Theoretical Design

At present, in a period of an industrial expansion great emphasis is placed on the environment. That means aiming for a reduced energy consumption, and also lessening dustiness from very fine powder material. This category also includes particulate material agglomeration processes. Because this process is very energy-intensive, it is necessary to correctly design these devices. The aim of this paper is to focus on a theoretical design of a production compactor with the rolls diameter for an experimental particulate material, based on Johanson’s theory and experimentally measured material properties. The material used for experimental measurements was an NPK-based industrial fertilizer consisting of several components. The results of this paper is the dependence of the ratio of the maximum compression pressure to the initial compression pressure from the rolls diameter of the proposed compactor.

In case of pressed composite biofuels production the important part of the production process is the input row materials disintegration. In dependence on disintegrated material properties, disintegration device, grinding stage and technological process there is in practice necessary for disintegration of culm materials 0.5–7% and of wooden species even 0.75–10% of total energetical content of material. A wide range of these figures means that in this sphere of raw materials adaptation can be reached relative high savings through correct choice of technological process and device. The authors of the paper have measured energy consumption of fine disintegration of lignocellulose materials in dependence on particles size and moisture. By the realized measurement of different average size of both input and output particles and consequent statistical evaluation was proved the fiducial energy consumption increase at higher stage of disintegration and higher moisture of the input material. All measurements were carried-out for the grinding mill ŠK 300 and the output particles size was limited by the exchange sieves mesh dimension.

Abstract A hybrid experimental-numerical approach is proposed for accurate dimensionless characterization of rubber finite compressibility. Rubber specimens in the form of bonded rubber disks are considered as elastomeric structures with unknown material properties. These properties are calculated by matching results of FEA with experimental measurements of radial deformations of the axially-loaded disks. The approach may be used for reliable characterization of Poisson's ratio, bulk modulus, or other characteristics of interest. Implementation of the approach is considered for two representative elastomeric compounds with different levels of carbon black. Good experimental verification of the approach is shown at different levels of loading. Moreover, the same parameters of finite compressibility are independently obtained using both compressive and tensile loads. Higher compressibility is observed for a compound with larger content of carbon black as expected.

This study aimed to model numerically the thermal cycling resulting from the steel ASTM A743-CA6NM remelting process. The problem was solved with the support of the commercial software ANSYS / FLUENT ® 14.5 for the three-dimensional case using the finite volume method. The following simplifying assumptions were adopted: heat loss by natural convection, absence of radiation, no phase change, concentrated heat source, and thermophysical properties independent of temperature. The results were analyzed for two different current intensities: 90A and 130A, and compared with experimental measurements. The peak temperatures of the thermocouples near the fusion line for the current of 130A were well represented by the numerical model, with a maximum deviation of 9.62%. In the case of the more remote thermocouples from the fusion line, the best results were obtained for the current of 90A, not exceeding 5% of deviation. In general, it was found that the tested body is heated faster than in simulations. This can be considered as a consequence of the simplification in material properties, which were assumed constants with temperature. The results of this study demonstrate that, given the adopted simplifications, the numerical model was able to satisfactorily reproduce the experimentally measured thermal cycles.

The aim of this paper is first to determine the state of stress of welded joint repaired by steel sleeve and epoxy composition. Experimental measurements are performed on samples to determine required material properties. The structural analysis by finite element method (FEM) is performed for a pressurized pipe with insufficiently welded root and installed cold sleeve. Simulated is the case of depressurized pipes that could cause a breach of cohesion between filling material and surface of pipe or sleeve with usage of cohesive finite elements. In the end the sleeve dimensions are optimized with respect to maximum integrity to the repaired sleeve.

Abstract The main goal of the paper is the determination of material properties from experimentally measured natural frequencies. A combination of two approaches to structural dynamics testing was applied: the experimental measurements of natural frequencies were performed by Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) and the numerical simulations, were carried out by Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The optimization methods were used to determine the values of density and elasticity modulus of a specimen based on the experimental results.

This work presents a computationally efficient predictive model based on solid heat transfer for temperature profiles in powder bed metal additive manufacturing (PBMAM) considering the heat transfer boundary condition and powder material properties. A point moving heat source model is used for the three-dimensional temperature prediction in an absolute coordinate. The heat loss from convection and radiation is calculated using a heat sink solution with a mathematically discretized boundary considering non-uniform temperatures and heat loss at the boundary. Powder material properties are calculated considering powder size statistical distribution and powder packing. The spatially uniform and temperature-independent material properties are employed in the temperature prediction. The presented model was tested in PBMAM of AlSi10Mg under different process conditions. The calculations of material properties are needed for AlSi10Mg because of the significant difference in thermal conductivity between powder form and solid bulk form. Close agreement is observed upon experimental validation on the molten pool dimensions.

The results from the development of a novel coupling agent technology, which should very soon be launched commercially, will be described. The presentation will particularly focus on the performance of the technology in ATH filled EVA systems, and its benefits over existing coupling agent technologies. In particular a rheological profile, giving the potential for lower energy consumption and/or higher processing speeds, can be demonstrated without any significant diminution in the material properties that would be obtained using conventional coupling agents. Other properties related to the fire resistance and electrical stability will be reviewed, and the processing conditions and formulation modifications required to optimise this performance will also be discussed. Other applications for this coupling technology, including calcium carbonate filled EVA systems and hopefully calcium carbonate filled EPDM rubbers and/or PP homopolymer, will be covered in less detail, but should give some indication of the potential scope of the technology.
