Additive manufacturing (AM) is a layered manufacturing technique. It can produce parts/printing layer by layer. When the deposition process involves a number of process parameters such as temperature gradients, build orientation, raster width, raster angle, layer thickness, and disposition pattern, etc....

Specific sliding is an essential factor in terms of surface wear of involute gears (involute gear teeth). At the same time, their values affect the heat generation in gearing. Since the values of the specific sliding reach its maximum at the gear tips and roots, the wear of these parts is the most significant,...

This paper describes an advanced design procedure used in the design of two test devices. The paper describes the use of advanced numerical modelling methods applying FEM. Emphasis is placed on the accurate determination of the natural frequencies and the natural shapes of the test equipment frames....

The standard ISO 6336 was released in 2006 and is a key standard for gearing loading capacity calculation. The first part of this standard is a basic one for a determination of very important factors (KA, KV, KHα, KHβ, KFα, KFβ). There are some new annex. Annex C is used to analyse crowning conditions...

With the development of high-speed rail, the requirements for control the motion of rail vehicle bogies are increasing. The chassis setting is responsible for the safety and comfort of the vehicle. The main problem is the conflict of the damping requirements for different driving modes. On one hand,...

This paper focuses on solving some of the problems arising in the design process groups in the automotive industry. The geometrical specification of machine parts in the automotive industry creates a number of problems, the solutions of which is not entirely trivial and even the current standards do...

The article presents a new subject in the bachelor’s study of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at university UWB, bringing to students with basic knowledge of construction a comprehensive view of the design task. Software support is mentioned here, enabling students to more easily...

The present contribution describes 3D printing of a part and related engineering design techniques which are used for virtual prototyping. Using these advanced techniques, one can cut the consumption of material in the production of machine parts by reducing the parts’ weight while respecting the applied...

The article deals with a modern form of teaching the subjects Measurement, diagnostics and testing of machines, Alternative drives, Engineering design III, IV, Innovation of technical systems, which are taught at the Department of Design and Machine Parts at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the...

The standard ISO 6336 – Calculation of load capacity of spur and helical gears, got out in 2006. There were some amendments later, but a lot of errors and typos still remain. These can cause some misunderstandings during applications of the standard, and they are irritating for users of this standard....
