The performance of continuous conveyor systems based on belt conveyors depends on their
reliable and trouble-free operation. The most common failures encountered during their …

In recent years, a current trend of mechanical engineers is to design such mechanical drives
which will have a guaranteed life time. In this guaranteed operating life it is many times …

The industries of shipping, shipbuilding and port operations are among those in which
mechanical drives with piston machines are widely used. The wide use of piston machines …

In the past period occurred information about a fact that in some of the motorcars was
installed a software, which enabled to hide the over-limit values of the nitrogen oxides …

The phenomenon of torsional vibrations which arise in mechanical systems has become an
important issue in mechanical design. Flexible couplings are widely used to tune dynamic …

The stage of construction and operation of the machines requires monitoring of the steps
causing negative effects on humans and environment in the form of noise during their use …

This paper presents a method to reduce lateral vibration amplitudes in large rotating
machines. The method is based on avoiding resonances by altering the natural frequencies …

Currently, great emphasis on reducing energy consumption and harmful emissions of
internal combustion engines is placed. Current control technology allows us to customize …

Marine engines are key components in most ships. Nowadays, diesel engines power most
of the ships in the world. These engines are efficient in comparison with other thermal …

To model the nonlinear behaviour of vibrating systems, Taylor expansion with integer
powers is often used. Some systems, however, are inherently nonlinear. In the case of a non …
