The thesis deals with the production concept of the bracket for fixing the drying frame. The component is made of 11 343 steel. The semi-finished product is galvanized sheet with 2 mm thickness. With regard to the required quality of the component and the yearly production quantity (40,000 pieces), a new production technology was chosen based on a literary study by means of conventional shearing in a tool, followed by bending on a press brake. For the selected technologies, technological calculations and a cutting tool were designed, which are dealt with in the drawing documentation. The work also includes technical-economic evalua-tion of the proposed production method.

The present thesis deals with the determination of procedural parameters of given bending profile including the calculation of spring-back, especially the bending force. It compares the differences and the benefits of two different technologies of producing a blank, the simple bending and the technology of rolling. The technological process suggested involves technical-economical evaluation, supplemented with the drawing documentation.

The master´s thesis deals with drawing compound tool for production of stirrup. Stirrup is made from steel 17 240 and his thickness is 1,5 mm. The number of production is 400 000 pieces. After completion of constructional calculations was determined eccentric press LEN 40 C and was designed tool. The work is completed by drawing documentation of the compound tool. In the work is performed economic evaluation too. Present technology (blanking, bending) is compare here with new technology- compound tool. Compound tool is profitable, because time and money are saving.

The thesis solves the efficient production of the sheetmetal cover. The new technological procedure will save two manufacturing operations deep drawing. The deep drawing of the cylindrical vessel with a flange and its following calibration in accordance with the design documentation was choosed. The last stage of the deep drawing is the construcion of the circular cut-out and its bending. By doing so the final shape of the cover will be reached.

In this paper, we study the nonlocal linear bending behavior of functionally graded beams subjected to distributed loads. A finite element formulation for an improved first-order shear deformation theory for beams with five independent variables is proposed. The formulation takes into consideration 3D constitutive equations. Eringen's nonlocal differential model is used to rewrite the nonlocal stress resultants in terms of displacements. The finite element formulation is derived by means of the principle of virtual work. High-order nodal-spectral interpolation functions were utilized to approximate the field variables, which minimizes the locking problem. Numerical results and comparisons of the present formulation with those found in the literature for typical benchmark problems involving nonlocal beams are found to be satisfactory and show the validity of the developed finite element model.

Cells are dynamic systems that generate and respond to forces through the complex interplay between biochemical and mechanical regulations. Since cellular processes often happen at the molecular level and are challenging to be observed under in vivo conditions due to limitations in optical microscopy, multiple analysis tools have been developed to gain insight into those processes. One of the ways to characterize these mechanical properties is by measuring their persistence length, the average length over which filaments stay straight. There are several approaches in the literature for measuring the persistence length of the filaments, including Fourier analysis of images obtained using fluorescence microscopy. Here, we show how curvature can be used to quantify local deformations of cell shape and cellular components. We develop a novel technique, called curvature analysis, to measure the stiffness of bio-filaments from fluorescent images. We test our predictions with Monte-Carlo generated filaments. We also apply our approach to microtubules and actin filaments obtained from in vitro gliding assay experiments with high densities of non-functional motors. The presented curvature analysis is significantly more accurate compared to existing approaches for small data sets. To study the effect of motors on filament deformations and velocities observed in gliding assays with functional and non-functional motors, we developed Langevin dynamics simulations of on glass and lipid surfaces. We found that generally the gliding velocity increases with an increase in motor density and a decrease in diffusion coefficient, and that motor density and diffusion coefficient have no clear effect on filament curvatures, except at a very low diffusion coefficients. Finally, we provide an ImageJ plugin to make curvature and persistence length measurements more accessible to everyone.

Post-tensioned segmental concrete box girders have been in use in the United States since the early 1970s. This unique bridge system uses post-tensioning to connect many smaller concrete bridge segments into very efficient long span bridges. However, because of the slender components, localized transverse bending becomes more critical when compared to more conventional bridge types. Bridge owners are finding that ratings for standard loads and permit trucks are often controlled by the transverse behavior of the girders near concentrated wheel loads. The popular analysis methods used today range from two dimensional frame models to three dimensional finite element models of the entire bridge. Currently, engineers must make sound engineering judgments on limited available information, while balancing safety and economy. To quantify and understand longitudinal and transverse behavior, the results from three live load tests of single cell segmental concrete box girder bridges are presented. Each bridge was instrumented with longitudinal and transverse strain sensors on at least two cross sections as well as rotation and deflection sensors, when possible. Two dimensional transverse frame models and three dimensional shell models were compared to the test results for each subject bridge. The two dimensional frame analyses using the common bottom web pin and roller boundary conditions provide mean absolute percent error in excess of 250%. Conversely, the newly introduced boundary conditions using pin supports at the top and bottom of each web was shown to reduce mean absolute percent error to 82%, which is on the same order of magnitude as longitudinal beamline analysis. The three dimensional shell models were insensitive to several changes including mesh fineness, number of spans modeled, and support conditions. Using uniform surface loading, the transverse modeling procedure was shown to provide significantly more accurate results than the common two dimensional frame models. A faster and more convenient analysis method using a program generated, structure specific, influence surface was also outlined. This method produced similar results when compared to the uniform surface loading method, while allowing additional automation for easier load application. / Ph. D.
