As a result of conducted studies, the unit weight of the item was reduced by 25%, and the stress limit values were reduced to a level guaranteeing safe application.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Shaping the Strength of Cast Rocker Arm for Special Purpose Vehicle}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/88760/PDF/20_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/afe-2015-0068}, keywords={Computer-aided foundry production, Design optimization, High-strength aluminium alloy}, }
