On the basis of data from the period 1971–2007, and by applying trend analysis, a study on formation, disappearance and duration of lake ice cover on the Morskie Oko Lake in the Tatra Mountains in southern Poland was carried out. The results show decreasing trends in the maximum [...]

Abstract

An important concern in sheet stamping is the risk of obtaining brittle final products that can be affected by fracture. Monte Carlo simulations presented herein show that this is governed [...]

Abstract

Sandwich structures made of composite materials, namely glass fibre/polyester, are widely used in  the naval, ground transportation, aerospace and telecommunication industries. Due to the combination of key factors: the good mechanical properties of this kind of materials [...]

Abstract

In this study, we proposed a simulation method for film transverse stretching based on the finite element method using the orthogonal anisotropy plastic model. The simulation method can analyse the large deformation [...]
