A description of a laboratory experimental and measuring complex is given, including a linear aquatic environment in the form of an extended cylindrical reservoir (hydro wave) and an experimental pool equipped with a system for generating test hydroacoustic signals, a set of electroacoustic and acoustoelectric transducers, and a system for amplifying and digitizing received signals. The results of experimental studies of hydroacoustic piezoelectric sensors and the features of the propagation of the waves generated by them in the described laboratory complex are presented. These results include: an assessment of the sensitivity of sensors, an assessment of the frequency characteristics of sensors, a study of the frequency response of a system of two sensors fixed at the ends of a horizontal hydro-wave guide, a comparison of the results of measurements of the frequency response of sensors in a pipe and a pool, a comparison of signal pulling over time in a pipe and a pool, a study of operation sensors in sonar mode. The most significant results illustrating the behavior of hydroacoustic signals and the potential of the measuring complex are the established possibilities for determining the resonance features of electroacoustic transducers and the detail of the characteristics of the reflection of acoustic signals from objects in an aquatic environment. The main investigated characteristics of hydroacoustic sensors are the sensitivity and frequency characteristics of the investigated sensors, the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the system from the transmitting and receiving transducers, and the features of the transducers' operation in the sonar mode. According to the research results, the characteristics of the sensitivity of the sensors and the assessment of the spread of the sensitivity indicators for representatives of the same type of different parties were obtained. The study of the frequency characteristics of the sensors was focused on the study of the dependence of the module and the phase of the sensor resistance on the frequency and on the determination of the resonance characteristics of the sensors. The presence of resonances (resistance minima) and antiresonances (resistance maxima) in several frequency regions was established. When examining the transducers in sonar mode, a glare structure of echo signals from the components of a complex object (a sphere suspended by a thread), separated by time intervals of 12.3 microseconds, was clearly observed. The delay of the signal reflected from the filament in relation to the signal reflected from the front wall of the sphere is due to the distance by two radii of the sphere, covered by the signal reflected from the filament. Carrying out research in two experimental situations (linear hydro wave and experimental pool) allows assessing the degree of adequacy of the results obtained in the sense of comparing similar experiments in different conditions.

Abstract The paper presents the validation procedure of the model used in the analysis of the composite blade for the rotor of the ILX-27 rotorcraft, designed and manufactured in the Institute of Aviation, by means of numerical analyses and tests of composite elements. Numerical analysis using finite element method and experimental studies of three research objects made of basic materials comprising the blade structure – carbon-epoxy laminate, glass-epoxy composite made of roving and foam filler – were carried out. The elements were in the form of four-point bent beams, and for comparison of the results the deflection arrow values in the middle of the beam and axial deformations on the upper and lower surfaces were selected. The procedure allowed to adjust the discrete model to real objects and to verify and correct the material data used in the strength analysis of the designed blade.

The article is devoted to the problem of the reduction of tubers mechanical damages while providing qualitative indicators of the potato heap separation process. Theoretical and experimental dependences of the influence of design and kinematic parameters of the machine operation on the quality performance are obtained. Within the field of experimental studies, a field installation was made to investigate the potato harvester as a whole on the efficiency of separation, the degree of damage, the magnitude of losses and the total capacity for aggregation. Comparison of the results of theoretical and experimental studies showed that the developed mathematical model of the process of separation of potato heap is adequate.

We identified a set of methods for solving risk assessment problems by forecasting an incident of complex object security based on incident monitoring. The solving problem approach includes the following steps: building and training a classification model using the C4.5 algorithm, a decision tree creation, risk assessment system development, and incident prediction. The last system is a predicative self-configuring neural system that includes a SCNN (self-configuring neural network), an RNN (recurrent neural network), and a predicative model that allows for determining the risk and forecasting the probability of an incident for an object. We proposed and developed: a mathematical model of a neural system; a SCNN architecture, where, for the first time, the fundamental problem of teaching a perceptron SCNN was solved without a teacher by adapting thresholds of activation functions of RNN neurons and a special learning algorithm; and a predicative model that includes a fuzzy output system with a membership function of current incidents of the considered object, which belongs to three fuzzy sets, namely “low risk”, “medium risk”, and “high risk”. For the first time, we gave the definition of the base class of an object’s prediction and SCNN, and the fundamental problem of teaching a perceptron SCNN was solved without a teacher. We propose an approach to neural system implementation for multiple incidents of complex object security. The results of experimental studies of the forecasting error at the level of 2.41% were obtained.

The information-measuring complex designed to register high-frequency fluctuations of the space-time metric and its main elements are described in paper. The complex is based on a Fabry-Perot interferometer with highly reflective mirrors and a two-meter resonator. A solid-state Nd: YAG laser with a wavelength λ = 1064 nm is used for pumping. To read the signal, an InGaAs receiver DET10N2, with a working spectral range of 500-1700 nm and an active region of 0.8 mm2, is applied. Using the developed complex, experimental studies of signal registration at readout frequencies of 1 MHz and 20 MHz were carried out. The graphs of signal fluctuations in time and the spectra constructed from them are given.

Experimental studies of heat transfer to air with superposed forced and free convection were reported in a previous paper [1]. In studies reported in this paper, the same experimental system was employed, but a complication was added in the form of acoustic vibrations in the flow field. By comparison of the results with and without acoustic vibrations under conditions which were otherwise the same, an effort has been made to determine the effect of acoustic vibrations on heat transfer. The Nusselt modulus, based on the log mean temperature difference, ranged from 17.2 to 50.6; the Graetz modulus, based on the bulk or average temperature of the air, ranged from 40.2 to 1633; and the Grashof-Prandtl D/L modulus, based on properties of air at the wall temperature, ranged from 0.967 × 105 to 1.26 × 106. The results indicated that sound pressure levels below approximately 118 decibels had little effect on the heat-transfer coefficient. Below 118 decibels free convection forces were evident. Above 118 decibels free convection forces were apparently negligible and the effect of sound appeared to be considerable.

This article presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies on the processes of destruction ore in wet self-grinding mills under the influence of the aquatic environment on it. The equivalent circuit for determining the stress-strain state of a large piece (ball) exposed to the load at an angle of repose of the material in motion are justified. A uniformly distributed pressure acts on the body of arbitrary shape, depending on the hydrostatic pressure of the pulp inside the drum and the force of hydrodynamic resistance). It is assumed that a large piece has the shape of a sphere with a uniform structure, but in some of its parts there are cavities filled with an incompressible fluid. Under the action of these forces inside the cavity wedging effects of water occur, the effect of which on the strength ores depends on the expansion force and the angle of the micro crack. The experimental researches are done under laboratory and industrial conditions. It was established that the disintegration of kimberlitic ore in MMC is significantly influenced by the characteristics of the aquatic environment pH and Eh, the values of which vary from 3.2 to 7.0 and from -500 to +1020 mV.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is evaluate to what extent consumers can recognise a scent within a context that is congruent either with the product or with the user, respectively, objects’ quality or subjects’ involvement. Design/methodology/approach This paper consists of two experimental studies. The first study assesses people’s capacity to recognise three scents: leather, synthetic leather, and fabric. The second study assesses the way in which a frame of reference (quality or involvement) affects people’s capacity for scent recognition (leather and fabric). Findings Results confirm the difficulty of scent recognition revealing, in the first study, a low level of consistency in subjects’ responses. The second study shows an interaction between the type of scent and consumers’ framework: subjects who are primed to think about product quality present more accurate scent recognition when they smell leather, whereas subjects who are primed to think about themselves present more accurate scent recognition when they smell fabric. Practical implications These results can be used in brand communication. A scent, such as that of leather, should highlight quality attributes in its communication. If the product is unscented, communication should highlight the subject who uses the product. Originality/value Previous studies show the importance of the consistency between scent and product marketing strategies. This study complements these findings by differentiating the context where a scent is presented considering either the product (the object’s quality attributes) or the individual who uses that product (subject’s involvement).

The fault diagnosis of hydro-turbine governing system is important to the operation of the hydropower station and the stability of the power grid. In order to improve the diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, a novel fault diagnosis method based on nonlinear output frequency response functions and a novel identification method of nonlinear output frequency response functions have been proposed and applied to the problem of hydro-turbine governing system fault diagnostics. First, the nonlinear model of hydro-turbine governing system is built. And the fault diagnosis principles based on nonlinear output frequency response functions are also introduced. Then, the disadvantages of the traditional identification method are discussed, and a novel identification method is proposed for nonlinear output frequency response functions according to the operation characteristic of hydro-turbine governing system. Finally, simulation verification and experimental studies have been presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed fault diagnosis method. The results indicate that the proposed method is simple and practical for fault diagnosis of hydro-turbine governing system.
