Optimal Design Fundamentals of Fatigue Loaded Machine Springs

The aim of this paper is to present results of using fundamental machine element design principles into re-designing optimally heavy duty springs used in terrain machinery and in industry. Use of standard procedures often results in recurring fatigue fracture failures. This reveals need for correcting also the present standards. Analytical calculations reveal as main causes of failures the loca...

Fundamentals of Fermenter Design

The influences of environmental (macro) conditions and those on the cell level are treated from the point of view of heatand mass-transfer in microbial systems. The effects considered are (i) consumption of substrates, (ii) output of products, (iii) production of heat and (iv) aggregation, as far as concerns direct influence on the microenvironment. The other properties which may have indirect ...

Fundamentals of Progressive Lens Design

A progressive addition lens (or “PAL”) is a type of multifocal lens that employs a surface with a continuously smooth increase in addition (Plus) power. The curvature of the surface increases from its minimum value in the distance zone to its maximum value in the near zone (Figure 1). The total increase in surface power between these two zones is equal to the specified Add power of the lens. Th...

Fundamentals of Digital Circuit Design

The course is targeted at all computer science, electrical, electronics, telecommunications and mechanical engineers who require the understanding of the functioning and the design of logic circuits at different levels of their complexity. The motif for this lecture is to show what are the major components and how to design digital logic for real time systems (e.g. mechatronics, robotics, compu...
