Piezoelectric actuators are widely used for the nano/micro positioning and adjustment systems. In the paper, the investigation on the oscillations of contacting surfaces of the piezoelectric thick-walled cylinder is presented. Piezoelectric cylinder is the main component of piezomechanical system named as piezo-screw and is used to turn the screw. This investigated piezomechanical system can be used for the precise positioning with a high resolution (less than 50 nanometers). Piezoelectric cylinder has radial polarization. Traveling-wave oscillations of the second circumferential modal shape (n = 2, m = 1) are excited. Three different electrode topologies are used to drive the screw. Electrodes are grouped into upper and low groups in both topology cases. Each group consists of six electrodes where positions of corresponding electrodes in upper and lower group are shifted by π/6. Numerical investigation of the traveling wave oscillation is performed and dependencies oscillation trajectories of contact surfaces on excitation schemes are determined when three different electrode topologies are used. Dependency of oscillations of contacting points upon length of the actuator is analyzed as well. Advantages and disadvantages of each excitation case are discussed.

Abstract In this article, the Sinh–Gordon function method and sub-equation method are used to construct traveling wave solutions of modified equal width equation. Thanks to the proposed methods, trigonometric soliton, dark soliton, and complex hyperbolic solutions of the considered equation are obtained. Common aspects, differences, advantages, and disadvantages of both analytical methods are discussed. It has been shown that the traveling wave solutions produced by both analytical methods with different base equations have different properties. 2D, 3D, and contour graphics are offered for solutions obtained by choosing appropriate values of the parameters. To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of these techniques, a nonlinear evolution equation was investigated, and with the help of symbolic calculation, these methods have been shown to be a powerful, reliable, and effective mathematical tool for the solution of nonlinear partial differential equations.

TerraPower has developed sophisticated computational analysis tools to support the design and fabrication of high temperature components to be used in the Traveling Wave Reactor (TWR). One of the key material properties required to predict material damage and remaining lifetime of key in-reactor components is the thermal creep rupture time. Although TerraPower optimized ferritic-martensitic (FM) HT9 steel has shown consistent improvement in yield stress and creep rupture strength through uniaxial tensile tests, extrapolations of existing test data are still needed to fully support the complex analysis used in the TWR design. Traditional Larson-Miller analysis for creep rupture was used to compare the TerraPower optimized HT9 steel to the existing historical database. The results of the Larson-Miller analysis were compared to the results from the Wilshire analysis to explore the relative advantages and disadvantages of each method. The best estimate values for fitting constants and activation energies were determined for both methods, taking into account the effects of the higher yield stress observed in TerraPower optimized HT9 compared to historic HT9. Likewise, the best estimate creep rupture stresses for TerraPower optimized HT9 at various times and temperatures were determined by extrapolations using both the Larson-Miller and Wilshire analysis. The allowable stresses of historical and TerraPower optimized HT9 steels were compared to those of existing materials (9Cr-1Mo-V) in the ASME high temperature code. The comparison of analysis methods and rupture stresses demonstrate that TerraPower FM steel thermal creep performance and analysis methods are comparable to existing ASME qualified materials for high temperature applications.

In this study, the Lonngren-wave equation, which is physically semiconductor, is taken into consideration. Traveling wave solutions of this equation are presented with generalized exponential rational function method, which is one of the mathematically powerful analytical methods. These solutions are produced in bright (non-topological) soliton and complex trigonometric-type traveling wave solutions. Three-dimensional (3D), 2D and contour graphics are presented with the help of a ready-made package program with special values given to constants in these solutions. The effect of the change in wave velocity on the traveling wave solution showing energy transport is presented with the help of simulation. It is argued that velocity is one of the important factors in wave diffraction. In the results and discussion section, the advantages and disadvantages of the method are discussed.

Nowadays, sales activities are a determining component of the competitiveness of almost every enterprise engaged in foreign economic activities. In modern economic conditions and the strengthening of the world globalization process, more and more attention is paid to the distribution of export-oriented products as the main component of the enterprise marketing activities. To implement efficient distribution of products, first of all, it must be well planned. It's considered that it is exactly planning, which is the most important condition for the effective implementation of the marketing activities of the exporting enterprise. The aim of the work is to determine the essence of the combined sales strategy as an up-to-date tool for improving the planning of the products distribution at enterprises in the context of the intensification of activities in foreign markets. The analysis of the latest research and publications has been carried out. The “products distribution” concept is presented as the main component of the enterprise marketing activities. In general, product distribution is an enterprise's activity aimed at overcoming the spatial, temporal and quantitative commodity differences between the production and consumer spheres, which also includes the transfer of ownership of products to meet the needs of consumers and achieve the company's goals in target markets. Meanwhile, the combined marketing implies a combination of direct and indirect methods of the commodities promotion, that is, a manufacturer can form his own sales network, but at the same time does not refuse the services of intermediaries. The advantages and disadvantages of using this method for manufacturing companies were listed. It also describes the conditions under which it is advisable to use the strategy of combined sales, especially it concerns the companies in the conditions of export activation. The factors influencing the implementation of the combined sales strategy by the enterprise in the context of the intensification of activities in foreign markets are presented.

Abstract Background: Rectal cancer management has as its main component the surgical treatment. The purpose of the paper is to point out the advantages and disadvantages of sphincter saving techniques, respecting the oncological principles. Material and method: A cross-sectional, retrospective study was performed on a group of 69 patients admitted and surgically treated for rectal cancers in the Surgical Clinic I of the County Emergency Clinical Hospital of Tîrgu Mureș, for a period of one year (April 2012 - April 2013) and to whom rectal resections were performed. We followed the immediate postoperative evolutions in these patients, making a comparative analysis between those with the sphincter saving surgery and those in which other operations were performed. Results: From the total of 69 patients diagnosed with rectal cancer, sphincter saving procedures with restoration of digestive continuity by coloanal anastomosis were performed in 12 patients (17.39%) using the peranal or transanal approach; in 42 patients (60.86%) anterior rectosigmoidian resections with low and very low colorectal anastomosis („very low” Dixon procedure) were performed. In 15 cases (21.74%) the Miles type of rectal resections, using the abdomino-perineal way, were performed. Out of the 12 cases with peranal or transanal anastomosis, 4 cases had postoperative complications. Conclusions: Rectal resection procedures, which are restoring the digestive tract continuity using low anastomosis (colorectal, coloanal, peranal or transanal), are representing viable and „physiological” alternatives, if they respect the oncologic principles. In well selected cases, the immediate postoperative evolution is favorable, relieving the patient from the psychological and physical trauma due to the presence of a colostomy

In this study, we have taken into account the time-fractional Ostrovsky–Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation, which is a synthesis of the time-fractional Ostrovsky equation and time-fractional Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equations and contains both mathematical and physical properties. Traveling wave solutions are produced by using the Ostrovsky–Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation that physically sheds light on the incoming wave event on the ocean surface, using the sub-equation and Bernoulli sub-equation function methods. These solutions are presented in hyperbolic, trigonometric, singular and dark (topological) soliton types. With the help of special values given to the coefficients in the solitons obtained, it is associated with the solutions in the literature and it is observed that the solitons produced in this study are more general. Graphs representing the stationary wave at any given moment are presented. The advantages and disadvantages as well as the similarities and differences of the method are discussed in detail. Also, the behavior of the wave and its refraction according to the velocity variable, which is a physically important factor of the traveling wave solution, is analyzed and supported by simulation.
