The article presents and experimentally confirms two approaches to the problem of determining the working area of parallel robots using the example of a planar robot DexTAR with two degrees of freedom. The proposed approaches are based on the use of constraint equations of coordinates. In the first approach, the original kinematic equations of coordinates in the six-dimensional space (two coordinates describing the position of the output link and four coordinates – the rotation angles of the rods) followed by projecting the solution onto the two-dimensional plane is used. In the second approach, the system of constraint equations is reduced to a system of inequalities describing the coordinates of the output link of the robot, which are solved in a two-dimensional Euclidean space. The results of the computational experiments are given. As an algorithmic basis of the proposed approaches, the method of non-uniform coverings is used, which obtains the external and internal approximation of the solution set of equality/inequality systems with a given accuracy. The approximation is a set of boxes. It is shown that in the first approach, it is more efficient to apply interval estimates that coincide with the extremes of the function on the box, and in the second approach, grid approximation performs better due to multiple occurrences of variables in inequalities.

This paper presents a numerical simulation and a theoretical investigation of an aluminiumconcrete composite (ACC) beam subjected to bending. ACC structures are similar to steel-concrete composite (SCC) structures. However, their girders are made of aluminium instead of steel. The use of ACC structures is limited because of the lack of relevant design rules. Due to this fact the authors suggest applying the theory for SCC structures to ACC structures. In this paper, the methods for calculating the bending resistance and the stiffness of ACC beams were presented. What is more, the results from the theoretical investigation were compared with the results from the laboratory tests conducted by Stonehewer in 1962. The calculated plastic resistance moment of the ACC beam with partial shear connection was 1.2 times lower than the bending resistance from the laboratory test. The calculated stiffness was 1.1 higher than the stiffness from the laboratory test. What is more, the authors of this paper prepared two numerical models of the ACC beam. The analysed models had different types of connection between the aluminium beam and the concrete slab. In the first variant, the aluminium beam was permanently connected with the concrete slab to model full composite action. In the second variant, the aluminium beam and the concrete slab were connected using zero-length wires, the characteristics of which were taken from the laboratory test, to take slip into account. The numerical model with zero-length springs adequately captured the elastic response of the ACC beam from the laboratory test conducted by Stonehewer.

A new analytical algorithm for determining the elastoplastic parameters for soft, medium and hard plastic cohesive soils, corresponding to *MAT_005_SOIL_AND_FOAM material model available LS-Dyna FE code, was formulated. The numerical modelling of the post-soil subsystem, applicable in the modelling of road safety barrier crash tests using this material model of the roadside dehydrated ground, was developed. The methodology was presented on the example of a Sigma-100 steel post partly driven into the soil and subjected to a static flexural-torsional test using a horizontal tensioned rope. The experimental validation of the numerical modelling and simulation was carried out on the testing site at the Automotive Industry Institute, Warsaw, Poland. The simulations were carried out for numerical models with soil solid elements with reduced integration (ELFORM_1) and full integration (ELFORM_2). The simulation results are in the form of graphs of the rope tension vs. displacement of the upper measurement point of the post and in the form of deformation of the post-soil system. It was shown that the validation experiment was carried out on the post embedded in hydrated soft plastic cohesive soil.

Intracystic fluid pressure is discussed as a potentially important factor influencing a bone cyst growth. This process can develop in the course of months. However, the exact mechanism remains speculative. In this paper, we use an established mathematical model to evaluate whether the presence of pressurized fluid in bone cavities may result in cyst growth. A continuous function of bone density rate vs. mechanical stimulus is used. The numerical model of the mandible with the cyst is used to predict the stress-stimulated change in bone density around the cavity.

The thermoplastic polymers present amorphous or semi-crystalline structures which are very important factors in describing volumetric shrinkage. The thermoplastic materials are commonly used for production of daily life products, industrial or as the prototypes. Different techniques of manufacturing polymer structures are considered like: injection molding, extrusion, milling, additive manufacturing (AM). AM is a very fast developing field in the manufacturing and research. Unfortunately, components or prototypes made using the thermoplastic semi-crystalline materials in 3D techniques have quite low mechanical strength compared to the parts made by injection molding processes. It is caused by porosity obtained during the processing, as well as by fraction of crystallinity in the volume of the components. Additionally, the volumetric shrinkage is hard to predict without knowledge of its origin. Therefore, it is necessary to consider crystallization kinetics and the melting of the analysed materials. The investigations presented in this work concern the crystallization and melting model to be implemented in the finite element (FE) analyses. With use of the model, one can predict development of the structure during the real processes and, in the future, to control the warpage of the manufactured components.

The influence of thermophoretic transport of Al2O3 nanoparticles on heat and mass transfer in viscoelastic flow of oil-based nanofluid past porous exponentially stretching surface with activation energy has been examined. Similarity technique was employed to transform the governing partial differential equations into a coupled fourth-order ordinary differential equations which were reduced to a system of first-order ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm with a shooting method. The results for various controlling parameters were tabulated and graphically illustrated. It was found that the thermophoretic transport of Al2O3 nanoparticles did not affect the rate of flow and heat transfer at the surface but it affected the rate of mass transfer of the nanofluid which decayed the solutal boundary layer thickness. This study also revealed that activation energy retards the rate of mass transfer which causes a thickening of the solutal boundary layer.

One of the factors determining comfort in buildings is the indoor air temperature of the rooms. A control system, part of the home automation system, should stabilise air temperature to the desired level, despite various disturbances such as the presence of random or occasional sources of heat. Inaccurate models of the dynamics of air temperature changes in buildings prescribe the use of robust control methods, a type of which is the sliding mode controller. This article presents the application of a sliding mode controller (SMC) to home automation systems, designed to control air temperature inside a building. The sliding-mode controller makes use of sliding surfaces, which are defined by the assumed trajectory and the system output. The control law is designed in such a way that the trajectory of the system tends to the sliding surface from any initial point and remains on it after reaching the sliding surface. In this article, a model at air temperature change dynamics inside a building is presented. The modelling approach relies on the lumped-parameter methodology, in which distributed physical properties are represented by lumped parameters (such as thermal capacity or resistance). The model takes into account the loss of heat through conduction and ventilation, as well as internal heat gain. The parameters of the model can be obtained easily from the thermal properties of the construction materials. Theoretical considerations were applied in simulation experiments and the results of these experiments confirm the performance improvement achieved by the proposed solutions.

The subject of the paper is an unsymmetrical sandwich beam. The thicknesses and mechanical properties of the beam faces are different. Mathematical model of the beam is formulated based on the classical broken-line hypothesis. The equations of motions of the beam is derived on the ground of the Hamilton’s principle. Bending, buckling and free-vibration are studied in detail for exemplary unsymmetrical structure of the beam. The values of deflection, critical force and natural frequency are determined for the selected beam cases. Moreover, the same examples are computed with the use of two FEM systems, i.e. SolidWorks and ABAQUS, in order to compare the analytical and numerical calculation. The results are presented in Tables and Figures.

This paper looks at the mechanical behaviour of wood-based beams. Laboratory tests of an I-beam show a considerable decrease of capacity in the weakened zones, e.g., at the connection between two pieces of pine wood used as a flange. We propose strengthening of the zones using fibre composite tapes based on CFRP. This article demonstrates the way for protection of the I-beam with defects in the bottom flange against the loss of load-carrying capacity. The required anchor length is determined by an analytical method formulated in the paper. The numerical results are presented. The full adhesion between CRFP and wood is assumed in the numerical simulations.
