ABSTRACTThe paper presents the results of numerical modeling of thermomechanical stresses and thermal fields for conditions of erosion-resistant electrode coatings of magnetically controlled MEMS switches with W-Ti-Cu structure at local temperature and electric current influence in axially symmetrical approximation. It is shown that the introduction of titan interlayer (30-100 nm) in the coating with W-Ti-Cu structure results in considerable (more than two times) decrease of internal thermomechanical stresses between layers that increases coating resistance to delamination. It is established that there is an optimum value of Ti layer thickness at which the minimum thermomechanical stresses are provided.

ABSTRACTThe paper presents the results of numerical modeling of thermomechanical stresses and thermal fields for conditions of erosion-resistant electrode coatings of vacuum and gas discharge switching devices with W-Ti-Cu and W-Mo-Cu structures at local temperature and electric current influence in axially symmetrical approximation. The efficiency assessment of intermediate layers introduction by comparison of interlaminar mechanical stresses is carried out. It is shown that introduction of titanium interlayer in the coating with W Cu structure results in considerable (more than two times) decrease of internal thermomechanical stresses between layers that increases coating resistance to delamination. The optimum value of interlayer thickness at which the minimum thermomechanical stresses are provided is determined.

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) radio frequency (RF) switches hold great promise in a myriad of commercial, aerospace, and military applications. MEMS switches offer important advantages over current electromechanical and solid state technologies including high linearity, low insertion loss, low power consumption, good isolation, and low cost [1–21]. However, there is little fundamental understanding of the factors determining the performance and reliability of these devices. Our previous work investigated fundamentals of hot-switched direct current (DC) gold (Au) contacts using a modified microadhesion apparatus as a switch simulator [1]. Those experiments were conducted under precisely controlled operating conditions in air at MEMS-scale forces with an emphasis on the role of surface forces and electric current on switch performance, reliability, and durability [1]. Electric current had a profound effect on deformation mechanisms, adhesion, contact resistance (R), and reliability/durability. At low current (1–10 μA), asperity creep and switching induced adhesion were the most important observations, whereas, at high current (1–10 mA), lack of adhesion and switch shorting by nanowire formation were prominent [1].

All kinds of hydrodynamic processes in the overwhelming majority of cases can have adverse consequences from the point of view of ecology and economics.This requires the development of adequate measures to organize the elimination of the consequences of such events. Mathematical modeling of spills has applied importance for the development of technological equipment designed to reduce the impact of consequences of spills and its prevention.

The COVID-19 epidemic has once again demonstrated the importance of predicting the development of various processes and calculating the consequences. “How effective is the introduction of strict quarantine measures?” and “Will the quarantine be able to stop the epide­mic?” — these questions still have no clear answer. This article aims to answer these questions using mathematical modeling tools using the SEIRD model, modified to account for the peculiarities of the spread of COVID-19. The SEIRD model belongs to the class of differential dynamic models, which allows quick experimentation to predict the spread of the disease and calculate its influence on the development of certain processes. Based on numerical modeling, the author demonstrates that insufficient quarantine measures provide only a temporary effect. After they end, with an insufficient level of “population immunity”, the epidemic starts growing again, leading to a second morbidity peak. This paper presents numerical calculations to track the duration impact and quarantine measures’ severity on the dynamics of the epidemiological process. The results show that strict restrictive measures are not always effective, and strict short-term measures have less effect than softer, but long-term measures. In addition, the author provides an example of finding the parameters of quarantine measures that ensure fixed limits on the morbidity level during the epidemic.

In order to study the magnetoelastic instability and natural frequency of a ferromagnetic plate under a magnetic field, different magnetic force models are considered. In the present study, considering more realistic assumptions, new equations for the study of the vibrational behavior of ferromagnetic beam plates carrying the electric current in the magnetic field are presented by employing the theory of Eringen and Maxwell relations. Conclusively, the effects of magnetic traction and thermal fields created by electric current and eddy currents are taken into account. The coupled nonlinear differential equations of the system are separated by the Galerkin method and solved numerically. The numerical results are compared with the results in the literature, and the effect of different parameters on the vibration characteristics of the soft ferromagnetic beam plate is investigated. The results show that the components of the force that are created by magnetic tractions, as well as the assumption of thermal couplings, can significantly change the vibrational behavior of the plates. Also, by increasing the intensity of the electric current and the magnetic field, the amplitude of the oscillations of the plate is increased and instability occurs for certain values of these parameters in the system.
