The service life of the assemblies is approximate depending on the level of wear of their components. Starting from the product prototype phase, all components are tested and very carefully analyzed. This kind of analysis depends on the fault type and also the analysis devices are chosen in view of this. The Scanning Electron Microscope is one of the most used equipment which provides images with very good resolution at nanometers sizes. The classic microscopes are very often used for surface analysis or measurements. Hardness tester and adhesion measurements devices help to evaluate the material hardness and coatings adhesion. The improvement of the wear analysis methods is necessary due to continuing evolution of the materials and production processes. This paper presents the most common wear types from the injection high-pressure pumps and their analysis methods.","PeriodicalId":244525,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Iași.

The principal aspect is to transform the energies that act on the system, which are kinetic and potential, then leads to a speed decrease of the vehicle until it stops. The purpose of this paper is to analyze five possible variants of the geometry of the brake disc, each geometry being different from the other. Because for a more efficient release of heat, the five chosen geometries of the discs have on their surface vanes, holes, in order to remove heat from their surface. For the actual making of the discs, the chosen models were made and designed in the CATIA V5 design program. The next step in this work was to perform analyzes and simulations for the selected disks. At the same time, the material chosen for them was considered. The 3D models were imported into the ANSYS analysis program, where individual analyzes were performed for each brake disc, and a comparison was made between the values of each one.","PeriodicalId":244525,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Iași.

The paper considers a hollow cylinder consisting of a conduction heat transfer medium, and the two-direction unsteady heat propagation within this medium is studied by means of the alternate directions method. The approach simulates the heat conduction process during a charge-discharge cycle of a single borehole heat storage.","PeriodicalId":244525,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Iași.

In order to establish the possible secondary effects generated by the blasting works, a risk assessment was made with reference to seismic wave, air shock wave, noise, dust and the level of shock generated by the impact of chimney construction with the soil. The demolition work was carried out successfully and due to protection and safety measures no unwanted events were recorded, and the measured values of the seismic wave generated by the impact with the ground of the chimney were non-dangerous, being below the values estimated in the risk assessment.","PeriodicalId":244525,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Iași.

An alternative method of diagnosis could be the study of actual noise and vibration parameters of the main components of the vehicle subject to major faults and compare them to that specific to good status of operation. This paper deals with the classification of the main components of the vehicles by their vibroacoustic fingerprint.

Ball valves are usually used to start/stop the flow of liquids or gases in pipelines, because they generate low hydraulic losses when the valve is in fully open position and no leakage in fully closed position. They are highly recommended, when quick operation is needed in emergency situations. European Union and United States of America have implemented stringent laws to regulate the standards of small and medium size pipeline components. Design parameters may require large size valves that are not in the focus of the present standards and in this case, individual solutions are needed. In this work, a methodology to design ball valves that are not in the standardized series is step by step presented. The case study of a Trunnion ball valve with a 900 mm bore diameter is discussed. The standard API 6D/ ISO 14313 recommends design methods for valves with face-to-face dimension between flanges for diameters up to DN900, therefore the proposed methodology is original.","PeriodicalId":244525,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Iași.

Vehicles loads represent one of the mainly factors that influence the structure reliability of the box girders bridges. Calculation of bridge resistance with different stress due to vehicles loads as close as possible to the real ones constitute the premise of a correct design of the structure. The goal of this study is to realize a description regarding the behavior of box girders bridges analyzed under different vehicles loads conditions. Nowadays the finite element methods (FEM) are highly used because of their capacity to simulate and evaluate the structure efficiency of bridges. By highlighting where the maximum stress values appear we will help the constructor to avoid dangerous sections. Based on this study, we will outline future research directions, aiming to identify and improve the mechanical and strength characteristics of box girders bridges.","PeriodicalId":244525,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Iași.

Friction and wear phenomena in tribological systems can be interpreted on a macroscopic scale. With the development of miniaturized scale and nanoscale systems, it has been launched the hypothesis that macro-level systems cannot reflect the microscale and nanoscale phenomena. A conclusive case is given by the calculation of frictional torque in microscale orientation, in this situation being found that models created by bearing producers cannot validate experimental results. By applying the “box-counting” method, it is possible to estimate the fractal dimension both directly and indirectly by comparing the area-perimeter-scale relations. Based on scaling equations, a system was created for this operation. The conclusion is that all existing theories in tribology should be adapted to take into account fractal size and fractal roughness.","PeriodicalId":244525,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Iași.
