Inverse rule of mixture [1] and Halpin-Tsai [2] formula have been used for predicting of transverse stiffness of lamina; however comparison with the experimental data indicated the results obtained using both methods represent the lower and upper estimates for the transverse stiffness values respectively for glass-epoxy composites [1].
The accuracy of the results predicted by the above FE models has been verified through correlation with both theoretical and experimental data [7].
A data file containing the deformed model becomes the starting file to which any magnitudes and configurations of transverse mechanical loading is applied prior to its reprocessing in a static or dynamic mode.
This reduction of stiffness with longer loading times can be observed from the stress-strain relations that were obtained for various loading intervals and plotted together on a single graph, as shown in the Figure 4.
· Predictions of transverse stiffness using models having unbonded interfaces agree better with the experimental data than predictions with bonded interfaces

According to the data obtained using a mathematical model of corrosion of second types of concrete, it was found that the decomposition of highly basic components of cement stone begins after 2,5 years of exposure to the environment [20].
These data confirm the calculated results of determining the concentration of chloride ions necessary to start the corrosion process on the surface of the reinforcement in concrete during liquid corrosion.
Using the method of corrosion measurements, experimental data were obtained for reinforcement samples in 2 % MgCl2 solution.

The physical parameters of the equation governing these characteristics was determined by the effective iteration method using only the information in the data sheet.
The analyzes of the characteristics of these modules, as well as the values of their degradation factors, showed a marked reduction in their performances, in particular, the maximum powers and the form factors.
Fig.3 represented a comparison between the experimental curve and UDTS-50W PV module simulation based on experimental input data (T = 40°C et G=900 w/m²).
PV UDTS-50W modules degradation analysis The evaluation of the degradation requires the external measurements conversion to the STC in accordance with the International Electro-technical Commission Standard (IEC 60891) [12], that is for comparison with the reference data (nominal data) given by the photovoltaic module manufacturer.

Key grinding relationships were analysed along with experimental
data in developing the crankshaft pin force grinding models.
Experimental Verification The required data to experimental validate the force crankshaft pin grinding models was obtained on a Landis 6 pin cylindrical crankshaft pin grinder using a Norton 53A54LVS specified grinding wheel.
The analog signals from the strain gauges were converted to digital signals and then converted to computer format by a data-logging card.
The data was later processed to a force reading.
It should also be noted that a reduction in system stiffness also decreases the actual grinding velocity produced, hence the actual distance being ground, which explains why the lower system stiffness values in Fig. 7 take longer to grind the crankshaft pin then the higher values.

In recent years the emergence of new structural concepts, in particular, frame-monolithic construction required the development of new innovative materials and technologies to strengthen the above-mentioned structures, under the condition of the necessary energy and materials consumption reduction of new developments.

Materials employed characteristics and other data are detailed in [16-18].
Their ratio is called the amplification coefficient - Summary The data analysis given in columns 5, 6, 7, 9 of table 1 allows to mark the following: - For flexible struts, each of the variable factors-the options for transverse and longitudinal reinforcement and, in particular, the eccentricity of the load application, had a greater impact than the short struts on the change in bearing capacity.
The obtained experimental data show that flexible reinforced concrete elements strengthened by external composite reinforcement and tested under the eccentricity of load application , which is not reflected in the requirements (i.e. within the inequality 0.1h<<0.3h), showed the possibility of the composite amplification within 20-30% compared to standard samples depending on the amplification options.

In the case of maintenance actions based only on "tracking" transfer functions (4) and (5), and carried out in the moments 0 and 1 from (15) we get the practical formula: a y1 y0 1 0 res y0 ˆ a u1 (16) where: 1Θy - value of the functional signal for 1 before adjustment (for the investigated example 1Θy =0,8), 0Θy - value of the functional signal for 0 and 1 after adjustment (for the investigated example 0Θy =1), resΘ - service life, ˆ a - intensity of influence of the control unit on the functional signal (e.g. 20% y for 2.5 revolutions of the setting unit u), 1Θu - number of revolutions of the setting unit required for reduction of 1Θy to 0Θy (e.g. 2.5 revolutions of the setting unit u).
For above presented exemplary data the value of the parameter a=0.17 means that the engine, which before adjustment lost 0.2 of its functional value, lost also 0.17 of its control potential.
