Differential evolution in the decision tree learning algorithm
Статья научная
Decision trees (DT) belong to the most effective classification methods. The main advantage of decision trees is a simple and user-friendly interpretation of the results obtained. But despite its well-known advantages the method has some disadvantages as well. One of them is that DT training on high-dimensional data is very time-consuming. The paper considers the way to reduce the DT learning process duration without losses of classification accuracy. There are different algorithms of DT training; the main of them being ID3 and CART algorithms. The paper proposes a modification of DT learning algorithms by means of the information criterion optimization for some selected attribute. The use of this modification allows avoiding optimization by means of enumeration search over the entire data set. The Separation Measure method is used to select the attribute. The method selects the attribute whose class-based averages are most distant from each other. Optimization of the selected attribute is carried out using the method of differential evolution, which is one of the evolutionary modeling methods designed to solve problems of multidimensional optimization. Self-configuring at the population level based on the probabilities of using mutation operator’s variants was applied for differential evolution. The classification problems were solved to compare standard DT learning algorithms with the modified ones. Algorithm efficiency refers to the percentage of correctly classified test sample objects. Statistical analysis based on Student's t-test was carried out to compare the efficiency of the algorithms. The analysis showed that the use of the proposed modification of the DT learning algorithm makes it possible to significantly speed up the training process without losses in the classification effectiveness.

Статья научная
In solid solutions TmxMn1-xS, based on measurements of IR spectra and thermal expansion coefficient in the temperature range 80–500 K, the temperatures of sample deformation and disappearance of the absorption intensity of IR spectra at some frequencies are established. Anomalies in the temperature behavior of the electrical resistance are found, the sign of the current carriers and the mobility are determined from the Hall coefficient. The correlation between the temperatures of coefficient of electrical resistance and lattice deformation has been determined. A model of lattice polarons is proposed. The spectrum of electronic excitations and the density of electronic states in the interaction of electrons with flexural and tensile modes of the octahedron are calculated in the random phase approximation.

Статья научная
The article is devoted to the automated information system modification to solve monitoring and forecasting problems of natural and man-made emergencies in order to increase the efficiency of its functioning, namely, to increase the execution speed of the main operations, to reduce the error probability. Monitoring and forecasting of emergencies are among the priorities in the field of population from emergencies protection, as the prevention and elimination of their consequences are carried out on the basis of these tasks. At the same time, the data collection speed, processing and analysis largely determine the efficiency of the obtained results. The existing system of monitoring and forecasting of natural and man-made emergencies, its functional model in IDEF0 notation, characteristic features, advantages and disadvantages are considered. The existing system can be improved by automating a number of tasks related to the processing, transmission and storage of large data amounts, including real time data, as well as the generation of consolidated reports on the results of monitoring and forecasting of various objects. The information architecture of the solution reviewed and the corresponding database model form the basis of the proposed solution. The IDEF0 model of emergency monitoring and forecasting has been introduced taking into account the proposed modification of the automated information system. The main operation execution time comparative analysis based on the initial and modified automated information system (AIS) using the existing hardware confirms the effectiveness of the proposed solution. Data exchange and generation automation of consolidated reports on multiple monitoring objects will simplify analysis of the obtained results and solutions development based on them aimed at prevention of natural and man-made emergencies, as well as elimination of their consequences.

High complexity and cost of developing flying models necessitate the use of such design and production techniques that would ensure the best flight technical and technological characteristics of the model also would raise of it operation effectiveness. These techniques include the experimental control method of flying model’s mass-inertia asymmetry parameters during final assembly of the model. Solution of the problem of optimization the process of bringing parameters of mass-inertia asymmetry of the conical flying model to specified standards is considered in the article. The only correction plane is designed to be positioned close to cone face, away from the center mass of the flying model. The flying model as a component of prefabricated rotor is being balanced in dynamic mode on a low-frequency dynamic vertical stand, which based on gas bearings. Before balancing experiment the weigh, longitudinal center of mass and inertia moments of the flying model have to be controlled with use of another measurement equipment. As a criterion of optimization is sorted the reaching of minimum of the angle of deviation of principal longitudinal centroidal axis of inertia from geometrical axis of the flying model. But simultaneously the pre-set standard of center-mass shift from the geometrical axis must be ensured. Balancing algorithm, easy-to-realized by modern computers, is presented. Numerical illustration of balancing is given. The algorithm enables omitting intermediate steps of balancing, reducing them to one step (as a rule), and shortening the balancing time, as well. In one step of balancing the engineering model permits either bringing parameters of mass-inertia asymmetry of the flying model to specified standards, or diagnosing impossibility of attaining the specified standards with available design of flying model. The algorithm and balancing method are experimentally tested at newly-designed vertical dynamic stand on conical gas bearings. It’s high precision and efficiency are corroborated.

Elastic-plastic problem in the case of inhomogeneous plasticity under complex shear conditions
Статья научная
In this research, the authors solved a two-dimensional elastic-plastic problem of the stress state under com-plex shear conditions in the body weakened by a hole that is bounded by a piecewise smooth contour. The stress state of a complex shear occurs in a cylindrical body of infinite length under the action of loads directed along the cylinder generators and constant along the generators. At the same time, with a sufficiently large load, both elastic and plastic zones appear in the body. As in any problem of this kind, it is necessary to find a previously unknown boundary separating the elastic and plastic zones. Finding such a boundary is not an easy task, but the specificity of elastic-plastic problems of complex shear is that solving such problems is easier than solving simi-lar elastic problems. Apparently, for the first time this fact was noted by G. P. Cherepanov. A lot of research is devoted to elastic-plastic problems of complex shear in the case of homogeneous and iso-tropic plasticity. All articles that solve complex shear problems essentially use the representation of stresses and displacements in the elastic zone in a complex form. In this research, the problems of complex shear are solved using conservation laws. It is assumed that the yield strength is a function of the coordinates of the point where the stress state is being studied. It is known that the elastic properties of structural materials can be homogene-ous and isotropic, while their yield point and strength are inhomogeneous. This situation is observed, for exam-ple, in the case of neutron bombardment of structural materials. This research will examine exactly this situa-tion. The article presents conservation laws for equations describing a complex shear. It was assumed that the components of the conserved current depend on the components of the stress tensor and coordinates. The com-ponents of the stress tensor are included in them linearly. The problem of finding the components of the con-served current was reduced to the Cauchy-Riemann system. The solution of this system allowed us to reduce the calculations of the stress tensor components to a curvilinear integral along the contour of the hole and thus find the boundary between the elastic and plastic areas.

Cation-substituted solid solutions YbXMn1-XS were prepared by the melt method from polycrystalline sulfide powders. The synthesized samples are antiferromagnetic semiconductors and, according to the results of X-ray structural analysis, have an FCC structure of the NaCl type. Structural, electrical, optical, and acoustic properties of the chalcogenide system YbXMn1-XS were studied in the temperature range 80–500 K. The effect of variable valence elements on the electronic structure of cationic substitution of manganese sulfide has been studied. The change in the electronic structure in the YbXMn1-XS system occurs due to the electron-phonon interaction. Samples with variable valence have anomalous compressibility, which is confirmed by the data on the thermal expansion coefficient and the change in the attenuation coefficient. As a result of inelastic interaction with d- electrons, the density of states at the Fermi level changes, this is reflected in the temperature dependence of the conductivity. The positions of the f-level and two electronic transitions were determined from the IR spectra. A zone of temperatures and concentrations was found, where a correlation of structural, electrical, optical and acoustic properties is observed. To explain the experimental results, the electronic structure of the semiconductor is considered and a model is proposed that qualitatively describes the experiment.

Electrooptical response of the films of polymer dispersed nematic with conical boundary conditions
Статья научная
The electrooptic response of films of polymer dispersed nematic under conical boundary conditions has been investigated. An axial-bipolar director configuration is formed in nematic droplets. It has been shown that initially, the orientation of droplet’s bipolar axes is chaotic both in the sample plane and relative to the normal to the substrates. The applied voltage U orients the droplet’s bipolar axes parallel to the electric field and the reorientation process is threshold only when the bipolar axis is initially orthogonal to the substrate normal. Accordingly, the samples strongly scatter light in the initial state, and the optical response to an electric field is thresholdless. The samples with a film thickness of 5, 10, 20 and 30 μm have been studied. All the samples under study are characterized by a high transmittance and contrast ratio, which for a 30 μm sample are equal to 84 % and 5536, respectively, and achieved at U = 12 V. The results obtained are relevant for use in low-power optoelectronic devices required for the development of energy-saving technologies in aerospace engineering.

Energy saving simulation test complex for spacecraft power supplies full-scale electrical tests
Статья научная
The aim of this paper is to describe an energy saving automatized simulation test complex used for spacecraft power supplies full-scale electrical ground-based tests. The complex allows you to simulate the operation of solar array, lithium- ion-battery and spacecraft payload. The distinctive features of the test complex are a continuous and impulse control methods combination with an improved dynamic accuracy, and recuperation of consumed energy into its internal DC network for the better energy efficiency. Test complex operational time from uninterruptible power supply accumulator batteries is significantly increased due to the recuperation of excess power into the test complex internal DC network. The results are experimentally proved. The authors of the paper analyzed dynamic accuracy improvement and energy saving during ground-based spacecraft power system electrical tests. The process of ground-based spacecraft electrical testing includs the following tasks: – the accurate simulation of static and dynamic characteristics of spacecraft power system energy sources and loads; – the utilization of energy produced by power system under load and during spacecraft battery charge simulation. The paper deals with the description of energy saving automatized simulation test complex (ESAST) including complex subsystems structure and experimental study of the test complex characteristics. Commercially available simulation test complexes usually use continuous or impulse control methods. The continuous control methods decrease energy efficiency, as the most part of energy is dissipated on the regulator, which requires massive heat sink, increasing weight and size. It makes difficult to produce high-power test complexes. The impulse control methods provide better energy efficiency, but limit dynamics and real devices fast response reproduction accuracy. The paper describes the combination of continuous and impulse control methods with the aim of taking the advantages of both. The energy consumed by the test complex can be utilized either by the heat dissipation in the environment or by the recuperation into industrial AC grid. The heat dissipation reduces the energy efficiency, increases the testing room temperature (in case of high-power spacecraft power system) and an air conditioning system. The recuperation into AC grid is free of specified disadvantages, but it requires the recuperated excess energy parameters matching with AC grid requirements through the network of grid-tied inverters, which leads to the increase of weight and size of the test complex. Moreover, the recuperation into AC grid is difficult during grid emergency shutdown, which can result in long test failure. The paper describes the method of excess energy recuperation into the complex internal DC network. The method significantly reduced test complex energy consumption, which in case of powering test complex from uninterruptible power supply (UPS) notably increase operating time from UPS accumulator batteries during AC grid emergency shutdown. In conclusion the main advantages of ESAST are given: – more than twice wattage reduction of test complex main power supply; – the ability to work during AC grid emergency shutdown with increased operating time from UPS; – the significant reducing of ESAST main parts weight and size.

Currently, in the field of engine building, development of three-component propulsion systems (PS) is a very promising task. Liquid-propellant rocket engines (LPRE) operating at the initial stage of launching a launch vehicle (LV) on liquid oxygen + kerosene fuel and at high-altitude launch sites using cryogenic fuel (liquid oxygen + liquid hydrogen) are in particular interest. LPRE that use three-component fuel have a high pressure level in a combustion chamber (CC) (up to 30 MPa) and temperatures (up to 4000 K). In this regard, arise questions related to reliable cooling of such engines, as well as ensuring minimal hydraulic fluid losses in a cooling passage in order to further use re-frigerant as a working fluid for driving the turbine of a booster turbo pump unit (BTP). The object of research is a two-mode single-chamber three-component liquid-propellant rocket engine, made in a closed circuit with generator gas afterburning. Oxidizing agent is liquid oxygen, fuel is RG-1 kerosene and liquid hydrogen. Cooling of the chamber is combined: it consists of regenerative and internal. Regenerative cooling passage is formed by longitudinal integral-machined fins. Hipercritical hydrogen is used as an engine coolant. Internal cooling includes a tantalum coating applied to a fire wall of the chamber in a critical section. The article examines the problems of organizing cooling system (CS) and implementation of effective heat removal from a firing wall of a three-component rocket engine. Basing on existing liquid-propellant engine cooling systems, optimal circuit solutions and measures to remove thermal load in the most stressed places are proposed. A mathematical model has been developed for calculating a CS of a three-component LPRE. The results of the design calculation of cooling using several calculation methods are presented.

Heterogeneous energy sources and homogeneous energy sources with different characteristics are frequently used in autonomous power supply systems. Solar batteries are widely used as primary energy sources for on-board power supply systems of spacecrafts, unmanned and manned aircrafts. Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal and hydro energy, serve as primary energy sources of terrestrial autonomous power supply systems. Matching primary energy sources with different characteristics and operating conditions within a unified power supply system leads to problems connected with the power control of energy sources, which determines the relevance of the considered problems. The main aim of the study is to develop a combination of primary energy sources and control techniques which allow using primary energy sources with different characteristics and operating conditions in unified autonomous power supply system. The objectives of the study are to create the simulation model of a power supply system using MATLAB/Simulink software; to develop and test control algorithms for primary energy source controllers that would allow to maintain the needed battery charging current; to develop and test control algorithms for primary energy source controllers that would allow the primary energy sources to operate in the maximum power point tracking mode and to minimize the maximum power point search time. Methods used in the study: the simulation of a power supply system using MATLAB 7.9 Simulink software. Results: the simulation model of a power supply system including two primary energy sources with different characteristics is designed. In the case of excess power generating by the primary energy source, its controller operates in the battery charging mode. When the primary source power shortage occurs, its controller operates in the maximum power point tracking mode. The proposed power supply system structure allows controlling two energy sources independently, thus the primary energy source controllers can operate in different modes. This provides flexibility of the power supply system. The use of fuzzy logic control algorithm increases the accuracy and search speed of the maximum power point tracking algorithm. Simulation results confirmed the efficiency of the proposed solar controller operation algorithms in all modes stated above. The efficiency of controller operation modes selection algorithm was confirmed in different operating conditions. The proposed algorithms allow implementing the effective control of primary power sources depending on power supply system operating conditions.

A lot of sets of subjects and objects in biology, industry, management can be divided into a number of classes, each of which corresponds to a certain distribution component. When analyzing a mixture of distributions, it is necessary to estimate its parameters (task 1) and to assess the correspondence of empirical and theoretical distribution functions (task 2). To solve the first problem, numerical algorithms that implement the method of moments and the maximum likelihood method are used. In this paper, the problem of estimating the distribution parameters is solved by minimizing the goodness measure by the Quasi-Newton method. The second problem is solved by comparing the empirical and theoretical distribution functions by one or several statistical goodness measures. Statistics of the distribution of these measures depends on the sample size, the method of forming data and estimating distribution parameters. The paper examines the goodness measure between Frocini and omega-square (Kramer – Mises – Smirnov). The evaluation of the statistics of the goodness measure was carried out by the simulation method based on the results of 50000 statistical tests. In each of the tests, the distribution parameters were estimated by minimizing the calculated value of the corresponding goodness measure. The results of simulation modeling allow estimating the statistics of the parameters of a mixture of distributions. The results of solving the considered problems for a mixture of two normal distributions of size 240 are presented.

Transport operations that ensure the change of the orbit of a spacecraft or its transfer to the departure trajectory are an integral part of almost all space missions. Increasing requirements for the efficiency of transporting spacecraft form the need to search for possible ways to increase this efficiency and assess the characteristics associated with the proposed methods. Current boosters and interorbital tugs, as a rule, use a chemically powered cruise engine, although solutions with the use of an electric jet engine are becoming more common. Due to the high rate of the outflow of working fluid which is much higher than that of combustion products in a chemical engine, the efficiency of use of the substance mass by an electric jet engine significantly exceeds this indicator for a chemical engine. However, the low thrust provided by the electric jet engine leads to high duration of the transport operation and, as a result, to considerable time of exposure to the outer space factors, in particular, radiation. Therefore, the use of the electric jet engine only does not always meet the requirements for the mission. One of the promising ways to increase the efficiency of transport operations is the combination of the traditional chemical and electric jet engines in the propulsion system. Various aspects of the use of such an integrated propulsion system (IPS) consisting of a solar electric jet system and “Fregat” booster were considered, for example, in the framework of “Dvina TM” research project. Unlike a chemical engine, in which energy is released from chemical bonds, the energy for accelerating the working fluid by an electric jet engine is supplied from outside. Solar batteries are the most widespread energy source in nearearth orbits, where the amount of solar radiation is sufficient to meet the energy needs of a spacecraft. Solar batteries are sensitive to radiation, damage accumulates in their internal structure and their characteristics degrade. Therefore, there is a need to account for the radiation dose accumulated during the execution of the transport operation and to evaluate the reduction in the efficiency of solar batteries. Uneven irradiation intensity in the radiation belts formed by the Earth’s magnetic field (Van Allen belts) can be taken into account if the assessment of the radiation intensity at the trajectory points of the maneuver is made using the Earth radiation belt model. The paper proposes a method that allows taking into account the effect of ionizing radiation on the degradation of solar batteries when performing a transport operation using an integrated propulsion system based on a liquidpropellant rocket engine and an electric jet engine, taking into account the chosen trajectory and the model of the Earth’s radiation belt.

Electro-jet (plasma or ion) thrusters are becoming increasingly common to correct a satellite orbit and perform orbit raising maneuvers to achieve the geostationary orbit. This is due to the greater efficiency of plasma thrusters compared to chemical ones. When developing a satellite platform, an important place is the matching up of the electrical character-istics of the electric power subsystem (EPS) and on-board consumers. Intrinsically, this issue is an intersys-tem problem. The lack of proper attention paid to find the timely and correct solution of this problem can complicate the operation of the satellite electric power subsystem. The most important subsystem, which has a significant impact on the operation of the satellite EPS, is the electric-jet propulsion subsystem, since among on-board consumers, this one is the most powerful consumer being switched simultaneously. Tran-sients occurred in the power supply circuits following thruster firing and shut down processes can reach significant values. An electric jet thruster only runs in conjunction with a complex electronic unit – a power processing unit (PPU), which converts the voltage of the on-board power supply into a set of voltages nec-essary for thruster components to run. Therefore, in the preliminary design of the propulsion subsystem, it is necessary to know the electrical characteristics of transients and ripples in the power supply circuits of the thruster / PPU combination being an electrical load of the Electric power subsystem. It is difficult to obtain the characteristics of such processes by the calculation method. Therefore, an experimental method is the most common and objective method to obtain this information. JSC ISS carried out tests allowing to measure characteristics of transients and ripples under firing, running and shut down of plasma thrusters of different types powered by corresponding PPU’s. These tests were conducted using a vacuum chamber GVU-60. A test power supply was used to simulate EPS operation. This paper presents the results of meas-urements and analysis of parameters of transients and ripples on PPU power buses used for thrusters and devices of three types. These results are considered to be preliminary. It is shown that the greatest difficul-ties can arise when operating high-power thrusters. It is concluded that for each new type of thrusters and PPU’s it is advisable to conduct interface tests of the propulsion subsystem and the satellite electric power subsystem.

In this paper the approach for external boundary of pole localization region formulation for transfer function with interval-given parameters is proposed. The boundary is formulated as analytic piecewise function of characteristic polynomial parameters of the given transfer function. Analytic formulation of external boundary of poles localization region allows to reduce computations since existing methods require iterative numeric calculations of characteristic equation roots with fixed step size for edges mapping or full interval root locus mapping as well. Formulated boundary allows to clearly describe system behavior and calculate variation ranges of performance indexes. In addition, piecewise function that constrains gives new opportunities for parametric controller synthesis for systems introduced by transfer functions with interval-given parameters. The results can find its practical application in aerospace engineering problems of mathematical analysis and synthesis for highly-precise systems of self-direction missiles. In the research the boundary formulation is performed for third order transfer function. Transfer function order was chosen due to the fact that many physical systems and objects can be described mathematically with the third order transfer function, e.g. model of missile target-seeking head with gyro stabilized drive is described with this model. The research was performed on the basis of the following step sequence: firstly, analytical solving of cubic equation applying Cardano’s formula; secondly, interval root locus edges functions obtaining, next external vertexes set obtaining and, finally, external border formulation and plotting.

Factor analysis of inelastic electron scattering cross section spectra of iron monosilicide FeSi
Статья научная
The inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectra of FeSi silicide were calculated from the experimental reflected electron energy loss spectra as the product of the average inelastic mean free path and the differential cross section of the inelastic electron scattering. To inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectra study, factor analysis was used. This method allowed us to quantitatively separate the surface and bulk contributions to the spectra, and determine the energy of the bulk plasmon more accurately than it is possible using traditional methods. Inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectra (Kλ-spectra) are the products of the average inelastic mean free path λ and the differential inelastic scattering cross-section K (E0, E0 – E), where E0 and E are the energies of the primary and reflected electrons, respectively. The advantage of inelastic electron scattering cross section spectroscopy is that, unlike the reflected electron energy loss spectra, the Kλ-spectra exclude losses due to multiple excitations, and the intensities are determined in absolute units. These spectra are also more sensitive to changes in the energy of the primary electrons and the angle of emission. Inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectroscopy allows to determine the element composition with much greater accuracy than the traditional method of reflected electron energy loss spectroscopy. In this work, factor analysis is used to study the inelastic electron scattering cross section spectra of the FeSi silicide. This method allowed to solve the actual problem of separating spectra into contributions of a different origin, quantify them and determine the energies of a bulk plasmon more accurately compared with traditional methods. The study of electron energy loss processes by isolating contributions of different origin in the inelastic electron scattering cross section spectra is one of the urgent problems of electron spectroscopy, which can be used to assess the effect of surface excitations in REELS, XPS and AES.

During the liquid rocket engines (LRE) testing, direct thrust measurement is carried out using thrust measurement devices. The aim of the work was, on the basis of existing data from the theory of tests and test stands devices, to highlight the design features of the thrust measurement devices and propose an option to improve the performance of this stand system. The work considers the basic circuit power schemes of thrust measurement devices by the example of power measuring systems of existing fire test stands and the features of work on preparing systems for testing. The types of calibration systems worked out in practice, their advantages and disadvantages, which constitute calibration errors, are considered. An option is proposed to modernize thrust measurement devices, in particular, through implementing of an electromechanical drive based on a planetary roller-screw mechanism as a force setting element into the calibration system. A possible general conceptual diagram of the power drive operation as a part of the calibration system of the thrust measurement devices is given. The advantages and disadvantages, the predicted effects of implementation are considered. A more detailed analysis of this proposal may serve as an occasion for the modernization of the specific operational thrust measurement devices design at the fire test stand for LREs or may be a working option when designing a new thrust measurement device.

Features of electroactivated water production at a coaxial electrode location
Статья научная
Important characteristics of any product are quality and reliability. One of the factors affecting product reliability is the surface cleanliness provided by flushing with liquids. Electroactivated water and aqueous solutions can be used as liquids. On the basis of domestic and foreign experience, leading experts have developed methodological instructions for the widespread implementation of electro-activated water and aqueous solutions in instrument-making and mechanical engineering. For the production of electrochemically activated water and solutions, non-flowing and flowthrough modular elements, as well as universal installations, have been developed. Analysis of the structures of these devices has shown that flat metal plates are used as electrodes, therefore there are volumes of water that are subjected to uneven electrical effects. As a result, the specific energy consumption for obtaining activated water is significant. The purpose of the work is to reduce the specific energy consumption in the production of activated water and aqueous solutions. Coaxial arrangement of the electrodes leads to reduction in energy consumption. The study of the electroactivator of water with a coaxial arrangement of electrodes allowed us to establish the optimal ratio between the volumes of anolyte and catholyte and the time of electrolysis of water and an aqueous solution of sodium chloride. A new indicator of efficiency (the specific energy consumption per unit of change in the pH of water or an aqueous solution) objectively reflects the perfection of the design of electroactivators. The research results can be used in instrument and mechanical engineering.

Features of modeling the electron beam distribution energy for the electron-beam welding process
Статья научная
The energy distribution of the electron beam by means of application of various scanning paths, affects for-mation of the weld, which relates to the quality of the welded joints. Experimental studies, conducted by the au-thors of the article showed that scanning the electron beam in the form of a raster shape gives the best quality of welded joints; therefore, the trajectories of a classical raster and a truncated raster are proposed for the elec-tron beam welding process. When conducting research in this direction, the authors discovered the following regularity: with an increase in the scanning amplitude along the junction, the vapour-gas penetration channel transforms into a stable cavity, along the front wall of which the metal melts, and along the side walls it is trans-ferred to the tail of the weld pool. The discovered effect of the formation of a penetration cavity is to be investigated in electron beam welding of various materials and thicknesses. For this the necessary equipment is to be created, allowing to make scan-ning in the form of various rasters. To improve the quality of the electron beam welding process, trajectories of a classical raster and a truncated raster across the joint are proposed. For these scanning trajectories, analytical expressions and families of calculated characteristics of the electron beam energy density distribution over the heating spot are obtained. Modulation of the electron beam oscillation in the form of a truncated raster across the junction makes it possible to obtain a two-humped distribution of the beam energy on the surface of the part along the heating spot. The obtained characteristics allow a more meaningful approach to optimizing the pro-cess of electron beam welding of various materials.

Flow dynamics in the radial-annular cavity of turbomachines
Статья научная
This paper considers the problem of modeling a rotational flow in the radial-annular cavity of turbo machines with fixed walls. This case corresponds to the boundary conditions of the supply channel for a radial centripetal turbine. In the presented model, the flow is conventionally divided into radial and circumferential movement. The radial component of the velocity is determined by the mass flow rate from the continuity equation, the circumferential component is formed by the tangential channel supply. The main equation in the integration is the equation of the change in the momentum for the flow in the form of the Euler equation. In the case of the circumferential component of the velocity, the angular momentum law is used, assuming the potentiality of the flow and the constancy of the angular momentum within the integration step. As a result of the transformations of the motion equations, differential equations for the radial, circumferential component of velocity and static pressure are obtained, which represent a certain system of three equations in three unknowns. The system of equations allows integration under known boundary conditions at the inlet; as a result of integration, it is possible to obtain the field of distributions of velocities and pressures along the radius of the radial-annular cavity. The results of the study can be used in modeling the circumferential and radial forces on the rotor (impeller) of turbo machines.

The fields of solid-state physics, metallurgy, plastic deformation, mathematics and continuum mechanics are engaged in the studies of texturing of metals and alloys and their influence on the operational properties of products. As a rule, the most significant results are expected at the interface between these sciences. The technologies of obtaining textured materials by metal forming processes occupy a special place in the metalworking sphere. This is due to promising directions in technologies for producing semi-finished and final products with improved structure-sensitive properties, by regulating the texturing, taking into account initial crystallographic orientation of the workpiece. The first issue to note is the formation of an ideal, one-component crystallographic texture in anisotropic metallic materials. The second issue is to obtain semi-finished and final products with more specific service properties: crystallographic texture with specific predetermined components. For instance, due to the crystallographic texture, it is possible to increase the resistance of metals and alloys against corrosion and hostile environment. Considering textured materials as composite, we must note that directionally oriented crystallites with crystallographic directions relative to the laboratory direction perform as reinforced elements. The initial texture in the processing plane is especially important. The materials, which possess unique structure-sensitive properties acquired through pressure treatment, are very promising for a widespread use in the sphere of aerospace technology. Obviously, the properties and means of their achievement are diverse and require setting a specific task. Therefore, further research in this sphere is especially promising. The article presents the research findings, considering the effect of initial crystallographic orientation and deformation modes on the rolling texture in the central layer of Fe – 3% Si (110)[hkl] single crystals. Several groups of single crystal samples underwent rolling under laboratory conditions. The groups of samples were classified according to the final deformation rate, the ideal crystallographic orientation of the rolling plane and deflections of the ideal orientation plane direction from the rolling direction. The methodology of the experiment took into account the compression rate value during one rolling. We analyzed the results of rolling, using the radiographic method. The next step was to superimpose the radiographic data on a stereographic projection and to construct straight pole figures. The results of straight pole figures decoding revealed differences in the texture formation from the previously obtained data. The research shows the manifestation of the one-component deformation texture in the central layer.
