Purpose: This article is presenting the Material Science Virtual Laboratory. Developed laboratory is an open scientific, investigative, simulating and didactic medium helpful in the realisation of the scientific and didactic tasks in the field of material Science. It is implemented in the Institute of Engineering Materials and Biomaterials of Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, Poland. Design/methodology/approach: The laboratory is a set of testers and training simulators, set in the Virtuality and created in several languages and the programming techniques, which interprets the properties, functionality and manual rules of actual equipment installed and accessible in the real science labs of scientific universities. Findings: Application of the equipment, that is practically imperishable, cheap in exploitation and ease in the use encourages students and scientific workers to independent audits and experiments in places, where the possibilities of their performance in the real investigative laboratory will be restricted because of the high material costs, difficult access to real equipment or the possible peril of his impairment. Research limitations/implications: The proposed solutions allow the utilisation of the developed virtual environment as a new medium in both, the scientific work performed remotely, as well as in education during classes. Practical implications: The usage possibilities of the virtual laboratory are practically unrestricted; it can be a foundation for any surveys, course or training plan. Originality/value: The project of the virtual laboratory corresponds with the global tendency for expand the investigative and academic centres about the possibilities of training and experiments performance with use of the virtual reality. This enriches investigation and training programmes of the new abilities reserved so far exclusively for effecting only on actual equipment.

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.

This paper describes the model of piercing a ballistic shield’s composite system with small arms’ projectile. Based on selected results of empirical tests, the author verified mathematical model of piercing effect. The identification was summed-up with conclusions.
The paper presents application of the Finite Element Method for determining the internal stresses occurring in the Ti+Ti(Al,N) coatings obtained in the magnetron PVD process on the PM HS6-5-3-8 type sintered high-speed steel. The model was developed using FEM, relevant for the investigated test pieces, for the computer simulation of the internal stresses in coatings, which was verified experimentally by comparing the calculation results with the experimental results.

Purpose: The main issue of this paper is to present results of finite element analysis of beams elements on unilateral elastic foundation received with a use of special finite elements of zero thickness designated for foundation modelling. Design/methodology/approach: Computer strength analysis with a use of Finite Element Method (FEM) was carried out. Findings: The paper presents possibilities of special finite elements of zero thickness which enable taking into consideration unilateral contact in construction-foundation interaction as well as an impact of surrounding construction environment to its behaviour. Research limitations/implications: Further researches should concentrate on taking into consideration a multi-layer aspects as well as elasto-plasticity of foundation. Practical implications: Modern engineering construction on elastic foundation analyze require not only standard analysis on Winkler (one parameter) foundation but also calculation of construction on two-parameter foundation which will take into consideration a possibility of loosing contact between construction and foundation (unilateral contact). Originality/value: The paper can be useful for person who performs strength analysis of beams on elastic foundation with a use of finite element method.
