The article concerns the experimental verification of the numerical model simulating the solidification and cooling processes proceeding in the domain of cast iron casting. The approximate course of the function describing the evolution of latent heat and the value of substitute specific heat resulting from its course were obtained using the thermal and derivative analysis (TDA) method The TDA was also used to measure the cooling curves at the distinguished points of the casting. The results obtained in this way were compared with the calculated cooling curves at the same points. At the stage of numerical computations, the explicit scheme of the finite difference method was applied. The agreement between the measured and calculated cooling curves is fully satisfactory.

Purpose: The paper describes the use of artificial neural networks to research and predict the effect of chemical components and thermal treatment conditions on stainless steel's mechanical characteristics optimized by genetic algorithm. Design/methodology/approach: The quantity of input variables of artificial neural networks has been optimized using genetic algorithms to enhance the prediction quality of artificial neural network and to enhance their efficiency. Then a computational model was trained and evaluated with optimized artificial neural networks. Findings: Optimization, with the exception of tensile strength, has enabled the creation of artificial neural networks, which either showed a better or similar performance from base networks, as well as a decreased amount of input variables As a consequence, noise data is decreased in the computational model built with the use of these networks. Research limitations/implications: Data analysis was required to confirm the relevance of obtaining information used for modelling to use in training procedures for artificial neural networks. Practical implications: Using artificial intelligence enables the multi-faceted growth of stainless steel engineering, even though there is only a relatively small amount of descriptors. Built and optimized computational model building using optimized artificial neural networks enables prediction of mechanical characteristics after normalization of forged ferritic stainless steels. Originality/value: In order to decrease production expenses of products, an introduced model can be obtained in manufacturing industry. It can also simplify the selection of materials if the engineer has to correctly choose chemical elements and appropriate plastics and/or heat processing of stainless steels, having the necessary mechanical characteristics.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to discuss the method of determining the mathematical model used for calculating the amount of emulsion reaching directly the grinding zone during the hob sharpening process. Design/methodology/approach: The mathematical model, in the form of a multiple regression function, was determined based on the acceptance and rejection method. The data for the calculations was obtained by conducting numerical simulations of fluid flow in the Ansys CFX software. Findings: A mathematical model enables calculating the amount of efficient expenditure of emulsion reaching directly the zone of contact between the grinding wheel and workpiece (hob cutter rake face) at various nozzle angle settings and different nominal expenditures of emulsion. The verification of the mathematical relationship confirmed its accuracy. Research limitations/implications: Further research should focus on the other types of grinding process and other types of cooling and lubricating fluids. Practical implications: The mathematical model enables a selection and application in the workshop and industrial practice of various variants of emulsion supply during the grinding of hob cutter rake face. Analysis of the multiple regression equation created on the basis of the acceptance and rejection method also allows predicting changes in the analyzed numerical model. Originality/value: The literature review has shown that no research of this type has been conducted with regard to analyses and optimisation of the grinding process during hob cutter sharpening. The results of this research are a novelty on a worldwide scale.

Purpose: The work presents the application of the Finite Elements Method in a computer simulation whose aim is to determine the properties of PVD and CVD coatings on various substrates and to optimise parameters of a laser surface treatment process of surface layers of tool steels. Design/methodology/approach: The article discusses the application of the finite elements method for simulating the determination of stresses and microhardness of Ti+TiN, Ti+Ti(CN) and Ti+TiC coatings obtained in a magnetron PVD process on a substrate of sinter high-speed steel, of Ti/Ti(C,N)/CrN, Ti/Ti(C, N)/(Ti, Al)N, Ti/(Ti, Si)N/(Ti, Si)N, Cr/ CrN/CrN, Cr/CrN/TiN and Ti/DLC/DLC coatings obtained in a PVD and CVD process on magnesium alloys, of graded and monolayer coatings (Ti, Al)N, Ti(C,N) produced with the PVD arc technique on a substrate of sintered carbides, cermets and oxide tool ceramics and tool steel remelted and alloyed with a high-performance diode laser (HPDL). Modeling of stresses was performed with the help of finite element method in ANSYS and MARC environment, and the experimental values of stresses were determined based on the sin2Ψ. Findings: The models presented satisfy the assumed criteria, and they can be applied for the determination of properties of surface layers and optimisation of PVD and CVD processes and laser alloying and remelting. The results of a computer simulation correlate with experimental results. The models developed allow to largely eliminate costly, timeconsuming and specialist experiments which have to be done during investigations for the benefit of computer simulations. Research limitations/implications: To be able to assess the possibility of application of surface layers, a computer simulation of other properties of coatings has to be additionally carried out, and a strength analysis has to be made of other coatings coated onto various substrate materials. Originality/value: value Computer simulation and modelling is an interdisciplinary field necessary for the development of science and technology, enabling to perform direct visualisation of properties, which cannot be identified in experimental observations. The purpose of computer simulation and modelling is to improve the ability to predict results and to optimise solutions.

The possibility to apply the Finite Element Method to calculate internal stresses which occur in Ti+TiN, Ti+Ti(CxN1-x) and Ti+TiC coatings obtained in the magnetron PVD process on the sintered high-speed steel of the PM HS6-5-3-8 type. For the purpose of computer simulation of internal stresses in coatings with the use of MES, the correct model of analyzed specimens was worked out and then it was experimentally verified by comparison of calculation results with the results of computer simulation. Accurate analysis of correlations indicated especially strong dependence between internal stresses and microhardness and between microhardness and erosion resistance what created conditions for establishing the dependence between internal stresses obtained in the result of computer simulation and erosion resistance as basic functional quality of coating. It has essential practical meaning because it allows to estimate predictable erosion resistance of coating exclusively on the base of the results of computer simulation for used parameters in the process of coating manufacturing.

EN
Purpose: To compare the impact of different bridge constructions and different loads on stress distribution in bridges. Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted on 96 computer models of both premolars and molars that simulated a missing second premolar restored with a bridge supported on crown inlays or onlays. Simulations were made of a bridge constructed from four different materials: Au alloy, Cr/Ni alloy as well as two kinds of glass fibre-reinforced composites: Targis Vectris and FibreKor /Sculpture. The study was conducted using the finite element method (FEM). The results were analysed with PQStat statistical software version 1.6. Findings: In none of the analysed cases did stresses appear capable of damaging the bridge construction. Reduced stresses were lower in glass fibre reinforced composite materials than in metal alloys. Practical implications: The force application point has a decisive influence on stress distribution in the hard dental tissue and in bridges. The highest stress values occurred at the loading of the pontic tooth. Originality/value: The force application point has a decisive influence on stress distribution in the hard dental tissue and in bridges. The highest stress values occurred at the loading of the pontic tooth.

Originality/value: Introduced model can be obtain in industry to reduce manufacturing costs of materials. It can also simplify material selection, when engineer must properly choose the chemical elements and adequate plastic and/or heat treatment of stainless steels with required mechanical properties.

W artykule przedstawiono wykorzystanie technik numerycznych do analizy procesów kształtowania plastycznego metali i ich stopów. Projektując nowe technologie, narzędzia i maszyny można już w początkowej fazie prac optymalizować parametry procesu, a często nawet rozwiązania konstrukcyjne, eliminując w ten sposób przynajmniej część prób wdrożeniowych. Jest to szczególnie istotne w przypadku technologii nowych i stosunkowo drogich, gdzie trudno jest przewidzieć końcowy efekt, a każdy popełniony błąd wiąże się z dużymi nakładami finansowymi. Do tego typu procesów można zaliczyć również gięcie indukcyjne rurociągów, w którym koszt materiału wejściowego – rur – liczony jest w setkach tysięcy złotych. Dlatego też w takich przypadkach w pełni zasadne jest prowadzenie przedwdrożeniowych analiz w wirtualnej przestrzeni komputera, które pozwolą na określenie optymalnych parametrów procesów, gwarantujących uzyskanie łuków o wysokich parametrach geometrycznych i wytrzymałościowych, spełniających wymogi stawiane przez Urząd Dozoru Technicznego. Wykorzystując techniki numeryczne zamodelowano proces gięcia łuków rurowych z lokalnym nagrzewaniem giętej rury. W trakcie obliczeń wyznaczono geometrię giętych rur, a także określono rozkłady intensywności odkształceń, naprężeń, temperatur oraz kryterium pękania. Uzyskane wyniki zweryfikowano doświadczalnie w warunkach przemysłowych w Zakładach Remontowych Energetyki Katowice SA.

Presented is the application of numerical techniques for the analysis of metals and their alloys shaping processes. When designing new technologies, machines and tools one can even in the initial stage optimize a process parameters and also often a construction solutions, eliminating in this way at least a portion of implementation tests. It is especially essential in case of new and relatively expensive technologies where it is difficult to predict the final effect and every mistake results in big financial outlays. To such type of processes we can include induction bending where the cost of feed material i.e. pipes is counted in many hundred thousand zlotys. That is why in such cases it is reasonable to carry out pre-implementation analyses in a computer virtual space which allow determination of optimum process parameters guaranteeing to obtain bends of high geometric and strength parameters and fulfilling all requirements needed by the Technical Supervision Office (UDT). The pipe bending process with local heating of a bended pipe is modelled with the use of numerical techniques. Determined is the bended pipes geometry as well as intensity distributions of deformations, stresses, temperatures and a cracking criterion. The obtained results were empirically tested in industrial conditions in Zakłady Remontowe Energetyki Katowice SA facility.

Content available remote Residual stress development in railroad rails – a parametric study
EN
This paper presents the results of a parametric study undertaken to analyse the influence that changes in the material model and contact zone parameters may have on residual stress levels. A simplified shakedown based mechanical model is used to estimate the residual stress distributions due to simulated contact loads. An information on final shakedown state of the rail subjected to given loading program is obtained at a substantially reduced computational cost compared to the standard incremental analysis. A 50% increase in peak contact pressure may increase the longitudinal residual stress level by over 700%. The dependence of peak residual stresses on changes in the hardening ratio is almost linear, while the dependence of peak residual stresses on changes in the yield limit indicates a quadratic relationship. The research indicates that in future applications, a simplified treatment of the rail/wheel interface is justified, as long as the peak pressure in the contact zone is estimated correctly. The residual stresses in rails induced by service conditions may reach very high values, on a par with the material yield limit. This effect is aggravated by the operating procedure of increasing wheel axle loads.

W niniejszym opracowaniu przedstawiono wyniki studium parametrycznego przeprowadzonego w celu zbadania wpływu zmian modelu materiału i parametrów strefy kontaktu na poziom naprężeń resztkowych w szynie kolejowej. Uproszczony model mechaniczny, oparty na teorii plastycznego przystosowania, został zastosowany do oszacowania rozkładu naprężeń resztkowych wywołanych symulowanymi obciążeniami kontaktowymi. Stwierdzono, że 50% wzrost maksymalnego ciśnienia w strefie kontaktu skutkuje wzrostem maksymalnych naprężeń resztkowych o około 700%, przy czym zależność maksymalnych naprężeń resztkowych od zmian współczynnika wzmocnienia materiału szyny ma charakter liniowy, podczas gdy zależność tych samych naprężeń od wartości granicy plastyczności ma charakter kwadratowy. Przeprowadzone obliczenia wskazują, że uproszczone traktowanie strefy kontaktu koło/szyna jest uzasadnione, jak długo maksymalne wartości ciśnienia w tej strefie są oszacowane poprawnie. Naprężenia resztkowe w szynie kolejowej, wywołane przez obciążenia eksploatacyjne kołami taboru, mogą osiągnąć bardzo duże wartości, porównywalne z wartością granicy plastyczności materiału. Efekt ten pogłębia się na skutek zwiększania obciążeń na oś taboru.

Mathematical modeling of thermal processes combined with the reversible phase transitions of type: solid phase – liquid phase leads to formulation of the parabolic or elliptic moving boundary problem. Solution of such defined problem requires, most often, to use some sophisticated numerical techniques and far advanced mathematical tools. The paper presents an analytic-numerical method, especially attractive from the engineer’s point of view, applied for finding the approximate solutions of the selected class of problems which can be reduced to the one-phase solidification problem of a plate with the unknown a priori, varying in time boundary of the region in which the solution is sought. Proposed method is based on the known formalism of initial expansion of a sought function, describing the field of temperature, into the power series, some coefficients of which are determined with the aid of boundary conditions, and on the approximation of a function defining the freezing front location with the broken line, parameters of which are determined numerically. The method represents a combination of the analytical and numerical techniques and seems to be an effective and relatively easy in using tool for solving problems of considered kind.

Purpose The main purpose of the work is the description of the low-cycle fatigue process of mine powered roof supports working under mechanical high loading. The work focuses on the chosen component strain-stress characteristics. The issue of modelling the stress-strain behaviour of powered roof supports components during low-cycle fatigue has been discussed. Design/methodology/approach: The FEM modelling and Neuber’s method have been used to describe the local stress-strain behaviour of the chosen component. Findings: In the examined devices, variable stress and strain values were calculated for a chosen characteristic load cycle. Diagrams in the form of a hysteresis loop determined using Neuber’s hypothesis and FEM were compared. The values of the range of equivalent strain determined for multiaxial stress states using the finite element method proved to be close to those estimated via Neuber’s method. Research limitations/implications: The presented analysis is the part of the complex investigation method which main purpose is increasing the accuracy of the low-cycle fatigue process description. In such situation the investigations curried out in the work give the model approach and data for the comparison the real behaviour with the predictions. However the work is focused only on the chosen component and chosen characteristics of loading. Practical implications: The method of stress-strain behaviour analysis used in the paper could be useful in the practical cases when the real components mechanical behaviour would be analysed and their fatigue life would be assessed. Originality/value: The main value of this paper is the own method of the mechanical behaviour analysis of the powered roof support component. This method includes FEM modelling and Neuber’s method of the stress-strain characteristics assessment. The material stress-strain behaviour has been treated as the local phenomenon that could be modelled.

Purpose: The aim of this work is to present the use of composite materials in the construction of freight cars. Particular attention was paid to the use of these materials in the construction of a freight wagon door. It is dangerous when mechanical damage is made to wall panels of a wagon during transport. Improperly distributed transported material can exceed the allowable stress level and thereby damage the lining of the wagon. One possible solution to this problem is replacing steel plates with composite panels which have better mechanical properties and do not cause an increase of the nominal weight of a freight wagon. Design/methodology/approach: Experimental studies included: develop a research methodology of experimental tests of deformation of the wall door of a freight wagon. using strain gauge, placing strain gauges at key points, performed single-layer and double layer laminate panels with steel plates. Findings: Composite materials made of 5 mm steel plate and a multilayer laminated panels can be used in the construction of freight cars. Research limitations/implications: An expanded scope of the studies would include an analysis and synthesis of composite panels of various thicknesses, depending on the degree of damage to the hull of a freight wagon. Practical implications: Composite panels can be applied in the repair and construction of freight wagon shells. The obtained result shows the possibility of reducing the weight of the whole railway carriage and the price of a wagon repair, eliminating the need to completely remove the shell. Originality/value: Innovative use of composite panels in the repair and construction of structural elements of freight wagons, is new to the Polish scale. Initially DB Schenker Poland, is development of interest in further research and implementation of new technology.
