German cooperation with the EU and NATO member states in defence strengthening: Northern and Central European dimensions
Authors:   INION RAN, Trunov Philipp
Published: December 2020

The key basis of German foreign policy is positioning itself as an integral part of Euro-Atlantic community. At the beginning of the 2020-s Germany faces a growing number of obstacles at the national (internal policy), regional but also global levels on the path to become the supreme world power. That is why the more active and full-scale participation of the European NATO and EU member states in joint strengthening of defense capabilities is coming to the fore. The goal of the article is to explore the dynamics and intermediate results of German efforts in this field. Attention is paid not only to general, but also to sugregional and bilateral links of German cooperation with partners in military sphere. The article highlights the features of German participation in the launching and development of potential of Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) platform. The paper notes that the number of functional PESCO projects with German participation is more than technical-technological ones. The author faces the fact that the number of new projects initiated by or with the participation of Germany since 2019 has become less than in 2017–2018 but at the same time the general tendency of their development is different. Outside PESCO Berlin pays permanent attention to the strengthening of defense capabilities on bilateral and trilateral bases. The cases of Norway and PESCO demonstrate that Germany is interested in the creation of common military-logistic hubs network in Europe and the growing of armed forces` mobility. This is important for Germany, because its armed forces have been reduced since 1990-s until the 2010-s. The prospects of Berlin`s cooperation with Scandinavian states and Germanspeaking Austria and Switzerland in the military field are also highlighted in the article.

Authors:   INION RAN, Trunov Philipp
Published: December 2020

Since the former Cold War, the Federal Republic of Germany has had the closest, the most full-scale and different in the spectrum of tracks relations in the sphere of common strengthening of the defence capabilities with the continental Western European countries. First, these ones are France and the Netherlands. The article tries to explore German relations with these two countries in the military sphere during the modern period. The key research methods are event-analysis and comparative analysis. The paper covers the experience of the creation of the first bilateral and multilateral military groups of NATO member states` armed forces which consist of staffs and military forces of the mixed troop system. The article notes that first military groups of this kind were created on the territory of the united Germany and examines the reasons of this tendency. Special attention is paid to the development of German-Dutch Corpspotential. This one, the 1 st tank division and the division of rapid reaction forces (each of those divisions has one Dutch brigade) of the Bundeswehr are explored as military mechanisms of deep integration between the two countries. The article also identifies the features of military-technical German-Dutch cooperation, including their common efforts in the frames of Permanent Structured Cooperation platform. The article compares the scales and quality of German-Dutch and German-French cooperation. In this regard the paper rises the question about real military importance of German-French brigade and cooperation between two countries in military-technical field, including the creation of robotized technics. The paper shows the limits of German-French cooperation potential until the early 2020's.

CRIMINOLOGICAL FEATURES OF FINANCIAL OPERATIONS BY THE HAVALA SYSTEM
Authors: Dobaev Igor , Dobaev Andrei , Ignatova Tatiana
Published: December 2020

Based on the study of numerous foreign and domestic sources, the authors of this article determine the essence of financial transactions through the hawala system. It has been revealed that this system is historically determined in nature, it was used, first of all, in the countries of the Near East, Middle East and South Asia in foreign trade operations in the framework of various directions of the so-called Silk Road. This system is also practiced in our days, however, in a slightly modified form, since globalization processes fixed in recent decades throughout the world have influenced its transformation. However, in addition to traditional trading activities, hawala was often used in the criminal activities of various modern organized criminal groups (OCG), including radical Islamists. In this regard, the study of the criminological features of financial transactions through the Hawala system has gained particular relevance. At the same time, the analysis of available sources indicates the insufficient scientific development of this subject. This is especially true of the Russian Federation, which has faced since the beginning of the 90s of XX century with deviations on its territory, including numerous sabotage and terrorist acts, which were often financed through Hawala. As for the domestic law enforcement system, the term “Hawala” itself began to be used only from the middle of the first decade of the new millennium. However, in practice, the situation with countering the financing of terrorism in this area is still not up to par. By the way, in the USA they began to pay attention to this problem only after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, but so far in this country it has not been possible to completely block unwanted financial flows.

Authors: Satyan Urmi
Published: December 2020

Along with Hindi, English is given a status of an official language in India as per the Official Language Act, 1963.(Dept. of Official Language, India). English is studied in India as a Second Language and so English is the most sought after language in India. There are many university students who aspire to obtain a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in English. With a view to make the process of teaching English language interesting as well as enriching, some popular English songs were selected for the class of postgraduate students of English Language. It was realised, during and after the activity, that pop songs can be effectively used in an English Language class. Songs and music have a natural quality to induce interest and enthusiasm to the listeners/learners and so it was aimed to redirect the students’ attention to the linguistic varieties present in the songs. As the songs are easy to memorise, they effortlessly develop English vocabulary of the students. These songs are selected to learn the use of adjectives, figures of speech and idioms. The whole process of learning English Language through popular songs also helped students to improve their listening comprehension. The present paper is an attempt to study how content analysis of the selected pop songs is proved effective and impactful in the postgraduate class of English Language. The songs for the present study are selected from a popular album named Imagined Dragon.
A Rasa Reading of Prayer on a Clear Morning in the Month of Magh
Authors: Lamichhane Yog Raj
Published: December 2020

The study examines how the persona perpetually searches tranquility in the poem entitled “Prayer on a Clear Morning in the Month of Magh” by Laxmi Prasad Devkota. For the study, I have entered into rasa reading to explore the sovereignty of śānta rasa, which is pervasively dominant in the poem. As the nature of śānta rasa, all emotions merge out of śānta and finally in the end, submerge into it. Primarily, the determinant, consequent, and transitory emotions are identified and further analyzed to illustrate how they conjoin. Through the discussion, it appears that any sensitive readers of the poem could identify themselves to the persona’s emotion as one involves in prayer. It stands as the devotion and celebration of the God and nature in the month of Magh; that represents creation and clarity. It happens there suspending ‘I’, surpassing ego, and searching metamorphosis of the lustrous desires, fabric beauty, and worldly pain for overcoming both life and death enjoying the elixir of the Sun and learning the lesson from the God. As a result, the persona believes in the dying down of the worldly dream to achieve delight and disillusionment eliminating shiny lacy veils entrapping humanity. Thus, the poem searches tranquility as a state of pure peace relishing utmost and absolute aesthetic pleasure, sama. Finally, it expands the scope of the Eastern aesthetics, especially unfolding and widening the area of śānta rasa, which is usually overlooked even in the Eastern literature.
Trainee Teachers' Perspectives on Microteaching
Authors: Adhikari Yam Nath
Published: December 2020

Microteaching is one of the most recent innovations in teacher training programme. It is used as a professional developmental tool for pre-service or in-service teacher training courses. Microteaching seems a good technique to train trainee teachers, when he/she has to perform his/her teaching either in practice or real life. The objective of this research was to explore perspective of trainee teachers towards microteaching. The sample size of the study consisted of 40 trainee teachers of B.Ed. from Prithvi Narayan campus, Pokhara. The informants were selected purposively. By taking their consent, I visited the school and distributed the questionnaire, where the student-teachers were practising in practice teaching. A set of close-ended questionnaire was used as the data collection tool. The data were presented in percentage and analyzed and interpreted descriptively. The results reveal that microteaching plays a vital role to improve the trainee teachers’ pedagogical skills, competencies, build self-confidence, make positive attitudes towards teaching life by limited sources and within minimum available facilities, provide valuable teaching experiences, and make them aware of the benefits. Further, microteaching deals with the emerging challenges that will happen in the real teaching career of the trainee teachers. All the respondents put their positive perspectives on microteaching although microteaching is not seriously taken by the practitioners. This study implies that microteaching is necessary for trainee teachers to prepare themselves in a better way for upcoming teaching career.

Published: December 2020

Jejunal diverticulitis is a rare disease with higher prevalence among patients between 60 and 70 years and
slightly more common in men. They are false diverticula located predominantly on the mesenteric side of
the bowel but 10% develop complications which result in major surgery and high overall mortality. Authors
report a case of a 63-year-old patient who presented to our department with small bowel perforation. Patient
was taken to the operating room where he underwent exploratory laparotomy; intra-operatively a perforated
jejunal diverticula with thickened adjacent mesentery and fibrinous debris was found. The surgical option
was segmental enterectomy of 20cm, 15cm apart from the angle of Treitz. Perforation of jejunal diverticula
should be considered in the differential diagnosis in elderly male patients presenting with an acute abdomen
at the emergency department. The diagnosis is challenging and bowel resection with primary anastomosis
is the treatment of choice. Although the disease is extremely rare it is important to be aware of the mortality
rates associated with delay in the diagnosis and intervention.

The problem of increasing the thermodynamic efficiency of power plants can be solved only by using a complex approach using methods based on modern methods of exergy analysis in combination with methods of heat transfer theory, theory of linear systems, structural-variant methods, multi-level optimization methods, etc. The analysis of the possibility of applying the discrete-modular principle and the corresponding complex method for analyzing the efficiency of the exhaust gases heat-recovery exchanger of a cogeneration unit heat engine is performed in the paper. The aim of the work is to analyze the localization of exergy losses, their differentiation, and the establishment of the relative contribution of various types of losses to the general exergy losses in the exhaust gases heat-recovery exchanger of a cogeneration unit heat engine. The structural features of the heat-recovery exchanger and the exergy properties that reflect the essence of exergy methods: universality and additivity, made it possible to use the discrete-modular principle and a complex method based on exergy-dissipative functions for efficiency analysis. The advantage of this method is the ability to analyze the localization of exergy losses in separate modules of the heat-recovery exchanger and to differentiate the exergy losses associated with nonequilibrium heat transfer between the heat-transfer agents and the wall, heat conduction and the movement of heat-transfer agents. Using the chosen complex method, the analysis of the localization of exergy losses in the heat-recovery exchanger was carried out and the exergy-dissipative functions of each of the eight modules of the heat-recovery exchanger were calculated. Differentiation of exergy losses was carried out and the relative contribution of exergy losses associated with the processes of heat transfer from flue gases to the wall, from wall to water, in heat conduction processes, as well as exergy losses associated with the movement of heat-transfer agents, in the general exergy losses was analyzed. To determine the exergy losses due to nonequilibrium heat transfer between the heat-transfer agents and the motion of the heat-transfer agents, the differential exergy equations, the equations for the heat flow densities between the heat-transfer agents and the wall, the equation for the heat flow density due to heat conduction through the wall and the equations of motion are used. It has been established that the localization of maximum exergy losses in all modules of the heat-recovery exchanger is associated with losses due to heat transfer from flue gases to the wall.

Ensuring an increase in crop yields and a reduction in plant morbidity without the use of chemicals is an important task. Currently, many researchers have found a positive effect of a constant magnetic field on crop seeds during pre-sowing treatment, which is manifested in increasing crop yields, reducing plant morbidity, improving biochemical parameters and product quality. The aim of the study was to establish the influence of the magnetic field on the sowing qualities of oat seeds during pre-sowing treatment. Experimental studies of the effect of the magnetic field on the germination energy and seed germination were performed with oat seeds of the Desnyansky variety by the experimental planning method. It has been established that the rate of chemical reactions, ion transport, membrane permeability, seed water absorption and oxygen concentration in cells increase during seed treatment in a magnetic field, which contributes to the improvement of seed sowing qualities. It is established that the change of sowing qualities of seeds during their treatment in a magnetic field depends on the square of magnetic induction, the magnetic field gradient and the seed velocity. The most effective mode of pre-sowing treatment of oat seeds in a magnetic field is a magnetic induction of 0,065 T with fourfold re-magnetization, a magnetic field gradient of 0,57 T/m and a velocity of 0,4 m/s.

Electric power complexes today rightfully belong to the category of complex systems that become integral structural elements of the environment. Any electric power complex created by engineers has to satisfy the corresponding needs of a person, because this is what it is created for. From this point of view, the electric power complex should be considered endowed with appropriate consumer properties, which must show stability during the period of its operation, determined by the reliability indicators, which for the electric power complex must be supplemented by the corresponding safety indicators. It is these indicators that make it possible to conclude about the possibility of manifestation of the electric power complex during the operation of its consumer properties in full and without a threat to people and to the environment, that is, they make it possible to make a decision about the possibility and feasibility of operating this electric power complex. The analysis of the essence of the concept of probability as a tool to overcome the incompleteness and inaccuracy of information about the events under study, along with various concepts (interpretations) of probability from the point of view of their theoretical status and practical application in the problems of calculating the reliability and safety indicators of electric power complexes. Analyzed the classical, statistical and axiomatic concepts of probability, revealed the features of each of these concepts, conditions and reservations regarding their application in engineering practice. Reveals the reasons for the discrepancy between the reliability indicators, calculated at the design stage of devices on the basis of reference data on the failure rate of individual components, indicators that are observed during the operation of these devices, as well as the need to be careful with the processing of observation results in cases where such that differ significantly from the majority. It is noted that the limitations associated with statistical probability can be to a greater or lesser extent leveled by using the concept of hyper-random events, but the widespread implementation of this concept is constrained by the lack of an appropriate experimental database. On the basis of the analysis carried out, urgent tasks are formulated related to increasing the efficiency of calculating the reliability and safety indicators of electric power complexes.

When designing power facilities, the problem usually arises of comparing their possible options for performance, taking into account consumer quality. A common and easy-to-implement method is the formation of a generalized indicator, however, subjectivity is inherent in it, given this, the task of developing algorithms and methods that objectively consider the quality indicators of an energy object becomes especially urgent. It is argued that, in accordance with the condition for making a decision on the type of the synthesizing function, the main object of uncertainty, respectively, of the quality indicator, which is inherently subjective, is the vector of the significance coefficients of the weight coefficients. The presented algorithms in conditions of uncertainty that allow you to build a generalized quality criterion for energy facilities. For a comprehensive assessment of the quality of energy facilities, it is proposed to use the methods of arbitrary summary indicators, namely: the method of arbitrary summary indicators, the method of priority of private quality indicators and the method of minimizing the deviation of the summary quality indicator. It is proposed to reduce the influence of subjective factors in determining the weight coefficients, it is advisable to use a combination of these methods. For the method of minimizing the deviation of the aggregate indicator, using the principle of objectivity, an algorithm for determining the weight coefficients has been developed, taking into account that in the area of permissible changes in parameters, the value of the criterion will be minimal. Accordingly, to solve the problem of comparing the options for constructing energy facilities, which includes the determination of weight coefficients for the formation of a composite indicator, it is necessary to use the results of expert assessment that are supplemented by calculation methods that will reduce the subjective factor that is inherent in the method of expert assessment.

Authors:   The National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Trokhaniak V.
Published: December 2020

Keeping poultry in damp and cold rooms with poor ventilation system reduces the weight gain of the bird, reduces its egg production and increases the incidence of young animals, as well as excessive feed consumption and exceeding the growing period established by technical regulations. The aim of the study was to determine the effective placement of exhaust ventilation equipment at the height of the end wall of the poultry house to improve the ventilation system, reduce stagnant air zones and improve the microclimate. The numerical modeling of hydrodynamics, heat and mass transfer processes during air ventilation in poultry buildings is carried out. The analysis of the conditions of heat and mass transfer in the poultry house, depending on the placement of fans along the height of the house, and the efficiency of the location of such equipment was determined. The system for maintaining the microclimate in poultry houses was considered in the presence of a system for cooling the outside air with water from an underground well. The ventilation system uses exhaust ventilation equipment with a fan wheel diameter of 1.25 m. In the simulation, the fans were installed at a height of 1.125, 1.5 and 1.875 m from the floor to the center of the fan axis. Simulation was performed for 2D CFD models using ANSYS Fluent software. The results of CFD analysis of the air flow pattern and the thermal state inside the house are presented. As a result of numerous studies, the geometry of the location of the ventilation equipment has been found. It is shown that it is advisable to install ventilation equipment at a height of 1.5 m. At the same time, the size of stagnant zones and the uneven distribution of air velocity near the bird are reduced. Numerical modeling was carried out in order to minimize the size of stagnant zones, equalize the air flow and improve the temperature indicators in the poultry house.

The erythrocytes of human blood were sequentially irradiated with a low-intensity laser (λ = 640 nm), a violet LED (λ = 400 nm), a green LED (λ = 540 nm), and a yellow LED (λ = 592 nm). The method of acid (chemical) erythrograms and the method of counter ion transport compared the kinetic characteristics in irradiated and unirradiated blood samples. Received: - by the method of acid erythrograms it was found that in the irradiated blood samples there is a decrease in the time of hemolysis; - low intensity laser radiation, as well as the emission of LEDs, increase the rate of counter ion transport through red blood cells. - a decrease in the time of hemolysis and an increase in the rate of counter ion transport of irradiated blood samples is due to a decrease in the "effective" thickness of the near-membrane diffusion layer - an immiscible layer of water adjoined to the erythrocyte membrane. A decrease in the "effective” thickness of the near-membrane water layer (minimal in the wavelength range of 570-590 nm and 630-640 nm) changes the rate of metabolic processes in the "cell - intercellular medium" system, changing the mode of cell functioning. The altered mode of functioning is a biological response to light radiation. Red blood cells with an altered mode of functioning are signals - stimuli that cause the body to mobilize resources to fight pathology. These circumstances can predict the creation of a universal phototherapeutic equipment for extracorporeal blood irradiation based on light-emitting diodes with certain exposure parameters.

Published: December 2020

The rise in energy prices and the deterioration of the ecological state of the environment, as a result of the growing consumption of fossil fuels, are prompting humanity to use biomass for energy needs. The agricultural complex is the main biomass producing industry. The transition of the heat supply system to a new basis, namely, to the use of biomass energy for the needs of communal and household facilities of farms, requires new methods for calculating the volume of the energy yield of an alternative source of heat supply based on crop waste, will ensure their more rational use. One of the problems for the effective use of an alternative source of heat supply based on crop waste is the development of a methodological approach to determine its volume for the heating season, taking into account the calorific properties. The purpose of the work is the effective use of an alternative source of heat supply based on crop waste by developing a methodological approach to determine the potential of energy harvest from crop waste, their volumes for the heating season, taking into account the calorific properties and the selection of technological equipment. The effective use of an alternative source of heat supply was carried out due to the rational use of the structure of the cultivated areas of the farm and the determination of the volume of fuel for the heating period, taking into account its calorific value according to ISO 1928: 1995 IDT, DSTU ISO 1928: 2006 "Solid mineral fuels. Determination of the highest calorific value by the method of combustion in a calorimetric bomb and the calculation of the net calorific value". According to the research results, one of the promising and relevant directions for the effective use of the potential of an alternative source of heat supply is proposed, namely the combination of the use of straw and gas compressed into bales. The structure of the fields from which you can harvest 2 crops - food and energy - is presented. With the calorific value of straw 10501 kJ/kg and the volume of its combustion 12.130 centners, the heating period is 162 days, which leads to the replacement of natural gas in the amount of 42 thousand m3/year.

Authors: Anggraini Tri
Published: December 2020

There was a bureaucratic problem in implementing public traditional market relocation program in Sekayu, Musi Banyuasin Regency. This problem could be explained through Bureaucratic Specialization concept perspective. Hence, this research examined bureaucratic practice, including the cause and challenge of Bureaucratic Specialization using this market relocation case as the background based on bureaucratic performance analysis. Qualitative approach with descriptive method was used in this research. Data was collected through observation and depth interview method. The result was although Bureaucratic Specialization had not achieved its optimum point, it had already caused bureaucracy performance breakdown. It was indicated by negative symptoms such as slow inefficient convoluted bureaucracy and unclear task division. The research suggested that Musi Banyuasin Regency Government should make a clear distinction among its office’s tasks and responsibilities and support its implementation.

The participation level of the construction-work provider tender within the Ministry of Finance did not reach the target. In 2017, the expected participation index was 5, but it was only 4.5 in reality. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence provider’s decision whether to submit tender or not, in the context of construction work within the Ministry of Finance. This study used a survey method with questionnaire, that previously validated using content validity technique, as the data collection instrument. This study found 10 factors that mostly influence providers whether to submit tender or not, in the context of construction work within the Ministry of Finance, i.e.: the labor/equipment availability, documents completeness, tender requirements compliance, accessibility to project site/location, hazard/security level, construction method, project location, tax liability, project site/site condition, and tender duration. It suggested that if the Ministry of Finance wishes to improve its participation index in the construction work auction, it is necessary to pay more attention to these factors when planning, preparing, and implementing procurement process.

Wabah COVID-19 menyebabkan dunia semakin dalam masuk pada era VUCA. VUCA merupakan singkatan dari volatile, uncertainty, complex dan ambigous. Istilah ini menggambarkan kondisi dunia hari ini yang semakin cepat berubah, bergejolak, tidak pasti, kompleks dan tidak jelas. Istilah VUCA pertama kali digunakan pada dunia militer pada periode 1990-an. Namun, istilah tersebut kemudian diadopsi pada sektor bisnis dan manajemen secara umum (Lawrence, 2013). Pandemi COVID 19 menyebabkan berbagai masalah kesehatan, sosial dan ekonomi yang dapat cepat berubah, tidak terprediksi, tidak pasti, kompleks dan dapat menyebabkan gejolak di masyarakat
Mengungkap Kebijakan Negara Berkinerja Tinggi Dalam Pendidikan

Dalam kurun beberapa waktu, The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) melakukan studi asesmen terhadap kinerja murid berusia 15 tahun dalam matematika, ilmu pengetahuan, dan pemahaman membaca. Studi yang dimulai pada tahun 2000 tersebut dinamai The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Hasil PISA berwujud dalam pemeringkatan performa negara anggota OECD dan non-anggota OECD. Negara yang berada pada peringkat tertinggi merepresentasikan performa dan pemahaman murid yang cukup komprehensif pada bidang mata pelajaran yang diukur. Pada 2018, Indonesia berada pada peringkat 74 dari 79 negara yang diukur. Artinya, siswa Indonesia yang menjadi sampel dalam studi tersebut kurang dapat memahami matematika, sains dan materi bacaan yang diujikan. Ini menjadi sebuah pekerjaan rumah besar bagi pemerintah untuk segera memperbaiki kondisi tersebut. Namun, apakah PISA merupakan ukuran yang cukup komprehensif untuk mengukur kinerja pemerintah sebenarnya? Pembuat kebijakan sering mengutip hasil pemeringkatan PISA tersebut sebagai alat politis dan bahan penyusunan kebijakan. Melalui buku ini, Lucy Crehan penulisnya meninjau PISA secara kritis melalui studi etnografi di lima negara yang berada pada peringkat teratas PISA yakni Finlandia, Jepang, Singapura, Tiongkok, dan Kanada

A rational, theoretically proved and empirically verified control system is a condition for optimal management of the drilling process in compliance with the criteria for minimizing the cost of time and material resources. A new generation of rock-cutting tools using PDC cutters (polycrystalline diamante cutters), which are extremely effective when drilling wells for various purposes in medium-hard rocks, dictates the need to develop methods and criteria for optimal control of the drilling process using this tool.

The paper presents an analysis of the force interaction between rock-cutting elements, face rock, and drilling mud saturated with slam, highlights the influencing factors and provides dependencies for determining the parameters of rock failure. Empirical verification of the theoretical propositions was carried out based on the data analysis from experimental bit drilling of marble with PDC cutters with a diameter of 76.2 mm, processed using the method of full factor experiment to obtain mathematical models of factors and their graphical interpretation.

The method of controlling the drilling process based on the optimal ratio of the tool rotation frequency, axial weight and deepening per one turnover is considered, which allows determining the rock failure mode at the well bottom by indirect signs and choose the optimal values of the drilling mode parameters that correspond to the most optimal conditions in terms of achieving the maximum mechanical drilling speed in conjunction with the rational mode of rock-cutting tool operation. A scheme is presented that contains possible variants of the bit run mode and ways to recognize them by the ratio of the deepening per turnover and the rotation frequency of the rock-cutting tool.
Numerical modeling of a double-walled spherical reservoir

Extensive and important class of multilayer shell structures is three-layer structures. In a three-layer structure, a rigid filler plays an important role, due to which the bearing layers are spaced that gives the layer stack high rigidity and durability with a relatively low weight. By combining the thicknesses of the bearing layers and the filler, the desired properties of a three-layer shell structure can be achieved. Compared with traditional single-walled, three-layer construction has increased rigidity and durability, which allows reducing the thickness and weight of the shells.

In order to reduce the metal content of the spherical reservoir for storing liquefied gases, this work considers the design of a double-walled reservoir, in which the inter-wall space is filled with reinforced polyurethane. Numerical modeling made it possible to determine the parameters of the stress-strain state of the structure with an error of no more than 5 %. It has been established on the example of a reservoir with a volume of 4000 m3 that the spatial structure of the spherical reservoir wall can reduce the metal content up to 19 %. Field of application for the research results is the assessment of the stress-strain state of spherical reservoirs at their designing.

Method for building the structure of a double-walled spherical reservoir in the SCAD software has been developed, which allows calculating the stress-strain state (SSS) by the finite element method.

Numerical model of a double-walled spherical reservoir has been developed. It was found that to obtain calculation results with an error of P ≤ 5 % the size of the final element should not exceed 300×300×δ mm.

Design of a double-walled spherical reservoir was investigated. Design parameters have been established to ensure the operational reliability of the structure with a decrease in metal content in comparison with a single-wall reservoir by 19 %.
