This paper descript software for vehicle simulation and mathematical models that describe the motion of the vehicle. A dynamic simulation model of vehicle was developed using Matlab/Simulink and SimDriveline toolbox. The model has a configurable structure that is suitable to simulation with multiple levels. The powertrain system model developed using Simulink and SimDrivline could also be used as a generic, modular and flexible vehicle modeling platform to support the integration of powertrain design and control system optimization.

Increasing number of technologically advanced mobile devices causes the need for seeking methods of software development that would involve persons without or with highly limited programming skills. They could participate as domain experts or individual creators of personal applications. Methods based on models might be the right answer, thus the author conducted workshops and surveys concerning perspectives of graphical modeling languages for the mobile domain. Research revealed that nontechnical users declared high learnability of simplified ones as well as the majority of them correctly read models in such languages.

The knowledge acquisition model proposed in this paper is designed to assist with the acquisition of knowledge in a company possessing its own maintenance department. The model is built on the basis of knowledge bases. The authors focus on basic information required for maintenance department operation and expert archiving of technical documentation. Three main areas are covered by the model: knowledge acquisition and formalization, knowledge systematization and knowledge retrieval by problem or field. It is assumed that the implementation of the model coupled with an electronic knowledge acquisition report and with an application for information retrieval will bring benefits for the company.

The paper presents a new extrusion process for producing twist drills using split dies. The design of the dies is described, where the profile of the flute-forming element is the same as the profile of the flute on the plane inclined to the drill axis at an angle equal to the helix angle. The proposed method for the extrusion of twist drills by the new type of dies is verified by numerical modeling. Three cases of the extrusion process are modelled, each with a different position of the flute-forming element relative to the axis of the drill. The paper investigates the effect of the position of the flute-forming element on the angle of inclination of the flutes and the cross-section shape of the drill. Numerical modeling is performed using DEFORM-3D.

In order to reduce costs of experimental research, new methods of forecasting material properties are being developed. The current intensive increase in computing power motivates to develop the computer simulations for material properties prediction. This is due to the possibility of using analytical and numerical methods of homogenization. In this work calculations for predicting the properties of WPC composites using analytical homogenization methods, i.e. Mori-Tanaka (first and second order) models, Nemat-Nasser and Hori models and numerical homogenization methods were performed.
