Effect of hygroscopic growth on light scattering by salt aerosols
One of the major uncertainties in the understanding of Earth’s climate system is the interaction between solar radiation and aerosols in the atmosphere. This is due to the fact that the aerosols are the most variable component of the atmosphere. An aspect of this variability is related to the dependence of the optical properties of hygroscopic aerosols on relative humidity. Therefore, the estimation of the aerosol radiative forcing requires the calculation of the scattering coefficients of wet aerosols. This work is dedicated to that problem in the context of inorganic salt particles, with well-studied hygroscopic properties. Calculation of scattering coefficients of polydisperse aerosols are based on Mie theory. A strong dependence of the scattering coefficient of salt particles upon relative humidity was found that confirms the importance of taking into account the hygroscopic growth of aerosols in the atmospheric optics problems.

Influence of dissipative processes on regularities of fracture in aging viscoelastic media.
Operating conditions, which may contain plastics, polymer products and structures, are not always favorable to the stable state of the material. Polymer materials are affected by mechanical (voltage varying intensity), physical (heat, light, radiation), chemical (oxygen, water, etc) factors. Internal physical and chemical processes that occur as a result of these effects lead to a change in the characteristics of the polymers. In total, these processes determine the aging of the material.

Due to massive introduction of polymers and polymer-based composites in engineering, agriculture, medicine, aircraft industry it is the question of forecasting performance of these materials with regard to the aging factors.

There are many examples of the destruction of structural elements after a long period of usage. This process is associated with the accumulation of damage, various defects of micropores, cracks. When the damage reaches a dangerous level - material is destroyed. In its simplest form "damage" can be described by some scalar, which can be interpreted as "continuity".

In this research we consider the damage parameters (continuity) of visco-elastic Maxwell model recorded on the scale of the effective time. Effective time parameter allows us to describe the interrelated deformation and physicochemical processes, which gives a better description of the damage in the aging process. Based on the solutions of the system of Maxwell's interrelated equations and the parameter of damage, the appropriate creep and damage parameter curves are constructed. It is shown that these relations describe qualitatively, and in case of creep - quantitatively, the corresponding experimental curves.

Semi-automatic system for cargo damping.
The aim of this work is to create a semi-automatic system for damping of cargo, suitable for all obsolete load-lifting systems. The damping system is based on the work principle of experienced crane operators. It is required that when the system is stopped, the oscillations are damped within 10-15 seconds, until the residual amplitude of 1-2 degrees.

The control object model was developed to create a damping system based on this model. A damping system was developed to control the crane carriage. Simulation of the work of the synthesized regulator was conducted and its work was evaluated.

Microstructures and mechanical properties of magnesium alloy processed with high-pressure torsion.
The aim of this study is to increase the mechanical and corrosion properties of magnesium alloy Mg-1%Ca, subjected to high-pressure torsion (HPT). As the result of the study, an ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure with an average grain size of 210 ± 9 nm was obtained by HPT. The UFG samples were annealed at different temperatures. The optimal combination of high strength (245 ± 12 MPa) and ductility (4,0± 0,3%) was observed in the samples after HPT and heat treatment of 250oÑ. Coatings were applied to the samples with different average grain size by the method of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) to improve the corrosion resistance. As a result, it was found that the samples without coating are highly susceptible to corrosive wear. PEO coating is beneficial to the corrosion resistance of the material.

Influence of high-pressure torsion on mechanical and fatigue properties of VT6 alloy.
The object of this study is to investigate the effect of sample size on the fatigue and mechanical properties of alloy VT6. Comparison of the stress-strain diagrams shows a satisfactory mechanical properties accordance. Analysis of the obtained Woehler diagrams reveals a coincidence during low-cycle tests. Nevertheless a discrepancy in the high-cycle test was observed. So the endurance limit of the alloy presented by small-size specimens is lower than the standard one. Mechanical test of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy subjected to HPT processing and subsequent annealing is also presented.

Free vibrations of the cylindrical elliptical shell near the generatrix by Timoshenko-Reissner model.
Free vibrations localized in a neighbourhood of the weakest generatrix of the cylindrical elliptical shell are considered. The edges of shell are articulately supported. The equations of free vibration of an isotropic shell can be obtain on the basis of the classical Kirchhoff-Love model. The accuracy of the Kirchhoff-Love equations for a transversely isotropic shell is not enough. The Timoshenko-Reissner model taking into account a transversal shear are used in this study.

Resonance oscillations control in the non-linear mechanical systems
The existence and location of controlled resonance modes which are of practical interest are studied in the work. The subject of research is the simplest mechanical system with two degrees of freedom – a double mathematical pendulum. So-called collinear control is formed. It is kinetic, i. e. taking into account the dynamic structural features. The evolution process of oscillation forms is analyzed during the transition from linear to non-linear field on the basis of this control. Asymptotic formulas are constructed for the analytical description of non-linear oscillations. They adequately reflect the behavior of the system and correlate well with the numerical results.

Investigation of the structure and mechanical properties of titanium alloy VT8M-1 subjected to severe plastic deformation.
The objective of this work is to analyze the formation of ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure and enhancement of the mechanical characteristics of VT8M-1 alloy by severe plastic deformation (SPD).

Microstructural studies have shown that in the course of SPD of the alloy VT8M-1 processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), the fragmentation and globularization of lamellae occur. After 6 ECAP passes a bimodal structure is formed, consisting of globules of the primary α-phase and a fine disperse globular mixture of (α+ β)-phases, with an average particle size of 0.67 microns.

The strength properties of the alloy are significantly increased due to formation of the UFG structure, with a slight decrease of plasticity.

To the question of electrodynamic control of rotational motion of the screened spacecraft around the center of mass on the regressing orbit.
In this work the rotational motion of the spacecraft (SC) around the center of mass, moving on the Earth orbit, is studied. The SC is equipped with the charged screen of electrostatic protection with the controlled charge distribution, as well as with its own controlled magnetic moment. The perturbing influence of the gravitational moment is considered. The secular perturbations of the orbit caused by the second zonal harmonic of the geopotential are taken into account. The octupole approximation of the geomagnetic field is used. The problem of electrodynamic stabilization of rotational motion of the SC in the orbital coordinate system in case of the regressing orbit is solved by means of the Lorentz moment and the moment of magnetic interaction. For the solution of the problem the system of electrodynamic stabilization of the SC is used. Due to noncentrality of the gravitational field, the terms not depending on the orientation of the SC appear in the expression of the gravitational moment. The method of electrodynamic compensation of the permanent perturbing moment is developed and applied to the problem. The efficiency of the proposed technique is shown in a number of numerical experiments.

Study of the microstructure and mechanical properties of titanium Grade 4 after ECAP-Conform.
The aim of this work is to improve the mechanical properties of titanium Grade 4 by forming ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure by the method of ECAP-Conform and generating plasma electrolytic oxide (PEO) coating on its surface.
As a result of severe plastic deformation in ECAP-Conform performed at 200 ° C, the significant increase in the tensile strength and microhardness is observed at the initial stages of the deformation. With further deformation, the tensile s trength increases gradually. After 4 ECAP-C passes, the microhardness reaches the saturation that may be associated with the dynamic return. Titanium PEO results show that depending on the conditions of the electrolytic-plasma processing it is possible to obtain coatings with required characteristics.
Oxide layers synthesized on titanium in the calcium acetate electrolyte are used as coatings on metal implants, which in turn is of great interest for the modern medicine.

The influence of variable diameter of vibrationally excited molecules on the shear viscosity coefficient
The influence of variable diameter of vibrationally excited molecules on the shear viscosity coefficient in the state-to-state approach is studied. Three models for molecular diameters are considered: Kang--Kunc, Morse, and Tietz--Hua. On the basis of these models, diameters of H2, N2, O2, NO, Cl2, HF, I2 molecules for different vibrational--rotational states are calculated. The Kang and Kunc model yields exponential increasing of the molecular diameter for vibrational levels higher than 10, and therefore its use is reasonable only at low temperatures. Tietz--Hua and Morse models provide similar values for diameters. It is shown that contribution of rotational excitation to the diameters of considered molecules can be neglected. For various potentials, temperatures, and both equilibrium and non-equilibrium vibrational distributions the ratio of state-to-state shear viscosity coefficient to that for the molecule in the ground state is calculated. For all cases considered, rising of molecular size with the vibrational state does not affect the viscosity coefficient; the deviation does not exceed 13%. Thus we prove the validity of the assumption that dependence of elastic collision cross section on the vibrational state can be neglected while calculating state-to-state transport coefficients. This gives justification for applying simplified algorithms for simulation of state-specific transport coefficients which reduce considerably computational resources required for the solution of modern non-equilibrium fluid dynamic problems.

Electromagnetic aspects in attitude dynamics of a shielded Earth artificial satellite with respect to the center of masses
We consider a satellite system with three screens of electrostatic protection, made in the form of charged toroidal shells with the outer radii about 100m. As a result of the interaction of the electric charge of screens with Earth's magnetic field (EMF) the moment of Lorentz forces occurs, influencing the rotational motion of the satellite. In view of the large sizes of design of the electrostatic protection, calculation of the moment of Lorentz forces takes into account the difficult form of screens and the heterogeneity of the earth's magnetic field in the volume of screens. It is assumed that the center of charge satellite coincides with its center of mass. As a computational EMF model, “direct magnetic dipole” is adopted. In this paper we investigate the possibility of using the moment of Lorentz forces for passive and semi-passive stabilization satellite equipped with of the electrostatic protection, moving in a circular low Earth equatorial orbit. In this paper the mathematical model was made, describing the dynamics of rotational motion of the satellite, equipped with electrostatic protection system in EMF and built its first integral. Direct equilibrium position (DEP) of the satellite in the orbital coordinate system was found. Sufficient conditions for the stability of the DEP by using the first integral were received. The stability area of DEP was analyzed, depending on the system parameters. For dynamically and electrostatically symmetric satellites stationary regimes of rotation in the orbital coordinate system and sufficient conditions for the stability of these rotations are found.

Mathematical modeling of stress-strain state of the ship decking elements.
This work demonstrates modern methods and means of deflection mode calculations occurring to the ship deck elements, used for container loading. It contains the analysis of the modern methods for deflection mode calculation at ship bars on the phase of projecting and exploitation of the ship. The main software complexes, allowing to carry out such calculations, their advantages and disadvantages are reviewed in the work. In order to achieve the target, a software was worked out. The software is based on the method of the final differences, shown in Carman’s nonlinear differential equation system, the excellence of which is in the simultaneous deflections and tensions identification, appearing in the object. The results of the formed software functioning are pointed in the work. In addition, this results can be presented in graphical form, which is convenient for visual presentation, and in the form of tables with values. Using this method allows to find the values of the stresses and strains at any grid point of the mesh, which makes it not only versatile, but also faster compared to conventional.

Influence of various plastic deformation processes on the properties of bulk metallic glasses
In the last several years, the influence of various plastic deformation processes on the properties of bulk metallic glasses (BMG) has been investigated. The present work is intended to analyze changes in the microhardness of Zr62Cu22Al10Fe5Dy1 BMG after processing by high-pressure torsion (HPT), one of the severe plastic deformation techniques. The deformation was carried out at room temperature and temperature of 150°C using a pressure of 6 GPa and 5 anvil turns. Vickers indentation was used to evaluate the microhardness of the samples in initial state and after HPT-processing. The Vickers microhardness values of the material subjected to HPT technique at room temperature were significantly lower than those of non-deformed material. Nevertheless, HPT processing at 150°C resulted in recovery of microhardness values to the initial values and appearance of shear bands. Observable changes can be explained by the redistribution and evolution of free volume. More detailed studies of internal structure will be conducted to reveal the nature of the observed changes.

Mathematical models of a rotor equipped with a ball self-balancing system
A static unbalanced Jeffcott rotor equipped with a ball self-balancing system is studied. The rotor rotates with constant angular velocity. Supposing the desired rotor and the balancing balls dynamics variables being "slowly" in a coordinate system, which rotates synchronous with the rotor. The two approximate systems of reduced equations are deduced. The numerical computation of the transient modes and the investigation of balanced/unbalanced static modes stability are made. They result in the fact, that using of the reduced equations does not loss the serious computational accuracy by the defined parameter limitations.
