Increasing the reliability of control of cast iron structure and its physical and mechanical characteristics is an important scientific and technical task of the machine-building industry. The paper studies the possibilities of controlling the structure of cast irons using structural noise created by ultrasonic scattering on graphite inclusions of different shapes. The subject ...

The present paper describes experiments and research outcomes concerning the construction of cement concrete pavements in South Kazakhstan, taking into account significant climate changes. The study has identified potential problems in the construction of cement concrete pavements in the region, where there was no experience of their construction until the mid-2000s. In order to ...

A setup for broadband measurements of dispersion parameter in optical fibers based on the Mach–Zehnder interferometer is developed. Tm-doped fiber pumped at 1.61 μm was used as a source of broadband emission, that allowed to achieve the measurement spectral range of 1700 to 2000 nm. The method is applicable for comparatively short pieces of optical fiber with lengths of less than ...

Currently, the world is characterized by quite a large number of military conflicts, manmade disasters and natural disasters. Every year, about 50 thousand people die from various natural disasters in the world. The report of the UNISDR notes that natural disasters that occurred in the world between 1998 and 2017 led to the death of 1.3 million people (more than half of them – ...

Inorganic scintillation detectors are widely used to measure of dose rate in the environment due to their high sensitivity to photon radiation. A distinctive feature when using such detectors is the need to take into account of the position of the effective energy release center. This peculiarity is actual when using measuring instruments with inorganic scintillation detectors ...

The most common and reliable material without which modern construction is indispensable is concrete. The deve- lopment of construction production is pushing for new solutions to improve the quality of concrete mix and concrete. The most demanded and significant indicators of a concrete mixture are the compressive strength and mobility of the concrete mixture. Every year, the ...

Diode-pumped thulium lasers emitting in the spectral range near 2 μm are attractive for applications in different areas: surgery, rangefinding, and environmental atmosphere monitoring. In this article the latest results of Tm:KYW laser performance with a polycrystalline Cr:ZnSe as the most available saturable absorber for 2 μm spectral region are presented. A maximum continuous-wave ...

A comparative analysis of polymers reinforced with glass fiber and polymers reinforced with carbon fiber was carried out on a cube and a cylinder in the laboratories of Baghdad. 36 samples were taken with fiber percentages of 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 % by weight of cement. The methodology of this study included the use of composite polymer fibers in the external reinforcement of concrete ...
