The choice of a combination of case-based, model-based, and rule-based reasoning methods is substantiated. A diagnostic problem solving strategy is suggested and realized as a prototype for diagnosing brake and fuel systems. The main features and advantages of the prototype are described in the paper.

FATIGUE STRENGTH CALCULATION OF NON-LINEAR AND CRACKED MATERIALS

JINESCU VALERIU

A general expression is established for the overall participation to the damage in case of a non-linear material with cracks, fatigue loaded; it allows fatigue strength calculation, with respect to the critical state (fatigue breaking) or to the allowable state. Through particularisation there were obtained the well-known relations for fatigue strength of linear-elastic materials (Gough and Pollard, Buzdugan, Soderberg, Goodman, Gerber, Cioclov. Crawford and Benham), Miner's cumulative damage rule. Morozov's relation for a cracked material loaded in tension. Generally speaking, the theoretical results may be used for a better evaluation of the experimental results, as well as for a better understanding of the superposition problems with application in the field of fatigue.

IORDACHE GHEORGHE, ŞTEFANESCU MARIANA FLORENTINA

A calculation relation is suggested for the calculation of the deposit pressure on the head (cover) of the centrifuge drum, which takes into account the fraction of gaps among the deposit particles and the coefficient for the transmission of the pressure on a perpendicular direction, depending of the main direction of its action.

THE POSSIBILITY TO RECONDITION THE SILVER ELECTROPLATED COPPER OF LIVE PARTS OF SWITCH EQUIPMENTS BY VIBRATING ELECTRODE METHOD

CIUCESCU DORU, PUIU-BERIZINŢIU MIHAI, GHEORGHIU IOAN

Materials used for electrical contacts in switches and relays must have a good combination of electrical conductivity and wear resistance. Electrical contacts are widely made by particulate composites like tungsten reinforced silver, because the silver efficiently conducts current while the hard tungsten provides wear resistance. Even such contacts erode in time causing poor contact and arcing. Another material used for electrical contacts is silver electroplated copper. To recondition these contacts is widely used silver electroplating, which is very expensive. In tlus paper arc done the experimental data of searching to recondition electrical contacts made from silver electroplated copper by vibrating electrode method.

CHEMICAL TREATMENT OF COOLING WATER: A WAY TO REDUCE WATER CONSUMPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

GAVRILĂ LUCIAN*, GAVRILĂ DANIELA**

In an open recirculating cooling system, the cooling water is permanently exposed to the atmosphere, saturating with oxygen and absorbing gaseous contaminants (sulfur compounds, nitrogen oxides, ammonia) that exist in the atmosphere of the process plants. The absorbed contaminants, together with the dissolved solids from the make-up water increase the aggressive character of the cooling water. The corrosion, scaling and fouling are emphasized and fastened, finally leading to the worsening of the heat transfer rate and to a premature failure of heat exchangers and pipes network. A proper chemical treatment of the cooling water leads to corrosion mitigation, descaling of pipes and equipment, prevents fouling, subsequently leading to an improved heat transfer and reduced fresh water consumption. The paper presents the advantages of chemical water treatment in industrial cooling circuits.

The accuracy of the mathematical model of the carbon dioxide absorption into potassium carbonate aqueous solution has been evaluated by comparison of the measured and computed values of CO2 molar fraction in the treated gas. Mathematical model used for simulation was a system of six equations, which described variation of composition for liquid and gas phases. The deviations were not greater than 0.76% for H2 O and 4.0% for CO2 molar fraction in the purified gas. The model experimentally tested has been applied for the simulation of the column equipped with the Pall metallic rings packing. The results show superior performances in the same operating conditions.

INVESTIGATIONS IN THE SYNTHESIS OF ORGANIC EXTRACTING AGENTS FROM CELLULOSE PROCESSING WASTES - II. REVERSE OSMOSIS TECHNOLOGY FOR WASTEWATER REUSE

NISTOR DENISA, CIOBANU DOMNICA, ISTRATI LĂCRĂMIOARA, URSU ALINA

The performance of reverse osmosis membranes depends on operating conditions and water quality parameters. Permeate productivity and contaminant removals increase with applied hydraulic pressure.Water quality parameters such as concentration, composition and pH also affect contaminant removal efficiencies. For example, the treatment of a simulated wastewater containing 10 mg/L of nitrate with a commercial polyamide-type reverse osmosis membrane resulted in membrane permeates containing approximately 0.05 mg/L of nitrate (or 99.5 percent removal) when sodium chloride was the major dissolved solid present in the feed water, and 1 mg/L (or 90 percent removal) when sodium sulfate was the predominant component. The removals of weak electrolyte contaminants are affected by feed water pH. For example, the removals of boron by a cellulose acetate-type membrane was reported to be greater than 99 percent at a pH of approximately 11, and less than 30 percent at a pH of 7. The practice of pre-treatment processes such as microfiltration and chemical conditioning can minimize performance deterioration resulting from membrane fouling by inorganic precipitates, organic macromolecules and microorganisms (biofouling).

THEORETICAL RESEARCH CONCERNING ON WHIRL DYNAMICS OF A ROTOR PARTIALLY FILLED WITH LIQUID

BIBIRE LUMINIŢA

A spinning rotor, mounted on a elastic shaft and containing a symmetrically located cylindrical chamber partially filled with liquid is assumed to undergo a small whirling motion. In the analysis, rotor unbalance, gravity and gyroscopic terms are considered negligible and the liquid motion is taken as being axially uniform. The added liquid produces a lowering of the usual synchronous critical speed. In addition, waves in the liquid layer couple with rotor whirl motion to produce a range of self-excited asynchronous whirl speeds above the critical, similar to those observed for nonsymmetrical solid rotors.

DESIGNING VIBRATING BEAMS AND ROTATING SHAFTS FOR MAXIMUM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADJACENT NATURAL FREQUENCES

BIBIRE LUMINIŢA

The beams have geometrically similar cross- sections while the shafts are restricted to be circular, and a minimum constraint is prescribed for the cross-sectional area. The volume, length and boundary conditions are assumed to be given, and the beams or shafts may be equipped with given, non-structural masses or disks.

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH CONCERNING OF A WHIRL DYNAMICS OF A ROTOR PARTIALLY FILLED WITH LIQUID

BIBIRE LUMINIŢA

Within present work, the whirl dynamics are reconsidered by allowing for the possibility of asynchronous whirl frequencies. The system is an asymmetric cylindrical of symmetry which is fixed in space. The equilibrium motion liquid may be superimposed on this equilibrium motion. Due to the Coriolis force, there are two frequencies for each nodal pattern. For our system, the angular speed vector of the container traces a circular path in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Thus our interest is in force rather than free vibrations of the liquid. Within present work the liquid is taken as being inviscid, and no assumptions arc made a priori about the nature of the radial and tangential velocities in the body of the liquid. Experiments completely corroborate the analytical results.

UNGUREANU VIOREL

A numerical model is developed to estimate the variation of thickness, stress and strain distribution in the flange of partially drawn cylindrical parts taking into the consideration both nonlinear strain-hardening and frictional force between blank and tooling surfaces. The stress and strain distribution simulation allows the proper choice of working parameters such as retaining pressure and friction coefficient. The reduction of friction coefficient reduces the stretching effect and thinning of the wall of the cup. conversely a high value of the friction coefficient and high strain-hardening enhances the stretching effect and thickness reduction.

UNGUREANU VIOREL, PANOSCHI CRISTIAN

This paper deals with the experimental determinated forming limit diagrams at the necking of thin aluminum sheets obtained by the application of a new method of necking detection and strain measurement based on digital image analysis. The two analyzed images usually correspond to the initial, unstressed specimen and the image just before the necking. The forming limit diagrams were obtained using direct strain path and complex strain paths. The result obtained indicates that the forming limit diagram strongly depends from strain path and state of stress applied
