Clay/Epoxy Composites
(Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2009)Fillers are generally used to decrease the costs of a composite material but they are changing also some of composite’s properties due to their physical properties, their dimensions and their shapes. Filled polymer could ... -
Diffractometry Analysis on Non-Conventional Treated Steels after Tribological Tests
(Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2009)Two steel grades were subjected to a nitro-carburized thermo-chemical treatment after thermo-magnetic treatments. The contact was studied employing the concept of tribosystem and tribomodel. The structural aspects into ... -
Estimation of the Operability Index of a Containership Operating in the Black Sea
(Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2009)The calculation of the operability index, which represents the percentage of time during which the ship is operational, depends on the wave climate of the ocean area where the ship operates, the dynamic response of the ... -
Fabric Reinforced Filled Epoxy Composites
(Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2009)Among composites, the polymer matrix ones are the cheapest and the easiest to form but they show major disadvantages such as poor electrical and thermal conductivity, low fire resistance etc. In the case of any composite, ... -

A Fast Numerical Method to Predict Elastic Fields due to Eigenstrains in an Isotropic Half-Space Part I: Algorithm Overview
(Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2009)A fast algorithm to predict elastic fields due to arbitrarily shaped eigenstrains in an elastic, isotropic half-space is advanced in this paper. The inclusion domain is partitioned in a set of cuboids of uniform eigenstrains, ... -
Fatigue Sensitivity Analysis of a Ship Structural Detail
(Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2009)In the paper, a FEM analysis used for fatigue assessment, based on the rules, was done. The approach for fatigue assessment in the early design stage of the ship structure has been developed. To overcome the challenges due ... -
Measuring the Residual Stress of the Injection Moulded Polymeric Parts
(Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2009)The residual stresses are usually introduced during manufacturing, and are caused by processes such as molding. This paper presents how the authors determine the residual stresses for the flat plates from ABS, PP and PS ... -
Particularities of Rubber Lip Seals Used for Pneumatic Linear Drives
(Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2009)The paper presents some particular aspects of reciprocating rubber lip seals for pneumatic linear drives. This study is focused on the following tribological aspects: friction variation under linear velocity, determination ... -
Preliminary Results on the use of Palm Oil and Shea Butter in Lubrication Process in Food Industry
(Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2009)In this study, vegetal oils (palm oil and shea butter) are analyzed for their uses in lubrication of mechanical part of machines in food industry. These vegetal oils were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and transmission ... -
Rapeseed Oil Flammability on Hot Surface
(Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2009)The paper presents the tests and results upon rapeseed oil flammability on hot surface. The oil samples were obtained from a rapeseed oil after a dewaxing process. There were established temperature ranges for which the ... -
