Optimization of the Induction Heating Process in Order to Achieve Uniform Surface Temperature
AbstractThe physics of the induction heating is based on coupling of the electromagnetism and heat transfer. The main heat source during induction heating is resistive heating caused by eddy currents in the heated specimen. The geometrical position of the inductors influences the final surface temperature distribution. There are many technological processes which require uniform surface temperature like process of induction hardening. The scope of the article is to show the numerical approach to optimize geometrical dimensions of the induction heating process in order to reach uniform surface temperature on heated specimen
Numerical analysis of stiffener for hybrid drive unite
The matter of this article is a stress-strain analysis of hybrid drive prototype unit connected directly to convention Concrete Transit Mixer Gearbox. The unite was developed with intention to do field test on existing convection machines with possibility to use existing interfaces. The hybrid drive unit consists from electric and hydrostatic motor connected through addition mechanical transmission gearbox. The question is if today standard interface is good enough or need additional support a “stiffener”. Two engineering design were analysed. The first one includes using the stiffener to fixate the construction of hybrid drive unite connected to the planetary gear. The second one is without the stiffener. For strain-stress analysis, a finite element software ANSYS Workbench was used
Static analysis of transmission tower beam structure
The main topic of this paper is a static analysis of transmission tower beam structure fixed to the earth. It contains facts necessary for a need to create and apply tower beam structures. Beam elements were used to design a model and a static analysis was performed in finite element program Ansys Workbench. Three types of analyses were applied. The modal analysis was applied to verify the model compatibility. The static analysis was applied to find maximal deformations and the bending moment caused by overhead conductors and self-weight. Eigenvalue buckling was applied to state a loss of stability. Finally, stability and suitability of the whole construction was considered
Use of the BOINC system for distributed data collection in the “Internet of Things”
The BOINC software package allows the creation of massive computational systems for distributed computing. The system is designed to use heterogeneous computing devices that are differing in hardware architecture and operating systems. The variability and versatility of the BOINC system allows its use to create a distributed system for measurement and data collection. This is done through the standard HTTP and HTTPS web communication protocol that is used on the Internet in connected devices, so called “Internet of things”

NUMERICAL STUDY OF INFLUENCE OF MUTUAL SLEWIG OF ROLLER BEARING RINGS ON THE PRINCIPAL STRESSES AT CONTACT AREA
Article deals with influence of mutual slewing of roller bearing rings
on the principal stresses and their distribution at the contact area. Profile of rolling element
is logarithmic. Roller bearing has been loaded by maximum specified load only in radial
direction according to the ISO/TS 16281. In practice, the real roller bearings are not loaded
only in the radial direction. Therefore, the angle alfa has been gradually slewed from alfa = 0' to 8'
and equivalent principal stresses have been evaluated. This change influenced on contact
conditions and contact stress distribution has changed
Experimental and computational comparative study of the specimens loaded by bending and torsion
The article presents the theoretical and computational analysis of the fatigue tested specimens loaded by bending and torsion. The testing device allows loading by constant turn of the clamping parts. The stress and strain magnitude in test depends on the material characteristics and shape of the specimen. The calculations are realized by finite element method (FEM). The obtained results are verified with the experimental measurement applying the optical system ARAMIS

Experimental casting of forging ingots from model material
The paper describes the process of casting ingots from the model material into a special mold made for these tests. The material was chosen stearin, which proved to be suitable for this type of laboratory test. During the solidification process of the ingot model under laboratory conditions, it was observed how gradually the layer formed on the contour of the casting. Gradual cooling of the ingot resulted in a decrease in the volume of the liquid phase in his body. The fog is readily observable by the naked eye and this is manifested by the formation of a gap between the ingot mold wall and the ingot body. A silicone oil has been used as a separating melt separating layer and the wall of the ingot that has reliably fulfilled this task. Casting was done in two ways, with a standing and lagging mold. The process of filling the cavity itself was to create conditions for the linear flow of the melt. Observation of the ingot after its solidification confirmed the fact that the filling of the cavity proceeded under such conditions in terms of the melt flow rate
