Failure behavior of tantalum electrolytic capacitors under extreme dynamic impact: Mechanical–electrical model and microscale characterization by Xiangyu Han, Da Yu, Cheng Chen, Keren Dai

“…It is found that the leakage current of tantalum capacitors increases sharply under extreme impact, causing functional failure. Considering the piezoresistive effect of the tantalum capacitor dielectric and the changes in the contact area between the dielectric and the negative electrode under pressure, a force–electric simulation model at the microscale is established in COMSOL software. …”

DEVELOPMENT OF THE METHODS FOR RESOURCE REALLOCATION IN CLOUD COMPUTING SYSTEMS by Viacheslav Davydov, Daryna Hrebeniuk

“…The following tasks were solved in the article: development of an complex approach to manage resource reallocation in cloud systems, including decomposition of the cloud computing system into zones (based on the defining features of the resources provided in each zone), initial resource allocation (based on the hierarchy analysis method) and resources reallocation within cloud computing system (based on the developed method); development of a method for computing resources reallocation in cloud computing systems; evaluation of the effectiveness of the developed method. To solve the set tasks, approaches and methods of dynamic load balancing were used, as well as methods of theoretical research, which are based on the scientific provisions of the theory of artificial intelligence, static, functional and system analysis. …”

Development of Calculation Theory for Hinged-Connected Beams on Elastic Base by O. V. Kozunova

“…The paper proposes a universal approach for calculating hinged-connected beams on an elastic foundation, based on the mixed method of structural mechanics, taking into account the Zhemochkin ratios for functions of the elastic medium effects. The following hypotheses and assumptions are taken into account: only normal stresses act on  the  contact  of  the  beam  with the base, hypotheses  of  the bending  theory are valid  for beams,  hinges  between  the beams are cylindrical, and the distribution of contact stresses along the width of the beams is uniform. …”
