Robust Stability Conditions for a Family of Linear Discrete-Time Systems Subjected to Uncertainties

Automation and Remote Control - Robust stability conditions are established for a family of linear discrete-time systems subjected to uncertainties. The traditional approach, which involves the...     

The nonisothermal oligomer hardening regime

We have established general quantitative relationships linking the magnitude of the induction period in isothermal and nonisothermal regimes of oligomer hardening for the case in which the nonisothermicity is determined by the kinetics of heat generation in the chemical reaction.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 56, No. 4, pp. 591–595, April, 1989.

Influence of structural factors on the macro- and micromechanisms of fracture of austenitic dispersion-hardening alloys with an interrupted type of decomposition. Report 1

The commercial alloy 36NKhTYu in various structural conditions differing in the type of decomposition, grain size, and degree of dispersion of Y'- and -phase hardening particles was investigated by high-voltage electron microscopy and determination of the mechanical properties in tension in fatigue tests. It was established that in the alloy with the original coarse grain size regardless of the type of structure being formed and the form of loading, fracture is primarily ductile, occurring by a dislocation-shear mechanism. The comparison of structures of different type that was made showed that the structure with interrupted precipitation of -phase has the highest fracture energy requirement as the result of the presence of plastic interlamellar layers, providing effective dissipation of the energy supplied in loading. Deformation and fracture of the fragmented and ultradispersed structures is controlled by collective rotational processes.Translated from Problemy Prochnosti, No. 10, pp. 23–28, October, 1992.     

IR Spectroscopic Study of the Organic Component of Ultrafine Diamond Produced by Detonation Synthesis

IR spectra of ultrafine diamonds produced by different teams of researchers are studied. The effects of heating and radiation on the properties of ultrafine diamonds are studied. Quantitative assumptions on the kinetics of formation of ultrafine diamonds are made from analysis of IR spectra.
