Modeling of Asphalt Concrete While Using Discrete Element Method by V. V. Alekseenko, K. Yu. Vabishchevich, E. V. Verkhoturova

“…The paper considers a mathematical model which is used to study a composite material similar in structure to asphalt concrete and it takes into account presence of solid particles of different sizes and a soft and plastic binder. The twodimensional method of discrete elements has been applied to investigate destruction of asphalt-concrete samples under uniaxial compression, tension during splitting and compression by the Marshall method. …”

A novel anthropometric method to accurately evaluate tissue deformation by Chongyang Ye, Xiaolu Li, Haiyan Song, Yu Shi, Ruixin Liang, Jun Zhang, Ka Po Lee, Zhaolong Chen, Beibei Zhou, Raymond Kai-Yu Tong, Kit-Lun Yick, Sun-Pui Ng, Joanne Yip

“…The mechanical properties of five leggings samples are tested by using the Instron 4,411 and KES-FB1 systems to determine the uniaxial tension and pure shear.ResultsThe predicted results are then compared with the experimental results, which shows that they are in good agreement, with deviations within 1.15 mm for the static condition and 2.36 mm for the dynamic condition, thus validating the proposed novel method.DiscussionThis anthropometric approach is an invaluable tool for evaluating tissue deformation patterns, thus providing key insights for sportswear designers to optimize garment performance and design.…”

Efficiency Investigation of Coffee Production Waste Drying by Filtration Method by Oleksandr Ivashchuk, Volodymyr Atamanyuk, Roman Chyzhovych

“…Thus, for a similar output of about 1000 kg/h, filtration drying can reduce energy consumption by about 465 kW·h and reduce the required drying time by more than 20 times. The overall economic effect of using the filtration drying method in industry is expected to be higher, given the significant heat losses to the environment for a rotary dryer due to its large size, long drying time, design features, and the need for energy-intensive auxiliary equipment. …”
