The result is a mirror surface with high wear and corrosion resistance, the surface of the part depends on several factors such as: ductility of the material, tensile strength, roughness of the workpiece surface before rolling, diameter and shape of the rollers (https://sinotech.com/resources/). Burnishing is the most suitable process to improve the fatigue resistance of dynamically requested parts. Because cold rolling does not remove material, then only the surface roughness rolls, influences the obtained roughness. That is why the roughness of the rolls will be equal to the roughness of the part. The cold rolling finishing method does not require the use of special machines, they can be used existing machines in the production sections such as: milling machines, lathes, drilling machines, lathes with numerical control (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/).","PeriodicalId":244525,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Iași.

The optimization process is analyzed by including the possible misalignment and/or tilting angles of the roller due to operating conditions. A computer program was developed in the Borland C++ programming language. The contact pressure distribution is evaluated by using a three-dimensional contact analysis model based on the Boussinesq force-displacement relations for a half-space combined with the flexibility approach. For a fast analysis, the algorithm uses a Conjugate Gradient Method in deriving the contact pressures and the real contact area.","PeriodicalId":244525,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Iași.

To conduct experimental research on this subject, relatively simple test equipment for abrasive wear of pin-on-disk type was designed and materialized. The test pieces from the research material were pressed with known forces on the surface of a rotating abrasive paper disk. The test pieces were made of polyethylene terephthalate PET and polyethylene terephthalate carbon fiber reinforced PET CF15. As output parameters, the speed of decreasing the mass and the length of the test piece were used, respectively, for predetermined test durations. An experimental Taguchi L8 program was used, with 7 independent variables at two levels of variation. The experimental results were mathematically processed determined empirical mathematical models of the power function type. It was found that the strongest influence on the values of the output parameters was exerted by the average travel speed and by the granulation of the particles incorporated in the abrasive paper disk.","PeriodicalId":244525,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Iași.

With the help of CAD software, the design period for a new product was reduced by almost 30 percent. Based on this reason, the CAD software family was developed during the last twenty years giving the possibility to create more complex 3D models, parametrization and calculus for product cost or mechanical properties. One of the major drawback in having such a great number of companies that produce CAD software is that each one tries to individualize their own software. We can mention that there are over 150 types of CAD files format. This multitude of types of CAD software makes it necessary to carry out a comparative study to establish criteria for choosing one software or another. In this article we carried out such a study considering three of the most used software based on a case study – the design of a turning cutting tool.","PeriodicalId":244525,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Iași.

For this reason, the resulting heat dissipation has become increasingly difficult to manage and continuous efforts are being made to optimize thermal management in this direction. This paper shows an improvement in heat dissipation by finding an optimal configuration between the fan speed and the distance between the cooling fins using the Design for Six Sigma methods. The focus was on finding a reliable transfer function that could predict the influence of the identified critical design parameters. Two transfer functions were derived and analysed in parallel; one based on Design of Experiments (DoE) and another based on simplified thermal theory. The accuracy of the transfer function and predictions were compared with the results of thermal simulations performed in the Ansys Icepack program. This shows that the use of the DoE method based on a small number of simulations is sufficient to estimate the behaviour of the ECU, without using a more complex theoretical approach.","PeriodicalId":244525,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Iași.
