48-52Megtekintések száma:201The defining scientific developments of our time would not have been possible without the use of simulations. The aim of the research is to create a simulation of a BLDC motor. When creating a simulation, great emphasis must be placed on defining the purpose of the simulation. This basically determines the structure and complexity of the model. The model discussed here was created so that an optimization task could be defined more precisely by inserting it as a sub-model into a vehicle dynamics model. Scalability was another aspect, that is, to be able to increase the accuracy of the model with measured data in the future, as well as to be able to validate it. During the research, a BLDC motor efficiency map generation program was created, as well as an environment for testing the generated data. The created system gives researchers the opportunity to use a shape-correct efficiency model when simulating a BLDC motor even without measured data. This makes it possible to discover real relationships between model parameters when performing optimization.

Introduction to Design and Analysis of Torsional Vibration Dampers in Vehicle Industry
310-324Megtekintések száma:318The crankshaft of today’s internal combustion engines with high performance output are exposed to harmful torsional oscillations originated from the unbalanced gas and inertial forces. To avoid the fatigue damage of engine components, caused by the undesired vibrations, torsional vibration dampers can be applied. Viscodampers are one type of the torsional vibration dampers, which operational fluid is silicone oil. For cost-effective R&D activities and production, finite element and finite volume numerical discretization methods based calculation techniques must be involved into the engineering work supported by the modern computer technology. The aim of this paper is to provide an insight into the multidisciplinary design and development process of visco-dampers in vehicle industry applications. Four different examples as structural, fatigue, CFD analyses and structural optimization have been introduced in the present work. It turned out from the static structural and fatigue analyses, that the investigated damper has safety factor over the limit for both static structural and fatigue analyses, so it is suitable for the given load conditions. In the structural optimization process 34.36% mass reduction has been achieved. According to the coupled fluid dynamic and heat transfer simulations a rather stagnating air zone evolved between the engine and the damper during the operation, which can cause efficiency reduction of cooling fins mounted onto the housing. In light of the numerical results, the suitable damper position has been determined for the highest heat transfer.

Topology Optimization of Acetabular Cup by Finite Element Simulation
22-34Megtekintések száma:417Hip replacements typically consist of a four-part piece. Our research will focus primarily on the acetabular component. Several different types of materials can be used when creating a hip replacement implant ranging from plastic to titanium. Different materials are used to accommodate for allergic reactions or circumventing potential health risks. Aside from the material, the size of the components plays a factor in terms of durability; a larger diameter head might avoid dislodgement though it could increase wear and tear on the stems through constant friction. A patient’s force applied to the hip replacement is usually measured through a number of physical assessments. Finite element analysis (FEA), a computer-based method of data observation, allows for us to accurately simulate hip forces and their impact on the hip replacements. Through this, it becomes easier to predict and calculate the performance of specific designs. Generative systems can also be used to support performance analysis and optimization through assessing a multitude of cases, many of which apply in real-world scenarios. By applying both systems, we designed and modeled an acetabular cup that when measured decreased the mass from 129 grams initially down to 52 grams, a 60% decrease in total mass. Furthermore, the design we created lessened the trauma on the piece through distributing force across the entirety of the piece rather than specific segments only. This shows an increased durability and life expectancy when compared to usual acetabular cups.

Plane wave-based models such as the transfer matrix method (TMM) can offer fast initial prototype solutions for muffler designers. The principles of TMM for predicting the transmission loss of a muffler was used. Result of this present study of an existing muffler has been analysed and then compared with vehicle level test observation data. Noise level have been optimized for new muffler design. Other literatures were played significant rule for validate our results.

190-196Megtekintések száma:126Az üzemek berendezései műszaki állapotának romlása napjainkban általános jelenség. Mindez a hazai és nemzetközi hatósági tapasztalatok szerint egyre növekvő mértékben járul hozzá az üzemzavarok és balesetek bekövetkezéséhez.

Digitalizáció hatása a hazai kereskedelmi stratégiákra
318-333Megtekintések száma:1386Tanulmányunk célja, hogy feltérképezzük a digitális tér illeszkedését napjaink és a jövő kereskedelmébe és meghatározzuk a digitalizáció hatását a hazai kereskedelmi stratégiákra. A fogyasztók információszerzési és vásárlási szokásai drámaian megváltoztak. A ma fogyasztója számára elsősorban a kényelem, a hatékonyság (a termékhez való gyors, kényelmes hozzáférés a megfelelő ár-érték arányban) és az élmény jelentik azokat a kulcstényezőket, melyek alapján döntését meghozza. A kereskedők igazodva ezekhez újszerű kereskedelmi stratégiákat alakítottak ki, melyeknek szerves része a digitalizáció vívmányainak felhasználása. Ennek egyik vetülete az e-kereskedelem egyre erőteljesebb globális fejlődése. A hazai online kereskedelem is évről évre jelentősen bővül. 2018. évi adatok alapján a belföldi és külföldi online értékesítés volumene meghaladta az 1000 milliárd forintot. A hazai online fogyasztók egyre gyakrabban és egyre nagyobb értékben vásárolnak az interneten. Az online bevásárlás virtuális valóság platformokon való megvalósulása pedig élményszerűbbé teheti ezt a vásárlási módot. A webshopoknak újabb fogyasztói igényeknek kell megfelelni és a megrendelt árut mielőbb, lehetőleg 24 órán belül kiszállítani. A csomagok kézbesítésének számos változata kezd egyre népszerűbbé válni (pl. csomagautomaták, pick pack pontok). A hagyományos csatornákat sem szabad azonban eltemetni. Óriási előnyük, hogy a vásárló több érzékszerven keresztül válogathat a termékek között és az impulzusvásárlásnak is nagyobb teret enged. Ezt a kor követelményeinek megfelelő digitális technológiával kombinálva teljes körű vásárlási élmény nyújtható. Felismerve ezt az igényt az online és hagyományos csatornák manapság sok esetben már keverednek (pl. multichannel, omnichannel, crosschannel) és rengeteg lehetőséget nyújtanak a fogyasztóknak a vásárlási folyamat során. A vásárlók kényelmét szolgálja a hagyományos üzletek eladóterének optimalizálása és a vásárlói útvonalak digitális technológiákkal (pl. digitális polccímke) való támogatása is. Az újabb innovációk a vásárlási folyamat automatizációját vonják maguk után és szenzorok (pl. Amazon Go) vagy robotok (pl. Pepper) segítségével teszik kényelmesebbé és személyre szabottabbá a vásárlási folyamatot. A digitális személyi asszisztensek az eladószemélyzet digitális változataként fognak feltűnni a jövőbeli vásárlásaink során.

Paraméteres programozás alkalmazása az optimális termelési szerkezet meghatározásánál
375-389Megtekintések száma:114A mezőgazdasági tervezésben gyakran felmerül az a kérdés, hogy a különböző inputokból (műtrágya, takarmány, öntözés stb.) mennyit használjanak fel egy termelőegységre (föld, állat) vetítve, illetve milyen intenzitással. Az inputok transzfomációs hatékonyságát kísérletek beállításával elemzik, értékelik. Például műtrágyázási kísérletekkel vizsgálják a tápanyag-utánpótlást, takarmányozási kísérletekkel a takarmányok beltartalmi értékeinek a testtömeg-gyarapodásra, tejtermelésre gyakorolt hatását. A bevitt inputok hatékonyságát a külső környezet (időjárás, talajviszonyok, váratlan események), az alkalmazott technológia és a biológiai tényezők egyaránt befolyásolják. Mindezeket és a környezetvédelmi követelményeket figyelembe véve kell megválasztani a gazdálkodónak az egyes ágazatokban az inputok nagyságát. A gazdasági optimumot általában ágazati szinten próbálják megközelíteni, ami a későbbi tervezési adatok alapjául szolgál. A matematikai programozási modellek segítségével viszonylag egyszerűen és gyorsan meghatározható az optimális termelési szerkezet. A modellekben az ágazati számítások alapján adják meg a fajlagos erőforrás szükségleteteket, a korlátozásokat és a célfüggvény együtthatókat. Ezzel determinisztikussá válik a modell, és az ágazati elemzések vélt optimumainak megfelelő termelési szerkezeteket kaphatunk. Ehelyett célszerűbb lehet az ágazatokon belüli összefüggéseket közvetlenül beépíteni a matematikai programozási modellbe és a vállalati érdeket az ágazati érdekek fölé helyezve meghatározni az ágazati inputok intenzitását. Cikkükben egy műtrágyázási példán keresztül mutatjuk be a termelési szerkezet és a növénytermelési ágazatok műtrágya inputjának egy időben történő optimalizálását, amelynek során a műtrágyázásra meghatározott ágazati összefüggések megjelennek a modell célfüggvényében.
