In this study, linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and fuzzy logic (FL) controller are designed for displacement control of elastic structure under seismic excitation. MATLABВ®/SIMULINK toolbox is used for the mathematical modelling of the system and controllers design. Controllers are applied to the structure, components of which are assumed that they have standard stiffness and damping coefficient, to suppress seismical vibration. A hydraulic actuator is used as the control device. Dynamic of the actuators to creat...

Recycling of metals has been becoming an attractive subject, lately due to the fact that the depleted resources, high energy consumption and harmful gases emission. Metal machining chips are recycled conventionaly which consist of melting casting. In the paper the method of direct conversion of bronze and steel chips, into finished product without melting, as an alternative way to conventional method is described. Metal chips were comminuted by mechanical milling and for the next processing the granulated chips la...
