Calculation of Meteoroids Masses by Approximating the Trajectories

At processing meteor observations the outdated and insufficiently reliable methods are commonly used. In particular, the finding outward-atmospheric meteoroid masses comes from the luminosity without providing any estimates of accuracy for calculations. However, in recent years a variety of new dynamics methods has been developed that quite good describe a motion of meteoroids in atmosphere, as well as changing their parameters. In this article, these methods were used by the author to obtain outwardatmospheric masses of meteoroids from the data of European Fireball Network.

The Stress-strain State of Elastomeric Constructions under Conditions of Abrasive Fatigue Wear

In this paper the mathematical model of the deformation process of elastomeric elements of constructions with regard abrasive fatigue failure has been proposed. Due to the specific properties of material the stiffness matrix of finite element based on the finite element moment scheme for weakly compressible materials. To increase the accuracy of solutions has been envisaged the receipt of expressions for deformations on the base of adding the initial linear approximating polynomial to complete cubic polynomial.

The linear optimal control problem is considered. Duration of the controlled process is fixed. It is necessary to minimize the functional, that characterizes the energy consumption. A method of constructing an approximate solution based on the Galerkin method is proposed. Examples of numerical solutions of the problem are given.

Simulation of Incompressible Nonviscoussevere Fluid on a Regular Grid in Three-dimensional Space

This study focuses on modification of the method of Davydov (large particles) in the case of incompressible liquid. We consider the simulation of a heavy incompressible nonviscous fluid by Davydov's modified method in a three-dimensional case. Besides, comparison of the received results with a two-dimensional case is carried out. Formulas of modified Davydovs's method for the case of three spatial dimensions are lead out including difference analogue of the three-dimensional Poisson equation for the pressure. The criterion of stability is generalized.

About the Specifics of Identification Thermomechanical Characteristics of Functionally Graded Materials

Functionally graded materials are widely used in engineering fields with large thermo-mechanical loads. Efficiency of application of these materials depends on accurate knowledge of the laws of heterogeneity. Earlier, the authors have proposed an approach for the identification of smooth laws of heterogeneity for thermoelastic rod. To do this, were received operator equation linking activities and measurable functions for the solution of inverse problem and carried out computational experiments.

Investigation of Harmonic Waves in the Viscoelastic Layer

The paper deals with the study of harmonic waves in the viscoelastic layer. The properties of the material are described by the constitutive equations in the integral form. The fractional exponential function of Rabotnov is chosen as a kernel of integral operator. Two cases are considered: symmetric stress-strain state (SSS) and asymmetric SSS. The properties of modes which change in time harmonically are investigated for the purpose of studying of the free vibrations. Dispersion equations for both cases are derived. The numerical solutions of dispersion equations are obtained.

On the basis of the closed integrals of the initial and boundary problems for incoherent thermoelastisity of shallow shells the quantitative analysis of influence of the geometrical parameters on the oscillations of constant rotation and cylindrical shells, which are conditioned by the thermal shock to outbound surface of shallow shell are carried out.

The finite deformations of the growing cylinder fabricated of an incompressible elastic material of Mooney–Rivlin type are under consideration. We assume that the deformations are axisymmetric and constant along the cylinder axis. The discrete and continuous types of growing are studied. The analytical solutions of the corresponding boundary-value problems are derived.
