Abstract: Many good reasons to use aluminium sheets in car body construction. First among them is weight reduction – up to 50 percent compared with steel. Next comes aluminium’s high corrosion – resistance, even in exposed or inaccessible spots. Aluminium also displays excellent resistance to buckling and outstanding recyclability. Despite these advantages, however, it was not until the late 1980’s that aluminium was successfully introduced in large – scale car body production. There are various reasons for it.       

Keywords: aluminium sheets, car body, corrosion-resistance

Abstract. Metallic materials ductile fracture is a complex process which suppose the evolution description of cavities formed in different phases of fracture process, as well the elastic stresses contribution for the brittle fracture of the same material, but for different stressing conditions. For description of these phenomena has been proposed a micro-mechanical model for ductile fracture at which has been added a hypo-elastic constitutive equation. Has been used an eulerian approach and macroscopic fields which intervene in the fracture process being obtained by applying the homogenization method.

Abstract:It has become quite apparent in the recent years that natural sciences such as chemistry, physics, earth sciences, biology and their associated technologies increased their role for the study and preservation of our historical patrimony. This is even perceived by the general public, during some important art exhibitions where one  section is devoted to the scientific examinations of the works, or to a report of their restorations, is offered to the public’s attention. Archaeometallurgy is the study of metalworking structures, tools, waste products and finished metal artefacts, from the Bronze Age to the recent past. It can be used to identify and interpret metal working structures in the field and, during the post-excavation phases of a project, metal working waste products, such as slags, crucibles and moulds.The technologies used in the past can be reconstructed from the information obtained. Scientific techniques are often used by archaeometallurgists, as they can provide additional information.

Abstract. Because the polymeric materials have a wide applicability in biomaterials we propose in this paper to improve their properties, especially to obtain a better biocompatibility of them. For that reason we tested the three types of polymer blends using following methods of physical-mechanical analysis: Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) investigations, Thermo Mechanical Analysis in static (TMA) and dynamic conditions (DTMA), Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA ) and Fourier Transform InfraRed Spectrometry (FTIR). The three types of polymers was 1st) PU2000/PC,  2nd) PU / CPL and the 3rd) PUF / CPL,  where PU2000 is abbreviations of Polyurethane with 2000 molecular weight,  PU is abbreviation of PolyUrethane,  PC is PolyCyanurate of Bisphenol and respectively  PUF  become from PolyUrethane with Fluorine atoms.  Polymer blends have been obtained in different chemicals compositions , in percent,  to determine which is  the optimal composition from the behavior point of view . After analysis we observed that the best behavior presented a first series PU2000/PC (with compositions 50/50,15/85, 5/ 95).

Abstract. After 1950, plastic materials have become much interest in less than ten years, the production of plastics increasingly sharply. The annual consumption can now be comparable to that of non-ferrous metals. Currently there are about 40 types of plastics, each with a chemical composition and other properties that make them suitable for a particular purpose. The plastic is made from oil, gasoline and coal. Most of the materials used to manufacture plastic residue oil refinery, which would otherwise be wasted or burned. Many waste is recyclable waste. As a result we propose to manufacture plastic materials from recyclable waste. The recycling of plastics has grown steadily, a wide range of them being produced in many countries. Instead of polluting water in rivers or large areas of soil accumulation, PET can be easily collected and recycled, what can be done easily with the help of special containers in many areas of the city. This work presents the degradation of these plastics, waste treatment, the garbage and other products used or unused, and transform them into material that can be biodegradable. It also presented an economic analysis of waste plastics produced from the area Muntenia, (in Romania) and finally, a European approach.

Abstract: Metal analyses of iron ores from Covasna archaeological site were performed by inductively-coupled-plasma atomic-emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), coupled with energy dispersion X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Infrared spectroscopy with Fourier Transform (FTIR). It can be demonstrated that for iron ore processed in early Roman times, Sr are much less ambiguous than Pb in providing clearly coherent signatures for ore and related iron objects. Late Roman iron objects were produced from iron ores that as yet remain unidentified. Our study demonstrates that iron objects can be precisely analyzed for their composition, which appears to be a much more powerful tool for distinguishing between chronological groups and determining the provenance of raw materials. It is mineralogically dominated by hematite. The metallurgical waste shows an exceptional chemical composition, with remarkably elevated TiO2, V2O5, CaO, MgO, Al2O3, SiO2, MnO, Fe2O3, ZnO, K2O, PbO, Sr, Zr contents.

Abstract. Antique glasses can be generally found as one of the architectural components in several heritage places from Europe and not only. Glassmaking has been as industrial activity for more than four thousand years. The medieval stained glass constitute a part of our cultural heritage that has been exposed to environmental damage over centuries. The main purpose of this paper is to provide new insights into the composition and deterioration sources of stained glass. To analyse the ancient glass, have been used small pieces of broken glass without any possibility to be included in other pieces. Different coloured glass (brown, green, uncoloured) were quantitatively analysed by EDXRF. Assuming that each kind of glass can be characterized by a specific composition of major, minor and trace elements, the selection of appropriate analytical methods is essential. In this work, ICP-AES was used complementary to EDXRF which gives an overall view of the samples’ composition. By applying ICP-AES, it was possible to determine a number of elements which are present bellow the detection limit of EDXRF and to evaluate the homogeneity of investigated material. It was possible to determine me new elements which could not be determined by others techniques.
Keywords: ancient glass, EDXRF, ICP-AES

Abstract. Chitosan is a unique polysaccharide derived from chitin and is present in the hard exoskeletons of shellfish like shrimp and crab. In solution and gel, it can be used as carriers for slow release or controlled action of drugs (such as TSPP). Interaction of TSPP with chitosan is studied in aqueous solution. The effect of pH TSPP is discussed evaluating the association with chitosan: stacking (H-type) aggregates predominates at weak acid concentrations (pH 4.8-6.8) and tilted (J-type) aggregates at pH 2.5. At the intermediate pH value (3.6) both types of TSPP aggregates were detected. High amount of chitosan disrupts H-aggregates forming monomeric porphyrinc porphyrin-chitosan complexe. J-aggregates are stable even at very high chitosan concentrations.
Keywords:chitosan, medicine, nanoparticles, drug-carriers, TSPP, J-aggregate, H-aggregate.

Abstract. The paper analyses an horizontal tank, used for storing the condense obtained from the pyrolise installation and for separation of the water drops from the generated steam. The respective equipment started its functioning period 35 years ago, being effectively running the early 18 years period and being conserved during the last 17 years. The analyze viewed by present work follows the technical initial and present status of the efforts in different components of the tank, due to calculus and hydraulic experimental testing pressure. In the present study, taking into account the values for the stresses inside the components of the equipment [1], we adopted a way for evaluation the residual life time.

Abstract. The current kinetotherapy methods applied from the first week of life, give the impression of an apparent recuperative effect, but during the child’s growth, the vicious positions become more evident, until joint immobility is installed, the joint position becomes fix, and the limb cannot be moved to the normal position. The major cause of arthrogriposis multiplex congenita is represented by the foetal akinezy, which is due to foetal abnormalities (neurological, muscular, or conjunctive tissue abnormalities, or foetus movements mechanical limitations), and also by maternal affections (infections, trauma, drug abuse, etc.).

Abstract. The continuous beams placed on N elastic supports subjected to the action of a loads convoy can be solved using the method of the step function from MATHCAD, expressing the bending moments as a function of the exterior loads and the support forces. This function facilitates the analytical expression of the bending moments as a function of the applied exterior loads (loads convoy). In the same time it is facilitated the writing of deformations conditions, the expression of support displacements as a function of the unknown reactions and the solving of the equations system for different loading cases.
Keywors: loads convoy, elastic proportional supports

Abstract. Regarding the “Cutting workability Process” concept, in the present, does not exist a complete and tolerable definition, most of the authors giving their own points of view. They have, still, a few ideas in common concerning machining (turning, or processing) definition. In general, the study of processing, includes some problems regarding the cut’s wear, the splintering forces, the ruggedness of the processing surfaces, the power wasted during the processing operations, the aspect and the size of the splinters and the dynamical stability, resulting that the processing concept depending by the material characteristics and by the parameters of the processing operation.

Abstract. Working fluid  attributes in the petrol and connected industries, determines a high fire and/or explosion risk. Fire safe valves can reduce losses in case of accidental fires, isolating the defective portions of the equipment from the rest of the installation so that other fluids don’t feed the fire. The ball valves come with metal/non-metal seal to ensure flawless closure at low pressure and normal temperature conditions and an additional metal/metal seal for high temperature sealing in case the primary one deteriorates. The fire safe characteristic is certified by testing the valves in accordance with one of the API 6FA, API 6FC, API 607 or STAS 10497:1997 standards. An evaluation of the body behavior and in particular the metallic ring area can be made using the finite element method. The study was made on the primary body of the 4 in cls 300 float ball, taking into account that the sealing is made on the downstream ring (by pressing the ball on the sealing downstream ring, due to fluid pressure). The first part of the study was made without taking into account the temperature applied on the surface of the guide mark, temperature resulting from the fire test. To evaluate static nodal stress, displacement and static strain in the presence of mechanic pressure and temperature 2 other studies  we’re performed: the 2nd study using the temperatures measured on the surface of the body right after putting out the fire and the 3rd study using the minimum temperatures required for the calorimetric cubes after 15 minutes from starting the fire (565 oC), assuming that these calorimetric cubes represent the body wall and it’s temperature. The conclusions of the study confirm the experimental results and allow improvement of the design project of these valves trough the possibility of correct choice of materials and verification of proposed technical solutions.
