This paper presents a multi-body simulation model in Adams created for optimization of the dog clutch engagement process, especially minimization of the gearshift time regarding to the shape of dogs. The simulation model was validated using measurements of a prototype dog clutch engagem...

The paper is aimed at suitable approaches to the modelling and dynamical analysis of a special class of automotive differentials called limited-slip differentials. The design and function of the differential are briefly introduced and suitable multibody approaches to its modelling are propos...

This paper deals with the use of quasi-Newton methods for dynamical simulations of nonlinear flexible multibody systems which are modelled using absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). Three ANCF beam elements are briefly reminded and implemented. The Newmark integration method for index&#x...

In this paper there are presented some possible approaches suitable for the modelling of the fibre and cable dynamics in the framework of various mechanical systems: force representation of a fibre, a point-mass model and an absolute nodal coordinate formulation. Experimental measurements&#x...

The article is a step forward towards improving image segmentation using a popular method called Graph-Cut. We focus on optimizing the algorithm for processing data, in which the target object occupies only a small portion of the total volume. We propose a twostep procedure. A...

The flow in the unloading system of the control valve is modelled using the numerical simulation. The proportional flow values for various widths of the slot and openings are evaluated. The changes of the pressure and Mach number in the space of the valve are recorded...

The paper deals with optimization of a perforated plate which interacts with acoustic waves propagating in an inviscid compressible fluid. In general, the aim is to influence the acoustic signal conducted through a waveguide in which the perforated plate is fitted. Nonlocal transmission...

The design optimization of the laboratory induction pump is carried out. The forward task is formulated as a nonlinear magnetic problem that is solved by the professional code COMSOL Multiphysics. The backward (optimal design) problem is solved by Coordinate search, BOBYQA, Monte Carlo,...

Our study provides novel approach to acquiring data used in biomechanical models along with dataset of hand muscle data. It also provides a tool for generating these data, relieving researchers of some tedious labor and possibly allowing for greater reproducibility of research.

The original mathematical model of the VVER-type reactor excited by coolant pressure pulsations was derived as the linear clearance-free model in couplings. Assembly clearances in the key-groove (K-G) couplings between the lower part of core barrel (CB3) and the reactor pressure vessel ...

This paper is focused on the field of rail vehicles passive safety. The really intensive research was dedicated to the safety tram front end design in last two years. The main point of this research is to reduce the severity of the consequences of a collision between...

This contribution builds on the last year contribution, where the flutter boundary was assessed for a single aerofoil with the aid of the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) code developed for the purpose of aeroelastic flutter analysis as a part of FlowPro. FlowPro is a multipurpose...

In the contribution, several approaches to evaluating this term will be analyzed in terms of convergence properties and computing demands using test calculations on simple molecules of nitric oxide, carbon dioxide and tetrafluormethane, see Fig. 1, with interatomic distances scaled by a ...

Pelvic organ prolapse is a pelvic floor disorder occurring when the tissue and muscles of the pelvic floor no longer support the pelvic organs resulting in the drop from their normal position. The pelvic organs include the vagina, uterus, bladder, urethra, and rectum. The blad...
