In this study we have aimed to present statistical evaluation of changes in the surface roughness of the solid tone areas on CtP flexo printing plate in dependence of print run. Changes in flexo plate surface roughness is influenced by the plate-making process, printing pressure and speed, the interaction with the ink and printing substrate and by the wear of the printing plate due to long print-runs. Thus, the aim of this research was to evaluate the changes in the amplitude surface roughness parameters (Ra, Rp, Rv and Rz), between the printing plates used for different print runs. In the experiment, we have employed three sets of CtP flexo printing plates, for three colors-cyan, magenta and blue. The first set was not used for printing, the second was used to print 7 rolls of substrate and the third is used to print 11 rolls of printing substrate. The amplitude surface roughness parameters were compared by applying independentsamples t-test method using the software SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) with a 0.05 significance level. Statistical analysis revealed that the difference between the amplitude surface roughness parameters measured on CtP flexo printing plates are significant with a 95% confidence level, whereas the statistical significance pointed out that with the longer print runs, the difference will be strongly expressed.

Abstract The parameters of abrasive blasting process directly affect the condition of the metal surface, changing the degree of surface roughness and wettability, depending on the size of the used particle, the pressure or type of abrasive. The aim of this study was to analyze the condition of Ni-Cr alloy surface after abrasive blasting using various process variants. The samples were blasted by Al2O3 abrasive using various particle sizes and pressures of the process. Basic and specific roughness parameters were investigated, and a surface wettability test was performed, and the percentage share of abrasive particles penetrated in the surface after abrasive blasting was also examined. The most considerable differences in the condition of the surface were observed with the change in the particle size of Al2O3. Statistical analysis confirmed the statistical significance of all these relationships.

The present paper concerns the statistical analysis of the surface roughness evaluation of knitted fabrics by the Textile Surface Tester. The main objectives were, firstly, focused on investigating the effect of knitted fabrics structural factors and the test conditions on the surface absolute roughness, the total roughness and the standard deviation. Secondly, the relationship between sample characteristics (face, yarn count, loop length), the test conditions (the force and the slipping speed of the sensor feeler on the sample and signal sampling time), and the surface roughness parameters were analyzed and modeled through regression analysis. The combined effects of the input parameters and their two-way interactions on the test bench outputs were investigated using the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The percent contribution ratio was used to show the influence of inputs and their interactions on surface roughness parameters. The results show how much surface roughness is mainly influenced by the knits structural factors. Also, it is underlined that the applied force by the sensor feeler on the fabric has an important effect on outputs. Finally, the sensor slipping speed on the sample and the signal sampling time have no important effects on outputs. Models were developed using experimental results from a full factorial experimental design. The adjusted coefficients of determination R2adj were found to be greater than 80%.

AbstractPurpose. The aim of the study was to determine differences in anteroposterior spine curvatures between futsal players, soccer players, and non-training students. The results may contribute to the development of present-day knowledge of posturometry, and its implementation in training can help reduce the risk of body posture disorders in athletes. Methods. The examined group consisted of 48 athletes and 38 non-training college students. Body posture parameters were measured with the use of Posturometr-S. The normality of distribution was checked with the Shapiro-Wilk test, and the differences between the groups were measured with ANOVA and the Bonferroni post-hoc test. The level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results. The analysis of angle values revealed the widest and most similar measurements in the group of futsal players and soccer players. The analysis of variance proved statistically significant differences between the soccer players and futsal players (p = 0.003). The difference between the soccer players and non-training students was statistically significant. The highest γ angular value was measured in non-training students, followed by futsal players and soccer players. The statistical analysis revealed significant differences between the non-training students and futsal players, as well as non-training students and soccer players (p < 0.001). Conclusions. A complex assessment of athletes’ body posture is crucial in injury prevention. Training overloads may often lead to disorders of the organ of locomotion and affect the correct body posture in athletes. This, in turn, may result in pains and injuries.

Surface roughness is an important factor in many soil moisture retrieval models. Therefore, any mischaracterization of surface roughness parameters (root mean square height, RMSH, and correlation length, ʅ) may result in unreliable predictions and soil moisture estimations. In many environments, but particularly in agricultural settings, surface roughness parameters may show different behaviours with respect to the orientation or azimuth. Consequently, the relationship between SAR polarimetric variables and surface roughness parameters may vary depending on measurement orientation. Generally, roughness obtained for many SAR-based studies is estimated using pin profilers that may, or may not, be collected with careful attention to orientation to the satellite look angle. In this study, we characterized surface roughness parameters in multi-azimuth mode using a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS). We characterized the surface roughness parameters in different orientations and then examined the sensitivity between polarimetric variables and surface roughness parameters; further, we compared these results to roughness profiles obtained using traditional pin profilers. The results showed that the polarimetric variables were more sensitive to the surface roughness parameters at higher incidence angles (θ). Moreover, when surface roughness measurements were conducted at the look angle of RADARSAT-2, more significant correlations were observed between polarimetric variables and surface roughness parameters. Our results also indicated that TLS can represent more reliable results than pin profiler in the measurement of the surface roughness parameters.

The main aim of this work is to analyse the significance of cutting parameters on surface roughness and spindle vibrations while machining the AA6063 alloy. The turning experiments were carried out on a CNC lathe with a constant spindle speed of 1000rpm using carbide tool inserts coated with Tic. The cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut are chosen as process parameters whose values are varied in between 73.51m/min to 94.24m/min, 0.02 to 0.04 mm/rev and 0.25 to 0.45 mm respectively. For each experiment, the surface roughness parameters and the amplitude plots have been noted for analysis. The output data include surface roughness parameters (Ra,Rq,Rz) measured using Talysurf and vibration parameter as vibration amplitude (mm/sec) at the front end of the spindle in transverse direction using single channel spectrum analyzer (FFT).With the collected data Regression analysis is also performed for finding the optimum parameters. The results show that significant variation of surface irregularities and vibration amplitudes were observed with cutting speed and feed. The optimum cutting speed and feed from the regression analysis were 77.0697m/min and 0.0253mm/rev. for the minimum output parameters. No significant effect of depth of cut on output parameters is identified.
