Physical Simulation and Mathematical Modelization with Hardness Distribution Mapping of SICO Test
Hot cracks occur when thermal shrinkage, along with restraint-induced deformation, cannot be accommodated by plastic deformation. This procedure can be performed on a thermal-mechanical simulator using GLEEBLE 3500; It involves the tensile testing and determination of the hot strength and ductility of many cylindrical samples at temperatures below solidus. The Strain- Induced Crack Opening (SICO) test is an alternative to the hot tensile test during the simulated welding period.

The Importance of Pressure and Velocity Dependent Friction Coefficient in the Metal Forming Numerical Simulation
The AutoForm is among the most widely used FEM packages in sheet metal forming. Accurate simulations of the sheet metal forming are needed for developing cost effective production processes. The incorporation of advanced friction models provide improved accuracy in sheet metal forming finite element simulations. This study analyses the pressure and velocity dependent friction models applied to the simulation of sheet metal forming by the software AutoForm.

Failure Statistics of Transporting Pipelines and their Consequences
The findings of the study of long-distance oil and gas pipeline failures are essential for the industry. They can be the basis for pipeline operators’ risk analysis, integrity evaluation, and management improvement. Analysis and evaluation of Europe’s statistical findings on pipeline failure rates, causes, effects, similarities, and discrepancies in pipeline management were used to define management’s focal points and effectiveness. Suggestions on technologies and management for long-distance pipeline protection are proposed.

A Static Problem of an Inhomogeneous and Anisotropic Piezoelectric Beam
The authors published several works concerning with inhomogeneous and/or anisotropic structural elements in last years. The definition and the solution of these problems there was the main point that we used the special theory of mathematical linear elasticity which takes into account the material non-homogeneity and anisotropy. This work describes an analytical solution for a Saint-Venant torsion problem of an inhomogeneous, orthotropic, piezoelectric beam with elliptical cross

Determination of Dry Pressure Loss of a Sieve Trayed Column
In this study dry pressure drop of a sieve tray was determined with calculation (three types of correlations) and CFD simulation. During the investigation three types of gas velocity was used: 1, 1,5 and 2 m/s. Our goal was to investigate the correlation between the results of the calculations and simulation. It could be determined that the calculations in each cases overestimated (approximately with 31%, and 19%) the dry pressure drop, than the simulation.

Product Development Projects: Stakeholder Priorities when Approving a Project
The analysis is based on the responses of 112 experts on product development by a voluntary online survey. The results show that there is a remarkable difference in prioritization. Most of the development engineers stated that corporate management and project managers are time- and cost-centric. The main implication of the research is that the priorities are to explore within an organization that can support a suitable regulatory and communication system that minimizes the conflicts against the project success.

Corrosion must also be protected, EUROCORR is coming to Budapest again
The outdoor steel structures can be effectively prevented from corrosion by appropriate organic surface coatings which can provide some physical barrier against the aggressive environment, while for steel components and the steel reinforced concrete constructions, which occasionally are coming or being in contact with aqueous electrolyte solutions, the corrosion attack can also be effectively mitigated by admixing corrosion inhibitors to such technological waters or to the concrete. This paper presents some case studies to timely illustrate this important issue.

Numerical and Analytical Calculation Possibilities of Transient Heat Transfer
The heat transfer processes can be divided into two parts, first to the transient state and then the temperature profile has formed to the steady state. This type of transient heat transfer phenomena occurs for example in heat treatments, when heating industrial equipment to operating temperature, or even cooking can be mentioned. The goal of this study is to present these heat transfer processes in general and to report empirical relationships that can be used to predestine temperature values as a function of time.

Optimization Algorithms for Inverse Kinematics of Robots with Matlab Source Code
This paper presents a methodology to solve the inverse kinematic problem for any kind of robot arm using optimization algorithms. Forward kinematic is usually a straightforward analysis for any robot while inverse kinematic is hard to be solved for many cases.

Photovoltaic as a Future Pioneer
The market for solar panels was inaccessible to private individuals until the mid-1970s, but today it is now widespread and accessible to virtually anyone. We know of many applications for solar panels today, yet they can only cover a few percent of the world’s energy supply. Will they be able to spread more widely on the world market in the future and play a greater role in meeting energy needs? The article highlights the key topics needed to answer this question, such as the issue of
recyclability or price.
