This work presents the combined method for determination of mechanical characteristics of elastic balls filled with fluid by using compression test and appropriate analytical-numerical method. Ordinary playing balls, being modelled with the Mooney-Rivlinmaterial model, are used in the study. Results obtained by this combined numerical-experimental ...

Hydraulic cylinder malfunctions are very common causes for the failure of the operation of the hydraulic system. Most common causes are in cylinder’s seal failure, whereby the error by replacing the seals can be relatively quickly eliminated. In the case of frequent occurrence of the same failure, the problem should be more carefully addresse...

The basic objective of machine structure testing is to reduce the number of structures without satisfactory quality, which are either discarded as scrap or sent for additional machining. The non-destructive testing can detect surface and internal errors in structures, depending on the applied testing method, which enables total quality of the produ...

The paper presents the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method for interface capturing in free surface flows in OpenFOAM® software. The VOF-model utilises an algebraic compressive scheme to effectively shrink the transitional region between the liquid and the gaseous phase. The capabilities of the model are demonstrated by simulating two-dimensionalaxisym...

Academic staff evaluation poses a unique challenge in higher education system in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The established practice of selfrepresenting the absolute authority in public higher education institutions attenuated by the emergence of private higher education institutions where the employers sought for the results, expressed their own, as ...

The paper explained meaning and importance of the impact of construction machinery due to the specifics of their use. Describes how organization of maintenance activities of machines on construction sites and points to the impact this has on their performance. Accent was placed on possibilities of improving existing practice of building contractors...

In the paper stress analysis of rotary kiln support rollers is conducted. Stress state in the support rollers is caused by temperature gradient, shrinkfit connection between shaft and roller and by the contact with kiln ring. The stress analysis is done analytically and numerically, and the results obtained are compared....
