. In the times of sustainable development, however, minimization of friction losses becomes an important criterion for machinery assessment, and a strategic goal of their development. Performed calculations,...

Impacts in case of triple unilaterally constrained system
PublikacjaThe this paper focus on the behaviour of a “rigid” body biting into another “rigid” body, with some nonzero relative velocity. In the presently considered case, the introduced collision appears between a selected element of a multibody structure and its reference body being interpreted as the motionless ground. Instead of the classic case, described in a number of dissertations, where a single impacting contact is considered, three...

Improvement of Thrust Bearing Calculation Considering the Convectional Heating within the Space between the Pads
PublikacjaA modern thrust bearing tool is used to estimate the behavior of tilting pad thrust bearings not only in the oil film between pad and rotating collar, but also in the space between the pads. The oil flow in the space significantly influences the oil film inlet temperature and the heating of pad and collar. For that reason, it is necessary to define an oil mixing model for the space between the pads. In the bearing tool, the solutions...

INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE ON THE TYRE ROLLING RESISTANCE
PublikacjaTemperature is a very important factor controlling rolling resistance of road vehicle tyres. There are at least three different temperatures that may be considered as important factors controlling thermal conditions of the rolling tyre. The most common measure of the thermal conditions during tyre rolling is ambient air temperature. The other two are: pavement temperature and “tyre” temperature. Tyre temperature is the most difficult...

Metoda Poszukiwania Optymalnej Prędkości Obrotowej Wrzeciona Podczas Frezowania Przedmiotów Podatnych
PublikacjaW pracy zaproponowano nową metodę nadzorowania drgań podatnego przedmiotu obrabianego podczas frezowania, polegającą na doborze optymalnej prędkości obrotowej wrzeciona z uwzględnieniem częstotliwości drgań własnych przedmiotu. W tym celu opracowano oryginalne podejście do wyznaczania optymalnej prędkości obrotowej wrzeciona, bazujące na minimalizacji pracy sił skrawania na kierunku głębokości skrawania.
