COMPARISON OF ANALYTICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF BENDING FORCE
Analytical solutions to a problem are a combination of natural laws, mathematical rules and approximations. The only way to determine whether analytical solutions correspond to reality is experimental verification. In this paper, approximate analytical solutions of the purely plastic bending force with and without strain hardening of the ...

ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF V-DIE WIDTH ON K-FACTOR DURING AIR BENDING OF THIN SHEETS
Air bending is one of the most common methods of forming positions from sheet metal. It has found wide use due to the simplicity of the procedure and the possibility of bending any angle by controlling the movement of the upper tool (punch). With this procedure, it is possible to create very complex shapes that can have a la...

SELECTION OF THE MINIMUM RADIUS OF THE PUNCH IN THE ‘CLINCHING’ JOINING PROCESS FOR ACHIEVING MINIMUM JOINT STRENGTH FORCE
In today's market, ensuring competitiveness directly depends on changes and improvements in internal production processes. As a ‘better version’ of spot welding, the clinching process was developed. Since there is no specific translation in our terminology, the descriptive term ‘joining by pressure’ is used. This ...

APPLICATION OF THE TAGUCHI METHOD IN DETERMINING THE EFFICIENCY OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS IN RETAINING HEAT IN A THERMOS BOTTLE
Heat transfer is a key process that occurs in everyday life, whether it involves maintaining the warmth of the food, or various industrial processes. This term includes three primary mechanisms of transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. To minimize heat loss or retain coldness, different insulating materials are use...

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF STRESS STATE OF PRESSURE VESSEL
Pressure vessels that are exposed to high stresses, due to unfavorable working conditions during exploitation, must be properly designed, taking into account all calculation factors, in order to be safe during their expected lifetime. Checking the condition of the vessel, or analyzing the load of the vessel in working and test conditions, is mandat...

WELDED JOINT BEHAVIOR DURING TENSILE TESTING AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES
The mechanical properties of steel structures are largely dependent on their operating conditions, with the operating temperature being a crucial factor. Welded constructions require even more attention as the welded joint and its surrounding areas are affected by changes in material during the welding process due to heat input. A study was conduct...

DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF THE MIXER CONSTRUCTION FOR MIXING LIQUIDS INSIDE THE TANK
The aim of this paper is to perform a dynamic analysis of a large industrial mixer used for mixing liquids inside a vertical tank. The analysis is performed numerically using software tools SolidWorks and Ansys for finite element method analysis. A comparative analysis of results obtained from both software platforms is presented. Although there ar...
