The method is designed to minimize variations in the effective tool diameter, addressing a common challenge encountered when using ball-end tools for machining free-form surfaces. These surfaces exhibit varying inclinations, leading to fluctuations in the tool’s working diameter from one point to another, resulting in inconsistent cutting speeds and milling parameters despite a constant spindle speed. Consequently, the machined surface tends to lack uniformity. In contrast to conventional tool path planning techniques, the proposed method calculates the working diameter at each adjacent point and guides the tool’s movement towards the point where the smallest change in working diameter is anticipated. This approach reduces fluctuations in cutting speed and promotes the generation of a more homogeneous surface.","PeriodicalId":323980,"journal":{"name":"Acta Technica Jaurinensis","volume":"15 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140242938","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}

Technical standardization represents a set of rules, characterizations, guidelines, and results of activities necessary for mutual understanding when solving technical problems in production. Adherence to standards is essential when launching a product on the market. The main standard indicating the full functioning of an amusement device is STN EN 13814.

However, the determination of this critical aggregate property is labour-intensive and time-consuming and thus, in the literature, there are many predictive models to estimate the LAAV for different rock types. However, most of them are based on classical regression analyses, limiting their broader usage. In this study, several soft computing analyses are performed to develop robust predictive models for the evaluation of LAAV of rocks in the Ilıca region (Kütahya – Turkey). The main motivation for implementing soft computing analyses is that precise predictive models might be useful when exploring suitable rock types that are manufactured in crushing–screening plants. For this purpose, a comprehensive laboratory schedule was established to obtain some inputs for the evaluation of LAAV. As a result of the soft computing analyses, four robust predictive models are developed based on artificial neural networks (ANN), multiple adaptive regression spline (MARS), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and gene expression programming (GEP) methodologies. The performance of the proposed models is investigated by some statistical indicators such as R2 and RMSE values and scatter plots. As a result, the ANFIS-based predictive model turns out to be the best alternative to estimate the LAAV of the investigated rocks.","PeriodicalId":323980,"journal":{"name":"Acta Technica Jaurinensis","volume":"520 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140417497","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 aim of the research is to reduce the wear that occurs between the wheel flanges of the rolling stock and the rails. Rail joints have been found to be the main shock source in the dynamic interaction between the railway and the rolling stock. There is unstable motion within the transition curves and at the joints of the curved rail on the curved track sections. This is accompanied by abrupt lateral rail wear in the joint area between the trailing and facing rails in the direction of train movement. It has been found that reducing the weight of the trains leads to a reduction in intensive lateral rail wear on curved track sections and can reach the following percentages: in curves with a radius of up to 300 m: up to 33% uphill, up to 55% downhill; in curves with a radius of 300 m to 450 m: up to 32.9% uphill, up to 26.3% downhill; in curves with a radius of 450 m: up to 3.2% uphill, up to 17.6% downhill.

Data gathered by multipurpose track recording vehicles matched the EN 13,848 requirements. Track Quality Index (TQI) measurement systems (The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the Netherlands’, and the Chinese TQI) are considered where three types of predetermined segment techniques: separate, moving, and Zero-crossings segmentation are employed. The importance of track segmentation in quality assessment, which affects maintenance planning, is shown by key findings. For heterogeneous data, the TQIs might be deceptive, highlighting the need for alternatives. The robustness of the Zero-crossings method makes it possible to analyze deterioration factors in great detail and in some efficient way. Longer analytical segments and smoothing of the data improved precision. Based on empirical data, we advise considering a Zero-crossings strategy for precise and efficient track-quality evaluations.

The sequence for every route was determined if had a shortest distance and/or fastest time with the help of optimoroute software. Then, every route was processed by Google Maps both in normal condition and odd-even policy’s condition in order to get the distance and travel time. The results indicated that around 44.89% of routes have further distance and 16.55% have longer time, these results mean costlier for private companies since odd-even policy has been implemented.

AVs have different driving characteristics than human-driven vehicles, which manifests itself in the strict adherence to speed limit, in giving priority to pedestrians, and in the pre-set headways they can keep. A traffic simulation environment was built around an unsignalized pedestrian crossing to measure the energy consumption of vehicles in the presence of AVs. The simulation environment was modified to adhere pedestrian-accepted gaps between vehicles in case of crossing. Considered vehicle types are yielding or not yielding human-driven, and AVs. Scenarios were built to model the AV traffic share, the different headways kept by AVs, and the various traffic volumes in each direction. The different driving behaviour and traffic share of AVs led to energy consumption changes, which were modelled through scenario analysis. The maximum energy consumption reduction of human-driven vehicles was 10.67% for yielding vehicles and 12.41% for non-yielding vehicles compared to the 0% AV traffic rate. Although, in case of AVs, the energy consumption increased in all scenarios compared to the basic version with only human-driven vehicles. In higher traffic scenarios, where only AVs were on the road, there was a substantial 35,92-96.55% increase in energy consumption, compared to the 0% AV ratio case. Thereby speed of vehicles, following distance and the number of stops affected the overall system efficiency. The results of this study can contribute to the understanding the impact of AVs which can support their introduction.","PeriodicalId":323980,"journal":{"name":"Acta Technica Jaurinensis","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139210473","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}

While the failure in stationary plants can lead to downtime and high repair costs, its failure in mobile plants like the jet engines can be catastrophic with attendant loss of lives. Hence, by all possible means, the prevention of turbine failure is a necessity, and a very good means of doing this is with the use of super-alloys. Super-alloys are tailored to withstand the demands of turbine operations especially stress and elevated temperature and pressure. The blades are thus, manufactured from super-alloys, and of prominence are the Nickel-based super-alloys. The performance of five different super-alloys: (DS) GTD 111, Ti-6Al-4V, Inconel 718, CMSX-4, and Nimonic 80A was simulated using COMSOL MultiPhysics 5.5 at cooling air temperature range of 600 K – 700 K. The mode of cooling employed in the study is only internal cooling.
