for The preservation of historical documents is a task that requires a multidisciplinary team. Mechanical engineering can make valuable contributions. Historical documents made of paper have unique characteristics that must be considered for their preservation and exhibition. Specially designed encasements have emerged as a solution to meet these requirements. In the present research, a comparative design study was carried out. The study comprises identifying the main functions of the encasements. Subsequently, it is analyzed how the capsules that appear in the literature have solved these functions. With the information obtained, three new encasements were designed for historical documents in Mexico. From the results and design experiences, some insights and design principles were obtained; these can be universally applied.

The article presents results of tests performed at the AGH-University of Science and Technology in Cracow on strength of single-coil inductors used as tools in electrodynamic machining of pipes. The character of volumetric Lorentz forces acting on coils of compressing and expanding inductors was discussed, and numerically determined distributions of stresses and displacements created in coils under the impact of these forces were presented. The problems presented are relevant when designing durable inductors intended for industrial applications.

Moving with the wheelchair can be a serious problem, especially when the obstacle occurs on its way. An alternative solution would be to equip the wheelchair with appropriate mechanical device, thanks to that it becomes possible to overcome barriers such as kerbs or doorsteps. In this paper, the authors present an idea of mechanism overcoming barriers by the wheelchair. Type and geometrical synthesis have been presented. The mechanism is modelled in a multibody computer analysis system and sample simulation research results are reported.

The paper presents the methodology that makes it possible to evaluate computational model and introduce current corrections to it. The methodology ensures proper interpretation of nonlinear results of numerical analyses of thin-walled structures. The suggested methodology is based on carrying out, in parallel to nonlinear numerical analysis, experimental research on some selected crucial zones of load-carrying structures. Attention is drawn to the determinants concerning the perfor-mance of an adequate experiment. The author points out on indicating the role of model tests as a fast and economically justified research instruments practicable when designing thin-walled load-carrying structures. The presented considerations are illustrated by an example of a structure whose geometrical complexity and ranges of deformation are characteristic for modern solutions applied in the load-carrying structures of airframes. As the representative example, one selected the area of the load-carrying structure that contains an extensive cut-out, in which the highest levels and stress gradients occur in the conditions of torsion evoking the post-buckling states within the permissible loads. The stress distributions within these ranges of deformations were used as the basis for determining the fatigue life of the structure.

Nowadays, self-climbing formworks are commonly used in the construction of concrete buildings with a great height, such as high-rise buildings, silos, and bridge piers. A regular formwork can be improved to have more functions, e.g., the formwork itself can climb to the desired construction site. Climbing characteristics of the formwork as well as opening and closing characteristics of the formwork shell are essential criteria for evaluating the performance of a self-climbing formwork. The effective ones were mentioned in different studies, where most of them were published in patents of countries, e.g., the United States and China. Dissimilar from these studies, this paper presents several improvements for some certain groups to enhance the features of a hydraulic self-climbing formwork. Based on the analysis of the composition and the working principle of the actual climbing formwork types, a new opening and closing method of the formwork shells and a new rail clamping device are suggested. They are applied to design a self-climbing formwork with the shell’s working size of 4 m × 3 m. Their load capacity, as well as the flatness of the concrete surface after casting, are assessed. The proposed solutions can result in various advantages, e.g., the shorter initial alignment time, the increase of the quality concrete surface, and the maximal automation for construction operations.
如今,自爬模板普遍用于高层建筑、筒仓、桥梁桥墩等高度较大的混凝土建筑物的施工。普通模板可以改进,使其具有更多的功能,例如,模板本身可以爬到所需的施工地点。模板的爬升特性和模板壳的启闭特性是评价自爬升模板性能的重要标准。在不同的研究中提到了有效的药物,其中大多数是在美国和中国等国家的专利中发表的。与这些研究不同的是,本文提出了对某些特定组的改进,以提高液压自爬模板的性能。在分析实际爬型模板的组成和工作原理的基础上,提出了一种新的模壳启闭方法和一种新的钢轨夹紧装置。应用它们设计了一个壳体工作尺寸为4 m × 3 m的自爬升模板。评估了它们的承载能力以及浇筑后混凝土表面的平整度。提出的解决方案可以带来各种优势,例如,缩短初始对齐时间,提高混凝土表面质量,并最大限度地实现施工操作的自动化。

In times of rapidly progressing globalization, the possibility of fast long-distance travel between high traffic cities has become an extremely important issue. Cur-rently, available transportation systems have numerous limitations, therefore, the idea of a high-speed transportation system moving in reduced-pressure conditions has emerged recently. This paper presents an approach to the modelling and simulation of the dynamic behaviour of a simplified high-speed vehicle that hovers over the track as a magnetically levitated system. The developed model is used for control system design. The purpose of passive and active suspension discussed in the text is to improve both the performance and stability of the vehicle as well as ride comfort of passengers travelling in a compartment. Comparative numerical studies are performed and the results of the simulations are reported in the paper with the intent to demonstrate the benefits of the approach employed here.

The peculiarity of offshore cranes, i. e. cranes based on ships or drilling platforms, is not only a significant motion of their base, but also the taut-slack phenomenon. Under some circumstances a rope can temporarily go completely slack, while a moment later, the force in the rope can increase to nominal or even higher value. Periodic occurrence of such phenomena can be damaging to the supporting structure of the crane and its driver. In the paper, mathematical models of offshore cranes that allow for analysis of the taut-slack phenomenon are presented. Results of numerical calculations show that the method of load stabilization proposed by the authors in their earlier works can eliminate this problem.
