CALCULATION OF LOADS ON THE CONTROLS WITH HELICOPTER MAIN ROTOR OF SINGLE-ROTOR DESIGN by B. L. Artamonov, M. M. Kruchinin

“…On the basis of the hinge moments values data loads on rotorcraft rotating ring, arising at different azimuthal location of the rotating main rotor blades are calculated.The calculations executed on the example of Mi-34 helicopter main rotor have shown that average loads in one revolution in the channel of collective pitch control increase in a control path at flying speed. At the same time loads in the channel of longitudinal control make up to 80 % of loads in the channel of collective pitch control, and in the channel oflateral control - to 40 % that will well be coordinated with the provided data of flight tests.…”

Mathematical model of controlled vane hydraulic shock absorber by S. V. Kozeletov, S. V. Saveliev

“…Method of calculation is proposed and theoretical studies are performed on influence of change of volume flow rate of working medium of shock absorber in MR throttle on forces of resistance to rotation on shaft of shock absorber blade.The results of theoretical research. 1) Results of theoretical studies of change of volume flow rate of working medium of controlled hydraulic blade shock absorber are presented. 2) An adequate mathematical model is obtained that is suitable for calculating the characteristics of controlled (adjustable) hydraulic vane shock absorbers, where magnetorheological fluid is used as the working medium of the shock absorber, as well as for selecting control action in the control system. Conclusion. The results of the study are intended for organizations and enterprises engaged in the development and production of heavy high-speed tracked vehicles.The results of the studies can be used to refine the methodology for estimating the smoothness of the heavy high-speed tracked vehicles.…”

An Optimized Path Planning Method for Coastal Ships Based on Improved DDPG and DP by Yiquan Du, Xiuguo Zhang, Zhiying Cao, Shaobo Wang, Jiacheng Liang, Fengge Zhang, Jiawei Tang

“…Firstly, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is used to improve the network structure of DDPG, which uses the historical state information to approximate the current environmental state information, so that the predicted action is more accurate. On the other hand, the traditional reward function of DDPG may lead to low learning efficiency and convergence speed of the model. …”

Numerical simulation of respirable dust transport law in fully mechanized excavation face by Jianguo WANG, Bolan WANG, Min HAN

“…When the air flow field is far away from the tunneling surface and without the obstruction of the tunneling machine, the airflow field diffuses and the wind speed decreases, but a large number of particles still float in the roadway for a long time and are difficult to settle due to the small particle size of the exhaled dust.…”

Effect of Adsorption of Metal Elements Ni and V on the Structure of Humin by Yin YU, Peng XIA, Yi ZHONG, Shitan NING, Ke WANG, Jianping CHENG

“…The dried samples (numbered as HM-Ni and HM-V) and the original humin sample (numbered HM) are analyzed by element analyzer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance carbon spectroscopy (13C-NMR).RESULTSThe results show that the elemental composition of humin is mainly C and O. After the action of Ni and V metal solutions, the relative contents of O and S elements in humin decrease, and the relative contents of C and N elements increase. …”
