Abstract:

The FabSchoolNet general objective is to create a new model of educational network and a new way of thinking about the goods fabrication, by applying “learning-by-doing” & “hands-on” activities in student classes, encouraging them to participate more intensively, in a corporate workflow, from concept, design, prototyping, fabrication and marketing, with the support and participation of the Small-Medium Enterprises. Furthermore, the project aims to develop and implement a training program with three modules, based on the latest modern technologies and tools used in STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics), such us educational robotics, 3D printing and mobile technologies using augmented reality (AR) applications. The modules approach will be enriched with elements and themes in the field of Entrepreneurship Education, encouraging participants (teachers, students, etc.) to develop this new way of thinking and to act dynamically in a global market economy. The training programs will be finalized with various competitions / challenges, which aim to encourage participants to consult the real business environment so that they can acquire the ability to think and develop models and ideas closely related to the real market, using their own knowledge, skills and abilities. The activities developed within the project aim to involve the participants at all levels, from conception, design to product realization.

SECURITY INCREASE OF GAS SUPPLYING THROUGH TRANS-EUROPEAN PIPELINES Call name: Joint Applied Research Projects - PCCA-2011 call, Type 1

Abstract:

The project addresses the improvement of the security in exploitation of the trans-European gas pipelines by applying mechanized welding innovative technologies for the longitudinal welded joints achievement (Priority domain 2 - Energy). The goals of the project are connected to the evaluation of the maximum level of the strain and stress in the pipelines and to the modelling of the heat transfer in welded joints, when the submerged multiarc welding process is applied to the pipeline sections fabrication. Another goal of the project is the conception of an original multiarc welding installation used for the longitudinal welded joints investigation of pipelines sections. A comparative experimental research of the mechanical and metallurgical properties of the welded joints, achieved by monoarc and multiarc welding, will be conducted in order to analyse the welding process influence on the strength, plasticity and structural changes. The project will assure a sustainable development of the energy systems by increasing the security in natural gas providing, through the optimization of multiarc welding technologies, which leads to quality welded joints, free of defects, and decreases the possible accidents, such as explosions and gas losses. The economic impact consists in manufacturing, transportation and assembling of pipeline sections in Romania. The industrial implementation of the project results will be assured by the SC ArcelorMittal Tubular Products Galati. A new calculus analytical model of the gas pipelines, 3D mathematical models of the heat transfer at mono and multiarc welding, conception of an original multiarc welding installation and innovative optimal multiarc welding technologies will be the main deliverables of the project. The implementation of the project results will increase the competitiveness, innovation and knowledge level in the pipelines fabrication field.
