    The continuing development of the multi-phase material concrete leads to an increased demand for the optimization of diamond impregnated tools. Because of high initial investment costs for diamond tools, not only the reduction of processing time, but also the reduction of tool wear is in the focus of interest. While some parameters like cutting speed can be controlled, other important parameters like the number of cutting diamonds are beyond our influence. To manage this randomness, simulation models for diamond and segment grinding are developed. In this work we will present two models for a segment grinding simulation. The first model is an extension of the simulation model proposed by Raabe et al. (2011) for single diamond scratching on basalt. Beside the goodness-of-fit, the simulation time is an essential factor in the development and choice of simulation models. The difficulties encountered while extending this model are discussed and we provide a solution to accelerate the workpiece simulation. In order to achieve a further reduction of simulation time, a second model is introduced under the assumption of pyramidal shaped diamonds. The simulation results are compared with single diamond experimental data and a feasibility study is performed for the segment setup

    The first volume of Archives of Data Science, Series A is a special issue of a selection of contributions which have been originally presented at the {\em 3rd Bilateral German-Polish Symposium on Data Analysis and Its Applications} (GPSDAA 2013). All selected papers fit into the emerging field of data science consisting of the mathematical sciences (computer science, mathematics, operations research, and statistics) and an application domain (e.g. marketing, biology, economics, engineering)

    Testing of Materials and Elements in Civil Engineering

    Get PDF
    This book was proposed and organized as a means to present recent developments in the field of testing of materials and elements in civil engineering. For this reason, the articles highlighted in this editorial relate to different aspects of testing of different materials and elements in civil engineering, from building materials to building structures. The current trend in the development of testing of materials and elements in civil engineering is mainly concerned with the detection of flaws and defects in concrete elements and structures, and acoustic methods predominate in this field. As in medicine, the trend is towards designing test equipment that allows one to obtain a picture of the inside of the tested element and materials. Interesting results with significance for building practices were obtained

    Mining Technologies Innovative Development

    The present book covers the main challenges, important for future prospects of subsoils extraction as a public effective and profitable business, as well as technologically advanced industry. In the near future, the mining industry must overcome the problems of structural changes in raw materials demand and raise the productivity up to the level of high-tech industries to maintain the profits. This means the formation of a comprehensive and integral response to such challenges as the need for innovative modernization of mining equipment and an increase in its reliability, the widespread introduction of Industry 4.0 technologies in the activities of mining enterprises, the transition to "green mining" and the improvement of labor safety and avoidance of man-made accidents. The answer to these challenges is impossible without involving a wide range of scientific community in the publication of research results and exchange of views and ideas. To solve the problem, this book combines the works of researchers from the world's leading centers of mining science on the development of mining machines and mechanical systems, surface and underground geotechnology, mineral processing, digital systems in mining, mine ventilation and labor protection, and geo-ecology. A special place among them is given to post-mining technologies research

    Tracing back the source of contamination

    From the time a contaminant is detected in an observation well, the question of where and when the contaminant was introduced in the aquifer needs an answer. Many techniques have been proposed to answer this question, but virtually all of them assume that the aquifer and its dynamics are perfectly known. This work discusses a new approach for the simultaneous identification of the contaminant source location and the spatial variability of hydraulic conductivity in an aquifer which has been validated on synthetic and laboratory experiments and which is in the process of being validated on a real aquifer
