This contribution focuses specifically on the properties of the top layer of soil which fundamentally influences the rainfall-runoff process, but the laboratory experimental proce-dures for the top-soil are very limited due to e.g. vegetation disturbing the experimental samples. The Richards equation describing the soil water flow process is here parameterised by the Mualem-van Genuchten model. The identification of the soil hydraulic parameters of this model is based on an in situ measurement of the single ring infiltration experiment. The experimental data and a priori information about parameters’ values are combined according to Bayes’ rule in order to obtain an updated probabilistic description of unknown parameters. The Bayesian inference is realized by the Markov chain Carlo method based on a less time-consuming polynomial approximation of the Mualem-van Genuchten model.","PeriodicalId":197313,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Mechanics 2019","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129285812","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}

Double inverted pendulum which is a combination of inverted pendulum and double pendulum makes the control problem more challenging. The purpose of this work was to design an optimal mechanical construction of a linear double inverted pendulum on a cart. Pendulums usually have the form of a freely attached rod to the cart moving in one dimension. The presented system assumes the functionality which ensures better efficiency. The main determinant of optimal parameters is the stabilization of the pendulum in vertical position and control of the position of the cart on the guide rail. The general concept outlined at the beginning presents the key elements necessary for the proper operation of the system. In some systems available in the literature and Internet, the engine moves with the cart, increasing the inertia forces acting on it. In the designed system, it was decided to fix the motor to the base. The engine in such a system should have the precise control and a high starting torque that allows stabilization of the pendulum. The presented conception base on the most optimal selection of all components.","PeriodicalId":197313,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Mechanics 2019","volume":"9 17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115795193","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}

Difference in behaviour of stainless steel and common carbon steel is generally known, but design of stainless steel members is established mainly for hollow sections (CHS, SHS/RHS) as these are typical stainless steel profiles. Currently, open sections are also being used in structures and the design rules for both local buckling of very slender section as well as lateral-torsional buckling curves are based on very limited experimental and numerical research especially cross section Class 4. For this reason, six beams made of two types of stainless steel with different slenderness for lateral-torsional buckling were tested. Additionally, numerical GMNIA models of these beams are successfully validated. A parametric study based on the validated models will be used for development of a new accurate and safe design procedure.","PeriodicalId":197313,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Mechanics 2019","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116090852","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}

With the integral transformation method the problem is reduced to a vector boundary problem, where the unknown vector consists of the displacement`s transforms. The solution of vector boundary problem is constructed with the help of matrix differential calculations and has the unknown function. To find this function the integral singular equation is derived and solved with the help of the orthogonal polynomial method.
