Controlling the mechanical response of stochastic lattice structures utilizing a design model based on predefined topologic and geometric routines
Inga Krešić, Jasmin Kaljun, Nebojša Rašović, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: The paper explores enhancing the mechanical behavior of stochastic lattice structures through a semi-controlled design approach. By leveraging the Gibson-Ashby model and predefined geometric routines, the study aims to optimize the mechanical response of lattice structures under compressive stress. Transitioning from stochastic to semi-controlled tessellation using Rhinoceros 7 software enables more predictable deformation behavior. Design parameters such as node formation, strut thickness, and lattice generation patterns are correlated with relative density to regulate stiffness and strength. Experimental validation using Acrylic Styrene Acrylonitrile (ASA) filament demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed design model. The research emphasizes the importance of understanding internal mechanics by introducing a novel design approach to control geometry and topology arrangement in shaping lattice properties. By introducing a semi-controlled mechanism, the study seeks to improve the reliability and uniformity of mechanical responses in lattice structures. The findings highlighted the benefits of semi-controlled design approaches in achieving tailored mechanical properties. Specimens were compression tested in quasi-static uniaxial loading and showed that structures created with parabolic distribution dimensioned by hp=0.5hv originated the most reliable and most vital mechanical response compared with other design models, including typical Voronoi distribution. The improved mechanical response in between proposed design models constantly progressed by about 15% on average consecutively, starting from the parabolic distribution dimensioned by hp=1.0hv as the weakest ranked, up to the best one, dimensioned by hp=0.5hv , even better than the typical Voronoi distribution. The proposed design model has introduced an entirely novel approach that significantly enhances the product’s volume tessellation using routines that guarantee the validity of geometric and topologic entities. Uniaxial compression tests on lattice blocks highlighted the effect of the proposed approach on the mechanical properties of these structures, having shown particularly crucial repeatability and stability. Overall, the paper contributes to advancing the field of lightweight lattice structures through the novel design methodology and material characterization.

Mechanical uniaxial compression of 3D-printed non-periodic ASA lattice structures using semi-controlled design models
Nebojša Rašović, Inga Krešić, Jasmin Kaljun, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: This work examines the mechanical behaviour of 3D-printed stochastic lattice structures fabricated using a semi-controlled design. A primary goal is to predict and optimize the mechanical response of these Acrylic Styrene Acrylonitrile (ASA) filament structures when subjected to compressive stress. By transitioning from a purely stochastic method to a semi-controlled tessellation approach within Rhinoceros 7 software, we effectively generated the proposed design models. This methodology results in mechanical responses that are both predictable and reliable. The design parameters, including nodal formation, strut thickness, and lattice generation based on a predefined geometric routine, are associated with the regulation of the relative density. This approach aims to minimize the effect of relative density on the actual stiffness and strength evaluation. Our findings are cantered on the compressive testing of structures, which were generated using a Voronoi population distributed along a parabolic curve. We analyzed their mechanical response to the point of failure by examining stress–strain fluctuations. Three distinct behaviour stages are observed: elastic range, plastic range, and collapse without densification. The influence of crosslink geometry on the elastic responses was highlighted, with parabolic configurations affecting the peak stresses and elastic line slopes. The structures exhibited purely brittle behaviour, characterized by abrupt local cracking and oscillatory plateau formation in the plastic stage.

Teacher's competences for using visual response methods in the literary education communication model
Kristina Šrot, 2019, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: In the article we present the method of visual response to literary texts, using the example of a folk tale from a foreign civilization circle titled "The Story of Caiman". In considering the perceptions of pupils in the 5th grade of elementary school, our goal is to examine teacher competences for developing the pupilsʹ ability to perceive, understand and evaluate literary texts and on this basis, to assess the justification of content integration (JCI) in the curriculum of university teacher education. This problem was observed within the framework of the interdisciplinary connection between literature and fine arts, since it is only possible to achieve optimal use of aesthetically designed text as a didactic tool for the externalization of the learner's dialogue with literary proverbs, thus checking to what extent teachers are trained in these methods (Visual Response Method) in the communication model of literary education.

Consumer preferences and reactions to brand expansion
Dijana Vuković, Fani Kerum, Miroslava Žukina, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: Consumer purchasing power is one of the key determinants of consumer behavior, among other factors. Acceptance of new brands or product line extensions of existing brands is influenced by perceived value. New products can be added to existing product lines by introducing new products within them, or brands can expand horizontally by entering entirely new categories or product lines. Any vertical expansion, whether to a higher or lower level, comes after a price shift and a product quality achievement relative to its base product. While survey-based research provides valuable insights that support the growth of the Premium brand, building a strong relationship with customers, quickly identifying preferences, personalizing the offer and fostering a climate of trust remain its main sources of value. The purpose of the paper is to show the positive relationship that exists between the vertical growth of the brand and the increase in customer loyalty, as shown by the research conducted on a deliberate sample.
Ključne besede: premium brand, positioning vertical expansion of the premium brand, consumer preferences, customer response to premium brand vertical extension

Statistical modeling and optimization of the drawing process of bioderived polylactide/poly(dodecylene furanoate) wet-spun fibers
Daniele Rigotti, Giulia Fredi, Davide Perin, Dimitrios Bikiaris, Alessandro Pegoretti, Andrea Dorigato, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: Drawing is a well-established method to improve the mechanical properties of wet-spun fibers, as it orients the polymer chains, increases the chain density, and homogenizes the microstructure. This work aims to investigate how drawing variables, such as the draw ratio, drawing speed, and temperature affect the elastic modulus (E) and the strain at break (εB) of biobased wet-spun fibers constituted by neat polylactic acid (PLA) and a PLA/poly(dodecamethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PDoF) (80/20 wt/wt) blend. Drawing experiments were conducted with a design of experiment (DOE) approach following a 24 full factorial design. The results of the quasi-static tensile tests on the drawn fibers, analyzed by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and modeled through the response surface methodology (RSM), highlight that the presence of PDoF significantly lowers E, which instead is maximized if the temperature and draw ratio are both low. On the other hand, εB is enhanced when the drawing is performed at a high temperature. Finally, a genetic algorithm was implemented to find the optimal combination of drawing parameters that maximize both E and εB. The resulting Pareto curve highlights that the temperature influences the mechanical results only for neat PLA fibers, as the stiffness increases by drawing at lower temperatures, while optimal Pareto points for PLA/PDoF fibers are mainly determined by the draw ratio and the draw rate.

High resolution short response time fiber-optic temperature sensor
Nermin Sinanović, Simon Pevec, Matej Njegovec, Vedran Budinski, Denis Đonlagić, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: This article presents an all-silica microwire optical sensor designed for both fast response time and high-resolution temperature detection. The sensor consists of a thin optical microwire created at the tip of an optical fiber, configured as a temperature sensitive Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI). For the purposes of achieving rapid response times, the sensing section of the sensor has a diameter of 11 µm. Experimental bench tests were set up to evaluate the sensor’s static and dynamic performance. The results indicate a sensor system resolution of about 5 mK and demonstrate a bandwidth of 38 Hz that corresponds to a response time of 4 ms in still air. The sensor’s functionality is shown through a basic periodic gas compression method detecting small temperature fluctuations. In addition, the sensor was demonstrated for operation up to 600 ◦C.

Influence of Al2O3 nanoparticles addition in ZA-27 alloy-based nanocomposites and soft computing prediction
Aleksandar Vencl, Petr Svoboda, Simon Klančnik, Adrian But, Miloš Vorkapić, Marta Harničárová, Blaža Stojanović, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: Three different and very small amounts of alumina (0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 wt. %) in two sizes (approx. 25 and 100 nm) were used to enhance the wear characteristics of ZA-27 alloy-based nanocomposites. Production was realised through mechanical alloying in pre-processing and compocasting processes. Wear tests were under lubricated sliding conditions on a block-on-disc tribometer, at two sliding speeds (0.25 and 1 m/s), two normal loads (40 and 100 N) and a sliding distance of 1000 m. Experimental results were analysed by applying the response surface methodology (RSM) and a suitable mathematical model for the wear rate of tested nanocomposites was developed. Appropriate wear maps were constructed and the wear mechanism is discussed in this paper. The accuracy of the prediction was evaluated with the use of an artificial neural network (ANN). The architecture of the used ANN was 4-5-1 and the obtained overall regression coefficient was 0.98729. The comparison of the predicting methods showed that ANN is more efficient in predicting wear.

UCHL1, besides leptin and fibronectin, also could be a sensitive marker of the relapsing–remitting type of multiple sclerosis
Ewelina Görska, Marzena Tylicka, Adam Hermanowicz, Ewa Matuszczak, Anna Sankiewicz, Ewa Gorodkiewicz, Justyna Hermanowicz, Elźbieta Karpińska, Katarzyna Socha, Jan Kochanowicz, Evgenija Homšak, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: Research on the markers of immunoregulatory response in multiple sclerosis (MS) is still of great importance. The aim of our study was the evaluation of leptin, fibronectin, and UCHL1 concentrations as potential biomarkers of a relapsing-remitting type of MS (RRMS). Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging (SPRI) biosensors were used for the evaluation of proteins concentrations in 100 RRMS patients and 46 healthy volunteers. Plasma leptin, fibronectin, and UCHL1 concentrations were significantly higher in RRMS patients compared to the control group (p < 0.001, respectively). UCHL1 concentration evaluation revealed the highest diagnostic sensitivity (100%) and negative predictive value (100%) in differentiating MS patients from healthy individuals. There was no significant difference in the UCHL1 concentrations depending on the patient's sex, the presence of relapse within the last 24 months, and the EDSS value (p > 0.05, respectively). In RRMS patients UCHL1 concentration positively correlated with fibronectin levels (r = 0.3928; p < 0.001). In the current cohort of patients plasma UCHL1 concentration was independent of the time of MS relapse and the severity of neurological symptoms. Thus current study may indicate that plasma UCHL1, besides leptin and fibronectin, also could be a promising high-sensitive potential biomarker of relapsing-remitting type of MS. However, these results should be validated with a larger group of patients, taking into account neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid analysis data, and by comparing them to patients with other neurological diseases as a control group.
