ANALYSIS OF DISC BRAKE FRACTURE USING COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINE AND 3D CAD MODELING
A brake disc is exposed to various loads during its operational life, which cause braking surface wearing, disc deformation, structural changes, residual stresses etc. The goal of this paper is to find out the main cause of fractures on braking surface, by measuring flatness and wear of braking surface, and to give main guidelines to prolong the op...

FRACTURE MODE-MIXITY IN SYMETRICAL BEAM SPECIMENS: FPZ LENGTH INFLUENCE
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...

DIAGNOSTIC OF WIND POWERS
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...
