In tests on rolling movement the T-02U apparatus allows for the determination of:

ĥ resistance to surface fatigue (pitting fatigue resistance).

The T-02U four-ball apparatus may be utilised for research conducted in compliance with the follow-ing norms: PN-76/C-04147, PN-EN ISO 20623, ASTM D 2266, ASTM D 2596, ASTM D 2783, ASTM D 4172, ASTM 5183, IP 239, DIN 51350, IP 300.

Parameters characterising a friction pair:

ĥ type of contact: concentrated point contact, three-point contact, four 1/2” ball surface contact,

ĥ type of movement: sliding or rolling at the speed of the upper ball from 100 to 2000 rpm,

ĥ contact point load: constant from 0 to 7848 N (800 kG), or continuously increasing at the speed of 408.8 N/s (41.667 kG/s - 500 kG per 100,

ĥ spindle revolutions), ĥ lubrication method: bath lubrication by

a single application of lubrication agent sample prior to test commencement.

Fungilab Smart L is a rotational viscometer which operates by measuring torque of the sample rotating at a determined spindle velocity. A variety of instru-ments allow for a wide range of viscosity measure-ment. The instrument also enables temperature gauging since it is equipped with PT100 tempera-ture sensor. Viscometer is incorporated with spe-cialised software for computer connectivity for the purpose of archiving viscosity test results. Measur-

ing range 20 - 2×10⁶ cP, spindle rotational velocity 0.3 - 100 min-1.

Ultrasonic tests are one of the widely used meth-ods of non-invasive research utilising the phenom-enon of sound wave dissipation in a material. The technology of ultrasonic test enables detection and evaluation of internal material discontinuity, de-termination of corrosion loss thickness and tech-nical condition evaluation of a particular element in a technological or operation process. The vital advantage of ultrasonic tests is the quick obtaining of results, high level of precision and efficiency.

Application of a digital defectoscope enables con-trol of fault location and size. It is perfectly suitable for inspections of pipes and wires of welding lines, pressure vessels, forged elements, thick crystal ma-terials and aircraft components.

5.6. Division of Industrial Design

Faculty of Mechanical Engineeringal. Prof. S. Kaliskiego 7, 85-789 Bydgoszcz building 3.2 52 340-86-57

The Divison of Industrial Design was established in 2006. It was then the first and only organisational unit bringing together academics involved in both pure and functional art. The aim of the Division’s activity is to provide quality education in the ma-jor of INDUSTRIAL DESIGN. The Division employs academic teachers involved in sculpture, painting, drawing and design.

well as the wide range of cooperation with insti-tutions and artists form partner universities and academies. The main goal of the SYNTEZA SZTUK Art Festival is to convey the thought of unity of plastic expression and intellectual and emotional spheres with concurrent preservation of autonomy of par-ticular creative disciplines.

Students’ Activity

For the development of their own interests our Stu-dents pursue various projects and undertakings within the framework of DESIGN Students Associa-tion.

5.7. Shopa Design Thinking Work Space

ul. prof. S. Kaliskiego 785-796 Bydgoszcz [email protected] 52 340-80-62

Radosław Ratajczak [email protected]

The “DESIGN THINKING WORKSPACE” project is re-alised within the framework of measure 8.2.1. “Sup-port to cooperation of scientific environment and enterprises”of the Human Capital Operational Pro-gramme.

The idea that lies behind the project is the promo-tion of Design Thinking methodology as a tool for effective search for problem solutions. Its strength derives in interdisciplinary teams which are capa-ble of approaching a particular matter in an inno-vative way – looking for creative, but also feasible and required solutions to problems reported by entrepreneurs.

SHOPA’s power is exceptional space. It is there that permeation of disciplines and ideas exchange takes place under unhampered conditions. SHOPA oper-ates at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Technology and Life Sciences. Hardly any other place can match its technical, technologi-cal and intellectual resources.

The Institute of production Techniques is the meet-ing point for students and lecturers of both the Me-chanics and Machine Design and Industrial Design majors, as well as of the Faculty of Telecommunica-tions, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. In fact, students, lecturers and workers of Faculties of the University of Technology and Life Science cover the major part of branches and technological problems of our region.

Owing to this SHOPA has a wide field of possibili-ties to cooperate by inviting scientific workers and students.
