The article presents the concept of constructing a bicycle frame made of profiles and universal connectors, so that the user can build a frame adapted to his height. The geometry of spatial models was developed and the durability of the proposed solutions was analyzed.
The paper concerns the application a high-pressure abrasive waterjet (AWJ) for cutting the most commonly used rock materials such as granite, limestone, basalt and marble. Based on the analysis of the literature, the influence of parameters on the specific energy Ev, specific energy of cutting Er and specific energy of intersection Ea was determined. Experimental studies were carried out on a laboratory test stand in accordance with a five-level rotating experiment plan. The results of the research were subjected to statistical processing, obtaining regression equations. The influence of the pressure and diameter of the abrasive waterjet on the energy consumption of rock cutting was tested. The effect of the stream power, feed speed and pressure on the cutting depth with the AWJ was also determined. The data obtained made it possible to evaluate the machinability of the rocks as a function of the power of the jet. These analyses were supplemented with charts illustrating the influence of the most important technological parameter of the cutting process, which is the feed speed. The presented results provide answers to the energy and time requirements for efficient cutting with the AWJ of frequently used rock materials.
Rocks are materials with a wide variety of structures and properties. These can be unprocessed conglomerates of conglomerated minerals as well as crystallized outcrop or metamorphic rocks. Their processing, especially shaping, poses many technological difficulties. Therefore, it is very important to answer the question of how these natural materials yield to high-pressure water jet and abrasive water. It is equally important to determine the effect of key process parameters such as pressure, water nozzle diameter and feed rate on cutting efficiency. The first two parameters determine the water output and power of the jet, while the third determines the jet erosion time per unit volume of material. Their interdependence, using appropriate evaluation indicators, allows to determine the energy intensity of processing and directions for its minimization.
The article presents the concept of constructing a mobile trolley designed for transporting a tire changer. Its main feature is easy assembly and disassembly. So that, it is possible to store the dismantled device when it is not in use. In this way, it occupies very little space in the workshop. The use of CAD systems has enabled the development of geometry of spatial models and carrying out the necessary strength analyzes of the developed structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
