            <description><![CDATA[Contemporary finite-strain plasticity models based on a multiplicative split of the deformation gradient exhibit fundamental inconsistencies, such as incorrect intermediate configurations, violations of mass conservation, a predefined deformation order, and erroneous stress evaluation. We propose an alternative Mooney– Rivlin model employing an additive split of the strain-rate tensor. A numerical example demonstrates its consistency and suitability for a universal finite elastoplastic framework.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The paper deals with the kinematics of the Power Skiving process, the determination of the total cutting speed, the working angles of the cutting wedge of the Power Skiving tool and their influence on the process of cutting gears. A kinematic diagram of the process is presented which differs from the generally accepted one. The cutting motion and the formation of tooth surfaces are considered to be the result of the combined circular motions of the workpiece and cutter in planes at an angle equal to the angle of inclination of the tool axis. According to this approach, the resulting cutting movement is represented as the geometric sum of the linear speed of tool rotation, the constructive movement of the face resulting from the crossing of the axes in the direction of the axial feed and the axial feed of the tool. The values of the working angles of the power skiving tool relative to the total velocity vector are determined. The influence of the design and geometrical parameters of different cutting tools on the characteristics of gear machining in the process of power skiving is analysed.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Unmanned systems are becoming increasingly important - both in civilian life and in the military field. The fundamental problem is their control - most often it is remote control using radio transmission of control commands. This type of control is problematic especially with land vehicles. What if the unmanned system has to operate at the limit of the transmitter’s range ? Or there are terrain obstacles between the vehicle and the transmitter that complicate radio transmission. In these situations, the vehicle needs to make “its own decisions”. In these cases, artificial intelligence methods can be useful. In our work, we try to propose a concept of ground vehicle autonomy based on fuzzy logic.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[An analysis of the operating dynamics of a centrifugal pump driven by an asynchronous electric motor was conducted using a two-mass torsional model incorporating a reduction element as the pump’s flexible coupling. Three drive loading scenarios were examined: starting the pump with the discharge valve open (case 1), opening the valve on a running pump (case 2), and starting the pump with the valve closed (case 3). It was demonstrated that breaching centrifugal pump operation guidelines substantially impacts component loading, resulting in considerable overloads.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This study explores municipal waste-derived synthesis gas as a sustainable alternative fuel for internal combustion engines. Syngas properties, including lower heating value and combustion behavior, were linked to the feedstock characteristics and production method. Experimental investigations conducted on a turbocharged Lombardini LGW 702 spark-ignition engine showed that syngas mixtures with higher lower heating values (approximately 11–12 MJ/kg) achieved torque and mean effective pressure values close to those obtained with natural gas. In contrast, low-calorific syngases (approximately 8–9 MJ/kg) resulted in a torque reduction of about 6–15% and a significant increase in specific fuel consumption. The calculated specific energy of the stoichiometric fuel–air mixture ranged from approximately 2.3 to 2.8 MJ/kg under full-load conditions. The results confirm the technical feasibility of municipal waste-derived syngas for engine applications and its potential contribution to greenhouse gas reduction and the development of renewable energy systems.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This paper presents a compact and cost-effective measurement system for evaluating beam deflection using planar inductive linear transducers. The system includes a custom-built mechanical stand with a movable loading arm, force sensor, and non-contact displacement sensor mounted on linear guide rails. The setup allows precise positioning of the loading point and displacement measurement along the beam. A planar inductive sensor provides a 0–10 V analog output corresponding to a 0–1000 mm displacement range. Signals are acquired using a National Instruments DAQ system and processed in real time via LabVIEW. Bilateral sensing and noise-assisted signal processing techniques improve measurement accuracy and stability. Experimental validation demonstrated high repeatability and resolution better than 15 µm. The system supports applications in structural diagnostics, mechanical testing, and educational environments. Its modular design and low-cost implementation make it a practical alternative to conventional optical or contact-based measurement methods.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This study introduces a control approach that enhances a PID-based active suspension with a skyhook-inspired semi-active effect. PID is widely used in active systems, while skyhook provides effective damping for semi-active setups. The method combines the PID force with an adaptive algorithm that mimics skyhook behaviour. This allows a single actuator to benefit from both control types. The resulting controller, PIDcSky (PID combined Skyhook), offers a simple way to bring semi-active advantages into active designs.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Product quality is a very important criteria of a production process such as injection molding process. There are still fierce defects that exist on the molded product such as shrinkage, weldlines, and warpage. To improve product quality of injection molding process, it is clear that defects have been eliminated out of molded parts. The shrinkage is occurred and appeared on the final product during injection molding process that related to injection processing parameters such as injection pressure, melting temperature, filling time, and mold temperature. This paper demonstrates an optimal method of processing parameters by using Taguchi method and RSM technique to minimize the shrinkage of product during injection molding process. The product material is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) with good characteristics of toughness, strength, and chemical resistance. The shrinkage analysis and simulation tasks are conducted by using EasyFill software. The results show that the optimal shrinkage can be reached. The optimal shrinkage is lower about 0.52% in comparison to the minimal value of proposal experiments and about 22.14% the maximum value of the experimental matrix. The paper hopes that the results are useful for engineers and practical production in the near future.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This paper investigates the effect of changing the computational grid on the results of the nonlinear turbulence model RSM (Reynolds Stress Model) in combination with the SST (Shear Stress Transport) ω-model. The RSM model is one of the most advanced models for calculating turbulent flows, which takes into account the anisotropy of turbulent stresses. To test the effectiveness of this model, a mixed flow problem was considered based on NASA experimental data. Calculations were performed using the ANSYS Fluent software package. During the study, the numerically obtained distributions of flow velocity and Reynolds stresses were compared with experimental data in several control sections. Also, an assessment was made of the effect of different types and resolutions of computational grids on the accuracy of modeling in order to determine which grid provides the best agreement with the experiment and improves the accuracy of model predictions.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of selected technological parameters in fiber laser cutting, specifically cutting speed, focal position, and assist gas pressure, on the dimensional and geometrical accuracy of thin stainless steel sheets. An experimental design methodology is applied to determine parameter combinations that reduce deviations from the desired dimensions. Using statistical evaluation and regression modelling, optimal process settings for the given material are established. The findings indicate that cutting speed and focal position play a key role in determining cutting accuracy, while their mutual interaction has a significant impact on process stability. The presented methodology provides a foundation for the systematic optimization of fiber laser cutting conditions.]]></description>

A simple two-member truss model was defined and used for the study. A simple analytical model was derived using the theories of first and second order, which were then solved using the numerical formulations. To validate the model, an experimental setup was created and mounted on a tensile testing machine to apply required loads on the system. The results obtained from the test are used to validate the numerical model. Different parametric studies were conducted using the validated model to further understand the effects of the different variables on the model’s behaviour.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This article focuses on the issue of belt friction, which sees very frequent use in practice. It presents the derivation of a new model, which is then compared to the traditional simple Euler-Eytelwein (Capstan) model. Belt friction obeys Coulomb’s Law. Both derivations are based on the differential equilibrium of forces in a cylindrical coordinate system on an elementary segment of a fiber (rope). Compared to the Euler-Eytelwein model, the new model additionally respects the weight of the rope, the radius of the cylindrical surface, the rope’s geometry, and the rope’s position relative to gravitational force in space. First experiment using a pulley (a wheel with a semicircular groove) wrapped with a loaded rope and the measuring of the forces in the rope was used to compare the two models. The new model, which gives more precise results, is slightly more complicated than the Euler-Eytelwein model. Second experiment for measuring of lightweight rubberized polymer mesh belts is mentioned and evaluated too. The differential equation for the new model can also be solved analytically, opening up new possibilities for dealing with belt friction. Results are compared with Finite Element Method too. The article’s conclusion also presents other possible solutions for the problem of belt friction.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[There were developed ways to minimize the rotor vibration activity in the plain bearing by readjusting design parameters, which eliminate the reasons of generating powerful low-frequency oscillations, imbalance position of rotor inertia axis, reduction of rotor oscillation amplitude, prevention of the loss of stability of the steady motion of rotors while maintaining bearing operating parameters. It has been proved that reduction of dynamic eccentricity is possible by increasing the oil angle, increasing the lifting force and reducing the rotor precession angle to 15-30 degrees. It has been defined that the most efficient way to prevent autooscillations is to increase the parameters of the curved oil wedge through selecting value ranges of relative clearance which is used while bearing designing or maintenance due to limitation of the range recommended by the stability nomogram.]]></description>

Simulations were performed for Reynolds numbers ranging from 3422 to 11980. The results show that rectangular fins produce the highest heat transfer values with a high pressure drop. However, semi-elliptical fins offer superior thermal and hydraulic efficiency.

A 14s2p configuration was chosen based on energy and power requirements, with pouch cells selected for their high power density and favorable packaging characteristics. The mechanical layout, electrical interconnections, and casing design were optimized with support from benchmarking of other teams. Manufacturing was carried out using 3D-printed flame-retardant parts and laser welding of cell tabs. The final system was successfully integrated into the target vehicle, confirming its proper functionality.]]></description>
