Guided Wave Energy Transfer in Composite Sandwich Structures and Application to Defect Detection by Siavash Shoja, Viktor Berbyuk, Anders Boström

“…In order to examine homogenization methods, the homogenized stiffness matrices of the sandwich material and the laminate skin are calculated using classical laminate theory. Results show that core-skin debonding causes absence of wave energy leakage from the skin to the core material in that region in a specific range of frequencies. …”

FINANCING INNOVATION ACTIVITY IN UKRAINE: REALITIES AND PERSPECTIVES by Nataliia Marynenko, Iryna Fedyshyn, Natalia Garmatiy, Iryna Kramar

“…The correlation between the influence of the total amount of expenditures for financing innovation activity of industrial enterprises and gross domestic product of Ukraine in actual prices is calculated and forecasting of these expenditures by applying the theory of Markov chains is carried out. The research on the basis of correlation-regression analysis between the total amount of expenditures for financing innovation activity of industrial enterprises and gross domestic product of Ukraine in actual prices for the period of 2013-2017 made it possible to establish a sufficiently strong correlation between the indicators (the correlation coefficient is 1), which indicates that the positive dynamics of the increase in the total amount of expenditures for financing innovation activity of industrial enterprises will lead to a positive dynamics of Ukraine’s gross domestic product in actual prices. …”
