In this article, the information value is used in numeric analysis as both a method for data approximation and a measure of data equality among a set of values. To this end, a surface segmentation, based on a study for constructing a hierarchy for vectors clustering using certain similarity criteria, is presented. The technique is based on the analysis of vectors representing regions associated with given types of critical points. An approach based on the Max Entropy in Metric Space (MEMS) is introduced in the paper, in order to extract a cluster of local features and to obtain an analysis of mechanical systems in the 2D and/or 3D spaces. The approach proposed in the paper can be effectively used in virtual prototyping and optimal designing of mechanical systems. Full article

The efficiency of cold rolling of steel strip in the main depends on the quality of technological lubricant and its cost. In this regard, it is important to develop new compositions of effective metalworking coolants that are low cost and provide maximum reduction in the friction coefficient. We developed and tested the new compositions of metalworking coolants on the basis of vegetable oil and chicken fat. The metalworking coolants were tested in Donbas State Engineering Academy (DSEA) on a laboratory rolling mill, 100 × 100, in cold rolling of 08Kp steel. The efficiency of the coolants was determined by the stretch ratio λ and the friction coefficient μ in the deformation zone, which was found by the forward slip method. We found the metalworking coolant with 100% concentration of boric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides is the most effective in the rolling of thin steel strips. Thus, the new metalworking coolants (MWC) on the basis of boric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides, synthesized on the basis of sunflower oil, can be recommended for use in the rolling of structural steels on account of its availability, high efficiency and low cost.

In this investigation, different computational methods for the analytical development and the computer implementation of the differential-algebraic dynamic equations of rigid multibody systems are examined. The analytical formulations considered in this paper are the Reference Point Coordinate Formulation based on Euler Parameters (RPCF-EP) and the Natural Absolute Coordinate Formulation (NACF). Moreover, the solution approaches of interest for this study are the Augmented Formulation (AF) and the Udwadia–Kalaba Equations (UKE). As shown in this paper, the combination of all the methodologies analyzed in this work leads to general, effective, and efficient multibody algorithms that can be readily implemented in a general-purpose computer code for analyzing the time evolution of mechanical systems constrained by kinematic joints. This study demonstrates that multibody algorithm based on the combination of the NACF with the UKE turned out to be the most effective and efficient computational method. The conclusions drawn in this paper are based on the numerical results obtained for a benchmark multibody system analyzed by means of dynamical simulations. Full article

Artificial intelligence is the ability of a computer to perform the functions and reasoning typical of the human mind. In its purely informatic aspect, it includes the theory and techniques for the development of algorithms that allow machines to show an intelligent ability and/or perform an intelligent activity, at least in specific areas. In particular, there are automatic learning algorithms based on the same mechanisms that are thought to be the basis of all the cognitive processes developed by the human brain. Such a powerful tool has already started to produce a new class of self-driving vehicles. With the projections of population growth that will increase until the year 2100 up to 11.2 billion, research on innovating agricultural techniques must be continued. In order to improve the efficiency regarding precision agriculture, the use of autonomous agricultural machines must become an important issue. For this reason, it was decided to test the use of the “Neural Network Toolbox” tool already present in MATLAB to design an artificial neural network with supervised learning suitable for classification and pattern recognition by using data collected by an ultrasonic sensor. The idea is to use such a protocol to retrofit kits for agricultural machines already present on the market. Full article
