Calculation of the radial coordinate of the center of hydrodynamical pressure of the self-set elastic metalplastic segments in view of the pliability of the covering

Calculations of radial coordinate of the center of hydrodynamical pressure with use of three known methods, confirmed their insignificant divergence are presented. The new method of calculation of radial coordinate of the center of hydrodynamical pressure developed by authors and results of its use with reference to bearing segments of four hydpower stations is considered. The received results confirm high reliability of the new method. Results of calculations of coordinate of the center of hydrodynamical pressure obtained by means of the new method of calculation developed by authors are presented. The results are confirmed by natural tests for the powerful hydrounit of the Volga hydropower station named after V.I. Lenin.
