In the case of process of mining of mineral resources as disintegration of variety of materials is always crucial to choose optimal technology to prevent wastes in energy, human resources and also financial resources. It is also essential to avoid negative impacts on the nature and prevent serious damages in environment in general. This article is focusing mainly on the various ways of mechanical disintegration of materials without usage of blasting in the mining condition (surface mines, coal mines, tunnel boring...

This article deals with the forming of sheet metal on a bending machine. The bending of sheet metal cut shapes or clippings is a very common operation in many companies. Oftentimes, many of these companies deal with the issue of how to bend the sheet metal to the required precision, especially while complying with the required bending angle. The sheet metal is bent correctly while it is in between the tools of the machine. However, stress develops in the material during bending and this stress remains in the mater...

In this article, I will focus on the possibilities of recycling aluminium chips and chips from aluminium alloys. Recycling can be divided into conventional recycling, by remelting the material, or the unconventional method of recycling it in its solid state, in which the chips can be transformed directly into dense bulk materials. The advantages of this method lie in lower energy consumption, reduced metal losses, almost no emissions of harmful gases and minimum waste. In the introduction I will introduce the meth...

In the design of new cars, great demands are placed on the passive safety of a vehicle. This is especially true for the front part of a car. Each item for this part of a car must absorb a part of energy which arises when a pedestrian is hit. The headlights also belong among the core elements here. The size of the energy that a headlight is capable of absorbing is first calculated by the finite element method using specialized software. It is necessary that these theoretical values are validated in practice, using ...
