Series I - Engineering Sciences 2065-2119 Study on Designing a Modular House https://webbut.unitbv.ro/index.php/Series_I/article/view/5019 The paper presents a study on creating a modular construction based on a simple shaped module. The solution resulted from large research on existing designs, the idea of modular houses having not a long history, but a rich one. The existing solutions helped in formulating a list of requirements that included most of their advantages. The basic module is a square-shaped panel that can be easily personalized according to necessities: a wall with a door or/and windows, ceiling, and floor. The study includes solutions regarding electric wiring and plumbing design for bathrooms or kitchens. The design included solutions for creating different configurations and volumes for the final building involving the designing of connecting modules. A.F. Barbu L.

The work started from the exhaust manifold of the test engine D30 which was redesigned in CATIA V5, then pre-processed in Comsol Multiphysics. The results of the post-processing phase have generated temperature, velocity, pressure, and Reynolds number fields which were compared with experimental data from the engine dynamometric test. For higher accuracy, the temperatures of exhaust manifold surfaces were measured both with IR Camera Imager and thermocouples. A. Mazilu L.

The Control Instruments in the Discretization Mesh Generation at the Pilot-Raft Interaction Point https://webbut.unitbv.ro/index.php/Series_I/article/view/5018 The article aims to give a less theoretical and more practical definition to the tool called Subregion, from which the advantage of directly controlling the stiffness of the scraper slab without bringing an additional load of its own weight to the pilot's head can be concretely demonstrated. Deep foundations will therefore be analyzed. The Subregion is extremely useful in finite element modeling because it helps define caps without breaking the continuous surface of tile elements. This aspect will be covered in detail in the article, such modeling with Subregions leads to high-performance computational models, optimal from the point of view of file sizes. From practice, the author will present two case studies, concluding on the optimal ratio between the precision of the calculations and the volume of probable errors at the level of the results.
