Determination of Energy Losses of the Crank Press Mechanism

This paper focuses on determining the friction energy loss in the mechanism of a mechanical crank press. After defining the crank press mechanism and how it works, we describe the energy balance of a technological operation—forming. Four distinct methodologies for calculating friction loss in the mechanism are then presented, namely an empirical method, a spreadsheet calculation utilising force decomposition in a crank mechanism, an analytical calculation of the dynamic behaviour of a press, and a multibody simulation. Each additional approach expands the possibilities for approaching reality, but as the primary aim of the study is to compare the approaches, these possibilities are not exploited. Multibody simulation has proved itself to be accurate and suitable for simulating press mechanisms and investigating their dynamics. Multibody simulation is a much more powerful tool that can lead to a digital twin, which can help us to develop a less energy-demanding press. Confirmation of the multibody simulation results is the main outcome of the comparison and will be used in future work

Solid-phase synthesis and analysis of 3,6-dihydro-2H-1,2-oxazines in their stereo- and regioisomer mixtures

3,6-Dihydro-2H-1,2-oxazines were synthesised via solid-phase synthesis to afford mixtures of stereo- and regioisomers. The analytical conditions for the analysis of the isomer ratio suitable for checking of reaction conditions of possible stereoselective synthesis were developed with the use of HPLC including chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on chiral polysaccharide derivatives immobilized on a silica support. It was found that those CSPs based on an amylose backbone were more efficient than those based on cellulose for the molecules investigated. Additionally, analytical samples without complete purification could be separated under the same conditions. The asymmetric induction causing the difference in the stereoisomer ratio was observed, when an oxazine ring was built up directly on a chiral moiety. A chiral aminoacid separated from the construction site by an achiral aromatic ring did not influence the ratio of stereoisomers. The analytical conditions developed were thus verified for use in the optimisation of the regio- and stereoselective synthesis of 3,6-dihydro-2H-1,2-oxazines. The conditions are suitable for solid-phase synthesis methodology often used in high throughput synthesis of biologically active compounds

Redukcja zanieczyszczenia podczas obróbki kompozytów

Machining of composite materials through classical way, i.e. using conventional tools for turning, drilling, milling, grinding and polishing, produces a lot of very small particles - dust. These particles enter the air, because machining should be performed with a minimum of sprinkling to protect composite material properties and to avoid delamination or swelling. Sometimes, even some burning of epoxide used as binder takes place during machining. Dust produced during machining of the composite material might have negative impact on health and may cause explosion. Skin inflammation or inhalation of the toxic epoxide resin, are some of the examples. Common solution of this problem is suction of particles and fume using machines creating negative pressure. Subsequent removing of these harmful substances from air is quite demanding and expensive. Moreover, using of common suction systems is many times less efficient than declared by producers.This contribution presents a new way of fighting with pollution caused by composite machining. The alternative machining tool for composite machining is abrasive water jet (AWJ). This tool is efficient in all basic machining processes and produces in air only about 1% of dangerous pollution comparing to classical tools. Progress of the AWJ machining system based on robot as a movement device is presented and the first results are commented. The main attention is aimed at machining quality possibilities. However, a part of the contemporary research focused on pollution suppression is also presented in the contribution.Obróbka materiałów kompozytowych klasycznym sposobem, tj. przy użyciu konwencjonalnych narzędzi do toczenia, wiercenia, frezowania, szlifowania i polerowania, powoduje powstawanie bardzo małych cząstek – pyłu. Cząsteczki te dostają się do powietrza, ponieważ obróbkę należy wykonywać przy minimalnym zraszaniu, aby chronić właściwości materiału kompozytowego i uniknąć rozwarstwienia lub pęcznienia. Stosowana jest również obróbka epoksydu stosowanego jako spoiwo. Pył powstający podczas obróbki materiału kompozytowego może mieć negatywny wpływ na zdrowie i spowodować wybuch. Zapalenie skóry lub wdychanie toksycznej żywicy epoksydowej to tylko niektóre z przykładów. Powszechnym rozwiązaniem tego problemu jest odsysanie cząstek i oparów za pomocą maszyn wytwarzających podciśnienie. Usunięcie tych szkodliwych substancji z powietrza jest dość wymagające i kosztowne. Co więcej, stosowanie popularnych systemów ssących jest wielokrotnie mniej wydajne niż deklarowane przez producentów. W artykule przedstawiono nowy sposób walki z zanieczyszczeniami powodowanymi przez obróbkę kompozytową. Alternatywnym sposobem do obróbki kompozytów jest ścieranie strumieniem wody (AWJ). Ten sposób jest wydajny we wszystkich podstawowych procesach obróbki i powoduje powstawanie w powietrzu tylko około 1% niebezpiecznych zanieczyszczeń w porównaniu do klasycznych narzędzi. Przedstawiono postępy systemu obróbki AWJ opartego na robocie jako urządzeniu ruchowym i komentowano pierwsze wyniki. Główna uwaga skupiona jest na możliwościach obróbki strumieniem wody. Przedstawiono również inne współczesne badania koncentrujące się na zmniejszaniu tłumieniu zanieczyszczeń z procesu obróbki kompozytów

Non-Catalyzed Click Reactions of ADIBO Derivatives with 5-Methyluridine Azides and Conformational Study of the Resulting Triazoles.

Copper-free click reactions between a dibenzoazocine derivative and azides derived from 5-methyluridine were investigated. The non-catalyzed reaction yielded both regioisomers in an approximately equivalent ratio. The NMR spectra of each regioisomer revealed conformational isomery. The ratio of isomers was dependent on the type of regioisomer and the type of solvent. The synthesis of various analogs, a detailed NMR study and computational modeling provided evidence that the isomery was dependent on the interaction of the azocine and pyrimidine parts

Efficient Route to Deuterated Aromatics by the Deamination of Anilines

One-step replacement of NH₂ groups in ring-substituted anilines by deuterium is reported. Approaches comprising both solid-phase and solution-phase syntheses can be used on a large variety of substrates. The method uses diazotization in a mixture of water and either dichloromethane or chloroform, which serve as a source of hydrogen. This protocol can be used as a general method for fast and easy incorporation of deuterium into an aromatic system using deuterated chloroform
