Сontrol of mechanical stresses formed with the deposition of nickel coatings plays an important role in the diagnosis of coatings’ technical condition. Large internal stresses can lead to cracking or flaking of coatings which is completely unacceptable for critical parts and assembly units used, for example, in space technology for which reliability is of paramount importance. ...

One of the significant weaknesses of excimer laser-based vision correction devices is the difficulty of achieving a required change in the refractive properties of the cornea to sharply focus the image on the retina with distance from the working area (ablation zone) center to the periphery due to a change in the laser beam incidence angle. The study is aimed at improving the ...

The permanent magnetic field in addition to electromagnetic radiation has a significant effect on performance of devices. This is particularly true for highly sensitive precision measuring equipment, such as, for example, magnetometers or photomultiplier tubes. In this regard a new high-performance materials for protection against permanent fields and electromagnetic radiation ...

One of the important characteristics of the surface properties of metal parts subjected to friction is hardness. Hardness measurements are important for determining the operational characteristics of parts and monitoring the technological regimes of surface modification. However, hardness measurements of thin modified layers made by different methods can lead to differences in ...

The article exposes description of features of the combined approach application to the evaluation of measurement results uncertainty. The aim of this work is the justification and development of new science-driven approaches to achieve maximum efficacy of measurements on the criteria "accuracy/costs" at the stated level of confidence. It provides theoretical base for correctness ...

Dynamics of heavy lathe tool ta be renovated has been simulated in the paper. Original turning scheme concerns finish-machining of large rotor shafts. High-positioned parts and a milling head may create dynamic problems. For this very reason FEM-simulation has been carried in static, modal and harmonic arrangements. A carrying system for shaft support consists of a bed, a support, ...

There is a class of complex systems characterized by dynamism, multi-link structural elements, multi-stage, multi-linked chain of processes. Moreover, each of these processes occurs under conditions of stochastic and non-stochastic uncertainty in the initial information, internal and external environment, which predetermine the uncertainty of the nature of the development of the ...

The combustion of hydrocarbon fuels in the chambers of heat generating plants is one of the main sources of pollutant emissions. Environmental standards and rules that limit emissions are becoming more stringent and their implementation requires the introduction of advanced technologies and equipment. The main device in combustion systems are blow burners, the design of which ...

The first part of paper deals with the base information about diagnostics of power transformers. In this part are presented differently insulating methods, for example method of recovery voltage method, method of polarization and depolarization currents and chromatographic analysis. The second part of paper deals use of method of frequency domain spectroscopy for oil power ...

Солнечные батареи (СБ) имеют нелинейные вольт-амперные характеристики с характерной точкой максимальной выходной мощности (МВМ), которая зависит от условий окружающей среды, таких как температура и уровень солнечного излучения. Для обеспечения максимальной выходной мощности СБ должны работать в точке МВМ независимо от условий окружающей среды. Эта задача обеспечивается соответствующим ...
