Computer graphics for design processes in mechanical engineering

At first the paper describes graphical software which was created for supporting our research activities. This software uses GKS. Then the application of this tool is discussed especially for developing spatial mechanisms, for modelling spatial structures by means of FEM, and for designing assemblies in mechanical engineering.

Tensile Strength of Granular Materials

IN several communications1–4 on the tensile strength of granular materials bound by liquids, authors have tried to confirm or improve the equation of Rumpf5. At the Institute of Mechanical Process Engineering of the University of Karlsruhe, where the first measurements of the tensile strength of moist agglomerates started in 1957, investigations have recently led to a complete theoretical and experimental description of the tensile strength relationship in the whole moisture range.
