The most common method of post-weld finishing is grinding with an abrasive tool. This finishing method leads to the occurrence of faults on the treated surface: locations missed or hardened twice, structural notches and stretching residual stress in the surface layer. The faults mentioned lead to the creation and development of ordinary as well as fatigue cracks, seizing or other damage. In addition, grinding is a process that often involves manual labour, which significantly increases the time required for finishing the procedure. Moreover, it is impossible to automate this process. Also, grinding is a process that is damaging for both people and the environment. In contrast to grinding and other processes of post-weld surface finishing, the innovative method, which is the subject of this article, does not have the faults and inconveniences of the previously mentioned techniques. The post-weld surface finishing method by moving of the innovative multi-edge cutting tool along the weld bead is presented in this article. In this method, machining allowance is treated as the weld bead height, which is flush-removed with the base material in one step during one pass of the cutting tool. The adjacent teeth height of changing and increasing according to the direction of feed and the difference in height between the first and last teeth are equal to the weld bead height. The number of cutting teeth necessary to flush-finish the weld bead with the base metal surface depends on the difference in the first and last teeth height and how it is divided. The tooth length is greater than half of the distance between the adjacent cutting teeth, which enables finishing the heterogeneous post-weld surface with many defects and increased hardness. The innovative method is characterised by short machining time of the weld bead and provides an accurate, efficient and economical process.
Samojezdne maszyny górnicze takie jak kołowo-oponowe wozy wiercące charakteryzują się budową przegubową oraz wyposażone są w wysięgniki z organami roboczymi wysuniętymi daleko poza obrys podwozia. Taka konstrukcja powoduje, że maszyny te są podatne na utratę stateczności. Stąd też konieczne jest analizowanie rozkładu mas oraz ich szeroko pojętej stateczności podczas całego procesu projektowania, przy uwzględnienie wielu czynników wynikających ze sposoby i warunków ich pracy. Jednak brak jest odpowiednich modeli obliczeniowych pozwalających na przeprowadzenie badań analitycznych dla maszyn o takiej konstrukcji. W artykule przedstawiono autorski system wspomagający szybką ocenę stateczności jedno i dwuwysięgnikowych wozów wiercących. Model pozwala na przeprowadzenie analiz bez konieczności rozwiązywania równań różniczkowych występujących w modelach dynamicznych oraz bez stosowania badań modelowych za pomocą narzędzi CAD/CAE. Opracowany model obliczeniowy został zweryfikowany przez porównanie uzyskanych wyników z wynikami z pełnego modelu dynamicznego, z wynikami badań modelowych przeprowadzonych w programie CAD/CAE oraz z wynikami badań empirycznych nacisków kół i podpór na podłoże dla wybranego wozu wiercącego. Na podstawie weryfikacji i walidacji tego modelu stwierdzono jego pełną poprawność oraz przydatność. Model został wykorzystany do opracowania praktycznego i łatwego w obsłudze arkusza obliczeniowego. Następnie przeprowadzono badania analityczne stateczności wybranego wozu wiercącego. Model obliczeniowy jak i arkusz kalkulacyjny stanowią podręczne narzędzie wykorzystywane podczas procesu projektowania przez jedną z polskich firm produkujących wozy wiercące.

Underground mining machines, such as wheel-tyre drilling rigs, are articulated and equipped with booms that project far beyond the undercarriage. Such a structure makes these machines prone to lose stability. Hence, it is necessary to analyse the distribution of masses and geometry as well as their broadly understood stability during the entire design process, taking into account many factors resulting from the manner and conditions of their operation. However, there are no ap-propriate computational models that would enable carrying out analytical tests for machines with this kind of construction. The article presents the author's support system which allows a quick assessment of the stability of single- and twin-boom drilling rigs. The model makes it possible to perform analyses without having to solve differential equations present in dynamic models or using model studies based on CAD/CAE tools. The developed computational model was verified by comparing the obtained results with the results of the full dynamic model, the results of model tests carried out in the CAD/CAE program and the results of empirical tests of wheel and jack pressures on the ground for the selected drilling rig. Based on the verification and validation of this model, it was found to be fully correct and useful. The model was used to prepare a practical and user-friendly calculation sheet. Next, analytical tests of the stability of the selected drilling rig were carried out. The computational model and the spreadsheet provide handy tools used during the design process by one of the Polish companies producing drilling rigs.

Potentially hazardous side-channels of complex geometry need to be investigated using detailed hydraulic physical models. This study aims to analyse the cross-waves pattern and pulsating flow using a side-channel spillway physical model. This study compares the cross-waves pattern were measured using an experimental installation set to generate cross-waves on the surface (original series) with another structure that did not produce cross-waves (modified series). The results showed that the geometry of the left wall caused instability in flow patterns and secondary flows. The starting point of Q2 discharge was detected by minor turbulence on the water surface near the left wall at a water depth of 3.3 m at the starting point of the wall, but with no overtopping. Cross-waves formed downstream at the right wall crosswise, lower than at the left wall. The height of the cross-wave increased substantially from Q100 to Q1000 discharges leading to overtoppings near the left wall at a water depths of 4.2 and 5.0 m at the starting point of the wall, and near the right wall at a water depths of 3.8 and 4.0 m at the upstream point of the wall. The modifications provided optimal hydraulic conditions, i.e. elimination of cross-waves and non-uniform flows. The Vedernikov and Montouri numbers showed that both original and modified series did not enter the area where the pulsating flow occurred. This indicated that both series were free from the pulsating flow.
Shifting masses in a confined space in the company of other machines and devices, which limits the manoeuvring and transport area, poses a significant problem in every field of industry, especially with underground mining. The works involved in transporting and manoeuvring masses in underground workings are challenging and are most often performed using various auxiliary machines or manually. Hence the need arose to develop a device carrying out activities related to the shifting of masses with the assumed maximum value. The device was created as a result of cooperation between FAMA sp. z o.o. and the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków, Poland. The mining modular transport and assembly unit (MZT-M) enables assembling and transporting various masses, especially the elements of the roadway support in the face. The primary function of this device is its movement in the excavation along with the transported mass and delivering it to a specific place. Therefore, an important issue is to ensure the module’s stability in different phases of its operation (lifting, transport, manoeuvring, feeding, lowering) due to the limited space in the excavation. That is why an analytical model and specialised software were created to determine the design parameters of the device as a function of its operating phases, especially the counterweight’s mass. As previously mentioned, an analytical model (physical, mathematical) with equations and applications written in Microsoft Visual Studio and Matlab was used for this purpose. It is beneficial at the design or construction changes stage. Calculation results are documented in the form of numerical summaries and graphs.
In this paper, a nonlinear balancing cube system is considered, the concept for which is based on an inverted pendulum. The main purpose of this work was the modelling and construction of a balancing cube with the synthesis of the control system. The control objectives included swing-up and stabilization of the cube on its vertex at an unstable equilibrium. Execution of the intended purpose required, first, deriving a cognitive mathematical model. It was based on the Lagrange method. Next, a mathematical model for control purposes was derived. The project of the physical model of the balancing cube was presented. A stabilization system based on a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) was developed. Moreover, a swing-up mechanism was used to bring the cube close to the upper equilibrium point. The algorithm switching condition was important to enable the correct functioning of the system. The developed control system was verified in the Matlab environment. Finally, verifying experiments and comparisons among models (mathematical and physical) were performed.
Energy dissipator functions to dissipate the river-flow energy to avoid longitudinal damage to the downstream river morphology. An optimal energy dissipator planning is essential to fulfilling safe specifications regarding flow behavior. This study aims to determine the variation of energy dissipators and evaluate its effect on the hydraulic jump and energy dissipation. For this purpose, a physical model was carried out on the existing weir condition (two steps). It was also carried out on four stepped-weir variations, i.e., three-step, three-step with additional baffle blocks at the end sills, four-step, and six-step. Dimensional analysis was employed to correlate the different parameters that affect the studied phenomenon. The study shows a three-step jump shows a significantly higher Lj/y1 ratio, which is an advantage to hydraulic jumps’ compaction. The comparison of energy dissipation in all weir variations shows that the three-stepped weir has wasted more energy than other types. The energy dissipation increase of the three-step type is 20.41% higher than the existing type’s energy dissipation and much higher than other types. The dimensions of the energy dissipation basin are the ratio of the width and height of the stairs (l/h) of the three-step type (2.50). Therefore, this type is more optimal to reduce the cavitation risk, which damages the river structure and downstream area.
Cutting blasting has been widely used for tunnel excavation. The cutting forms significantly influence the blasting effect. This research focuses on the study of the relationship between cutting forms and blasting effects. Similarity theory is proposed for the experimental study of the rock blasting using small models. Then four experimental modes with different cutting forms are used to study the blasting effect due to the cutting forms. The cutting depth, borehole utilization rate, fragments volume, and average fragment size are analysed. The blasting effects with various cutting forms are compared. The influences of the borehole space and the blasting delay are discussed. It is concluded that the spiral cutting form can produce more fragments and is recommend for the small section tunnel excavation.

Small scale experiments provide limited mechanistic insight on the evolution of the cross-sections of the channel in a deltaic system. Here, we report the results of a large-scale tank experiment on the deltaic processes in a new river course into the Qinglan Lake. The depositional body occurred from upstream to downstream in the new river course in the depositional processes. Three depositional styles have been observed in the delta building: levee, stable-bar, and wandering-bar. Single thread and braided channels have been formed with deposits of levee style and stable-bar style. Wandering-bar style, which is an autogenic process, refers to the switching in the location of the main silting zones at different spatial–temporal scales and is frequently accompanied by avulsion, river braiding, and mainstream migration. The elevation of levees and bars increased to the bankfull elevation in the blocked river reach in the first 30~40 years and impacted the main channel flow. Comparing to the blocked river reach, the evolution of the bankfull elevation and geomorphic coefficient B0.5/H (B is width, H is water depth) of the cross-sections in the new reach indicates that the evolution pathways of the cross-sections could be divided into two stages: convergent stage and autogenic feedback stage. The convergent stage refers to a positive feedback loop, while the autogenic feedback stage is dominated by autogenic process. The present study shows the diversity of landforms, complex feedbacks and internal thresholds of a seasonal deltaic system, and the results provide another view on hydraulic geometry.
With a view to determining the dynamics and possible trauma sustained by a disabled person in a wheelchair in the passenger compartment of a bus, a physical model has been developed. The system, as the time function, generalized in the coordinates X(t), (t), was described by second-order Lagrangian differential equations. The proposed mathematical model allows for determining the motion characteristics of disabled people in a wheelchair in a bus that can cause injuries. This paper presents the curves of the change in coordinates of the angular velocity of the head and its center of gravity, as well as the curve of the change in the angle between the femur and the wheelchaior seat, through mathematical modeling and an experiment.
Modelowanie fizyczne, jako technika badawcza zjawisk występujących w trakcie procesów przemysłowych, często rozumiane jest jako prowadzenie eksperymentów z wykorzystaniem modeli fizycznych urządzeń, w których te zjawiska zachodzą. Takie rozumowanie jest błędne. Modelowanie to proces składający się z wielu etapów, zarówno czysto abstrakcyjnych (koncepcyjnych), jak i technicznych. Proces modelowania rozpoczyna się w momencie podjęcia decyzji o jego zastosowaniu, a kończy wraz z uzyskaniem zadowalających rezultatów. Jednym z ważniejszych etapów procesu modelowania jest wybór adekwatnej do badań i stosowanych rodzajów znacznika aparatury pomiarowej, a w szczególności czujników pomiarowych. Ich synchronizacja i rzetelna kalibracja mają fundamentalny wpływ na jakość i rzetelność uzyskiwanych wyników badań. W artykule przedstawiono sposób realizacji tego etapu procesu modelowania, posługując się przykładem fizycznego modelu wodnego stanowiska pieca kadziowego.

Physical modelling - a research technique for studying the phenomena occurring during industrial processes - is often only perceived as conducting experiments using physical models of devices in which these phenomena occur. Such perceptions are wrong though. Physical modelling is a process consisting of many stages, some purely abstract (conceptual) and some technical. The process commences by setting clear assumptions of its application; and concludes once these assumptions are met. An important stage of the modelling process is the careful selection of measuring equipment, in particular measuring sensors. The sensors’ synchronisation and precise calibration have a fundamental impact on the quality of the final results. This article presents a method of implementing the measuring sensors in the modelling process, using the example of a physical water model of a ladle furnace.

Water model investigations gave Residence Time Distributions curves type F, which allowed to define the transition zone between two different grades of steel during the sequential casting process. The Ansys-Fluent computer program was used for numerical simulation of non-metallic inclusions behaviour in the liquid steel and for estimation of inclusions removal level from liquid steel during casting.
The construction of a water intake along the wharf shoreline can realise the intensive and comprehensive utilisation of the shoreline. However, since the water intake will increase the lateral flow at the wharf and also the hydrodynamic forces on ships, it will bring risks to ships mooring and leaving. The effects of the water intake on ships are studied using a physical model, numerical model and standard formulas. The results show that it leads to an increase of the hydrodynamic forces acting on the ship when the standard formulas are used to calculate the forces without considering the water level difference between the two sides of the ship. The results of the physical model are closer to the real situation. Measures that can effectively reduce the influence of the water intake on ships are proposed by increasing the distance between the wharf front and the front of the water intake as well as the depth of the water inlet windows.

One of the main elements of heating systems is a heating device, whose construction is constantly being improved upon on thanks to the development of the science surrounding the materials’ physical and chemical properties of the working bodies, manufacturing and application technologies. This article is devoted to the development of a physical model of complex heat exchange between an electric infrared radiant heating panel based on an amorphous metallic radiating plate located in the middle of the panel and surrounding solids and air. The developed physical model is described by mathematical equations taking into account the boundary conditions of the third kind on the basis of complex heat exchange by radiation and convection both with surrounding solid bodies and passing airflow. The purpose of the solution is to determine the rational relation between the radiation and convective components of heat transfer, depending on the comfortable state of the person (observance of the technological process), and the operating modes of the heating system.

Nowadays, Warp-Knitted Spacer Fabrics (WKSF) have been widely used for many technical applications. Compressional behavior of WKSF is one of their important properties. Physical modeling is one of the solutions to predict these properties for engineered designing of WKSF. In this study, four common physical models are introduced and compared in order to simulate compressional behavior of polyester WKSF. Genetic Algorithm (GA) was applied to optimize each model parameter. The results showed that the Burger model has the highest adoption with 0.2 percent Mean Absolut Error (MAE). The effect of thickness, outer fabric structure and spacer monofilament density on viscoelastic properties of the samples were also studied.
