It is presented the analyses of a plane slab subjected to an uniform load, with the help of the finite differences numerical method. The problem, that summarizes at determining the stresses in certain points of the slab (assigned at the beginning of the calculus), can be solved using the plane elasticity equation.

Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences (SATW)
2015
Switzerland has a significant industrial sector today, which contributes almost 20 percent to the country’s gross domestic product. If we look at the next five to ten years, however, new technologies and processes are already emerging, the mastery of which will be fundamental to the success of Swiss industry. SATW has compiled the Technology Outlook which takes up these technological challenges and shows their relevance to Swiss Industry. For the Technology Outlook, experts from an academic and industrial background analysed comparable reports from major economic powers and compared international trends in the Swiss export industry. This revealed that certain key technologies will be crucial for the success of all sectors. These technologies have been illuminated with the help of industry representatives in a context where they should enable the breakthrough of essential innovations. Clear recommendations for decision-makers in the political and economic world conclude the outlook.

Urban goods transport plays an essential part in good operation of the cities, being in the same time source of negative consequences (congestion, pollution, consumption of non-regenerative energy). This paper presents the characteristic features of logistics scheme with urban distribution centers, considered one of the solutions of energy consumption decrease and urban goods transport efficiency enhacement.

Considering that transport modes are suited for certain market areas, it is proposed to shift from the existing concepts of inter-, multi- and co-modality to the generalizing concepts, theories and models in order to bring transport modes into an equivalent logistics space where the mobility systems are comparable and capable of cooperation at various levels: companies, logistic chains, urban corridors, urban intermodal platforms etc.
