Small meeting room Publicated: 20.January 2021On the ground floor of the building, we have arranged a new meeting room in the room formerly occupied by the copy room. The small meeting room is suitable for meetings with a maximum of 12 people and can be reserved in advance at the Dean's Office. As always, we are concerned with order and cleanliness, so we ask that all users leave the room in perfect condition after use.

An inside view of fluid dynamics within a laser-induced cavitation bubble Publicated: 19.January 2021The wall of a cavitation bubble represents a spherical liquid-gas interface. Thus, different optical densities do not allow to view inside the cavitation bubble by conventional techniques. Matej Senegačnik and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Peter Gregorčič from LASTEH laboratory in bilateral cooperation with Kyoto University developed a new approach by diffuse illumination that opens the possibility to capture bubble dynamics inside the cavitation bubble with high temporal (250 ns) and spatial resolution (~ 1 mm). The results, that are important for further improvement of nanoparticles production by laser ablation in liquids, were published in Ultrasonics Sonochemistry.

Performance evaluation of a novel pilot-scale pinned disc rotating generator of hydrodynamic cavitationPublicated: 15.January 2021A new pilot rotary generator of hydrodynamic cavitation for wastewater treatment has been developed in the Laboratory of Water and Turbine Machines. The use of cavitation for purification purposes belongs to the so-called green oxidation methods, in which no chemical agents are added to the polluted water.

Energy efficient piezoelectric actuators used in hydraulic switching valvesPublicated: 13.January 2021In the Laboratory for Handling, Assembly and Pneumatics (LASIM), Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, UL have been active in the field of developing and integrating piezo technology into real components and systems for more than 20 years. They achieved a breakthrough with the development of a new prototype hydraulic digital fluid control unit, for which they developed an energy-efficient piezo actuator system that is unique on a global scale.

Experimental framework for identifying inconsistent measurements in frequency-based substructuringPublicated: 13.January 2021Researchers of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering presented a new method for identifying the consistency of measured dynamic properties of structures. Established methods are based on comparing experimental measurements with the results of numerical models, which do not necessarily reflect the real state of the structure. They were the first to develop a method to evaluate the consistency of a single measurement with respect to the other measurements in the experimental framework for identifying inconsistent measurements in frequency-based substructuring. The presented method was published in one of the leading scientific journals in the field of Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing (IF = 6.471).
