The Stressed State of a Stiffened Conical Shell with Thermal Protective Coating with Temperature-Dependent Properties

The equations of the mathematical model are solved in terms of special functions. The results for the design scheme of the aircraft forebody are obtained with a guaranteed accuracy by the stable method of functional normalization.     

To a problem of bending an orthotropic cylindrical shell by locally applied radial forces

The solution is constructed based on using the general theory of physically orthotropic shells generalizing the Vlasov equations. The numerical results demonstrating the orthotropy influence on the stress strain state are presented.     

To Calculation of Regenerative Cooling of a Liquid Fuel Rocket Engine Chamber

This paper demonstrates that in transition from the one-dimensional longitudinal-channel motion of the coolant in the regenerative cooling system of the liquid propellant engine to the twodimensional (interchannel) channel motion (transpiration) through a porous mesh material (PMM), the hydraulic losses decrease. Experimental data on PMM hydraulic resistance coefficients and heat transfer in porous paths with the interchannel coolant transpiration (ICCT) is presented.     

Magnetic Field Amplification in Galaxy Clusters and Its Simulation

We review the present theoretical and numerical understanding of magnetic field amplification in cosmic large-scale structure, on length scales of galaxy clusters and beyond. Structure formation drives compression and turbulence, which amplify tiny magnetic seed fields to the microGauss values that are observed in the intracluster medium. This process is intimately connected to the properties of turbulence and the microphysics of the intra-cluster medium. Additional roles are played by merger induced shocks that sweep through the intra-cluster medium and motions induced by sloshing cool cores. The accurate simulation of magnetic field amplification in clusters still poses a serious challenge for simulations of cosmological structure formation. We review the current literature on cosmological simulations that include magnetic fields and outline theoretical as well as numerical challenges.     

The SEVAN Worldwide network of particle detectors: 10 years of operation

The Space Environment Viewing and Analysis Network (SEVAN) aims to improve the fundamental research on particle acceleration in the vicinity of the sun, on space weather effects and on high-energy physics in the atmosphere and lightning initiation. This new type of a particle detector setup simultaneously measures fluxes of most species of secondary cosmic rays, thus being a powerful integrated device for exploration of solar modulation effects and electron acceleration in the thunderstorm atmosphere. The SEVAN modules are operating at the Aragats Space Environmental Center (ASEC) in Armenia, in Croatia, Bulgaria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic (from 2017) and in India. In this paper, we present the most interesting results of the SEVAN network operation during the last decade. We present this review on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the International Heliophysical Year in 2007.     

Application of a discrete-continuous model of strength analysis to solve the identification problem of a thermally loaded structure

This paper proposes to solve the problem of determining the strength properties of materials for thin-walled structural elements under mechanical and thermal loading as an optimization problem. A mathematical statement of the problem under certain assumptions is given.     

Computational analysis of strength,stability, and durability for gas turbine engine exhaust frame

A computational technique, developed for analysis of strength, stability and low-cycle durability of GTE exhaust frame complex structure under operational and emergency loads is described. The presented technique, based on the ANSYS and STAR-CD engineering analysis software, and self-design software can improve the accuracy and efficiency of calculations, and reduce efforts on finite element mesh development, performing calculations and processing of results.     

Analysis of thin-walled stiffened rods using the beam theory

The stress-strain state of thin-walled aircraft structures such as a wing or fuselage made of composite materials is determined based on the beam theory. The laminated skin is orthotropic. The solution was obtained without using the centroidal principal section axes and subdividing the problem in shear and torsion. A calculation variant with skin discretization along the section contour was studied.     

Aerodynamic refinement of turbine cascades

Based on the experimental data, a dependence of the minimal friction losses in cascades was obtained. A turbine stage efficiency gain as a result of cascade improvement over the last three decades of the 20th century was estimated by this dependence.
