The process of composting of biowaste, while ensuring the necessary conditions and depending on the composition of composted material can be carried out in natural conditions. If we want to influence the speed and stability of the process of degradation of organic matter from biowaste, it is necessary that one or more influencing factors control th...

This paper studies the differential equation of the second order in the segment [0, π] with varying delays. Construct a characteristic function of the operator generated by this equation and the boundary conditions at the ends of space, studying certain generalization of these operators, which naturally imposed....

Austempered Ductile Iron is a class of ductile iron subjected to a specific heat treatment process (austenitization and austempering). The heat treatment gives to that type of Ductile Iron an excellent mechanical properties and an especially good strength-to-weight ratio. However, designers in most cases are unfamiliar with this material that can c...

Each system requires regular maintenance including wind power. Modern maintenance of wind powers is based in the diagnosis of the state of the wind power, which is realized through measuring parameters of wind power system and data processing by the established methods. This paper presents the modern methods used to control the state of the wind fa...

Mixed-mode fracture in delamination test utilizing double cantilever specimens loaded with bending moments is investigated in the paper. FEM simulations are performed using cohesive zone model where different configurations of test loadings and two critical fracture energy values, ie. two fracture process zone lengths, are considered. Fracture ener...
