Use of piezoelectric foils as tools for structural health monitoring of freight cars during exploitation

Testing of an industrial robot’s accuracy and repeatability in off and online environment

“…In order to achieve the maximum efficiency and reliability of automated and robotic production lines, numerous scientific studies are carried out aimed at both the development of technical means themselves, as well as methods for their programming and exploitation [1,2,4,5,8,10,11,13,18]. In the case of industrial robots, the accuracy and repeatability of positioning are extremely important features affecting their operation [3,6,7,12,19,21,22,26].…”

Modelling and arrangement of composite panels in modernized freight cars

“…In the presented research work an application of the composite panels to the freight wagon's body shell was proposed as the solution that can solve mentioned problems during exploitation [9][10][11][12][13][14]. The overall thickness of the composite was 5 mm and the maximum width could not exceed 1200 mm due to manufacturing restriction.…”

Evaluation of large-scale load-carrying structures of machines with the application of the dynamic effects factor

“…Therefore they must satisfy both the ultimate strength requirement as well as the fatigue strength requirement. This is particularly important in the case of mechanical structures, which are likely to undergo variable cyclic loading which, in many cases, directly result from the dynamics of structure [32]. This is the basic difference compared to large-scale load-carrying structures sciENcE aNd tEchNology [29].…”
