W. Osipiuk, K. Łukaszewicz: Strain hardening under non-proportional loading in polycrystalline aluminum alloys
In the paper it is postulated that the so-called common slip domains influence the character of the strain hardening phenomena for complex loading paths. The slip domains were evaluated on the basis of the Batdorf-Budiansky slip theory of plasticity. Evolution of a yield surface for different non-proportional tension-torsion loading paths was determined for PA4 aluminum alloy and the hypothesis that the strain hardening depends on the development of the common slip domains was shown to be justified.

M.M. Abdelkhalek: Heat and mass transfer in MHD flow by natural convection from a permeable surface with heat generation effects
The objectives of the present study are to investigate steady two-dimensional laminar flow of a viscous incompressible, electrically conducting and heat-generating fluid, driven by a continuously moving porous plate immersed in a fluid-saturated porous medium, in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. A uniform magnetic field acts perpendicularly to the porous surface which absorbs fluid with a suction velocity. The non-linear partial differential equations governing the problem under consideration have been transformed by a similarity transformation into a system of ordinary differential equations, which is solved numerically by applying a perturbation technique. The effects of material parameters on the velocity and temperature fields across the boundary layer are investigated [28, 29]. A parametric study of all the governing parameters is carried out and representative results are illustrated to reveal a typical tendency of the solutions. Representative results are presented for the velocity temperature distributions as well as the local friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number. Favorable comparisons with the previously published work confirm the correctness of the numerical results.

M.S. Węglowski, Y. Huang, Y. M. Zhang: An investigation of metal transfer process in GMAW
This paper presents the studies of the metal transfer process in gas metal arc welding with mild steel electrode. It aims at mathematic description of the droplet flight trajectory, droplet velocity and acceleration. To this end, the droplet flight trajectory was first fitted using the 3rd order polynomial regression and it was found that the model can be reduced to the 2nd order. The average diameter of a droplet, transfer rate of droplets, average velocity and acceleration of a droplet were calculated. The geometric shape factor was estimated. A new metal transfer monitoring method which is based on narrow band filter and does not require He-Ne laser, has been used in this study to observe the metal transfer process.

A. Zbiciak: Constitutive modelling and numerical simulation of dynamic behaviour of asphalt-concrete pavement
The main objective of the paper is to present a simple constitutive model suited for dynamic simulation of asphalt-concrete mixtures. ABAQUS/Explicit FE software is used for this purpose. The model belongs to the class of overstress hypoelastic-viscoplastic materials, taking into account the effect of pressure-dependence on yielding. The implementation of constitutive relations formulated in the paper is done through user subroutine module VUMAT. The results of numerical simulation of dynamic behaviour of multilayer pavement structure, illustrating the applicability of the algorithm, is also discussed.

R.B. Pęcherski: Burzyński yield condition vis-a-vis the related studies reported in the literature
The paper is written in accompaniment of the publication of English translation of W. Burzyński's paper [1], which deals with the yield criterion for materials revealing the sensitivity of yield strength to pressure derived by W. Burzyński during preparation of his doctor thesis in 1927 [2]. More recently the dependence of yield strength on pressure is related to the so-called strength differential (SD) effect, i.e. asymmetry of elastic range, cf. e.g. [3, 4]. Therefore, the original Burzyński's formulation of yield condition remains actual and acquires increasing significance. The position of Burzyński's energy-based approach in the literature is reported and his main achievement in this field concerning the recent studies is discussed.
