Quick Preparation of Moisture-Saturated Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastics and Their Accelerated Ageing Tests Using Heat and Moisture
Authors: Kunioka Masao , Shimada Tomio , Hagihara Hideaki , Funabashi Masahiro , Suda Hiroyuki , Horizono Hideki
Published: June 2016

A quick method involving the control of heat and water vapor pressure for preparing moisture-saturated carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP, 8 unidirectional prepreg layers, 1.5 mm thickness, epoxy resin) has been developed. The moisture-saturated CFRP sample was obtained at 120 °C and 0.2 MPa water vapor in 72 h by this method using a sterilizer (autoclave). The bending strength and viscoelastic properties measured by a dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) remained unchanged during repetitive saturation and drying steps. No degradation and molecular structural change occurred. Furthermore an accelerated ageing test with two ageing factors, i.e., heat and moisture was developed and performed at 140–160 °C and 0.36–0.62 MPa water vapor pressure by using a sealed pressure-proof stainless steel vessel (autoclave). The bending strength of the sample decreased from 1107 to 319 MPa at 160 °C and 0.63 MPa water vapor pressure in 9 days. Degraded samples were analyzed by DMA. The degree of degradation for samples was analyzed by DMA. CFRP and degraded CFRP samples were analyzed by using a surface and interfacial cutting analysis system (SAICAS) and an electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA) equipped in a scanning electron microscope.
The Traffic Adaptive Data Dissemination (TrAD) Protocol for both Urban and Highway Scenarios
Authors: Tian Bin , Hou Kun , Zhou Haiying
Published: June 2016

The worldwide economic cost of road crashes and injuries is estimated to be US$518 billion per year and the annual congestion cost in France is estimated to be €5.9 billion. Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are one solution to improve transport features such as traffic safety, traffic jam and infotainment on wheels, where a great number of event-driven messages need to be disseminated in a timely way in a region of interest. In comparison with traditional wireless networks, VANETs have to consider the highly dynamic network topology and lossy links due to node mobility. Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC) protocols are the keystone of VANETs. According to our survey, most of the proposed IVC protocols focus on either highway or urban scenarios, but not on both. Furthermore, too few protocols, considering both scenarios, can achieve high performance. In this paper, an infrastructure-less Traffic Adaptive data Dissemination (TrAD) protocol which takes into account road traffic and network traffic status for both highway and urban scenarios will be presented. TrAD has double broadcast suppression techniques and is designed to adapt efficiently to the irregular road topology. The performance of the TrAD protocol was evaluated quantitatively by means of realistic simulations taking into account different real road maps, traffic routes and vehicular densities. The obtained simulation results show that TrAD is more efficient in terms of packet delivery ratio, number of transmissions and delay in comparison with the performance of three well-known reference protocols. Moreover, TrAD can also tolerate a reasonable degree of GPS drift and still achieve efficient data dissemination.
A Review on All Terrain Vehicle Safety
Authors: Fawcett Vanessa , Tsang Bonnie , Taheri Amir , Belton Kathy , Widder Sandy
Published: June 2016

All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) have become increasing popular in many countries around the world, both for occupational use, as well as recreational use. With an increase in popularity, and the supply of heavier and more powerful machines on the market, major traumas and deaths from ATV use are growing concerns for public health and injury prevention professionals. This review of the literature on ATVs will focus on the mechanism and patterns of ATV-related injuries, the challenges of injury prevention, and the effects of legislation and regulations regarding ATV usage. The increasing burden of injuries and the substantial economic cost from ATV-related traumas and deaths calls for intensification of injury prevention efforts. Modification of risk factors, institution of regulations and legislation, and enforcement of those rules are important steps for prevention of ATV-related harm.
Generalization Beyond Similarity: Support for Abstract Phonology
Authors: Finley Sara
Published: June 2016

The present paper provides evidence from an artificial grammar learning task that supports abstract representations for phonology. Learners exposed to a novel back/round vowel harmony pattern were able to discriminate between grammatical and ungrammatical items that contained novel affixes, even though participants rated these novel items as highly dissimilar to exposure items. These results suggest that learners do not use exemplar-based notions of similarity as a metric for acceptability, but use abstract notions of grammaticality and markedness.
Long-Distance Licensing in Harmonic Grammar
Authors: Kaplan Aaron
Published: June 2016

Positional Licensing constraints can compel a feature to spread to a prominent position such as a stressed syllable.  In Harmonic Grammar, this spreading takes a pathological form: over long distances, spreading can be blocked because it would accumulate too many faithfulness violations.  The result is an unattested system in which there is an arbitrary upper bound to the distance across which a feature can spread.  This defect is remedied here by modifying Positional Licensing so that rather than simply assigning one violation for an unlicensed feature, it assigns violations in proportion to the distance between the feature and its licensor.  It can therefore counter faithfulness regardless of the distance between trigger and target.  This reformulation necessitates other changes to avoid new problems: Positional Licensing must reward licensed features instead of penalizing unlicensed ones, and it must be couched in Serial Harmonic Grammar.  This result provides new support for those theoretical constructs, and it helps clarify the differences between OT and HG.
Extrametricality and second language acquisition
Authors: Duarte Garcia Guilherme
Published: June 2016

This paper examines how native English speakers acquire stress in Portuguese. Native speakers and second language learners (L2ers) of any given language have to formulate word-level prosodic generalizations based on a subset of lexical items to which they have been exposed. This subset contains robust as well as subtle cues as to which stress patterns are more or less productive, so that when speakers encounter novel forms they know which stress position is more likely. L2ers, however, face a much more challenging task, mainly if they are adults and have long passed the critical period. These difficulties are particularly notable in word-level prominence, where several interacting phonetic cues are involved. The trends observed across three proficiency levels in the judgement task described in this paper are consistent with a foot-based analysis, and show that L2ers successfully reset extrametricality (Yes in the L1; No in the L2) and shift the default stress position from antepenult (L1) to penult (L2). The latter is expected to follow from the former in a foot-based approach where feet become aligned to the right edge of the word as extrametricality is reset to No.
The Tunica Stress Conspiracy Revisited
Authors: Baković Eric
Published: June 2016

Kisseberth (1970b) distinguishes rules in Tunica (Haas 1940) that are subject to a constraint penalizing adjacent stresses from rules that are not subject to this constraint. This distinction appears on the surface to be particularly suited to a straightforward analysis within OT (Prince & Smolensky 1993): No-Clash is ranked above constraints responsible for the rules that are subject to it and below constraints responsible for the rules that are not. The full range of relevant facts in Tunica suggest that No-Clash is only crucially dominated and violated lexically, however; postlexically, No-Clash is undominated and there are no adjacent stresses on the surface. An analysis is within Stratal OT (Bermúdez-Otero 1999, Kiparsky 2000) is proposed and defended.
On the relationship between learning sequence and rate of acquisition
Authors: Jesney Karen
Published: June 2016

Many error-driven learning algorithms for constraint-based phonological grammars, including the Gradual Learning Algorithm for Optimality Theory and Harmonic Grammar, predict that more frequent input forms will be acquired earlier than less frequent input forms – a fact that has been commonly taken as a virtue of these models. These models also predict, however, that the rate of learning for more frequent input forms should be faster than the rate of learning for less frequent input forms. In other words, these models predict that sequence and rate of acquisition are related; structures acquired earlier in the course of learning will be acquired more rapidly, while those that are acquired relatively later will be acquired more slowly. This paper explicates these predictions and argues that they are not consistently supported by child language data.  Evidence from six children’s acquisition of consonant clusters is presented, demonstrating that, contrary to the predictions of the learning models, learning sequence and rate of acquisition are largely disassociated.
A Non-cumulative Pattern in Vowel Harmony: a Frequency-Based Account
Authors: Rebrus Péter , Törkenczy Miklós
Published: June 2016

Variation in Hungarian front/back suffix harmony is conditioned by the number and height of the neutral vowels intervening between the last back vowel of the stem and the harmonising suffix (the “Count Effect” and the “Height Effect,” respectively). This paper examines whether the Height Effect applies cumulatively in an environment where the Count Effect also applies. We find that the unexpected non-cumulative behaviour in an environment can be explained in an analogical model that crucially refers to the frequency of forms and present a quantified model that predicts the measured harmonic behaviour on the basis of the harmonic behaviour, the similarity and the frequency of the analogically related stem classes.
Design of portable rheometer with new vane geometry to estimate concrete rheological parameters
Authors: SOUALHI Hamza , KADRI El-Hadj , NGO Tien-Tung , BOUVET Adrien , CUSSIGH François , TAHAR Zine-El-Abidine
Published: June 2016

This paper presents the development of a portable vane rheometer to estimate concrete plastic viscosity and yield stress. The apparatus can be used not only in laboratory but also on construction site. In this study, new blade geometry was proposed to minimize the effect of segregation of concrete during testing, and also to expand the wide range of concrete work­ability with a slump of approximately from 7 cm to fluid concrete, and concrete with high plastic viscosity such as concrete with mineral additions. The used blade (U shaped and reversed) allows reducing the vibration of the apparatus, and ob­taining more stable measurements. The obtained results permit validating the rheometer test procedure and confirmed that the results are reliable, with a low coefficient of variation of 9% for repetitive test and of 5.8% for reproductive tests.
SEA LEVEL VARIATIONS AT THE LATVIAN COASTAL HYDROLOGIC STATIONS
Authors: Haritonova Diāna
Published: June 2016

The objective of this paper is to analyse water level variations of the Baltic Sea on the Latvian coast. This is important because the Baltic Sea exhibits a number of remarkable phenomena. One of them is the sea level variations due to winds, complicated by the shape of the gulfs and islands. Under this influence the range of the sea level variations can reach 3 m on the coasts of gulfs. However, the tidal variations of the Baltic Sea range in the order of centimetres only. In the frame of this study, using hourly time series of the sea level records from 7 Latvian coastal hydrologic stations and employing spectral analysis, it has become feasible to identify diurnal and semi-diurnal tide existence both in the Gulf of Riga and in the Baltic Sea at the Latvian coast. Totally 4 main tidal constituents (O1, K1, M2, S2) have been identified. Additionally, nontidal frequency of 5 cycles per day has been detected in the sea level time series of the stations located in the Gulf of Riga.
INTERPRETATION OF GEODETIC OBSERVATIONS OF THE HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS DISPLACEMENTS
Authors: Schults Roman , Annenkov Andriy , Bilous Mykola , Kovtun Valentyn
Published: June 2016

In the article presents a new approach to processing results of geodetic observations of the highrise buildings displacements. As a result of three cycles of observations of the spatial position of deformation marks on the facade of high-rise buildings have been obtained displacements, the nature of which does not allow to correctly determine the nature of the deformation of the building. The obtained values of displacements may correspond to the roll, the bend or twist of the building, as well as combinations of these types of deformations. In this paper, we propose a method for analyzing displacements of a high-rise building with the approximation of the results of observations by spatial curves. The equations of a line, parabolic curve, helix and conical helix were investigated. The technique of construction of displacements approximation models was gave. The approach evaluating the quality of construction of the proposed models was considered. The results showed the effectiveness of the proposed methodic. On the example of results processing of the experimental observations performed construction of displacements models. The optimal solution is obtained using a helix equation. This equation can be used for calculating the twist and bend of structures and for predicting future displacements.

We present new H (1.5–1.8 μm) photometric and K
1 (1.9–2.2 μm) spectroscopic observations of the young exoplanet HD 95086 b obtained with the Gemini Planet Imager. The H-band magnitude has been significantly improved relative to previous measurements, whereas the low-resolution K
1 (

) spectrum is featureless within the measurement uncertainties and presents a monotonically increasing pseudo-continuum consistent with a cloudy atmosphere. By combining these new measurements with literature

photometry, we compare the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the planet to other young planetary-mass companions, field brown dwarfs, and to the predictions of grids of model atmospheres. HD 95086 b is over a magnitude redder in

color than 2MASS J12073346–3932539 b and HR 8799 c and d, despite having a similar

magnitude. Considering only the near-infrared measurements, HD 95086 b is most analogous to the brown dwarfs 2MASS J2244316+204343 and 2MASS J21481633+4003594, both of which are thought to have dusty atmospheres. Morphologically, the SED of HD 95086 b is best fit by low temperature (

= 800–1300 K), low surface gravity spectra from models which simulate high photospheric dust content. This range of effective temperatures is consistent with field L/T transition objects, but the spectral type of HD 95086 b is poorly constrained between early L and late T due to its unusual position the color–magnitude diagram, demonstrating the difficulty in spectral typing young, low surface gravity substellar objects. As one of the reddest such objects, HD 95086 b represents an important empirical benchmark against which our current understanding of the atmospheric properties of young extrasolar planets can be tested.
Pierre Chevenard ou la recherche au cœur de l’entreprise moderne
Authors: Duffaut François
Published: June 2016

Cet article expose d’abord l’intervention progressive de la démarche scientifique dans l’industrie sidérurgique et le développement d’une culture de l’innovation dans l’usine d’Imphy. C’est en effet dans le cadre de sa vision stratégique pour cette usine qu’Henri Fayol lance Pierre Chevenard dans une carrière de chercheur. L’article décrit alors les apports méthodologiques de Chevenard et en particulier sa métallurgie de précision, véritable méthode pour innover. La conclusion insiste sur la pertinence de la symbiose entre recherche et stratégie de l’entreprise, tout évoquant quelques points sur lesquels la leçon que nous a laissée Chevenard mérite d’être complétée.
Henri Fayol et la théorie du chef d’entreprise : une nouvelle figure de l’autorité au tournant du XX e siècle
Authors: Hatchuel Armand
Published: June 2016

Avant d’écrire son célèbre traité, Henri Fayol fut un dirigeant, innovateur et savant, qui considérait la recherche scientifique comme une responsabilité majeure du chef d’entreprise. Or, devenue le moteur du nouveau monde industriel, la science créait aussi un rapport inédit au futur, elle forçait à penser l’inconnu. Ce constat conduit à relire Fayol comme lui-même souhaitait être lu. Loin d’être universelle et banale, sa doctrine administrative apparaît alors composée de notions originales (prévoyance, inconnu, programme d’action, perfectionnement, constitution du corps social) dont la portée théorique et politique a été sous-estimée. Fayol peut ainsi penser un nouveau chef d’entreprise sans recourir ni à la langue des affaires ni à l’économie politique de son temps. C’est dans l’héritage des Lumières et dans la philosophie politique et sociale qu’il puise pour élaborer un modèle « créatif/politique » de l’action du dirigeant d’entreprise qui marque un tournant majeur même si son message a été ensuite banalisé. Un siècle après, retrouver Fayol offre encore une ressource théorique précieuse pour penser des alternatives à la conception financiarisée de l’entreprise
Le phénomène corporatiste au prisme de l’analyse des professions. Le cas des ingénieurs des ponts, des eaux et des forêts : une profession résiliente ?

Published: June 2016

Les grands corps, survivance d’une société d’ordres, n’échappent pas à une mise en cause de leurs positions. Dans un contexte de fusion des corps et de restructuration des services, leurs territoires professionnels se transforment. Les grands corps voient leur périmètre, comme la nature de leur mission, profondément bouleversés ce qui interroge sur la manière dont ils s’adaptent ou résistent. Leur « licence » (leur expertise professionnelle) comme leur « mandat » (les missions qui leur sont confiées), au sens de Hughes, s’en trouvent affectés. Combinant ainsi les apports de l’analyse des professions, de la sociologie des élites et de l’analyse de l’action publique, cet article vise à dégager la composition d’un grand corps et à mieux cerner ses évolutions. Il met en lumière des indices de recomposition en s’appuyant sur une approche positionnelle et sur l’analyse des trajectoires professionnelles. La recherche porte sur un historique de 35 ans des données du corps des ingénieurs des ponts, des eaux et des forêts, elle repose sur une analyse sociographique. Les résultats mettent en lumière la persistance de l’ancrage du corps dans la fonction publique, une relative désaffection pour les fonctions d’expertise, et une tendance timide des plus jeunes promotions à investir de nouvelles frontières. Les auteurs s’interrogent alors sur une certaine forme de résilience corporatiste.
Introduction - Le populaire est-il soluble dans les industries culturelles ?
Authors: Djavadzadeh Keivan , Raboud Pierre
Published: June 2016

Les différents articles, qui composent ce dossier, questionnent les tensions au sein des cultures populaires, mettant en avant les interactions en constante évolution et mouvement entre les processus hégémoniques de récupération, marchandisation ou normalisation et les dynamiques contre-hégémoniques de subversion, de ré-appropriation ou d’émancipation des normes. Cette introduction, plutôt que d’imposer un cadre théorique, consiste à dresser un état des lieux des réflexions théoriques sur la culture populaire. Autour de notions clés comme celles d’hégémonie ou de populaire, elle souhaite mettre en lumière les dialogues possibles entre des traditions théoriques diverses - les cultural studies, mais aussi la sociologie de la culture, autour de Pierre Bourdieu, Claude Grignon et Jean-Claude Passeron ou encore Jean-Louis Fabiani. Au-delà, ce dossier entend également apporter modestement sa pierre à l’édifice en construction des cultural studies « à la française » et, plus encore, stimuler des réflexions et des pistes de recherches sur des sujets encore marginalisés en France malgré leur actualité.
Psychiatres normatifs vs. trans' subversifs ?
Authors: Beaubatie Emmanuel
Published: June 2016

Le débat public contemporain sur les changements de sexe oppose des experts par profession à des experts par appartenance. Avant de pouvoir accéder aux hormones et aux chirurgies, les trans’ sont soumis à une longue évaluation psychiatrique. Face à ce parcours de soins contraignant, ils militent pour le libre accès au traitement. Derrière cette controverse, il y a un clivage qui a trait au genre. La procédure diagnostique comprend un « test de vie réelle » pendant lequel il faut vivre à plein temps dans son sexe de destination, l’implicite étant que le comportement social d’une personne est fonction de son sexe. S’inscrivant majoritairement dans une approche issue des études féministes queers, les associations condamnent ce dispositif qui véhicule des stéréotypes de genre. A travers un regard sociologique pragmatique, cet article met en évidence les contingences et les contradictions des deux groupes d’acteurs en s’intéressant aux conditions d’émergence de leurs points de vue respectifs. La démonstration s’oriente ensuite vers la sociologie critique en faisant du genre non plus un élément du débat, mais un prisme d’analyse de chacune des deux expertises. Cette transition épistémologique permet d’identifier des homologies inattendues qui achèvent de questionner les termes de la polémique.
Sociologie de l’art et analyse des réseaux sociaux
Authors: Azam Martine , de Federico Ainhoa
Published: June 2016

La présentation de ce numéro consacré à l’art et aux réseaux sociaux explore les différents aspects de l’(in)articulation entre sociologie de l’art et analyse de réseaux sociaux. Même si les recherches fondatrices dans le champ de la sociologie de l’art attribuent une place centrale aux interactions et relations parmi les différents acteurs qui structurent ce « champ » ou « monde », celles qui utilisent les outils de l’analyse de réseaux sociaux sont presque inexistantes. En sens inverse, l’analyse des réseaux n’a porté attention qu’incidemment aux activités artistiques. Quelques éléments suggèrent pourtant qu’une rencontre était possible et, comme nous le montrons dans l’article, il est probable que cette ignorance mutuelle est, pour partie, due aux entrées méthodologiques privilégiées par chacun de ces champs de recherche. Des rapprochements se dessinent aujourd’hui, autant dans le domaine artistique que dans le domaine scientifique. Sur fond d’un intérêt grandissant et généralisé pour les réseaux sociaux, des artistes se saisissent de l’intérêt heuristique des graphes tandis que des chercheurs travaillent expressément la dimension esthétique des visualisations, gageant que celle-ci contribue à la compréhension du propos scientifique. Par ailleurs, et à la jonction de ces deux univers émergent des œuvres artistiques croisant problématiques sociologiques et techniques de l’analyse de réseaux. C’est dans l’optique de contribuer à ces rapprochements que le présent numéro propose des articles de jeunes chercheurs qui démontrent empiriquement la fertilité de l’articulation entre sociologie de l’art et analyse de réseaux sociaux.

Published: June 2016

Résumé À partir de l’exposition « Des ruines de valeur » montrée en 1947 à Berlin, cet article interroge l’inscription du motif de la ruine dans la ville d’immédiat après-guerre. Si les ruines font partie intégrante du paysage urbain d’après 1945, elles font toutefois l’objet d’interprétations différentes, parmi lesquelles celle que représente l’événement public « Des ruines de valeur ». S’appuyant sur des documents originaux principalement issus des archives régionales (Landesarchiv Berlin), l’analyse de cette exposition d’objets sortis des décombres et transformés en objets de première nécessité s’inscrit dans une perspective d’histoire culturelle de la destruction en Allemagne, ainsi que dans une étude de la réception de cette expérience par ses contemporains.
Marcel Réja : médecin, poète symboliste et historien de l’art asilaire
Authors: Couet Lydia
Published: June 2016

Résumé Presque totalement éclipsé par Hans Prinzhorn qui, dès les années 1920, marqua un tournant décisif dans la reconnaissance de « l’art des fous » par le surréalisme, Marcel Réja n’en demeure pas moins l’un des pionniers d’un nouveau regard artistique porté sur des créations qui n’étaient alors considérés que comme des documents d’étude diagnostique. Après un premier article paru en 1901 – « L’Art malade, dessins de fous » –, complété quelques années plus tard par la publication d’un ouvrage –  L’Art chez les fous : le dessin, la prose, la poésie  –, l’auteur manifesta son intérêt pour des formes d’expression (art asilaire, dessins d’enfants, art pariétal, médiéval, arts extra-européens, dessins médiumniques...) qui allaient ensuite s’imposer comme les nouvelles références des avant-gardes. Mystérieux médecin aliéniste dissimulé derrière le pseudonyme de Marcel Réja, Paul Meunier n’en fut pas moins un fervent amateur d’art, ainsi qu’un homme de lettres très actif dans les milieux symbolistes parisiens, qui s’avéra aussi l’un des principaux défenseurs d’artistes tels qu’Edvard Munch, August Strindberg ou Henri Héran.

The Study of the Depression Occurred under Different Types of Impellers
Authors: Mândrea Lucian , Oprina Gabriela , Băbuţanu Corina , Marin Dorian , Negreanu Gabriel
Published: June 2016

The paper presents the analytical solution used to calculate the depression which appears under different types of impellers. This solution can be useful as a preliminary calculus to estimate the magnitude of the depression created at different rotational speeds, in order not to damage the equipment from different systems, such as hydraulic turbines. The authors obtain the variable radius of the depression zone, the pressure inside the depression zone and the depression height. The theoretical approach, the calculus itself and the numerical results presented in the article are original. In order to validate the proposed calculus, experiments were carried out using two experimental setups. The performed measurements showed a good agreement of the experimental and theoretical results.
An Investigation of the Thermal Sprayed Molybdenum Coatings Behaviour to Micro-Abrasion Wear
Authors: Matache Gheorghe , Paraschiv Alexandru , Puscasu Cristian
Published: June 2016

The wear behaviour of thick molybdenum coatings deposited by electric arc thermal spray on steel support was investigated by micro-abrasion, a relatively recent introduced method for small scale wear testing. The wear mechanisms and wear rates without coatings penetration were investigated with respect of time corresponding to primary and secondary wear stages. The micro-abrasion of Mo coatings using SiC abrasive slurry have been discussed and wear scar characteristics were evaluated based on the experimentally results. The worn surfaces of the tested specimen were examined by SEM and the specific wear rate was calculated from experimental data. For the testing durations used it was identified the change from grooving to rolling wear corresponding to the transition of wear mode from two-body to three body-abrasion.

Indoor Mapping Using Low Cost LIDAR Based Systems
Authors: Tomoiagă Tiberius , Predoi Cristian , Coşereanu Liviu
Published: June 2016

There are situations like collapsed buildings or inaccessible indoor spaces for humans, when ground robots may be of the most value. Small robots will likely to get into voids and go deeper than the 18-20 feet that a camera on a probe or a borescope can go into. The ground robots would be used to try to understand the internal layout of the structure and to avoid a secondary collapse, for example. In this paper are presented some results on the attempt to create a low cost mapping and guiding system suitable for small robots based on low cost LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) devices. The aim was to create the mapping and guiding system minimizing the costs and maximizing the performances and capabilities.

Authors: Corabieru Petrică , Velicu Stefan , Corabieru Anişoara , Vasilescu Dan Dragos , Păunescu Ionel
Published: June 2016

The novelty technology lies in the fact that the hardening of the surface layers is carried out both in liquid phase and in the solid state. Technology comprises three main stages with 12 technological phases.Experimentation highlights the viability of the technological procedure. The results of tests and verifications are the basis of the analysis of combined machined parts behavior in conditions similar to the operating conditions and of the analysis of the dependence between operation behavior and durability. Analysis of the results revealed the fact that failure to technological parameters: casting temperature; hold time at high temperatures; cooling rate after microalloying in liquid phase, gives rise to possible faults of the combined treated parts.
Adaptive Hydraulic Drive of Manipulator
Authors: Ivanov Konstantin Samson , Tultayev Baurjan
Published: June 2016

At present in manipulators the hydraulic drives with one degree of freedom are used. Such drive provides single-valued function of constraint between input and output links motion. However for overcoming of variable force of resistance it is necessary to use the variable transfer ratio between input and output links. The adjustable drive should contain the controlled gear box. Such drive contradicts the demand of minimization of weight and sizes of modules of the manipulator. Use of electronic control systems for force regulating leads to extreme complication of drives, decrease in their reliability, raise of cost of manufacturing and maintenance.Recently the adaptive self-controlled mechanical systems were appeared. By analogy to the adaptive mechanism the hydraulic adaptive mechanism which provides force self-regulation without a control system has been developed and the patent for invention was received.In paper the description and research of the adaptive hydraulic mechanism and creation of the manipulator module with the simplest compact hydraulic drive are adduced.
Controlling of the 3D Space Trajectory of the Multi Robots Applications by Using the Proper Iterative Pseudo Inverse Jacobian Neural Network Matrix Method
Authors: Olaru Adrian , Olaru Serban , Mihai Niculae , Bardac Doru
Published: June 2016

In many applications we used the multi robots with the central coordination of the 3D space trajectory. In the controlling of the space movement of the end effecter of the all robots from this type of applications and the robot’s joints one of the most important problem is to solve the forward and inverse kinematics, that is different from the single robot application. It is important to know with the extreme precision the joints relative displacements of all robots. One of the most precise method to solve the inverse kinematics problem in the robots with redundant chain is the complex coupled method of the neural network with Iterative Jacobian Pseudo Inverse method. In this paper was proposed and used the proper coupled method Iterative Pseudo Inverse Jacobian Matrix Method (IPIJMM) with Sigmoid Bipolar Hyperbolic Tangent Neural Network with Time Delay and Recurrent Links (SBHTNN-TDRL).

Collision Induced Loads in Pro-Injectors of ADDA Rocket Motors
Authors: Rugescu Radu D.
Published: June 2016

The major improvement introduced by ADDA in space propulsion is the new Compound Rocket Motor concept (CRM), where, in contrast to the inefficient hybrid motors, the completion of combustion is very high. This new motor construction is also remarkable through its new injector type called pro-injector, currently under examination for patenting, with the capability of cutting out the dangerous reversed flow of the liquid component in a definitely short amount of time. The pro-injector device, quite critical when instable, high energy compounds like nitrous oxide are sprayed into the CRM combustion chamber, was designed, tested and successfully applied within the NERVA-ORVEAL project coordinated by the ADDA research team in cooperation with the AEROFINA partner. The results of the research regarding the pro-injector behavior are described. It was observed that unexpectedly high dynamic loads appear upon the seat of the pro-injector due to the collision-type motion when a shock wave in the combustion chamber develops. It is shown that such occurrence impedes application of fragile materials in the construction of the injector seat which otherwise would better serve the construction. Numerical simulations are presented as performed under rational assumptions regarding the mechanical behavior of mobile parts, in order to secure a smooth work of the device at the fast response required to downwind gas pressure shocks. The pro-injector proved being an innovative device currently submitted for patenting

On account of the steadily increasing number of road casualties, the present research study underpins a thorough investigation on the impact issue between the driver’s knee and the vehicle’s dash board. Such type of impacts tends to occur especially in frontal collisions between a vehicle and an obstacle or another vehicle. Thus, aiming at determining the impact force in the coxofemoral joint, we have carried out a series of virtual simulations by means of the LS-DYNA software package. Also, we had to consider the influence the vehicle’s velocity impact displays upon the injury degree in the driver’s lower limbs area. Furthermore, an additional method to determine the impact force in this joint was to implement a mathematical modelling of the impact phenomenon. In the end, after having completed the two processes, we sought compare the results obtained both by the virtual simulation, and mathematical modelling.

Authors: Neicu Marian Ştefan , Savii George Gustav
Published: June 2016

The paper presents a method for assessing information systems designed for the modern business environment. Unlike systems audit or established methods of software testing, the evaluation of systems for business can be made by implementing and using them in a virtual, digital factory. This, in addition to effective verification and validation of the software, can be used to evaluate how computer applications adapt to the complete information processing flows corresponding to the core processes of a real enterprise. In this way full results of good quality can be achieved at a low cost of the evaluation process.

The goal of the research is to present an integrated approach that combines multi criteria analysis and disaster and emergency management. The study is based on a well know multi criteria technique, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). An AHP model is proposed in order to define a Disaster Risk Management Performance Index (DRMPI) that quantifies the performance and effectiveness of risk management to evaluate emergency alternative problems. This model is implemented in a real case study.
Analytical Method for Determining the Static Equilibrium Position of the Rear Axles Guiding Mechanisms of the Motor Vehicles
Authors: Alexandru Cătălin
Published: June 2016

The work deals with an analytical algorithm for determining the static equilibrium position of the multi-link guiding mechanisms used for the rear axles of the motor vehicles. The method is based on the virtual mechanical work principle, considering the external forces applied to the wheels, as well the reaction forces in the elastic elements of the suspension. The equilibrium position of the guiding mechanism is established relative to the car body, considering the static model of the suspension system, in which the car body is fixed connected to ground (in other words, the car body is the reference part of the system). For determining the reaction forces in the elastic elements of the suspension (springs, bumpers and rebound elements, bushings, anti-roll bar), an original method for the positional analysis of the axle guiding mechanisms was developed and integrated in the mathematical algorithm for establishing the equilibrium position.

The study about deformations of thermoplastic polyurethane membrane (desmopan membrane) is very important for a lot of industry domains (mechanic, transport, agriculture, chemistry, medicine, ...). This paper presents an original work about deformations by Finite Elements Method (FEM) analysis for desmopan membrane. Thermoplastic polyurethane (desmopan), an anisotropic material, is made in a very wide range of models and types. By Digital Image Correlation Method (DICM) we have determined mechanical characteristics [5].These with geometrical characteristics are required as input for FEM. Stresses [2] and deformations output of FEM, are necessary to calculate the fatigue resistance to limited durability to fracture [7]. After, we can study the membrane reliability of the desmopan membranes for diaphragm pumps.

This work aims to assess how the infrastructure of production & transport of the electric energy can be annihilated in a nation-state through a cyber attack, as a particular form of manifestation of cybernetic warfare. In this study we consider that the purpose of the cyber attack is only to remove servers from service, logically or physically. There are several standards that integrate the business side of a company with the level of supervision of industrial infrastructure and with the level of control engineering. These levels are integrated and are using different protocols. To simulate cyber-attacks between the countries with flexible potential escalation there are used BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) agents which allow to separate treatment of different types of attacks. Inspired by the study of nuclear attacks implemented using the game theory, the flexibility of the BDI paradigm increases research potential of decision trees using this type of agent in other areas of human existence, like modeling human behavior at policy states makers or cyberspace executive users.

Iron ores should be separated from oxygen and impurities which are coming along during the mining process. The separation process is known as reduction. There are two types of reduction process, and the most common is direct reduction process (DRP). There are several parameters in DRP which will determine the quantities of the product known as direct reduction iron (DRI). This worked discussed the effect of reduction temperature and pellet heap to the quantities of DRI using single conveyer belt Hearth furnace. The worked was done in laboratory scale using composite pellets with 14 mm in diameter. The ratio of iron ore to coal in the composite pellet is 1 to 1. The reduction process temperatures are 500oC, 700oC and 900oC. The reduction time is 25 minutes. While the pellets heap are also varied to 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9 layers. The results show that DRI was formed in 700OC and the quantities of DRI are in line with the reduction temperatures and layers of composite pellets heap.

Manufacturing industries have consumed 30% of the total world energy. The main energy source used in those manufacturing industries is the electricity generated from fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal as a result in causing the environmental and economic issues. This paper presents an experimental study in order to get the minimum energy consumption during turning of aluminum 6010 with the conventional machine tool under dry cutting condition by optimizing the cutting parameters to contribute to those issues. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to analyze the effects and contribution of depth of cut, feed, and cutting speed on the response variable, specific cutting energy. The result of this experiment showed that the feed was the most significant factor for minimizing energy consumption followed by the cutting speed and the depth of cut. The minimum energy consumption was obtained when the highest level of cutting parameters have been used.
