    Machines. Technologies. Materials., Vol. 14 (2020), Issue 7, pg(s) 258-261

    The exact determination of strain on the load application area, regards to changing material or shape is one of the main problems of the mini structure constructions, which it does not interfere with the classical methods of linear elasticity. The main purpose of this article is to demonstrate accomplishments in the knowledge of linear elasticity with different mathematical methods, in order to penetrate into the area or into the contact lining, taking into consideration the friction between the bodies in contact. The methods and hypotheses are related to the analysis of different classical half-plane problems in loads of different types of linear elasticity. This material shows a clear original solution of the strained state in the contact area including the surface lining; it serves as a solution to the various contact plan problems. The details and the elements of the vehicles are part of a broad field, which should be optimized considering different analytical solutions and using various computer programs. These solutions can be installed in their structure. Classical methods in the details apply only when the hypotheses on studied subjects are being met, such as Material Resistance studying the Rod. A detail with a length of ten times greater than the transverse dimension. That’s the reason why extreme problems or problems out of the different hypotheses are solved and proven in practice with the most creative and sophisticated methods. The solution given in this article is an important contribution to constructive calculations, which is also associated with other works carried out by me on the friction coefficient on the flip-flop slippery contact.

    A fuzzy logic-based Anti-Lock Braking Systems

    Machines. Technologies. Materials., Vol. 14 (2020), Issue 2, pg(s) 58-60

    In today’s automobile industry, the need to adjust the speed of the vehicle and stabilize the wheels control is still a task due to road conditions and traffic. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a tool used in automobiles to prevent wheels from locking while brakes are pressed. The objective of this work is the maintenance of the wheel slip value to a desirable slip ratio as the vehicle model is simulated using a fuzzy logic controller. The analyses are made based on the slip ratio, angular velocity and stopping time.

    Mechanical and hydraulical stability of the offshore composit structure

    Mathematical Modeling, Vol. 4 (2020), Issue 1, pg(s) 22-25

    The aim of this research it was the installation of an intake sea water GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) structure in Vlore Bay. A detailed study about the extreme wave condition offshore was carried out by the SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) model. Then the mechanical structure stability calculation was performed with AxisVM8, a finite element modeler & solver. Conservative hypothesis were taken, such as to use the max static pressure value as per energy balance calculation on the sea waves. The program Fluid Flow was used to model the pipe line end with pipe chimney connections. The scope of the calculation was primarily to balance fluid flows in each chimney in order to match the range of 0, 2 – 0, 25 m/s velocity at each chimney entrance. The result of the mechanical and hydraulically stability verification for the sea water intake structure take in consideration it was positive and this structure was installed successfully.
