A favorable and intensified course of the composting process can be achieved by optimal composition of the composted material (moisture, content of organic substances and nutrients, C:N ratio, etc.), and also by optimizing the conditions under which composting takes place (temperature, pH, structure and aeration of the material, etc.). The paper contains a methodology for calculating the composition of composted material and also a methodology for solving the forced aeration process of composted material. More specifically, some process parameters of the intensified composting of a defined amount of kitchen biowaste, taking place in closed composting reactors, are presented and analyzed. Using the material balance of the composting process, the connections between the desired composition of the matured compost, the composition of the composted material and the conditions under which the composting takes place are pointed out. The specified connections enable the composting process to be optimized appropriately.","PeriodicalId":445896,"journal":{"name":"Strojnícky časopis - Journal of Mechanical Engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":"151 - 162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139294104","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 equations developed by classical lamination theory for symmetric angle ply and cross ply laminated plate are solved by Navier and Rayleigh-Ritz method. The efficiency of Navier and Rayleigh-Ritz method in solving the problems of symmetric angle ply and cross ply laminated plate are investigated by comparing their results with ANSYS. Percentage error of the results from finite element method with Navier and Rayleigh-Ritz methods are studied and compared. The model is extended to study the effect of orientation angle, number of lamina and length to thickness ratio on the deflection of simply supported composite plates for symmetric angle ply plates of stacking sequence (orientation angle) of [+θ/− θ]s . From the discussion, it is found that the percentage error depends on the variables: number of lamina, thickness of each lamina, orientation angle and mesh size. The significance of these variables in reducing the percentage error is studied by statistical tool: ANOVA and the relationship between these variables are established by regression equation. Statistical analysis is conducted by testing their significance at the 5% significance level. The comparative study and analysis of the percentage errors of the semi-analytical methods with finite element methods in solving the problem of laminated composite plates is essential to study the degree of approximation in the results.","PeriodicalId":445896,"journal":{"name":"Strojnícky časopis - Journal of Mechanical Engineering","volume":"78 1","pages":"45 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139302818","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}

However, rotor blades are never identical, and geometrical errors between actual and nominal geometries exist due to limited machining precision or assembly imperfection. The paper presents the initial phase of the controlled flutter research of a linear turbine blade cascade with a geometric deviation in one blade position. A subsonic wind tunnel with four flexibly mounted blades in an otherwise rigid blade cascade is employed at one angle of incidence and three low reduced frequencies. Measurements are performed with an angular position deviation (±1.5°) of one blade in pure bending and torsion modes. A tangible effect of one blade’s slight incidence angle offset on the vibrating blade cascade aerodynamic stability is demonstrated, and this research effort opens the door to a more extensive testing campaign.","PeriodicalId":445896,"journal":{"name":"Strojnícky časopis - Journal of Mechanical Engineering","volume":"61 1","pages":"15 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139305435","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}

Our model takes into account various factors such as stretching, bending, and contact adhesion during atomic force microscopy (AFM) indentation using a spherical tip. By applying our model to liposomes, we demonstrate that these structures exhibit nonlinear behaviour characterized by low stiffness at small deformations. Furthermore, we find that the mechanical response of liposomes is influenced by their size. Additionally, we observe that the presence of adhesion energy contributes to the generation of negative tip forces upon initial contact.","PeriodicalId":445896,"journal":{"name":"Strojnícky časopis - Journal of Mechanical Engineering","volume":"62 1","pages":"107 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139305109","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}

Tool life is an important consideration when welding strong metals with the Friction stir welding technique (FSW). The current research aims to calculate tool life by mathematical derivation and simulation using ANSYS transient structural analysis. There are two tool materials and five-pin profiles to consider. The calculated tool life using mathematical formulation is within 15% of the simulation outcome. Further changes are made to the simulation to make the tool life estimate more realistic under FSW’s operation. PcBN tool has superior mechanical properties over the tungsten carbide tool, so the procedure started with the tungsten carbide tool. The conical pin profile is giving 31466 cycles of tool life, which is 70 min run time while working at 450 rpm rotational speed. As a result, for high-strength materials joining, the tool must be chosen based on tool life parameters. The addition of a 1.5 mm fillet at the pin-to-shoulder junction has improved the tool life by 1147 cycles. The PcBN tool is simulated with a conical tool with new pin profiles of conical with grooves and cylindrical fillet with grooves. The maximum tool life of 94018 cycles is obtained for the conical PcBN tool.","PeriodicalId":445896,"journal":{"name":"Strojnícky časopis - Journal of Mechanical Engineering","volume":"194 1","pages":"163 - 180"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139297279","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}
