  • ABSTRACT: The article describes the intelligent transport systems trends and identifies their perspective directions. Special attention is paid to the function principle of the intelligent traffic density estimation and vehicle classification subsystem. A new approach for improving the speed of this subsystem by the instrumentality of the GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) and parallel computing is suggested. Different transport detectors were analyzed to select the most useful one for further use in the subsystem. The intelligent subsystem has been developed to estimate the traffic density and its composition in order to integrate it with conventional video surveillance systems used for violations video recording.

  • AUTHOR(S): I. Nochnichenko, O. Jakhno
  • ABSTRACT: The article discusses the technological process of electrolysis from the point of view of the transfer phenomenon and the position of physical chemistry. It is shown that taking into account the transport phenomena and associated processes depends on the state of the medium and is determined by the functions of the transport coefficients: (momentum, mass, heat). Physicochemical processes in a mechatronic electrolyze have been experimentally investigated, mechanisms of intensification have been proposed, and the regularities of transfer processes have been studied. The influence of ultrasonic cavitation, vibration on the electrolysis process, the was investigated, and the dependences of the potential of the electrolyzer required for the splitting of water on the temperature with intensification modules were obtained.

EFFECT OF HEAT-TREATMENT TEMPERATURE ON THE MECHANICAL AND MICROSTRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF AISI 4140 STEEL

  • TITLE: EFFECT OF HEAT-TREATMENT TEMPERATURE ON THE MECHANICAL AND MICROSTRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF AISI 4140 STEEL
  • AUTHOR(S): G. İrsel, B. Nur Guzey, B. Kara
  • ABSTRACT: Heat treatment is a metallurgical process for removing residual stresses in metals, improving their mechanical properties, reducing surface hardness, and preventing the formation of brittle fractures or cracks. The tempering (age hardening) process, which is a type of heat treatment in tempered steels, affects the mechanical and microstructural properties of the steel more than the other steel types. In this study, the base material test specimens with 13 HRC hardness and 12.5 mm diameter were heat-treated and tempered, and the effect of the heat treatment process on the mechanical and microstructural properties was investigated. AISI 4140 tempered steel was tempered at 600°C for 3 hours after 3 hours of heat treatment at 880°C, 850°C and 820°C and cooled in oil. While the base material has a tensile strength of 654.16 ± 12 MPa, the maximum tensile strengths were determined as 1022.44 ± 10 MPa, 1006.24 ± 9 MPa and 987.454 ± 11 MPa, respectively, after heat treatment at 880°C, 850°C and 820°C. The strength of the material increased by 56.29% by applying heat treatment at 880°C temperature. This increase in strength is associated with the transformation of the existing microstructure from ferritic to martensitic structure. The needle-like structure in the martensitic structure increased and lath martensite structure was formed with the combination of grain boundaries with increasing heat treatment temperature. Strength and hardness increased while the heat treatment temperature is increasing. It was observed that ductility decreased. Hereby, the temperature parameter in the heat treatment process is effective on the strength and the heat treatment has high advantages in terms of material saving in machine designs.

APPLICATION OF FRACTIONAL FACTORIAL DESIGN FOR ANALYSIS OF CUTTING ENERGY IN TURNING

  • TITLE: APPLICATION OF FRACTIONAL FACTORIAL DESIGN FOR ANALYSIS OF CUTTING ENERGY IN TURNING
  • AUTHOR(S): M. Trifunović, M. Madić
  • ABSTRACT: Energy consumption in machining processes is a very important aspect that has been given increased importance in recent times. This article, therefore, proposes an approach for identification of the most important main and interaction effects of turning parameters regarding the cutting energy in dry longitudinal single-pass turning of low-alloyed and high-alloyed steels. Fractional factorial design was applied to arrange five parameters, namely, depth of cut, feed rate, cutting speed, rake angle and cutting edge angle at two levels. Based on the cutting tool manufacturer�s machining calculator and well-known analytical relationships, cutting energy was estimated for sixteen cutting regimes for both workpiece material groups. The analysis of obtained results involved the analysis of main and interaction effects, determination of statistically significant effects and development of cutting energy prediction models.
