This paper presents an overview of research performed at the AGH University of Science and Technology in the field of the electromechanical impedance method for damage detection in mechanical structures. A theoretical background on the described method is made in the first part of the paper. Next, results of numerical analyses of the electromechanical impedance for simple mechanical structures ...

kashafrud formation, siliciclastic strata, middle jurassic in age, commences with basal fluvio conglomerates. the strata are described in terms of 3 facies association (conglomerate, sandstone and mudstone), which were deposited in a fluvio-deltaic and turbities environments. the basal kashafrud strata at 2 areas (8 sections), in the eastern kopet-dagh basin, consist predominantly of boulder to...

In this article, the method of hard rock mining by undercutting or back incision using asymmetrical disk tools as an alternative to milling with use cutting was described. The results modelling penetration a single asymmetric tool edge into artificial and natural sample were presented compared empirical laboratory tests. effect stand tests for samples mounted on rotating plate presented. carrie...

We study the problem, initiated in [8], of finding randomized and quantum complexity of initial-value problems. We showed in [8] that a speed-up in both settings over the worst-case deterministic complexity is possible. In the present paper we prove, by defining new algorithms, that further improvement in upper bounds on the randomized and quantum complexity can be achieved. In the Hölder class...
