Tested mechanical components were safety critical and they create one complex mechatronics component. In addition to maintaining functional safety, the modernization of set of test machines has brought about better planning and the use of test machines and utilization of machine time. Designed and realised information system as temporary solution was cost effective solution for four years and it prepared the purchasing a new final testing solution in the production plant. The presented modernization solution is also a good example of the cooperation of the university and the production plant.","PeriodicalId":186085,"journal":{"name":"2020 24th International Conference Electronics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129696021","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}

Manufacturers need to preform ATs on the prototype of the product to anticipate its reliability and lifetime. The requirements for higher reliability impose tests of DUT's materials and components in advance. ATs expose products to different stressing environments, which include Electrical Stress, Mechanical Vibration, Temperature Shock, Temperature Cycling, Humidity, and others. An AT profile consists of different parameters, which depend on the DUT, and the most common are: a type of stress, rate of change, stress extreme points. Although these tests are accelerated, they are still time consuming. Furthermore, for large and complex DUTs, the test reliability itself can be doubted due to the involved diversity and uncertainty. In this paper, different experimental methods are applied to optimize the virtual test parameters to obtain reliable results.","PeriodicalId":186085,"journal":{"name":"2020 24th International Conference Electronics","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125744801","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}

Such generators are used as sources of short (tenths of a nanosecond) pulses. The latter are the basis for: measuring instruments, impact excitation of ultra-wideband antennas of radar sensors, radar of underground sounding and other purposes. To enable a comprehensive analysis of elements the system of differential algebraic equations is solved. The Equations are written for Kirchhoff's laws, describing the “behavior” of currents and voltages of discrete circuit elements, and the parasitic inductors and capacitors also. This is caused by strong influence of parasitic components on transients in the circuit, operating in the time range of less than a nanosecond, which is equivalent to the gigahertz frequencies and higher. The obtained solutions made it possible to reveal the influence of the nominal values of the generator circuit elements on its output resistance. Adjusting the output resistance of the generator to a value close to the characteristic resistance of the line, through which the pulses of the generator are transmitted to the load, maximize the transmission of power to the load and eliminate masking of the useful signal by pulses of re-reflections in the line.","PeriodicalId":186085,"journal":{"name":"2020 24th International Conference Electronics","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131683472","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 optimum operation parameters of combine harvester were identified through range and variance analysis. The field experiment results showed that the effect level of the four factors was: moisture content > threshing cylinder rotation speed > operation speed > concave clearance. Through simulating the optimization equation, the best parameter combination under the field experiment condition was obtained: 6 km/h - operation speed, 900 r/min - threshing cylinder rotation speed, 15 mm - concave clearance, 14.4 % - moisture content and 0.72 % - crushing rate as the minimum value.","PeriodicalId":186085,"journal":{"name":"2020 24th International Conference Electronics","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132876651","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}
