As conveyor belts are the key element of conveyors, it is very important that they are manufactured in accordance with applicable standards and later tested in order to confirm nominal parameters. In this paper, four types of axial testing of conveyor belt samples are presented. The required ambient test conditions and the required test device are ...

The aim of this paper is to present a sufficiently adequate and accurate mathematical model of the breaking force of a solid wood panel. For that purpose, an experiment with thirteen repetitions was designed and done. The input sizes that varied on three levels are the density of the wood and the thickness of the solid wood panel. Since the central...

Nowadays, every new product is tempted, we can freely say it is on the edge of the downfall, and it is very important to reduce its production costs. We can simply reduce costs by degrading product quality. However, if we do not want it, it is possible to turn to the application of new knowledge and knowledge that will enable better resource utiliz...

Bearing in mind that the wheel sleeves of motor vehicles are exposed to strong dynamic loads, and knowing that these are very responsible parts of the constructions, the need for permanent researches of the influence of certain variables on the process of production of them is imposed. The prepared part which, in this case, is obtained by forging f...

The fracture of a part or element of a construction can also be defined as a macroscopic separation of the material that leads to the loss of a solid body load. The fracture is the end result of plastic deformation and occurs when all the potential of the material in terms of elastic and plastic deformation is exhausted. This is the worst case of e...

Injury at work is an unwanted event that occurs on almost every type of job. Especially in heavy workplaces such as mines, especially underground exploitation, ironworks with workplaces where temperatures are high, chemical industry and the like. A part of these injuries will deprive the worker of further activities at the workplace and lose workin...

The main focus of this paper is to present the TQM practices of 593 companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition, our results confirm that there are statistically significant differences in TQM practices between firms in a highly competitive and less competitive environment, as well as between firms with and without ISO certificates. TQM practi...

In this paper the influence of different machining parameters on the surface roughness, cutting force and material removal rate during turning process using MQLC (minimum quantity lubrication and cooling) system was investigated. The experimental plan was defined using Taguchi’s method. Orthogonal array L9 (34) was selected for four input par...
