The analysis of the filament consisted in the analysis of the diameter of the produced filament, the distribution of the ceramic component in the produced filament, as well as the biological test of cytotoxicity after the extrusion process. In the analysis of the filament diameter, descriptive statistics were used to detect the thickness of the entire filament produced. Electron microscopy using SM and SEM modes was used to analyse the distribution of the ceramic component in the produced filament. The cytotoxicity biological assay was performed using the L929 cell line according to ISO 1099-5. The results of the filament diameter analysis show average values of pure PEEK of 1.7501 ± 0.032 mm and for PEEK with a ceramic component of 1.7503 ± 0.041 mm. Analysis of the distribution of the ceramic component showed irregular filler particles with a size of 1 to 2 μm in the produced filament. EDX analysis showed a distribution of calcium and silicon in the filament. The cytotoxicity assay showed higher values from the reference value using 100% and 75% extraction. From the presented analyses of the produced filament, it can be stated that the diameter of the filament meets the required quality for the 3D printing process. In terms of ceramic component distribution analysis, smaller clumps were detected but these clumps were evenly distributed in all samples. The cytotoxicity test showed that the extrusion process did not affect the cytotoxicity of the produced filament.","PeriodicalId":135905,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica Slovaca","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122548847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Where, analytical is difficult to calculate in computers so it uses numerical methods. That is nearer to exact values so we can determine behaviour of dynamical systems. Numerical simulation is static with different time, so analysis is easy for its. Numerical methods work on algorithms, so it is easy to evaluate for calculating in computers. For future aspects image correlation method is more helpful to determine behaviour of nonlinear dynamic system which will discretize system with different displacement and FEM analyses to dynamically nonlinear system.","PeriodicalId":135905,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica Slovaca","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123765058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The influence of PN on the corrosion resistance of selected material was investigated. The chemical composition of selected steel was verified using the Q4 TASMAN device. The PN process was performed using two stage nitriding procedure. After plasma cleaning procedure at 515 °C for 45 min in a nitriding atmosphere ratio 20H2:2N2 (l/h) was the first stage nitriding procedure performed at 520°C for 16 hours in a nitriding atmosphere ratio 25H2:5N2 (l/h) and followed by the second stage of nitriding procedure performed at 525°C for 4 hours in a nitriding atmosphere ratio 28H2:4N2 (l/h). The microstructure and mechanical properties of the nitride layers were studied using OES spectrometry, optical microscopy, and hardness testing. The depths of plasma nitride layers were also estimated using a cross-sectional microhardness profiles measurement. The corrosion resistance testing of PN stainless steel 1.4006 samples were carried out in a 5 % neutral sodium chloride solution (NSS) in accordance with ISO 9227 standard in the VLM GmbH SAL 400-FL corrosion chamber and visually evaluated.

This is due to the microstructural grain orientation and pore shape in SLM products. Therefore, depending on the direction of the pressure applied to the SLM product, a different manufacturing orientation is required to achieve the best mechanical properties. Changing the microstructural grain orientation is difficult through SLM, but a process to reduce the size and number of the pores can be discovered through different combinations of manufacturing parameters. In prosthodontics, pressure is usually applied in the vertical direction, which leads to compression and bending of crowns with bridges. The compressive load can be easily absorbed in the crowns, but the bending force has a significant effect here. Therefore, a product with high tensile strength and high ductility is needed to survive longer. Considering these requirements, this study determined the best parameters for laser processing by SLM method to reduce porosity and improve mechanical strength and ductility of Co-Cr-W-Si alloy products. The result is a relative product density of 100% for cubic specimens and a yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation at break of the tensile specimens of 900 MPa, 1200 MPa, and 15%, respectively, obtained in specimen build-up in the Z direction with a laser power of 60 W and a scanning speed of 450 mm/s.

This research modelled the temperature profile of the MOSFET chip with geometrical properties of the heat sink to which they are attached. The model was implemented in a MATLAB environment to obtained optimal heat sink parameters which was solved numerically with ANSYS and experimentally tested in a 1.6 kW inverter.
