Climatic conditions, such as hail, strongly affect the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) modules. The aim of this paper is to present comprehensive analytical and experimental research results and to evaluate the impact of hail on PV modules. The experimental study was conducted using a new approach in hail simulation testing the impact on PV modules. The impact of hail was compared using mechanical parameters, which were in turn reflected by electric power produced by a PV module. Based on both simulation and experimental results, optimization guidelines were proposed to improve mechanical resistance of PV modules. The scientific novelty of the article is the optimization of the theoretical model of the PV element based on experimental data. Mechanical impact parameters in PV modules, such as force transmission and final stress, decreased from 236 kN/m2 to 109.8 kN/m2 during the optimization process (geometry packages to obtain the lowest stresses).

The strength and stiffness of the frame is one of the key indicators of vehicle structures. Insufficient stiffness causes vibration and noise, and is also less comfortable for both the passengers and the driver. Symmetry is required between the strength and comfort of the structural frame, which depends on vibration and noise. This article analyses the frame of the structure of a medium-sized passenger bus and its dynamic properties, when replacing materials of structural elements which do not affect the symmetry of the structure. The conducted theoretical and experimental modal analysis of the bus, allows for evaluating dynamic parameters and validating the theoretical model based on the experimental results. The optimization of the medium-sized passenger bus frame—by replacing the material of the ancillary frame elements with fiberglass—reveals that its dynamic characteristics change by up to 20%, comparing the values of the first three resonant frequencies with those of the steel structure. The obtained results show that replacing the material of ancillary frame elements with fiberglass, while maintaining the symmetrical arrangement of the elements in the structure, does not change the safety characteristics of the structure, reducing the mass of the frame by 11%, and shifting the coordinate of the centre of gravity vertically downwards, which is very important for stability, comfort and fuel consumption.

Smoothness of tape movement and stability of the tape area where elements are generated are very important in precision mechatronic devices where precise elements are generated on a steel tape, controlling them in real time. During movement, deformations and vibrations form in the steel tape area where elements are generated as a result of imperfections of movement equipment, contact between the roller surface and the tape, and errors arising in the movement process. This article is based on the need for a detailed theoretical and experimental research of the effects occurring during the movement of the precision steel tape used in measuring systems with precision elements generated on the tape, including an investigation of the roller-tape contact. The article also aims to develop a model of the system for measuring the displacement of the tape in a raster formation device, to investigate and assess possible effects of external and internal factors on steel tape parameters. The article presents experimental research conducted for determining dynamic variables forming during the movement of a steel tape, assessing the factors that may cause raster generation errors in dynamic mode.

Bringing together the experience and knowledge of engineers allowed building modern footbridges as very slender structures. This in turn has led to structural vibration problems, which is a direct consequence of slender structures. In some footbridges, this problem occurs when natural construction frequencies are close to excitation frequencies. This requires a design methodology, which would ensure user safety and convenience of use of the footbridge in operation. Considering the aforementioned dynamic response, the analysis of the finite element model of a footbridge was conducted focusing on critical acceleration and deformation meanings. The model was based on the footbridge prototype located in Vilnius, Lithuania. Two different loading methods were developed to investigate the dynamic effects caused by people crossing a footbridge. The comparison of experimental and finite element model (FEM) results revealed that the footbridge in operation is within the limit values of comfort requirements in terms of its vibrations.

In this paper, a mathematical model for projectiles shooting in any direction based on sensors distributed stereoscopically is put forward. It is based on the characteristics of a shock wave around a supersonic projectile and acoustical localization. Wave equations for an acoustic monopole point source of a directed effect used for physical interpretation of pressure as an acoustic phenomenon. Simulation and measurements of novel versatile mechanical and acoustical damping system (silencer), which has both a muzzle break and silencer properties studied in this paper. The use of the proposed damping system can have great influence on the acoustic pressure field intensity from the shooter. A silencer regarded as an acoustic transducer and multi-holes waveguide with a chamber. Wave equations for an acoustic monopole point source of a directed effect used for the physical interpretation of pressure as an acoustic phenomenon. The numerical simulation results of the silencer with different configurations presented allow trends to be established. A measurement chain was used to compare the simulation results with the experimental ones. The modeling and experimental results showed an increase in silencer chamber volume results in a reduction of recorded pressure within the silencer chamber.

The impact of hail ice cubes on composite structures (such as solar cells) causes actual defects. This article presents a series of tests, in which solar cell modules were exposed to hail simulation testbed balls, allowing to assess the following: the impact energy, which causes the major defects in solar cells; the formed micro-cracks in the structure of solar cells, resulting in the loss of power generated by a solar cell; and the solar cell parameters necessary for modelling. In addition, this article presents a digital analysis of hail simulation. Information received from the digital analysis was used to optimize the structure of solar cells in order to improve its resistance properties. The aim of this study was to present a simple method for experimental hail simulation. The proposed hail impact estimation method can be successfully applied to study the influence of the mechanical–dynamic impact of photovoltaic (PV) modules of different structures on the technical characteristics of these modules (structural stability, power generation, etc.). The study showed that PV modules are subjected to an irreversible effect of the excitation force (i.e., micro-cracking) and it can reduce the generated power by 2.33% to 4.83%.

This paper discusses about the scatter of the intensity of vibration signals of paper prints and analyses their mechanical parameters applying the theory of covariance functions. It is an important practical problem, before starting printing process of colour prints, expecting the correct position of fixed raster points, to adjust the paper sheet tension between printing machine sections. The results of measuring the intensity of vibration signals at the fixed points were presented on a time scale in the form of arrays (matrices). The estimates of cross-covariance functions between digital arrays result in measuring the intensity of vibrations, and the estimates of auto-covariance functions of single arrays were calculated upon changing the quantization interval on the time scale. Application of normed auto-covariance and cross-covariance functions enables reduction of preprinting experimental measurements, which saves time (what is actual for industry). Tension force depends on the mechanical properties of the paper sheet and print. These characteristics depend on paper type, layers of printing colors and positioning of the coverage. In the calculation, the software Matlab 7 in batch statement environment was applied.

Many researchers have considered air quality degradation due to the emission of fine particles from industrialized and urban areas during recent decades. Recently, the European Parliament has had concerns about ensuring a healthy human environment. Therefore, the experimental and theoretical investigations of the dynamics of fine particulate matter are for determining efficient monitoring and cleaning air from industrially generated air pollutants. These investigations also imply the use of alternate methods that stimulate fine particle agglomeration. One of the methods is the use of acoustics. Many experimental investigations of particles with a diameter between 1 and 10 μm have proven that the use of acoustic agglomeration increases the particle size. Then, conventional air filters can be used to collect the larger particles. This process improves the collection efficiency of the particles. Particulate agglomeration chamber consisting of an acoustic field generator and an inner part was created for the test particles of diesel engines (range from 0.3 to 10 μm). Modeling of its elements was performed using Comsol multifunctional software. This sound pressure level is enough [1] to lead the acoustic agglomeration process of particles in the measurable range from 0.3 to 10 μm. The sound pressure level reach this value (130–140 dB) at the acoustic agglomeration zone. Additionally, the theoretical evaluation of the agglomeration time of two sub-micron particles enabled the estimation of efficient agglomeration of particles with sizes between 0.3 and 10 μm during the measurement period. A starting value of 136 dB of sound pressure level (SPL) was created in the experimental chamber with the turbulence condition, where SPL values were measured by using the Bruel&Kjaer measurement system “Type 9727” with hydrophone 8104. The observation concentrations of diesel engine exhaust particles in the experimental chamber with and without acoustic influence were performed using Particle Concentration Analyzer 4 APC ErgoTouch Pro 2. The results of experimental research shows that the acoustic agglomeration effect formed the proper conditions for the agglomeration of particles of all diameters (0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0 and 10 μm).

This article analyses the dispersion of vibration accelerations of a railway bridge during the passage of a train, and presents an analysis of their parameters after the application of the theory of covariance functions. The measurements of vibration accelerations at the fixed points of the beams of the overlay of the bridge were recorded in the time scale as digital arrays (matrices). The values of inter-covariance functions of the arrays of data of measurements of digital vibration accelerations and the values of auto-covariance functions of the individual arrays, changing the quantization interval in the time scale, were calculated. The compiled software Matlab 7 in the operator package environment was used in calculations. This article aims at determining the interdependencies of results of vibrations of bridge points rather than at the impact which a train makes on a bridge without emphasizing the modal parameters of the bridge. The aforementioned interdependencies make it possible to predict the results of hard-to-reach points.

Paper presents dynamic field test and analysis results of a three span railway steel continuous truss bridge over river Neris in Jonava. Bridge was originally constructed in 1914. In the period of the World War II and afterwards the bridge was many time destroyed by German and Soviet armies. In 1948 the new railway bridge was constructed. Object of the present paper is to evaluate dynamic behaviour of the railway bridge after 67 years in service. Experimental dynamic analysis was divided into resonance-vibration, forced-vibration and free vibration studies. Resonance-vibrations of the bridge were excited by separate actions of shock loading and standard locomotive 2M62. Forced-vibrations were measured under the action of locomotive 2M62. Additionally, free vibration tests under passage of freight and passenger trains have been carried out. Structural dynamic response of the bridge was analysed using Brüel & Kjær LAN XI dynamic test system and software. As a result, main dynamic parameters of the bridge were obtained. The main results include: mode shapes, frequencies of natural and forced vibrations, damping ratios, maximum amplitudes of accelerations, dynamic displacements. The obtained values were compared to the requirements of different design codes. Based on the achieved results concluding remarks and recommendations regarding the condition of the bridge after long-term period in service were presented.

Efficiency of modern photovoltaic (PV) systems decreases significantly when the crystalline structure of PV modules is damaged due to climatic factors, such as wind and mechanically similar dynamic effects. General certifications of PV modules consist of only static tests (according to Photovoltaic standard IEC 61215 and IEC 61646), however in reality, PV modules are operating in a dynamic environment. The purpose of the article is to show that for the certification of PV modules the dynamic characteristics of PV modules must be accounted also. Nowadays PV modules are used in different dynamic objects like cars, boats etc., where dominant loads are of dynamic environment. This paper presents theoretic and experimental studies. For the investigation of dynamic loads acting on PV modules, a testing stand has been designed. PV modules were loaded with cyclic dynamic loads. During the experiment, the PV modules were loaded with external excitation, the excitation amplitude is not exceeding more than 7 mm. During the experiment, the PV modules were excited, in the frequency range of 0 to 40 Hz and the sweep generating mode was used. The aim of this excitation to simulate different weather conditions. Experimental and theoretical results showed the reaction of PV modules in different weather conditions (which means that the effect of different wind speeds is evaluated). The proposed assessment methodology can be applied successfully when designing PV modules and accounting for mechanical dynamic effects. In conclusion, it is not accurate and appropriate to evaluate the safety and stability of PV modules just through the existing static analysis in IEC 61215. The dynamic effects of the loading on PV module also need to be paid attention to. The attention needs to be paid to the dynamic effects of the loading on PV module.
