Structure formation and functional properties of thin-gauge tapes made of copper-based alloys obtained by melt spinning
Authors: Letenkov O V
Published: October 2020

The article presents evidence proving that the alloys of the CuZnAl system, unlike the CuAl (Ni, Mn) system, have a smaller contact area with the quenching disk. It is caused by the condensation of Zinc vapors from the melt on its quenching surface. In addition, it is shown that Bronze alloys, in comparison with Brasses, are preferable for obtaining tapes by spinning. The main patterns of changes in critical points and the value of the Shape Memory Effect (εSME), depending on the types of heat treatment are also analyzed in this paper. Exposure of the alloy to the mold setting temperature of T = 800÷850 °C is accompanied by grain growth, increase in critical points, and decrease in the value of Shape Memory Effect. In this regard, the holding time at the mold setting temperature should not exceed t = 3÷5 min.

Authors: Ya Mokritsky B , Sitamov E C , Belyakov V N , Zawadzki I M
Published: October 2020

Growing requirements for physical and mechanical characteristics and operational properties lead to the development of ever new structural materials, the range of which is constantly expanding. This complicates the selection of rational tool materials required for machine processing, which requires considerable time. Currently, there are no regulatory recommendations for such work, so there is a need for a quick and less costly choice. Experimental studies, trial and error methods are not suitable for this. Therefore, it is necessary in a universal way, in the use of a model of the cutting process, which has not yet been developed due to the complexity of the simultaneously occurring processes. The absence of such a model of the cutting process can be temporarily replaced by computer simulation modeling. This work presents such modeling in the Deform software environment as applied to process turning of corrosion-resistant specialized stainless steel.

Authors: Pudov E , Kuzin E , Efremenkov A
Published: October 2020

This paper presents the results of a comprehensive survey of a coal-bearing rock mass conducted by means of a combination of geophysical methods. The task of a comprehensive survey is to establish the relationships between the manifestations of mining and geological processes in the preparatory workings and the parameters of electromagnetic emission and high-frequency radio wave scanning. The estimation of the parameters of unsteady geophysical fields, resulting in the stress-strain state of the rock mass, was carried out using the ANGEL-M complex. The assessment of decompression and the presence of fracturing of rocks around the belt road was performed by the OKO-2 GPR system. Analysis of the results of the examination of underground mine workings using the “ANGEL-M” and “OKO-2” complexes shows a high degree of convergence of the state of the workings and instrument readings. Cave-in places of in the workings are located in high amplitude regions of radio waves. Identification of the development sites prone to geodynamic manifestations will allow to take measures for strengthening the frame support in advance, preventing deformation of the extensible belt conveyor. The implementation of a comprehensive survey will improve the reliability of transport conveyor lines and the safety of mining operations.

Metallization of aluminum alloys with electrodeposition by rubbing
Authors: Tikhonov A A
Published: October 2020

The technology of metallization of duralumin alloy D16 and cast aluminum alloy AL4 with method of electrodeposition by rubbing has been developed, which allows excluding operations of chemical etching and clarification without reducing the adhesion of coatings. In these operations, such high-concentration acids as nitric, sulfuric, hydrofluoric and others can be used. Instead, it is proposed to use cathode-anode processing operations and application of the zinc-nickel-boron nitride alloy in a universal, much more environmentally friendly electrolyte for simultaneous etching and deposition of coatings. A technology for applying a gradient zinc-nickel-boron nitride alloy with electrodeposition by rubbing has been developed. The process of copper plating of aluminum alloys from pyrophosphate electrolytes with electrodeposition by rubbing is studied. Such modes of coating as copper and zinc-nickel-boron nitride ones using anode tools with an area of 1 cm2 and 3.75 cm2 were established.
Dependencies of nonlinear hereditary creep theory for concrete and creep type equations of hardening under plane stress
Authors: Tokmuratov A M , Dujsenbekov B K , Varenik A S , Varenik K A
Published: October 2020

Abstract Concrete creep is of great practical importance and is taken into account in calculation and design of structures. The article discusses various options for describing the theory of creep of concrete, which are divided into three main groups: the theory of an elastic-creeping body (hereditary theory of aging), the theory of elastic heredity (the theory of an visco-elastic body), and the theory of aging. The main advantages and disadvantages of their use are demonstrated depending on various conditions and processes. Collisions in the study of concrete creep are clearly visible when considering expressions for the creep measure, as well as creep and relaxation nuclei. Different scientists propose their own modification of expressions that reflect various features of the material, and which are often very different from each other. The authors of the article obtained the full creep equations of structural materials.

Published: October 2020

The role of innovations as a key factor in public administration development and state functions transformation remains so far insufficiently studied. The research objective is to study social consequences of applying innovative technologies in public administration, while analyzing state functions dynamics as influenced by developing innovations. Main research methods are the universal philosophical method of scientific knowledge; analysis, synthesis, comparative legal and systematic methods. Mainstreaming of innovative technologies in public administration creates conditions for emerging and developing new state functions - ensuring innovative security and overcoming inequalities in information society associated with limited accessibility of innovations for certain population strata. In line with global trends, the implementation of basic state functions is closely linked with the innovative development function and ensuring national innovative security thereby creating conditions for implementing other state functions. That said, account should also be taken of using innovative technologies in public administration poses certain risks to human rights, and therefore, the development of innovations should only be the material basis for achieving the primary goal of the state - ensuring and protecting human rights and freedoms. Our research results demonstrate dynamics and nature of state functions in today’s world with development and implementation of innovations.

Published: October 2020

The paper substantiates the significance of the business analysis of tax solvency as a necessary element of the tax management of service organizations under conditions of increased turbulence of factors and conditions of the business environment caused by the development of digital and information technologies. Instrumental support of business analytical procedures involves the selection of methods and the development of tools - techniques and information support, which together represent a methodological justification (algorithm) for assessing tax solvency. The algorithm includes five stages: assessment of environmental factors and conditions, indicators of the results and effectiveness of economic activity, absolute and relative indicators of the tax burden, key indicators of the level of tax solvency. In order to eliminate contradictions and shortcomings in the existing traditional methods, it is proposed to use the indicative approach, which is implemented in the form of four stages, during which key indicators are determined (16 in total). The advantage of the indication approach is its unique factual analytical capacity, which allows low-cost financial instruments to obtain summarizing information for making managerial decisions of a service that is proactive and to ensure proper tax consistency.

Published: October 2020

The majority of subjects of economic activity of the Russian Federation (including the enterprises of sphere of trade and services) in the conditions of development of digital economy are compelled to use in economic practice the most various tools based on modern information technologies and application of resources of the Internet. As the main reasons for the expansion of the set of digital solutions that are used by modern enterprises, we can call the change in the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation, which predetermines the rules of organization and conduct of commercial operations by economic entities. Modern technologies are also used in the implementation of relations with government agencies (for example, in the framework of relations with the Federal tax service). The state expands the range of interaction with enterprises and organizations through electronic systems at different stages: it can be registration of an economic entity, submission of reporting forms on tax payments in order to implement the fiscal function of the state, request information about the counterparty through electronic systems to minimize the risks of economic activity. In addition to these facts, often modern information technologies and digital products are used by participants of economic relations voluntarily. In this case, their application can be aimed at optimizing business processes, ensuring rapid response to trends in the external environment and customer requests. The transformation of the sphere of trade and services under the influence of the expansion of the range of information technologies is ultimately focused not only on improving the efficiency of economic activities of individual economic entities. The introduction of digital solutions into economic practice qualitatively changes the processes of providing services, ultimately increasing the social efficiency of their economic activities.

Authors: Kobicheva A M , Bryant Ch
Published: October 2020

Currently, one of the main conditions for the modernization of educational activities and the economy as a whole is the innovative activity of higher education institutions. This article analysed the innovative activities of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Peter the Great, during which it was revealed that despite the rather active development of innovative products by the technical departments, the level of commercialization of the developments is extremely low. The main reason for this phenomenon is weak marketing support, which allows both to predict the demand for certain developments from the market before the implementation of innovative projects and to effectively promote the results of already completed work. To solve this problem, we propose to introduce, on the basis of the Engineering and Economic Institute, the Coordination Centre for the Promotion of University Innovations, which is able to ensure continuous interaction of all departments of the university with the goal of effective commercialization of technologies and developments.

Published: October 2020

The study is aimed to identify the way organizational culture contributes to the students’ commitment to the University. In addition, the linkage of organizational identification and commitment is examined. Applying the quantitative methodology to collect the bachelor students’ data the questionnaire was constructed. The questionnaire includes measures for identification by Kreiner and Ashforth, Organizational Culture Instrument (OCAI) based on competitive Values Framework (CVF) by Quinn and Cameron and Porter Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ). After that, the data analysis was provided with conducting of Cronbach-alpha and T-Test, providing descriptive statistics, applying Spearman correlation analysis and performing structure equitation modeling (SEM). By this token, we were able to build the university commitment model. Our findings show that students are getting more committal to the university, if there is an environment with strong Clan culture, emphasizing human relations and cooperation, with which students tend to identify themselves. Additionally, we defined that Market culture type with ideas of competition and Hierarchy type based on the formal procedures predict a decrease in students’ commitment. Moreover, Adhocracy culture as innovation-based is not clearly understood by students. Hence, the discussion and implications are suggested to explain our results.

Authors: Kudryavtseva Regina Elizaveta , Kulik Sergey , Eidemiller Konstantin , Samylovskaya Ekaterina
Published: October 2020

The principal problems of geopolitical and socio-cultural development of the Arctic are analyzed and illustrated with the example of Russia in this study. The authors identified and singled out three of the most acute among them: islamization, digitalization and transformation of the Arctic space in the era of the Fourth industrial revolution and the technological structures’ change. The present study is based on the method of comparative analysis, as well as on axiomatic and empirical definitions, built on the basis of civilization theory, reflecting the problems of technological change, and the theory of innovations diffusion suggested by a Swedish geographer T. Hagerstrand. The current trend is that all issues of Islamic regionalism today are resolved exclusively from the position of force and direct military influence. At the same time, the growth of the Muslim population in the region and the spread of Islamic regionalism ideas make the Arctic and Subarctic region of the Russian Federation a zone of potential development, while the risks of confessional tension are about the same as everywhere else, with the development potential being higher.

Of particular interest is associated with the extraction of natural gas and its delivery to consumers using the advantages of the Northern Sea Route. According to the authors, the expected increase in demand for energy, especially liquefied natural gas (LNG), is a consequence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which requires adequate action on the part of its suppliers. The authors indicate that strengthening Russian positions in the LNG market makes it possible to increase the stability of this global market. This meets the interests of all of its key actors, especially the countries that form the largest demand for this product. The article concludes that, along with increasing Russia’s global competitiveness, this will ensure the sustainability of the world market against the background of the advantages that the Fourth Industrial Revolution brings.

The study defines the program-targeted and project approach to Russian Arctic strategy management to Arctic complex as a large system of tasks and challenges in the unstable and high-risk environment. Characteristic of current conditions (sanctions), preventing Russia from reaching the economy 4.0 level via national projects of digitalization and import substitution are given as well as Russia’s technological partners, including China. It is proposed to define Arctic zone projects: on the targeting basis - as a set of global, regional and national goals and social tasks, and on the content basis - as a set of consulting, technological and infrastructure solutions. Sources of innovation, Arctic trending forecast, a role of Russia as a producer of exclusive goods from scratch (ice-breakers) have been revealed. Also the 22 flagship technological projects in Russian Arctic of 2019, including AI projects, collected by the authors are analyzed as a big system. The illustration of revolutionary technological leap from automation to artificial intellect level through adaptation of the existing military and civil technologies to Russian Arctic’s needs is given. The study shows how important today is not only to be the Arctic experts but Arctic creators and educators with eco-philosophy, based on global collaboration and responsibility for global ecology. Arctic insurance business is forecasted as a new trend. The levels of project subordination and reasons for Russia’s linking to the long-term technological chains without an international labor division have been identified, including the situations when the dependence on imported technologies have been reduced. The methods of creating conditions for technological breakthrough are proposed, including the non-anchor (non-sanctions) approaches.

The paper considers the problems of systematization, analysis and modeling of various network forms of business organization in the form of transnational integrated economic systems operating in difficult Arctic conditions. The formation of a single organization in the form of network interaction of national economic systems allows to reduce the cost of activities, generate a synergistic effect of joint activities and consider the interests of different countries forming such structures. Network organization of activities is an important area of economic development which allows one to take into account climatic, organizational and structural difficulties. It also forms effective interactions of national participants in such an international business network. It coordinates the interests of those strategic zones (Arctic territories), to which the participants of the network organization apply their strategies. Such a network form of organization requires the formation of a structure with special management factors. The classification of network forms of organization of complexly structured economic systems is carried out, flat (linear) networks and spatial networks are determined. The definition of network structures is given, generalized models of network system forms are given.
