The purpose of this paper is to compare two different methods for describing the sedimentation in different MRFs. It was decided to obtain electric resistivity of the MR fluid under magnetic field and to measure inductance of the solenoid, which is around the MR fluid, for diagnostic of the sedimentation. The electrical resistivity of the MR fluids and inductivity of the solenoid was measured daily for 11 days for 5 different MR fluids: (Lord MRF-140CG, Lord MRF-122EG, Liquids Research Company MRHCCS4-A and Liquids Research Company MRHCCS4-B and MUDZH-3 made in A. V. Luykov Heat and Mass Transfer Institute, Minsk, BY). These two methods and according procedures are described below.

Especially, with the advancement of technology, mechanical parts need to be designed to be lighter and more durable. In the industry, gears are the most common power transmission equipment, and for this equipment, increasing durability and rigidity has an essential importance. During power transmission, undesired vibration and noise arise in gear systems. In addition to gear design, gearbox housing design is also essential to reduce the radiation of undesired structure-borne noise and vibration. In order to reduce noise and vibration levels, some modifications are frequently used on gearbox housings. In this study, three different gearbox housing designs (basic, cross and cellular) are formed and analysed by using ANSYS® software. The design alternatives for housings have been formed inside of the structure as different quantities of longitudinal and transverse stiffeners. In addition, all the external dimensions and the mass of these three housing designs are equal in order to observe just vibration and noise reduction. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), statistical properties of vibration signals and sound levels of the gearbox have used for comparisons to determine which gearbox have better vibration and sound levels.

The fractal and multifractal methods are now widely used for analysis and classification of digital images having complex structure. We present the results of the application of such methods to the images of crystallograms obtained by crystallization with additives. This technique was developed for studying images of blood crystals, and now finds increasing use in the analysis of medicines, checking food and soil quality. In this work we study images of crystallograms of various milk dilutions and crystallograms obtained with bean leave extracts. The results show that the proposed mathematical methods seem to be rather perspective both in comparing images of different classes and in obtaining classifying signs.

In the present work, we present a new algorithm for assessing causality in uni-directionally coupled chaotic oscillators with small frequency mismatch embedded in heavy white Gaussian noise. This method is based on the correlation between changes in the phase dynamics of the slave oscillator and the dynamics of the phase difference between the oscillators. To recover the phase at low signal-to-noise ratio, a nonlinear adaptive denoising algorithm based on finding sinusoidal fits to the local neighbourhood of the reconstructed phase space is used. Application of the proposed approach to master-slave Rossler systems showed that the new algorithm is well-suited for assessing the presence and direction of coupling in highly noisy uni-directionally coupled chaotic oscillators, especially in the case of weak and moderate coupling.

In order to analyze the effect of strain rate under tensile load on microcrack growth in Alpha Titanium, molecular dynamics simulation was used to analyze the results of atomic location, dislocation distribution, lattice phase transition, potential energy distribution and volume strain distribution. It was found that the cracks gradually evolved into holes after unstable propagation, and the holes were occupied by clusters on both sides of the material in the later stage under the necking of the material. The higher the tensile strain rate, the earlier the crack initiation and the larger the evolution of the through-hole. When the same strain value is reached, the lattice transformation ratio is higher under high strain rate loading. HCP is transformed into amorphous structure, BCC lattice type and a small amount of FCC type. Moreover, the larger the strain rate, the less the compatible deformation ability of the lattice is, and the more twins are produced. In addition, it is found that there are volumetric strain wave emission and diffusion in the model at the moment of void birth, and voids play a role in dividing the energy absorption region. Dislocation emission occurs at the crack tip and energy competition exists between dislocation and crack propagation.

The reliability evaluation of vibration based (VB) tests in compactness evaluation of masonry bearing parts in sensitive case study as monuments and historic construction, is here proposed. The scientific aim is through a comparison between a lot of experimental data in situ relieved for different construction with different building age and level of conservation. In detail the investigation focuses on sonic device employed in direct and indirect way, whose use is very strategic in structural conservation. Final diagrams outline sonic wave trend in function of century, loads applied in investigated masonry structural part and in combination with similar non-destructive (ND) devices as the rebound hammer.

Masonry infills are largely used in RC structures for various purposes, and in seismic zones, they are also preferred for providing earthquake resistant systems. However, due to the rigid connection between infills and RC frames, these systems are vulnerable when large deformations are demanded. Cyclic loads that are occurring during seismic excitations cause stress concentration level to increase, particularly in frame-infill contact zones. As a result of stress increment, infill panels get weaker in terms of both in-plane and out-of-plane resistance. These drawbacks cause loss of lives and properties, thus affecting governments and societies adversely. In order to overcome this obstacle, an innovative solution is proposed which uses flexible polymers (Polyurethane PM) as joint elements for protecting the structural elements. The research is focused on numerical analyses of three types of frames with masonry infills, which are excited through both in-plane and out-of-plane directions by different earthquake records. Infill walls are connected to the frames in three manners: stiffly (classical approach), with flexible joints at 3-boundaries and with flexible joints at 4-boundaries. Differences in calculated stress distribution as well as some other linear and non-linear results are presented and discussed. The primary results give promising outcomes that this new method might be used in seismic zones for protecting structures.
