Authors: Sidorenko M. I.
Published: July 2018

The technology of plastic forming of wide flanges in tube billets with the predicted length of the transitional toroidal section between the outer plane of the flange and the internal cavity of the pipe is proposed. The procedure for calculating the length of this section is given. In order to eliminate the toroidal portion in the flange formed during the flanging of the pipe, it is proposed to perform its plastic shaping by depositing the cylindrical part of the workpiece. Equations for calculating the extent of the free surface on the toroidal part of the workpiece when it is shaped, depending on the coefficient of contact friction and the presence of a radial support of the flange are obtained. The variant of forming in the flange the toroidal section in the stamp with the compensation cavity is proposed. Equations for calculating the deformation force and the extent of the free surface are given.

Published: July 2018

The mechanism of the formation of veinings on cast iron castings whose cores are made of a cold-hardening mixture is studied. It is shown that the cause of the formation of the veinings are the stresses in the surface layer of the core that arise when a-quartz is converted to a-tridymite. The possibility of reducing the number and size of veinings due to the selection of the composition of paints and the thickness of their layer on the surface of the rods was tested.

Published: July 2018

The coatings based on silicides of various metals are widely used in various industries by vacuum-plasma processes for products treatment. The quality of such coatings is determined by the degree of chemical purity of the target cathode, the correct choice of a mixture of process gases and the level of accelerating potential supplied to the substrate. Traditional methods for producing multi-component targets have a number of disadvantages, such as: high residual porosity, excess content of impurities, as well as the need for expensive equipment.

The use of casting technologies in the production of target cathodes is promising. The paper presents the generalized results of experimental studies of manufacturing target cathodes for vacuum ion-plasma sources by methods of reduction and high-speed induction melting. Silicides of titanium, copper and nickel were used as the material.

Authors: Polyakov A. V. , Prokopenkova T. D.
Published: July 2018

Providing quality and reliable operation as well as temperature monitoring of modern systems are directly related on the use of innovative fiber optic technology based on the concept of so-called distributed and quasi-distributed sensors having large linear dimensions, in which the optical fiber is both sensor and data channel. Existing fiber optic sensors based on stimulated Raman scattering and stimulated Brillouin scattering have relatively high measurement error, long and complicated measurement method, high cost. The purpose of this paper was to develop an automated quasi-distributed fiber optic recirculating temperature measurement system using wavelength division multiplexing technology. Measurement method based on the registration arising due to temperature changes of the frequency of single optical pulses recirculating at adjacent wavelengths. Thus there is a periodic signal restoration on waveform, amplitude and duration. The sensing element is a segment of a multimode silica fiber coated with metal, separated spectrally selective elements, which are mainly offered to use dichroic mirrors. With the help of the developed mathematical model that takes into account the temperature dependence of the coefficient of linear expansion and Young’s modulus of the fiber, the spectral and temperature dependence of the refractive index, the chemical composition of the fibers, the type of metal coating system response function was calculated, which allows to evaluate the sensitivity and measurement accuracy. These studies determined: number of measuring sections (8), the maximal measured temperature (500 °C), the sensitivity (3,28 Hz/°C), the measurement error (±0,2 °C), and the optimum beginning time measurement after starting circulation (15 min), and counting time of the frequency meter (1 s). Carried out estimations have shown that the proposed measuring system can outperform existing analogues on set specifications.

Published: July 2018

The most promising for mass use in gas analysis equipment are semiconductor gas sensors due to their high reliability, easy operation and relatively low cost. Power consumption in the single-sensor mode, constant heating is from 250 to 600 W average and in pulsed mode heating – ≤ 20 W. The aim of this work was to study the effectiveness of the pulsed heating for multisensor microsystems consisting of two sensors on the substrate of the nanostructured aluminum oxide, compared with the mode of constant heating.

For sensitive layers were chosen compositions: SnO2+Pt+Pd at the first sensor of the microsystem and In2O3+Al2O3+Pt on the second. Measuring the sensor response in the pulse heating mode was carried out as follows. Power on each sensor microsystem was installed 1.3 mW. Then the short-term heating (theat.. = 5 s) was performed at the power 61 mW. The detected gases CO and NO2 with the concentration 200 ppm and 4 ppm, correspondingly, were submitted to the microsystem after 15 minutes. The resistance values for each of the sensor were fixed. According to the results determine the sensitivity (sensor response) the maximum value is after 60 s for the sensor with a sensing layer SnO2+Pt+Pd when exposed to CO was 670 %, and for the sensor with In2O3+Al2O3+Pt – 380 %.

Advantages of using pulsed heating from the point of view of a power consumption multisensor microsystem mW-range and high performance sensors on substrates of nanostructured alumina were established.

Published: July 2018

The last decades development of applied calculation methods of nuclear reactor thermal and hydraulic processes are marked by the rapid growth of the High Performance Computing (HPC), which contribute to the active introduction of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The use of such programs to justify technical and economic parameters and especially the safety of nuclear reactors requires comprehensive verification of mathematical models and CFD programs. The aim of the work was the development and adaptation of a measuring system having the characteristics necessary for its application in the verification test (experimental) facility. It’s main objective is to study the processes of coolant flow mixing with different physical properties (for example, the concentration of dissolved impurities) inside a large-scale reactor model. The basic method used for registration of the spatial concentration field in the mixing area is the method of spatial conductometry. I

n the course of the work, a measurement complex, including spatial conductometric sensors, a system of secondary converters and software, was created. Methods of calibration and normalization of measurement results are developed. Averaged concentration fields, nonstationary realizations of the measured local conductivity were obtained during the first experimental series, spectral and statistical analysis of the realizations were carried out.

The acquired data are compared with pretest CFD-calculations performed in the ANSYS CFX program. A joint analysis of the obtained results made it possible to identify the main regularities of the process under study, and to demonstrate the capabilities of the designed measuring system to receive the experimental data of the «CFD-quality» required for verification.

The carried out adaptation of spatial sensors allows to conduct a more extensive program of experimental tests, on the basis of which a databank and necessary generalizations will be created. The received information allows to answer a number of questions related to scaling up the results of CFD calculations at the fullscale parameters of pressurized nuclear reactors.

Published: July 2018

The field of high-energy gamma-ray for the calibration of radiation protection devices can be obtained by capturing thermal neutrons from titanium target (to 7 MeV) and nickel target (to 10 MeV). The aim of this work was to determine the metrological characteristics of capture gamma-ray fields from titanium target and nickel target obtained at the AT140 Neutron Calibration Facility to provide dosimetry up to 10 MeV.

We have chosen energy intervals in which we can calibrate dosimetry devices taking into account the accompanying generation of gamma-ray neutrons by the fast neutron source 238PuBe, the capture radiation of collimator materials and capture radiation from targets.

We measured air kerma rate with the aid of the reference AT5350 dosimeter with the ionization chamber TM32002. Using the Monte-Carlo simulation, we obtained the energy distribution of the air kerma rate for targets. We determined the geometric dimensions of the uniform field and the interval of operating distances of the facility.

We investigated the metrological characteristics of capture gamma-ray fields from titanium target and nickel target obtained at the AT140 Neutron Calibration Facility for dosimetric radiation protection devices. We showed that in such fields it is possible to calibrate dosimetry devices in the extended energy range up to 10 MeV.
DETERMINATION OF THE THICKNESS OF THE COMPONENTS OF A DOUBLE-LAYER NICKEL-CHROMIUM COATING BY MAGNETIC PONDEROMOTIVE METHOD WITH UNILATERAL ACCESS TO THE CONTROLLED SURFACE
Authors: Gnutenko Y. V. , Rudnitsky V. A.
Published: July 2018

The application of thick-layer nickel (up to 700 μm) and chromium (up to 200 μm) coatings has been widely used to give the combustion chamber of a liquid-propellant rocket engine the required operational properties. The main parameter that determines the ability of a coating to fulfill its function is its thickness and uniformity of its distribution. The main problem of current nondestructive methods for determining the thickness of coatings under consideration is that they can be used only at the stage of production of rocket engineering products, when there is an access to the product from the side of the inner wall of the combustion chamber before and after applying a chromium coating to the nickel sublayer. However, when an already finished product arrives at subsequent stages of assembly to another enterprise, there is often a need of incoming control of the thicknesses of coatings from nickel and chromium. In this case, it is not possible to apply existing control techniques to a finished product, or the use of these techniques leads to unacceptable errors in the results of measurements. The goal of the research was to develop a technique for nondestructive determination of the thickness of each component of the two-layer nickel-chromium coating by the magnetic ponderomotive method under conditions of unilateral access to the finished product from the side of the chromium coating.

A new technique for nondestructive determination of the thicknesses of nickel and chromium coatings of the double-layer structure on a finished product without a priori data on the properties or thicknesses of these coatings or a product in general is proposed using a magnetic ponderomotive method.

This newly developed technique is implemented in the thickness gauge TEP-XN1 of double-layer nickel- chromium coatings, which is successfully used by enterprises of the rocket and space industry of the Russian Federation.

At present for analysis of the homogeneity of materials properties are becoming widely used various modifications of a scanning Kelvin probe. These methods allow mapping the spatial distribution of the electrostatic potential.

Authors: Timofeev A. M.
Published: July 2018

When transferring data over optical fiber communication channels, it is required to provide data security and the authenticity of their source. To limit the access to the data for a third party, there can be applied quantum-cryptographical systems which are supposed to transfer every data bit by means of low power optical signals containing radiation photons the number of which could be in the range from 10 to 1, however, are far from being perfect and suffer from shortcomings, the main of which being a large number of errors due to the depolarization effect of optical radiation. The aim of this work was, therefore, to create device for sending and receiving confidential data which could provide complete security of transferred data, inherent to quantum-cryptographical communication systems at the same time could have a low number of such errors.

A device for quantum-cryptographic communication system with a photon counter applied as a receiving module has been proposed. The possibility to use silicon avalanche photodetectors operating in the photon counting mode for confidential information transmission systems and defining authenticity of the source of transmitted information has been shown.

I develop modern optical fiber communication system incorporating avalanche photodetector photon counter as a receiving module, that allow to detect unauthorized access to information and violation of its integrity and speed up the exchange of information in comparison with well-known quantum-cryptographical communication systems.

Periodic radiation monitoring of soils today is a priority task not only for Belarus, but also for Japan, suffered by Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. Use of portable and light spectrometers with ability to perform in situ measurements makes it possible to quickly estimate specific activity of measured radionuclides with required accuracy in particular soil site. Basic information of a gamma radiation source (radionuclides content, effective radius of measurement area and thickness of contaminated layer) can be obtained directly during measurement. The purpose of this research is to test the feasibility of using algorithms for determination of specific activity and thickness of contaminated layer under conditions of soil measurement with variable density parameters and radiocesium distribution in soil.

Monte-Carlo simulating allowed to estimate the degree of deviation of the shape of simulated spectra obtained with the use of Monte-Carlo soil model with uniformly distributed radionuclide in it, and for the case when the radionuclide distribution by soil profile can be described by an exponential function. For these cases of natural distribution of radiocesium, the pulse-amplitude spectrum is formed by an effective thickness of the contaminated site, which contains more than 90 % of radionuclides.

The developed Monte-Carlo model of a probe and contaminated soil site allows to estimate the effect of the variability of soil density on the total count rate of the pulse-amplitude spectrum. As a result of theoretical estimations, the relationship between the effective radius of contaminated site is determined as a function of soil density.

Analysis of the influence of radial zones of the cylindrical gamma source on in situ gamma-spectrometer showed that the main contribution to the total count rate of the pulse-amplitude spectrum is made by the radial zone with radius of up to 40 cm from the center of the probe, regardless of the thickness of the contaminated layer in geometry «Probe is located on the soil surface». A small site facilitates the selection of measurement area of land with a sufficiently flat surface, which is desirable during surveying the territories, especially with complex terrain.

Published: July 2018

The study of semiconductor materials and devices containing a narrow layer of impurity atoms and/or intrinsic point defects of the crystal lattice is of fundamental and practical interest. The aim of the study is to calculate the electric parameters of a symmetric silicon diode, in the flat p–n-junction of which a δ-layer of point triple-charged t-defects is formed. Such a diode is called p–t–n-diode, similarly to p–i–n-diode.

Each t-defect can be in one of the three charge states (−1, 0, and +1; in the units of the elementary charge). It is assumed that at room temperature all hydrogen-like acceptors in p-region and hydrogen-like donors in n-region are ionized. It was assumed that the cross-section for v-band hole capture on t-defects is greater than the cross-section for c-band electron capture on t-defects.

The system of stationary nonlinear differential equations, which describe in the drift-diffusion approximation a migration of electrons and holes in semiconductors, is solved numerically. The static capacityvoltage and current-voltage characteristics of the silicon diode with nondegenerate regions of pand n-type of electrical conductivity are calculated for forward and reverse electric bias voltage.

It is shown by calculation that in the p–t–n-diode containing the δ-layer of t-defects, at the forward bias a region of current density stabilization occurs. At the reverse bias the current density in such a diode is much greater than the one in a p–n-diode without t-defects. With the reverse bias the capacitance of the p–t–n-diode, in contrast to the p–n-diode, increases at first and then decreases.
EQUILIBRIUM CONDITION OF RESIDUAL EDGE WEDGE-TYPE NANOTWIN IN POST-DEFORMED SOLID BODY
Authors: Vasilevich Yu. V. , Ostrikov O. M.
Published: July 2018

An equilibrium condition of residual edge wedge-type nanotwin in a deformed solid body has been derived in the paper. The condition conclusion is based on the necessity to ensure an equilibrium of force balance acting on every twinning dislocation from the side of the rest twin dislocations. In this case dislocation structure and stress condition at nanotwin mouth have not been taken into account. Results of dislocation theory obtained in the framework of elasticity theory and continuum mechanics have been used in the paper. The paper has considered a component of the resultant force acting in a twinning plane under an assumption that there is no motion of twinning dislocations in the direction which is perpendicular to the twinning plane. The following condition has been made in the model: a discrete distribution of twinning dislocations at twin boundaries. In order to reduce cumbersome calculations a limited number of twinning dislocations has been considered in the paper and an assumption has been made about small value of a helical component in the Burgers vector, in other words the paper has considered an edge nanotwin. In order to decrease a number of equations in the system of equilibrium conditions a symmetric property of a shear component in a stress tensor has been used in the paper. The paper contains description how restrictions on the order of twinning dislocation arrangement on twin boundaries have been imposed. In this case it has been assumed that an arrangement of twinning dislocation pairs in different twin boundaries is in one plane which is perpendicular to the twinning plane. It is necessary to keep in mind that only one twinning dislocation can be located in one twinning plane. Calculations have shown that it is possible to ensure a stable and unstable equilibrium of an edge nanotwin in an ideal unloaded crystal. Sustainable balance is provided by alignment of twinning dislocations in a wall. This leads to a twin disappearance due to annihilation of twin boundary dislocations with its dislocations at the mouth. In order to ensure an unstable equilibrium of a wedge edge nanotwin it is necessary that the distance between twinning dislocations along the length of the twin is equal to interplanar distance.

Development of nanotechnologies allows to solve a number of problems of construction materials science: increase in strength, durability, abrasion and corrosion resistance that determines operational reliability of building constructions. Generally it is achieved due to nanoparticles that modify the structure and properties of the existing materials or products and are entered into their volume or on a surface layer. It’s theoretically and experimentally proved that the modified water has the bigger activity owing to the change of the ionic composition influencing the рН size and other parameters. As nanoparticles have a high level of surface energy, they show the increased tendency to agglomeration, meanwhile the size of agglomerates can reach several micrometers. In this regard an urgent task is to equally distribute and disaggregate the nanoparticles in the volume of tempering water. The experiments on studying of influence of the nanoparticles of silica distributed in volume of liquid by means of ultrasonic processing on characteristics of cement and sand solution and heavy concrete have been conducted. Nanoadditive influence on density, speed of strength development, final strength under compression of materials on the basis of cement depending on nanoadditive mass percent has been established.

Published: July 2018

Bridges are considered as the most complicated, labour-consuming and expensive components in roadway network of the Republic of Belarus. So their construction and operation are to be carried out at high technological level. One of the modern industrial methods is a cyclic longitudinal launching of large frameworks which provide the possibility to reject usage of expensive auxiliary facilities and reduce a construction period. There are several variants of longitudinal launching according to shipping conditions and span length: without launching girder, with launching girder, with top strut-framed beam in the form of cable-stayed system, with strut-framed beam located under span. While using method for the cyclic longitudinal launching manufacturing process of span is concentrated on the shore. The main task of the investigations is to select economic, quick and technologically simple type of the cyclic longitudinal launching with minimum resource- and labour inputs. Span launching has been comparatively analyzed with temporary supports being specially constructed within the span and according to capital supports with the help of launching girder. Conclusions made on the basis of calculations for constructive elements of span according to bearing ability of element sections during launching and also during the process of reinforced concrete plate grouting and at the stage of operation have shown that span assembly with application of temporary supports does not reduce steel spread in comparison with the variant excluding them. Results of the conducted investigations have been approbated in cooperation with state enterprise “Belgiprodor” while designing a bridge across river Sozh.

OPTIMIZATION OF SUPPLIES OF MATERIAL RESOURCES IN THE LOGISTICS SYSTEM THE CONSTRUCTION OF ROADS
Authors: Tsarenkova I. M.
Published: July 2018

Logistics plays a significant role in resource provision of automobile road construction. The following specific factors have rather high influential character, namely: necessity to use various types of material resources, presence of multicomponent semi-finished products that require final preparation on the construction site, rather large linear length of objects that requires formation of logistics road-construction flow, distance from production bases of construction organizations, dependence of production on natural and climatic factors, distinct seasonality of executed works. All these conditions influence on specific organizational and economic forms of logistics processes while constructing automobile roads. In order to apply a logistics approach for organization of the automobile road construction it is expedient to make modeling of systems for supply of material resources to ensure continuous process of works. Such approach will permit to specify processes requiring optimization. The proposed logistics approach to rational organization of supply for material resources required for automobile road construction presupposes control of all operations which must be carried out on the path of material flow motion. Specific feature of supply chain of material resources in the logistics system for automobile road construction is a direct dependence of final product quality on technology compliance during execution of works which is directly connected with timely supply of materials. Optimization is achieved through selection of quantitative composition of transport facilities, improvement of their productivity and selection of rational transportation schemes using a criterion of minimum cost. Usage of mathematical apparatus allows to calculate optimal number of transport facilities in the logistics system for automobile road construction, ensuring smooth delivery of material resources to the object with due account of the required rate of construction works.
SOME SPECIFIC FEATURES OF RESOURCE SAVING IN CONSTRUCTION

Published: July 2018

The Republic of Belarus possesses a limited number of important natural resources and their conservation is considered as one of the strategic directions for the development of construction industry. Regularities in resource saving can be used not only for cost-cutting at the expense of cheaper materials with worse properties but they can also be used under certain specific conditions for price formation through selection of expensive qualitative construction materials and products. Thus an analysis of changes in concrete price due to higher compressive strength has shown that the price per one concrete cubic metre is increasing much more slowly than an increase in strength. For this reason high-performance concrete is more advantageous in comparison with lowand medium-strength concrete. New comparative units for strength and other physical properties have been proposed for assessment of resource efficiency: unit price (in case of being used) and cost price (in case of being manufactured) make it possible to compare various materials and products and such approach is necessary while using steel tube confined concrete (STCC) structures in construction. Estimates suggest that high-strength concrete and tubes with minimum thickness of walls withstanding lateral pressure of a core which is deformed under load must be applied for STCC structures under normal operational conditions. In this context it is necessary to use damping devices for compensation of difference in characteristics of concrete and tube material and these devices ensure maximum safe load of concrete core and tube material.

Published: July 2018

Titanium and niobium alloys are widely used at present in aircraft, nuclear energy, microwave technology, space and ultrasonic technology, as well as in manufacture of medical products. In most cases production technology of such products involves an implementation of a quality polishing surface. Mechanical and electrochemical methods are conventionally used for polishing products made of titanium and niobium alloys. Disadvantages of mechanical methods are low productivity, susceptibility to introduction of foreign particles, difficulties in processing complex geometric shapes. These materials are hard-to-machine for electrochemical technologies and processes of their polishing require the use of toxic electrolytes. Traditionally, electrochemical polishing of titanium and niobium alloys is carried out in acid electrolytes consisting of toxic hydrofluoric (20–25 %), sulfuric nitric and perchloric acids. The disadvantage of such solutions is their high aggressiveness and harmful effects for production personnel and environment. This paper proposes to use fundamentally new developed modes of electrolytic-plasma treatment for electrolyte-plasma polishing and cleaning products of titanium and niobium alloys while using simple electrolyte composition based on an aqueous ammonium fluoride solution providing a significant increase in surface quality that ensures high reflectivity. Due to the use of aqueous electrolyte the technology has a high ecological safety in comparison with traditional electrochemical polishing. The paper presents results of the study pertaining to the effect of titanium and niobium electrolytic-plasma polishing characteristics using the developed mode for productivity, processing efficiency, surface quality, and structure and properties of the surface to be treated. Based on the obtained results, processes of electrolytic-plasma polishing of a number of products made of titanium alloys BT6 (Grade 5), used in medicine and aircraft construction, have been worked out in the paper.
TECHNOLOGICAL PECULIAR FEATURES IN DEPOSIT OPENING OF SOLID MINERALS WHILE USING ARTICULATED DUMP TRUCKS
Authors: Glebov A. V.
Published: July 2018

The paper provides an analysis for production of four-wheel drive dump trucks with an articulated frame and it also describes a practical experience pertaining to operation of dump trucks as mining automotive transport. Technical characteristics for some models of articulated dump trucks manufactured in Russia and Belarus are presented in the paper. The paper gives examples for transportation of run-of-mine ore at enterprises of Russia and abroad. The attention has been focused on specific features concerning organizational, technological and design decision making while introducing and promoting articulated dump trucks. It has been established that articulated dump trucks make it possible to improve an efficiency of mine development during construction period and when ore mining and processing enterprises are put into operation especially in geographically remote and inaccessible areas. The paper proposes technological solutions allowing to expand the scope of articulated dump truck application at mining enterprises while using them for quarry development excavating deep deposits of solid minerals. It has been revealed that reduction in overburden volume can be achieved by transition from a certain depth to lower capacity dump trucks or special dump trucks operating on elevated slopes of roads. The paper shows that one of perspective directions for development of mining technology on kimberlite deposits is an opening of lower quarry horizons by peripheral road tunnels of spiral shape while using articulated dump trucks. The presented technological solutions require further research and design consideration and study and they will allow to ensure resource efficiency and safety of surface mining while extracting minerals at previously uneconomic ore deposits. In order to realize an import substitution program for four-wheel drive dump trucks with an articulated frame it is necessary to carry out marketing research on potential market for machines of this class required for open-pit mining in order to justify prospects for provision of the Russian production market.

This paper presents results of a comparative analysis of 34 measures published in the scientific literature and used for evaluation of the image quality without a reference image. In English literature, they are called no-reference (NR) measure or measures NR-type. The first article, the term no-reference, was published in 2000 and each year a growing number of publications on new measures NR-type. However, comparative studies of such measures is not practically conducted. Such measures are very important for a) just made photo quality evaluation, b) assessment of image enhancement transformations and selection of their parameters (such as contrast and brightness adjustments, tone-mapping, decolorization and others). Publicly available image quality databases used for study no-reference quality measures (TID2013, etc.), contain 4-5 variants of images distorted by predefined transformations with unknown parameters. We presented six types of experiments to analyze correlation of the computed numerical quality values with visual estimates of the test images quality. Four of the experiments are new: comparison of images after gamma-correction and contrast enhancement with different parameters, as well as analysis of the retouched images and photos taken with different focal length. It was shown experimentally that no one of the known no-reference quality assessment measure is universal, and the calculated value cannot be converted to a quality scale, excluding factors influencing the distortion of the image. Most of the studied measures calculates local estimates in small neighborhoods, and their arithmetic mean is the quality index of the image. If the image contains large areas of uniform brightness, the measures of this type can give incorrect quality assessment, which will not correlate with the visual assessments.

The article discusses the expansion of the previously formulated approach to modeling aspects of the reproductive cycle, taking into account the changes in the habitat and metamorphosis in the development of fish. Excessive accumulation of nutrients with prolonged use of a reservoir for artificial growth of juveniles or accelerated decomposition of organic nitrogen and phosphorus may in some cases affect the success of the reproductive process. This creates an indirect effect on long-term trends in population dynamics. In some cases, the increase in the influx of organic phosphorus further leads to a state of eutrophication and may affect the insufficient aeration of breeding sites, leading to hypoxia for hatched larvae. Even worsen the situation with the consumption of oxygen in the water at the mass destruction of eggs. Lack of organic matter leads to insufficient development of planktonic organisms for optimal growth of fishes. The system of survivability equations for calculation competing individuals of the generation is supplemented by a functional extension using an iterative model of biogenic elements dynamics, based on the analysis of processes in the ecosystem of Lake Chao. The block of the model for calculating the inflow and destruction of organic matter is synchronized with a continuous-discrete computational structure that takes into account the interrelated changes in mortality factors and the rate of development of juvenile fish during transitions between generalized ecological and physiological stages of development.

The solar energy is directly converted into electrical energy by solar PV module. Each type of PV module has its own specific characteristic corresponding to the surrounding condition such as irradiation, and temperature and this makes the tracking of maximum power point (MPP) a complicated problem. To overcome this problem, many maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control algorithms have been presented. Fuzzy logic (FL) has been used for tracking the MPP of PV modules because it has the advantages of being robust, relatively simple to design and does not require the knowledge of an exact model where a mathematical model of the PV module, DC-DC converter, are used in the study of FL based MPPT algorithm. It is suggested to present this problem in the form of two-folds; first to identify the deviation of the power to maximum power point, and secondly, to control the voltage of the DC-DC converter corresponding to maximum power. In this paper, the first discussion approach will stress out the integration of model predictive control in maximum power point tracking MPPT and as progressing a second approach is identified as fuzzy logic controller FLC and perturb & Observe P&O algorithms are analyzed. All are interrelated to MPPT model for a photovoltaic module, PVM, to search for and generate the maximum power; in this case what’s called P-max. As per the first technique the focus is on the optimal duty ratio, D, for a series of multi diverse types of converters and load matching. The design of the MPPT for a stand-alone photovoltaic power generation system is applied where the system will consist of a solar array with nonlinear time varying characteristics, and a converter with appropriate filters. The integration of model predictive control will be addressed first in this paper. The second fold will implement an MPPT system that use the FLC and compare it with a classical MPPT P&O algorithm through the utilization of Simulink. The novel design in the FLC will be based on the use of asymmetrical membership functions to compensate for the asymmetrical P-V curve of solar panel.

The problem of analytical synthesis of a control signal by a linear dynamical system is considered. As an optimization criterion, it is proposed to consider the transition time of the system from the initial state to a given final state. This type of control is called forced, providing the maximum system speed. The principle of solving this problem is considered on the basis of application of uncertain Lagrange multipliers and the Pontryagin maximum principle. Expressions are obtained for the matrix of transitions of the system and the control signal in a vector form.

As an example, the electric drive described by the widespread second-order mathematical model is considered to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method. Qualitative illustrations of the operability of the proposed approach, obtained by modeling in the Mathcad environment, and quantitative characteristics of the change in the input and output signals of the hypothetical control system are presented. It is shown that the use of forced control does not lead to the output of variables characterizing the state of the system, beyond the limits of admissible values.

The use of forced control makes it possible to synthesize the control law in the form of a sequence of rectangular pulses of constant amplitude determined by the power source, variable duty cycle and polarity. This approach can be used for the control of DC-type DC motors used in various tracking systems used on unmanned aerial vehicles. Key words: forced control, target function, electric drive, pulse train.
