Methodology of Teaching Methods of FEM Analysis Using Software ANSYS

This paper presents the authors' experience of teaching the finite element method (FEM) at university. With the development of computational tools in the second half of the twentieth century, there was also the development of computational methods focused on the algorithmization of engineering tasks based on FEM. From the solution of individual problems of the state of stress and deformation from the influence of the external environment, a complex solution of the mutual interaction of the system of deformable bodies (elements) has been performed while improving the physical and geometric characteristics of modern materials and structures. Many processes in the automatic design system take place as if in a "black box" and the process of verifying the achieved results becomes the most important stage in the design activity. Without knowledge of the theoretical basis of FEM, physical and mathematical modeling, verification procedures and methods, the design of a structure cannot be safe and reliable. In this paper we present one of the possibilities how the student can get acquainted with the theoretical foundations of FEM and with computational procedures using ANSYS software.

A Comparative Financial Ratio Analysis Between Conventional and Islamic Banks in GCC

Banking framework establishes the central mainstay of any economy. Banks functions as monetary conduits between sectors that have abundance reserves and those that are in deficiency. The historical backdrop of banking in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) traces all the way back to 1918 with the foundation of the primary bank in Bahrain. The territorial financial evolution is attributable to oil abundance and loaning business that spotlights on building, land and client advances. Throughout the long term, the financial framework worldwide has advanced in its contributions to suit the changing customer requests. One of the essential determinants of this change came about because of the strict convictions of individuals bringing about the remarkable development of Islamic Banking System. The prevalence of these banks are in nations with critical Muslim populace like Iran, Pakistan and Sudan but not limited to them. Islamic banks work under Sharia standards of hazard sharing and premium preclusion as appeared differently in relation to customary banks that purchase cash-flow to pool assets and offer cash-flow to produce revenue pay or benefit. This paper applies banks' endogenic elements identified with their monetary record and pay explanation and utilizing an aggregate of 24 financial ratios relating to the banks’ performance and seeks to thoroughly analyze the same among customary and Islamic banks. This examination clarifies the design, activity and the board of traditional banks in the GCC combined with the working of Islamic banks. The paper likewise intends to decide the beneficial and proficient banks among the chosen sample. The study incorporates 20 institutions, similarly dispersed among Islamic and customary banks utilizing information between the time of 2014 - 2017. The example is comprehensively ordered dependent on benefit ratios, proficiency ratios, asset indicator ratios and risk ratios. Further sub categorization is done to show up at an aggregate of 24 ratios. An independent T-test is used to determine a substantial ratio between Islamic and conventional banks.

SCIENTIFIC AND METHODOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF USING THE PROJECT METHOD AT TEACHING “BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY” IN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND “BASICS OF HEALTH” IN SECONDARY SCHOOL

The article researched the importance of using the project method in teaching “Biology and Ecology” in high (senior) school and “Basics of Health” in secondary school, as a method of content integration of the natural education and the conditions of effective student teaching. The relevance of this topic is that there is an observation of multi-vector using the “project method” in school today. New developments for the application of project-based teaching are conducted. The organization of project activities in the teaching process involves a specially organized by the teacher process, which is performed by students independently based on their subjective definition of the goal, while the project focuses on a set of actions that makes students independent. The result of the project activity can be any product of the student’s activity, for example, presentation, essay, and model. The method of projects is based on creativity, the skills of orientating in the information space and independently designing their knowledge. In the process of project activity, there is a metamorphosis of the teacher’s position in the educational process (the teacher organizes the students’ activities). For the organization of teacher's activity, it is necessary to master the methods and techniques of preparing students for the work on the project and its development. Teaching “Biology and Ecology” and “Basics of Health” is successful only if the teacher’s work with students in all its forms is a purposeful system of teaching and education that develops in unity biological concepts, dialectical-materialist worldview, thinking, and independent practical work skills, the project’s method helps in this the most. At the modern stage of development of school education, the problem of student's cognitive activity becomes especially important meaning due to the high rate of development and improvement the science and technology, society need for educated people and free from stereotypes, will be able to quickly orientate in the situation, thinking independently. Implementation of such tasks becomes possible only in the conditions of the project teaching stimulating the mental activity of students.

Impact of Timing in the Design Process on Students' Application of Design for Additive Manufacturing Heuristics

The goal of this work is to study the way student designers use design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) rules, or heuristics. It can be challenging for novice designers to succeed at creating successful designs for additive manufacturing (AM), given its differences from traditional manufacturing methods. A study was carried out to investigate the way novices apply DfAM heuristics when they receive them at different points in the design process. A design problem was presented to students, and three different groups of student participants were given a lecture on DfAM heuristics at three different points in the design process. The novelty and quality of each of the resulting designs was evaluated. Results indicate that although the DfAM heuristics lecture had no impact on the overall quality of the designs generated, participants who were given the heuristics lecture after the initial design session produced designs that were better suited for 3D printing in the second phase of the design activity. However, receiving this additional information appears to prevent students from creatively iterating upon their initial designs, as participants in this group did not experience an increase in novelty between the two sessions. Additionally, receiving the heuristics lecture increased all students' perceptions of their ability to perform DfAM-related tasks. These results validate the practicality of design heuristics as AM training tools while also emphasizing the importance of iteration in the design process.

DESIGN OF THE CONTEMPORARY GARMENTS ON THE BASIS OF THE TRANSFORMATION OF STYLISTIC AND ARTISTIC-COMPOSITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TRADITIONAL DECORATIVE ART

The purpose. This research aims to analyze artistic-compositional characteristics of Ukrainian traditional embroidery and decorative-applied art (using the example of M. Prymachenko’s art) used in the decoration of the actual ethno-styled garments. Methodology. A systematic approach was used in this research to project authorial contemporary garments: literary-analytical, morphological, and comparative analysis of the creative primary source, associative means of its adaptation to the actual fashion trends. The methodology of the research is based on the systematic analysis of the design projects using elements of the cultural heritage of Ukraine. Systematic-informational and visual-analytical methods were used in this research. Systematic-structural analysis was used to analyze the transformation of artistic-compositional elements in the process of shaping contemporary costumes based on associative transformations. Results. In the process of design project of the authorial collection of female Ethno-style clothes, it was found that decorative art and national garments have a high level of authentic symbolism if used for the actual projection image in conditions of contemporary design activity. Characterizations were given to some principles of implementation of the national image in contemporary trends of fashion industry development. Symbolic image of the floral ornament adapted from Prymachenko’s works as well as stylization of her works in ornamental motifs of the collection were used. Based on pre-project analysis and customer survey it was defined that there is significant interest in national motifs. A collection of female clothes targeted at a wide group of customers was designed. Scientific novelty. Principles of design-project of the collection of contemporary garments with authorial embroidery were proposed using an adaptation of national traditions of female clothes embroidery and folk-art decoration as a basis. Usage of different floral motifs and geometric ornament in ethno-style and implementation of this image as popular among contemporary women in their everyday life were justified. Practical significance lies in the development of principles of formation of authorial costume collection project-image, in justification of principles of ethnographically oriented prints and embroidery and the choice of decoration methods of contemporary female clothes.

Design as a Marked Point Process

Although AI systems which support composition using predictive text are well established there are no analogous technologies for mechanical design. Motivated by the vision of a predictive system that interactively suggests features to designer, this paper describes the theory, implementation and assessment of an intelligent system that learns from a family of previous designs and generates inferences using a form of spatial statistics. The formalism presented, models 3D design activity as a ‘Marked Point Process’ that enables the probability of specific features being added at a particular locations to be calculated. Because the resulting probabilities are updated every time a new feature is added the predictions will become more accurate as a design develops. This approach allows the cursor position on a CAD model to implicitly define a spatial focus for every query made to the statistical model. The authors describe the mathematics underlying a statistical model that amalgamates the frequency of occurrence of the features in the existing designs of a product family. Having established the theoretical foundations of the work, a generic six step implementation process is described. This process is then illustrated for circular hole features using a statistical model generated from a dataset of hydraulic valves. The paper describes how the positions of each design's extracted hole features can be homogenized through rotation and scaling. Results suggest that within generic part families (i.e. designs with common structure) a marked point process can be effective at predicting incremental steps in the development of new designs.
