It is a combined four-span highway and railway bridge with a length of 460.8 m. It is important to have knowledge of the functioning of the observed structure. Without a thorough and detailed numerical analysis, it is very difficult to correctly evaluate all measured data. Without detailed calibrated numerical models, in some cases it would not be possible to verify response of the structures. By comparing the numerical calculations and the measured data, we have the possibility to detect some structural defects that may not be visible. At the same time, we were be able to verify the impact of some non-structural elements of the structure on its behavior.","PeriodicalId":383836,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Mechanics 2020","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132464772","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}

These include, for example, not only chemical or refinery processes, but also food and pharmaceutical processes, waste treatment processes and many others. Coverage of such a wide range of different technologies enables the concept of unit operations completed by a process integration technique allowing an efficient sequencing of unit operations in a process so that the process is designed and operated as cost-effectively as possible. In the context of global changes and the need for maximum energy efficient and environmentally friendly solutions of production processes, a new trend of so-called modern integrated equipment (MIE) is now starting. The MIE are generally characterized by maximum efficiency and multifunctionality via aggregation of multiple unit operations into a single apparatus. It reduces the process to the minimum number of equipment, thus reducing both investment and operating costs while process works efficiently and more environmentally. The MIE design principles are presented in the paper together with several design challenges addressed to the relevant key areas of engineering mechanics to which attention in the paper will be also paid.","PeriodicalId":383836,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Mechanics 2020","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123273512","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}

Hypervapotron is a heat exchanger operating in a two-phase flow regime, in which the latent heat of the water/steam phase transformation is used, which enables the transfer of large heat fluxes (up to tens of MW/m 2 ). For this reason, it appears to be very promising for use in fusion reactors. The article describes the steps leading to the final design of the experimental loop - selection of suitable mesh parameters in the Star-CCM+ code, geometry and used materials of the single elements of the heating system using electromagnetic induction. The effort of the experimental loop and the flow study in the Hypervapotron in general, is dimensional and material optimization of the geometry is suitable for a wide range of applications for which the benefits of subcooled boiling and Hypervapotron geometry can be applied.","PeriodicalId":383836,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Mechanics 2020","volume":"429 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115955769","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}

Existence conditions of stationary auto-parametric response for both the self-excited case and an assumption of a harmonic load form a non-linear algebraic system of equations. Number of distinct solutions to this algebraic system depends on the frequencies of two principal aero-elastic modes and other system parameters. Thus, the system may possess none, one, or several stationary solutions, whose stability has to be checked using the Routh-Hurwitz conditions. If all quantities entering the system are continuous functions, individual solutions may exhibit (piecewise) continuous dependence on selected system parameters. Thus, multiple identified solutions to the system for a given set of parameters may actually belong to a single solution branch and their values can be determined from the knowledge of the solution branch. Such a situation may significantly simplify assessment of stability of the particular solutions and/or provides an applicable overall description of the system response.","PeriodicalId":383836,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Mechanics 2020","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114964953","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 work describes an experimental estimation of the damping properties of a disc component of the simplified disc brake system. The stability of the system is analyzed numerically using the Finite Element approach and the Complex eigenvalue analysis. From the evolution of real parts of the eigenvalues with friction, the friction threshold value destabilizing the system is defined for the undamped and non-proportionally damped system. From the results, it can be seen how the damping non-proportionality can lead to the dissipation-induced instability of the disc brake system.","PeriodicalId":383836,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Mechanics 2020","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114980682","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 underlying theory assumes that the intermediate configuration of the body is locally unstressed, and as a result, no plastic deformation field exists that meets the conditions of compatibility. The assumption is; however, neither mathematically nor physically justified and the related material models are not continuum-based. In this paper, an alternative strain-rate dependent hyperelastic-plastic material model is presented. Based on the theory of nonlinear continuum mechanics for finite deformation of elastoplastic media, the model can describe the plastic flow in an objective and thermodynamically consistent manner. Therefore the strain-rate density of the model and the specimen from the uniaxial tensile test of the modelled material can be related. In this paper, the dynamic behaviour of a silicone cross-shaped specimen is studied numerically using a Mooney-Rivlin material model with internal damping.","PeriodicalId":383836,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Mechanics 2020","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129855340","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}

Their advantages are low cost, low weight, and corrosion resistance. The heat transfer surface consists of hundreds or even thousands of fibers of small diameter. The PHFHE for gas-liquid application has a regular structure, which prevents the fibers from blocking the heat transfer surface and allow the gas to flow through the heat exchanger. This arrangement, known as the bank of tubes, is common for the multipass shell and tube heat exchangers. There are relations used to estimate the pressure drop of flow passing the bank of tubes. Those are based on extensive experimental research with steel tubes. Unfortunately, it seems that those relations do not apply to flexible fibers. This paper shows the discrepancy between the theory for non-flexible bank of tubes and measured data of PHFHE.","PeriodicalId":383836,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Mechanics 2020","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130071302","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}

Detailed understanding of mechanical properties of atherosclerotic arteries and their components is essential for improvement of computer models used for prediction of plaque rupture. Samples of atherosclerotic CA from carotid endarterectomy were kept either in saline solution or in formaldehyde solution and then underwent uniaxial tensile testing in two directions. Statistical analysis of the obtained stress-strain responses shows that formaldehyde treatment of the tissue increases significantly the mean stiffness and reduces the dispersion.","PeriodicalId":383836,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Mechanics 2020","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122792551","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}
