The authors have made an analysis of problems arising in the rolling of continuous-cast billets in the modern mini-metallurgical and rerolling plants. It is shown that the use of trio stands in rolling mills of these plants makes it necessary to obtain billets of multiple lengths from bars (most often of 12-meter length) produced in the rolling shop. The subsequent rolling of such multiple billets has revealed increased cracking of the front edge and, as a result, increased metal consumption. Analysis of the causes of these cracks has been made. It was indicated that this defect can appear as a result of a certain stress-strain state formed at the end of hot-rolled breakdown. It is caused by the presence of an uneven temperature field due to more intensive end cooling, to reduction mode in the trio stand and to the presence of axial defects in the continuous-cast billet. The study was conducted on the industrial medium-grade mill 500/370, as well as using mathematical modeling by finite element method. The influence of a set of technological factors, such as temperature of the billets heating before rolling, the time interval of their transportation on the site “heating furnace – first stand of the rolling mill” and parameters of the macrostructure of axial area of the metal were investigated. Calculations by the developed mathematical model have indicated the need to take into account the presence of a scale layer on the heated continuous-cast billet. It is shown that depending on the heating temperature and transport time, the temperature difference at the billet’s end compared to the heating temperature can be from 45 to 100  °C. It will lead to an uneven distribution of deformation resistance and unfavorable stress-strain state at the billet’s end. In addition, the presence of an axial defect can affect the cracking because of its shape and its transformation during reduction. Obtained experimental data allowed hypothesizing the mechanism of transformation of discontinuity defects into cracks at the billet’s end due to the conditions of continuous casting and cutting of billets during rolling in the reduction stand.

The paper considers the issue of mathematical simulating the stress-strain state of a roll in the course of its heat treatment. It is shown that a sound heat treatment schedule affects significantly the economic efficiency of a metallurgical enterprise. The mathematical apparatus is provided to estimate the thermal interaction in the casting-furnace system, based on which a program for calculating the thermal state of a roll during heat treatment has been developed. Using this program allows evaluating the thermal stresses occurring in a roll during the heat treatment cycle and reducing the risk of discontinuity in the roll cast billet. Also, using the program developed, allows significant reducing the engineer-technologist man-hours for the design of the process cycle of the casting heat treatment. An example of calculating the thermal state of a roll with a diameter of 930 mm in casting is given. The change in the dynamics of the maximum temperature gradient along the product radius is shown, while correlating it with the furnace setting.

The problem of dynamic deformation of a three-layer cylindrical shell under non-stationary loads in the case of rigid clamping of the shell ends is considered. The article presents the results of assessing the stress-strain state of a three-layer cylindrical shell, taking into account its structural feature, the ratio of the sheathing thickness and the physical and mechanical characteristics of a one-piece polymer filler. Calculations were performed by software complex Nastran. The values of displacements and stresses were calculated by the algorithm of direct transient dynamic process. The step duration of the time interval was 0.0000025 s, and the total number of steps was 200. The choice of the type of three-dimensional finite element was due to obtaining more detailed and accurate calculation results. The finite element model included 19000 three-dimensional finite elements and numbered 20800 nodes. The influence of geometrical parameters of shell layers with different physical and mechanical properties of one-piece filler on the stress-strain state under axisymmetric internal impulse load is investigated. Numerical results on the dynamics of the three-layer structure, obtained by the finite element method, allow to characterize the stress-strain state of the three-layer elastic structure of the cylindrical type at any time in the studied time interval. Optimization of the shell design is recommended. Changing the ratio of the thickness of the internal and external shells of the shell significantly affects the stress-strain state of the shell and its performance. Increasing the thickness of the internal layer of the shell significantly contributes to the increase of the latter. Comparison of the given results with materials of other similar researches and positions, testify to objectivity of the made approach.

A stress-strain state and a resize of an axial defect during upsetting have been investigated in the article. Theoretical research based on a FEM has been conducted. The upsetting of cylindrical steel workpieces which had the axial defect equal to 10 % of the workpiece diameter has been simulated. Upsetting has been carried out by flat, concave-conical and convex plates (solid or with hole). The result of the studies showed that the main influence on the workpiece shape had a ratio of dimensions. The maximal closure of the axial defect provides upsetting by concave-conical solid plates. Upsetting by flat plates does not provide the closure of axial defects. Convex plates provide the uniform stress-strain state along the workpiece cross section. The hole in the plates increases the non-uniformity of strain distribution and also does not provide the axial defects closure.

Formulation of the problem. Many structures today require floor structures to meet increased requirements for strength, span coverage and surface quality. Steelcrete structures often fit the bill. However, despite a long history of success, the industry is still not fully understood, in particular, the behavior of this structure in the early stages of construction is not unambiguous. Due to the impossibility of creating a composite section, various effects and a complex stress-strain state immediately arise in the time interval between the combination of different materials in space and the combination of different materials in the work. Thus, the stage of erection of a structure before it became reinforced concrete is of interest for a complete understanding of the mechanics of the work of composite sections. The purpose of the study is to investigate the features of the operation of the steelcrete sections at the stage of installation and operation, as a composite structure that combines the advantages and disadvantages of steel and concrete. As a result of the research, it was found that the study of the stress-strain state, which affects the circumstances, both at the operation stage and at the construction stage, is an important task for further understanding the work of reinforced concrete. , and increasing its durability. In particular, at the time of erection, a complex stress-strain state occurs, which can lead to unpredictable changes in shape. This state is unstable up to the inclusion of the concrete shelf of the reinforced concrete section in the work due to the hardening of concrete in the area of the anchors and its subsequent inclusion in work. These issues require further study in order to better understand the work of concrete and steel as a single composite material at various stages of the life cycle of structures.

The calculation of the stress-strain state (SSS) of the HC of the helicopter was carried out on the basis of the developed structural scheme using the Advanced Simulation module of the Siemens NX 7.5 system. The main zones of probable fatigue failure of tail booms are determined. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) provides a theoretical basis for design decisions.Shown is the effect of the type of technological process selected for the production of the tail boom on the strength of the HB structure. The stability of the characteristics of the PCM tail boom largely depends on the extent to which its design is suitable for the use of mechanized and automated production processes.A method for the manufacture of a helicopter tail boom from PCM by the automated winding method is proposed.
