In this paper the simulative model of the friction lining wear process in a winding gear, post type, brake is presented. In the modelling procedure, the wear characteristics of the friction materials and the brake variables typical for winding brakes, for example, the elastic property of the brake elements were taken into consideration. The modelling of the friction lining wear process was used to predict associated changes in the pressure distribution, and other mechanical characteristics of the brake system.

In this paper the effect on braking torque of the geometry of contact between brake shoes and drums is presented. It is shown that elastic deformation as well as errors in dimensional and assembly errors substantially affect the value of the braking torque. Investigations of pressure distribution on friction lining, brake factor, brake element deformation, and wear of linings carried out on mine winder installations are presented.

Abstract This paper presents a numerical analysis of the mechanical behavior of structural masonry panels submitted to horizontal and vertical stresses. To evaluate the design process of these structures, the results obtained by the computer simulations were compared with the results determined by the design criteria of ABNT NBR 15961-1 (2011), ACI TMS 530 (2013) and EN 1996-1-1 (2005). The finite element software DIANA v.9.3 was used to simulate two-dimensional models with the simplified micro modelling procedure. The results obtained by the normative standards were more conservative than the results of the numerical model, as expected. With the increase of the pre-compression level, the computer simulation has demonstrated the increasing trend of the values of resistant forces, besides the change of the way of rupture of the panels. Among the three standards evaluated, the American Standard was the most conservative.

A stranded wire helical spring is a cylindrical helical spring, which is usually composed of an optional core wire and several layers of twisted external wires. The mechanical behavior of the internal helically wound strand wire is critical to determining the spring performance. Based on the previous studies of the mechanical properties of wire rope, a mathematical model to calculate the curvature of the helically wound strand wires, twist, and contact force among the adjacent wires of strand wires spring is established when the spring is subjected to axial load. The proposed kinematics is based on the assumption that there is no friction among the adjacent wires. Furthermore, a parametric study of factors influencing the curvature, twist, and contact force, such as the helix angle of spring and strand and deformation types, is committed for understanding of the mechanical characteristics of the helically wound strand wires with different geometric parameters. It is found that the curvature and twist are strongly dependent upon the two angles. Moreover, this study can provide significant reference for the design and manufacturing of the spring to control the contact force among external wires.

The paper deals with the solution of the scientific and practical task of controlling the accuracy of the parameters of the process of making kefir and improving its quality by creating a heuristic analyzer based on the user interface of the fuzzy logic system. The factors influencing the accuracy of the operation of the digital meter are analyzed, the possibility of using the fuzzy logic apparatus has been proved to determine the parameters of the technological process that ensure the maximum quality of the product. Computer simulation was carried out, which confirmed that the creation of a heuristic analyzer for determining the quality of yogurt is appropriate and necessary in order to prevent the production of low-quality products through the definition of the stage of production on which there is a deviation of the technology and timely eliminate the violation.
