  • AUTHOR(S): V. P. Dunchev, M. D. Ichkova
  • ABSTRACT: This article reviews finite element (FE) simulations of static mechanical surface treatment (MST) processes for metal components. These static burnishing methods, based on severe plastic deformations of the surface and subsurface layers, improve the surface integrity (SI) of the respective components dramatically and thus their operational properties. The finite element method (FEM) is a basic method used for numerical investigations of MST processes. Although FEM always requires experimental verification and an experiment to establish an adequate material constitutive model, this method saves the researcher significant time and resources. In this article, a comprehensive analysis of the published studies devoted to FE simulations of static MST processes has been conducted. Based on the analysis, five basic conditions have being established in order to build an adequate FE model of the static burnishing process

MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF WORKING PROCESSES IN A LIQUID-MAGNETIC DAMPER

  • TITLE: MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF WORKING PROCESSES IN A LIQUID-MAGNETIC DAMPER
  • AUTHOR(S): I.V. Nochnichenko*, O.S. Haletskyi, D.V. Kostiuk, S.V. Strutynskyi
  • ABSTRACT: A mathematical model of the workflow has been developed, which made it possible to study the influence of design and geometric parameters, and also the influence of the working fluid temperature on the performance of a hybrid liquid-magnetic damper. The combination of an innovative hybrid structure, magnetic field and hydraulic throttling in the damper gives it new properties, however, during development, arises the problem of choosing rational parameters of its elements to ensure a given operating characteristic. To solve the problem posed, we analyzed the physical processes occurring during the operation of the damper and built a mathematical model using a cyclic-modular approach. Based on the results of mathematical modeling, a prototype of a liquid-magnetic damper was made.

  • TITLE: MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF DYNAMIC PROCESSES OF THE TERRESTRIAL ROBOTIC COMPLEX MANIPULATOR
  • AUTHOR(S): S. Strutynskyi, R. Semenchuk
  • ABSTRACT: The calculation scheme, that allow to investigate dynamic processes of the manipulator of the terrestrial robotic complex is offered. The dependences describing dynamics of the manipulator are received. A dynamic model of the manipulator has been developed. This model takes into account the possibility of using controlled damping devices. The obtained results take into account the influence of variable external factors on the dynamic processes of the ground-based robotic complex. The mathematical model of the manipulator can be combined with the existing mathematical model of the chassis. The proposed mathematical model has practical value and can be used in the development of a mechatronic system for stabilizing the position of the manipulator of the terrestrial robotic complex.

INTENSIFICATION OF TRANSFER PHENOMENA IN TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES DUE TO THE USE OF CAVITATION IMPACT

  • TITLE: INTENSIFICATION OF TRANSFER PHENOMENA IN TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES DUE TO THE USE OF CAVITATION IMPACT
  • AUTHOR(S): I. Nochnichenko, O. Jakhno, K.Lugovska
  • ABSTRACT: The article deals with the cavitation process from the perspective of the transfer phenomenon. For the first time, an attempt was made to link two physical processes - cavitation and the transfer phenomenon. As a result, new opportunities open up for the intensification of working processes in cavitation devices and, as a consequence, the possibility of deep control of the operating characteristic of the system. It is shown that taking into account the transfer phenomena and accompanying processes depends on the state of the liquid and is determined by the transfer coefficients (viscosity, density, pressure). The processes in the cavitation apparatus of the hydrodynamic type are experimentally investigated, the mechanism of intensification is proposed, the regularities of mass transfer in liquid media under conditions of hydrodynamic cavitation are studied. The influence of ultrasonic cavitation on the process of electrolysis of a liquid medium has been investigated. The comparison of the obtained results of visualization with experimental dependences is carried out

  • ABSTRACT: The search for technical solutions aimed at improving the reliability of marine steam turbines (including exhaust-driven turbines), which have a part of the expansion process in the two-phase zone (wet steam), is an important issue in the operation of marine power plants. To date, not all practically important tasks of two-phase mechanical environments are fully resolved. Questions of optimization of lattices and shapes of flowing parts of the turbines working on water charged steam remain open. No less important in this regard is the correct choice of parameters and the distribution of heat differences by stages of the turbine. Research work in the field of water charged steam turbines shows the need to develop specific recommendations for the most efficient (in terms of energy loss and erosion wear of the blades) their operation. The purpose of this study is to develop recommendations for the optimal choice of parameters of the stages of steam turbines running on wet steam. The results of the analysis of the influence of the initial steam pressure in the last stages of wet-steam ship turbines allows to avoid unfavorable (in terms of final humidity) operating modes and thus increase their efficiency and erosion reliability. The most economical mode of operation for recycling steam turbines that use low-potential heat of exhaust gases and operate in the field of wet steam with a significant level of humidity is the mode in which the steam pressure at the inlet of the turbine is about 0.7 MPa. An increase of this pressure leads to a significant increase of humidity and, consequently, a decrease in efficiency. Reducing the pressure by less than 0.6 MPa significantly affects the efficiency of the turbine due to the reduction of the available heat transfer, which makes the use of exhaust-driven turbines impractical.
