NONLINEAR VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF BEAM AND PLATE WITH CLOSED CRACK: A REVIEW
- Samrawit Alemayehu Tewelde
- Marek Krawczuk
The effect of nonlinearity is high sensitivity in damage detection, especially for closed cracks and delamination. This review illustrates the results of several researchers dealing with nonlinear effects caused by the closure of cracks in the structure, i.e., beam and plate structures. Early detection of damage is an important aspect for the structure and, therefore, continuous progress is being made in developing new and effective methods that use nonlinear effects for early detection of damage and barely visible cracks, i.e., closed cracks and delamination, as well as for the determination of crack size and location. After analysing various methods, the merits, drawbacks and prospects of a number of nonlinear vibration methods for structural damage detection are discussed, and recommendations are made for future researchers

Nonlocal Models of Plates and Shells with Applications in Micro- and Nanomechanics
- Mohammad Malikan
Nowadays, the use of small-scale structures in micro/nanomachines has become more and more widespread. The most important applications of such small-sized parts are in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) as well as nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) as actuators, sensors, energy harvesters. For example, nanosensors are nanoscale devices that measure physical quantities and convert these to signals that can be detected and analyzed. On the applications of micro/nanosensors in civil engineering, one can state that nanosensors can be developed and used in construction to monitor and/or control the environmental conditions and the materials/structures' performance. As an example, nanosensors can be used to monitor concrete corrosion and micro-cracking. The smart sensor can also be employed for structural health monitoring in bridges and other structures. In this regard, understanding the mechanical response of such structures in various environmental and physical situations is seriously required. For the design and modelling of such a device, one can use various approaches. First, we mention straightforward experiments which need special equipment and result in high costs. Second, molecular dynamics could be used, which requires a lot of computational efforts, in general. Moreover, this method cannot be implemented for all types of nanostructures. Finally, the application of continuum models properly modified for modelling materials and structures at small scales is worth mentioning. Among various enhancements of classic mechanics of continua and structures, we mention the non-local approach related to the description of long-range interactions. In what follows, we apply the third technique based on non-local models and corresponding modelling to thin-walled structures as principal elements of MEMS and NEMS. Moreover, we consider the coupling between mechanical and electromagnetic fields. So this dissertation is based on this approach. Using it, the mechanical behavior of the MEMS and NEMS has been predicted.

Nonlocalized thermal behavior of rotating micromachined beams under dynamic and thermodynamic loads
- Ahmed E. Abouelregal
- Hamid M. Sedighi
- Mohammad Malikan
- Victor Eremeev
Rotating micromachined beams are one of the most practical devices with several applications from power generation to aerospace industries. Moreover, recent advances in micromachining technology have led to huge interests in fabricating miniature turbines, gyroscopes and microsensors thanks to their high quality/reliability performances. To this end, this article is organized to examine the axial dynamic reaction of a rotating thermoelastic nanobeam under a constant-velocity moving load. Using Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity in conjunction with Euler–Bernoulli theory and Hamilton's principle, the governing equations are derived. It is assumed that the nanobeam is affected by thermal load and the boundary condition is simply supported. The Laplace transform approach is employed to solve the partial differential equations. A numerical example is presented to analyze the effects of the nonlocal parameter, rotation speed and velocity of the static moving load on the dynamic behavior of the system. The numerical results are graphically illustrated and analyzed to recognize the variations of field variables. Finally, in some special cases, our results are compared to those reported in the literature to demonstrate the reliability of the current model.

Non-Perfect Propagation of Information to a Noisy Environment with Self-Evolution
- Piotr Mironowicz
- Paweł Horodecki
- Ryszard Horodecki
We study the non-perfect propagation of information for evolving a low-dimensional environment that includes self-evolution as well as noisy initial states and analyse the interrelations between the degree of objectivization and environment parameters. In particular, we consider an analytical model of three interacting qubits and derive its objectivity parameters. The numerical analysis shows that the quality of the spectrum broadcast structure formed during the interaction may exhibit non-monotonicity both in the speed of self-dynamics of the environment as well as its mixedness. The former effect is particularly strong, showing that—considering part of the environment as a measurement apparatus—an increase of the external magnetic field acting on the environment may turn the vague measurement into close to ideal. The above effects suggest that quantum objectivity may appear after increasing the dynamics of the environment, although not with respect to the pointer basis, but some other, which we call the generalized pointer or indicator basis. Furthermore, it seems also that, when the objectivity is poor, it may be improved, at least by some amount, by increasing the thermal noise. We provide further evidence of this by analysing the upper bounds on distance to the set of states representing perfect objectivity in the case of a higher number of qubits.

Non-volatile molecular composition and discrimination of single grape white of chardonnay, riesling, sauvignon blanc and silvaner using untargeted GC–MS analysis
- Bekzod Khakimov
- Inal Bakhytkyzy
- Carsten Fauhl-Hassek,
- Søren Balling Engelsen
This study developed and applied a GC–MS method aiming at molecular fingerprinting of 120 commercial single grape white wines (Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Silvaner) for possible authentication according to grape variety. The method allowed detection of 372 peaks and tentative identification of 146 metabolites including alcohols, organic acids, esters, amino acids and sugars. The grape variety effect explained 8.3% of the total metabolite variation. Univariate tests showed two-thirds of the metabolites being different between grape varieties. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis based classification models were developed for each grape variety and a panel of classifiers (42 metabolites) was established. All the classification models for grape variety showed a high certainty (>91%) for an independent test set. Riesling contained the highest relative concentrations of sugars and organic acids, while concentrations of hydroxytyrosol and gallic acid, common antioxidants in wine, decreased in the order of Chardonnay > Riesling > Sauvignon Blanc > Silvaner.

- Ricardo Branco
- José Domingos Costa
- L.p. Borrego
- Wojciech Macek
- Filippo Berto
This paper studies the fatigue crack initiation and fatigue crack propagation of notched cylindrical bars made of 7050-T6 aluminium alloy subjected to multiaxial bending-torsion loading. The sites of crack initiation and the angles of crack initiation were successfully predicted from the distribution of the first principal stress at the notch surface. Fatigue crack initiation lives were computed through the new concept of energy field intensity formalised in a linear-elastic framework along with a local stress-strain model for notch plasticity analysis. Regardless of the model used to compute the cyclic response at the geometric discontinuity, the fatigue life predictions were in good agreement with the experimental observations.

The group of new amide derivatives of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and selected heterocyclic amines was synthesised as potential immunosuppressive agents functioning as inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) uncompetitive inhibitors. The synthesis employed uronium-type activating system (TBTU/HOBt/DIPEA) while or phosphonic acid anhydride method (T3P/Py) facilitating amides to be obtained in moderate to excellent yields without the need of phenolic group protection. Most of optimised protocols did not require complicated reaction work-ups, including chromatographic, solvent- consuming methods. The biological activity assay was performed on the T-Jurkat cell line and peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMCs) which are both dedicated for antiproliferative activity determination. Each of designed derivatives was characterised by reduced cytotoxicity and benzoxazole analogue revealed the most promising activity. Subsequently, an observed structure-activity relationship was discussed.

- Bartosz Nowosielski
- Marzena Jamrógiewicz
- Justyna Łuczak
- Dorota Warmińska
This paper demonstrates the assessment of physicochemical and thermodynamic properties of aqueous solutions of novel deep eutectic solvent (DES) built of tetrabutylammonium chloride and 3-amino-1-propanol or tetrabutylammonium bromide and 3-amino-1-propanol or 2-(methylamino)ethanol or 2-(butylamino)ethanol. Densities, speeds of sound, refractive indices, and viscosities for both pure and aqueous mixtures of DES were investigated over the entire range of compositions at atmospheric pressure and T = (293.15 - 313.15) K. It was concluded that the experimental data were successfully fitted using the Jouyban–Acree model with respect to the concentration. Obtained results showed that this mathematical equation is an accurate correlation for the prediction of aqueous DES properties. Key physicochemical properties of the mixtures—such as excess molar volumes, excess isentropic compressibilities, deviations in viscosity, and deviations in refractive indices—were calculated and correlated by the Redlich–Kister equation with temperaturedependent parameters. The non-ideal behavior of the studied systems were also evaluated by using the Prigogine−Flory−Patterson theory and the results were interpreted in terms of interactions between the mixture components.

Lung cancer is considered to account for approximately one-fifth of all malignant tumor-related deaths worldwide and is therefore one of the most lethal malignancies. Pyrazole scaffold possesses a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities, which play important roles in medicinal chemistry. The present study reports the synthesis and in vitro biological characterization of nine pyrazoles derived from chalcones as potential anticancer agents for non-small cell lung cancer A-549, H226, and H460 cell lines. Most of the compounds efficiently inhibited the growth of all the tested cancer cell lines at micromolar concentrations. One of the most active compounds (PCH-1) was further evaluated for its effect on cell cycle distribution, apoptosis, migration, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and oxidative stress. Furthermore, studies on the mechanism of action revealed that PCH-1 disrupts microtubule assembly, leading to cancer cell death. Molecular modeling studies confirmed the potent interaction of PCH-1 with the vinblastine binding site on tubulin. Overall, this study provides novel opportunities to identify anticancer agents in the pyrazole series.

In the present study, a hybrid photocatalyst of Zn/Ti layered double hydroxide (LDH) coupled with MXene – Ti3C2 was synthesized for the first time and applied in photocatalytic degradation of acetaminophen and ibuprofen, two commonly present in the natural environment and prone to accumulate in the aquatic ecosystem pharmaceuticals. The effect of MXene content (0.5 wt%, 2.5 wt%, and 5 wt%) on the photocatalytic activity of LDH/MXene composite was investigated. The composite of LDH/MXene containing 2.5 wt% of MXene revealed the highest photocatalytic activity in the degradation of acetaminophen (100% within 40 minutes) and ibuprofen (99.7% within 60 minutes). Furthermore, an improvement in acetaminophen and ibuprofen mineralization was observed for the composite material. Meanwhile, the introduction of interfering ions (Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, SO42-) in the model seawater did not affect the removal efficiency of both pharmaceuticals. The photocatalytic experiment performed in the four subsequent cycles, as well as FTIR, TEM, and XPS analyses after the photodegradation process confirmed the excellent stability and reusability of the prepared composite material. In order to evaluate the effect of various reactive oxidizing species (ROS) on the photocatalytic process, the trapping experiment was applied. It was noticed that •O2- had the main contribution in photocatalytic degradation of acetaminophen, while •OH and h+ mainly affected the degradation of ibuprofen. Finally, based on the results of Mott Schottky analysis, bandgap calculation, and ROS trapping experiment, the possible mechanism for pharmaceuticals degradation was proposed. This research illustrates the feasibility and novelty of the treatment of pharmaceuticals by LDH/MXene composites, implying that MXene plays a significant role in the electron-hole separation and thus high photocatalytic activity.

Novel Interpolation Method of Multi-DFT-Bins for Frequency Estimation of Signal with Parameter Step Change
- Kai Wang
- Shan Liu
- Lanlan Wang
- Janusz Smulko
- He Wen
The IpDFT(Interpolation Discrete Fourier Trans-form) method is one of the most commonly used non-parametric methods. However, when a parameter (frequency, amplitude or phase) step changes in the DFT period, the DFT coefficients will be distorted seriously, resulting in the large estimation error of the IpDFT method. Hence, it is a key challenge to find an IpDFT method, which not only can eliminate the effect of the step-changed symbol, but also can sufficiently eliminate the fence effect and the spectrum leakage. In this paper, an IpDFT based method is proposed to estimate the frequency of the single tone signal with the step-changed parameters in the sampling signal sequence. The relationship between the DFT bins and the step changed parameters is given by several linear equations. At most six different DFT bins are used to eliminate the effect of symbol.

This paper presents a feasibility study of a new type of microwave low-loss dielectric substrates for 5G network applications. The new substrate materials are composites of polypropylene and high-dielectric-constant micro-ceramics. This combination is expected to form a very low-loss dielectric material at low fabrication cost. Two substrate samples with different dielectric properties are fabricated and their characteristics at microwave frequencies are investigated in this paper. The investigation covers two scenarios for the metallization of the substrates to form printed circuit boards. The dielectric properties of the materials are measured using the split post dielectric resonator technique. Furthermore, the quality of the materials is experimentally verified though the design, fabrication, and measurement of simple resonator structures

An increase in electric railway vehicles service velocity requires that correct interaction between the pantograph and the catenary is ensured. This implies the need for developing mathematical models of pantographs and catenaries and determining their parameters. The article presents a method to determine parameters of mechanical joints of a railway pantograph based on analysis of pantograph subassemblies in swinging motion. The experimental tests consisted in disassembling the pantograph and creating partial subassemblies which were then analysed with respect to their damped linear or angular oscillations. The simulation analysis required developing, in CAD, 3D models of individual pantograph parts and their subassemblies. Defined were joints between particular elements, which represent of real pantograph structure. The inertia parameters of the model were determined, based on structural characteristics and physical properties of materials, used for manufacturing individual pantograph elements, and then verified experimentally. The dissipative parameters of the mechanical joints were calculated iteratively. The model of complete pantograph assembly was also subject to verification and in this case, good convergence between simulation and experiment results was achieved. The obtained parameter values can be used in simulation models of other railway pantographs having a similar structure.

Novel Nonlinear High Order Technologies for Damage Diagnosis of Complex Assets
- Tomasz Ciszewski
- Len Gelman
- Andrew Ball
For the first time worldwide, innovative techniques, generic non-linear higher-order unnormalized cross-correlations of spectral moduli, for the diagnosis of complex assets, are proposed. The normalization of the proposed techniques is based on the absolute central moments, that have been proposed and widely investigated in mathematical works. The existing higher-order, crosscovariances of complex spectral components are not sufficiently effective. The novel technology is comprehensively experimentally validated for induction motor bearing diagnosis via motor current signals. Experimental results, provided by the proposed technique, confirmed high overall probabilities of correct diagnoses for bearings at early stages of damage development. The proposed diagnosis technology is compared with existing diagnosis technology, based on the triple cross-covariance of complex spectral components.

Novel Tools as New Challenges to HRM Communicational Practices (and the Increasingly Important Social Role of the Manager)
- Marta Szeluga-Romańska
- Anna Modzelewska
Each communicational process consists inseparably of three aspects: the linguistic (which means the whole language content of the message), technical (which states the form of the message) and the social (meaning social relations, emotions, behaviours). The recent COVID-19 pandemic deeply influenced several layers of our lives. But the main aim of this chapter is to focus on the communicational processes that normally take place in organisations. We conducted a qualitative study based mostly on in-depth interviews and observations among managers and management students. The analysis revealed the enormous expansion of technical dimensions of communication, where personal direct communication was often replaced by indirect ones, supported by the usage of modern tools like internet communicators and interactive software. This resulted in abnormal reduction of the social – highly needed and obviously important – dimension. Such ‘new normal’ organisational reality forced the HR managers to re-think the flow and quality of existing communicational processes within which they are always situated, also considering its deep, multidimensional influence on the existing social relations. This chapter presents the results of qualitative studies from in-depth interviews, structured interviews and focus group interviews from 2012 to 2020. We aim to answer the question of the changes which were brought into organisations by the pandemic as our long-term research allows to follow the changes. As a result, we received characteristics of the organisational changes and the shift in expectation from the role of a manager in the altered social reality. Practical implications are included in this chapter and provide guidelines for communication in crisis situations while maintaining a high quality of interpersonal relations.

Novel Vision Monitoring Method Based on Multi Light Points for Space-Time Analysis of Overhead Contact Line Displacements
- Andrzej Wilk
- Len Gelman
- Jacek Skibicki
- Sławomir Judek
- Krzysztof Karwowski
- Aleksander Jakubowski
- Paweł Kaczmarek
The article presents an innovative vision monitoring method of overhead contact line (OCL) displacement, which utilizes a set of LED light points installed along it. A light point is an, LED fed from a battery. Displacements of the LED points, recorded by a camera, are interpreted as a change of OCL shape in time and space. The vision system comprises a camera, properly situated with respect to the OCL, which is capable of capturing a dozen light points in its field of view. The monitoring system can be scaled by increasing the number of LED points and video cameras; thus, this method can be used for monitoring the motion of other large–size objects (e.g., several hundred meters). The applied method has made it possible to obtain the following novel results: vibration damping in a contact wire is nonlinear by nature and its intensity depends on the wire vibration amplitude; the natural frequency of contact wire vibration varies, and it is a function of vibration amplitude; the natural frequency of contact wire vibration also depends on the wire temperature. The proposed method can be used to monitor the uplift of contact and messenger wires in laboratory conditions, or for experimental OCL testing, as well as for verifying simulation models of OCL.

Nowe potrójne związki w układzie RE2TGe3 (RE – ziemia rzadka, T – metal przejściowy)
- Leszek Litzbarski
Celem niniejszej pracy była synteza nowych związków międzymetalicznych z rodziny RE2TGe3, gdzie RE to metale ziem rzadkich, a T to metal przejściowy (Pd, Pt). Dokonano tego stosując metodę topienia w łuku elektrycznym. Za pomocą proszkowej dyfrakcji rentgenowskiej ustalono, że udało się otrzymać następujące materiały: Pr2Pd1.15Ge2.85, Sm2PdGe3, Tb2Pd1.25Ge2.85, Dy2Pd1.25Ge2.85, Ho2Pd1.3Ge2.7, Ce2Pt0.9Ge3.1, Pr2Pt1.15Ge2.85, Nd2PtGe3, Gd2Pt1.1Ge2.9, Tb2Pt1.2Ge2.8, Dy2Pt1.15Ge2.85 i Ho2Pt1.1Ge2.9. Aby uzyskać jednofazowe próbki należało w większości przypadków odejść od znamionowej stechiometrii i odpowiednio zmienić stosunek atomów T i Ge. W oparciu o analizę Rietvelda stwierdzono, iż związki te krystalizują w heksagonalnej strukturze o grupie przestrzennej P6/mmm. Obliczone wartości stałych sieci pokazują, że objętość komórki elementarnej maleje wraz ze wzrostem liczby atomowej RE, co jest zgodne z regułą tzw. „kontrakcji lantanowców”. Następnie scharakteryzowano własności fizyczne zsyntezowanych materiałów poprzez pomiary namagnesowania, oporu elektrycznego oraz ciepła właściwego. Na tej podstawie stwierdzono, że zbadane próbki można zaklasyfikować jako szkła klastrowe. Wyjątek stanowią Pr2Pt1.15Ge2.85 i Ho2Pt1.1Ge2.9, w których nie występuje uporządkowanie magnetyczne w zmierzonym zakresie temperatur (T = 1.8 – 300 K) oraz Gd2Pt1.1Ge2.9 zaliczający się do antyferromagnetyków.

- Adriana Zaleska-Medynska
We compared the activity enhancement effect of noble metal deposited on TiO2 in photocatalytic nitrogen oxides oxidation. Titanium dioxide was decorated with Ag, Au, Pt or Pd in the sol-gel process. Synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller measurement (BET), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). All catalysts together with pure TiO2 obtained by sol-gel (SG) technique were tested for their photocatalytic activity towards nitrogen oxide oxidation (high concentrations of 50, 150 and 250 ppm). FTIR spectrometry was used to determine the gas phase composition and identify TiO2 surface species. The Ag0.1 sample turned out to be deactivated within 60 min of UV/Vis irradiation. Photocatalytic oxidation rate towards NO2 turned to be the highest over SG (photocatalyst without metal deposition). NO2 formation was also observed for Au0.1, Au0.5, Pt0.1, Pt0.5 and Pd0.1. The best NOx removal, i.e., conversion to final product HNO3 was obtained with the Au0.5 photocatalyst.

- Dariusz Horla
This paper discusses the proper selection and interpretation of aggregated control performance indices values mirroring the quality of electrical energy generation by a turbine-generator set cooperating with a power system. Typically, a set of basic/classical and individual indices is used in energy engineering to ensure the mirroring feature and is related to voltage, frequency and active or reactive power deviations from their nominal values desired in the power system. In this paper, aggregated indices based on the sum of weighted integral indices are proposed, verified and built based on the well-known indices originating from control theory. These include an integral of the squared error (ISE) and an integral of the squared error multiplied by time (ITSE), applicable whenever an in-depth analysis and evaluation of various control strategies of the generation system is to be performed. In the reported research, the computer simulation tests verified their effectiveness in assessing the generated electricity on the example of a turbine-generator set controlled using a predictive control technology as well as applicability, proven by numerous simulation results to take various and different in nature requirements into account efficiently, in the form of a single aggregated index.
