Authors: Kovaleva M G , Yu Novikov V , Vagina O N , Sirota V V
Published: December 2021

The ZrB2-45MoSi2-10Al coating was prepared by a Robotic complex for detonation spraying of coatings equipped with a multi-chamber detonation accelerator on surface of carbon/carbon composites without adhesion sublayer. The coating has a lamella-type structure typical for gas-thermal coatings, well connected with C/C composite substrate without sublayer, and composed of m-ZrO2, t-ZrO2, t-MoSi2, some h-ZrB2, and c-Al phases. Heat treatment of the samples at 1500 °C for 1, 3 and 6 h was carried out in air. The effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and phase composition of the ZrB2-45MoSi2-10Al coating was investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The c-ZrO2 and h-(α-Al2O3) were formed after oxidation at 1500 °C for 6 h. The uniform distribution of ZrO2 ceramic particles and the formation of a-Al2O3 enhanced the thermal stability of the coating. The coating after heat treatment (1, 3 and 6 h) exhibited structure without cracks and low porosity. The dense microstructure of the coating contributed to its good oxidation-resistant property at high temperature.

Published: December 2021

The effect of electron radiation on the physical and mechanical properties of Sontara nonwoven fabric produced using spunlace technology has been studied. The initial raw material for the manufacture of materials using this technology, as a rule, are viscose, polyester, polypropylene and cellulose fibers. Such nonwovens are highly breathable and are therefore used in disposable surgical gowns and suits. Since radiation can be used to sterilize disposable surgical gowns, it is important to assess the resistance to ionizing radiation. It was found that the Sontara brand material is resistant to the effects of ionizing radiation - the physical and mechanical characteristics of the material (breaking load and relative elongation) in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the web do not significantly change when irradiated with absorbed doses up to 60 kGy. It should also be noted that a cloth with a basis weight of 68 g/m2 has a significant smell of strength after radiation sterilization.

Authors: Goncharov I , Kovaleva M , Yapryntsev M , Sirota V
Published: December 2021

In this article, new composite coatings ZrB2-35MoSi2-15Al were deposited on the surface of a carbon-carbon composite using a multi-chamber detonation accelerator. The evolution of the phase composition of ZrB2-35MoSi2-15Al coatings was analyzed with differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and X-ray diffractometry (in situ HT-XRD) at temperatures from room temperature (∼ 25°C) to 1400°C (normal atmosphere and pressure). The coating before annealing according to X-ray diffractometry data is tetragonal (t-ZrO2) and monocline (m-ZrO2) zirconium dioxide, monocline silicon oxide (m-SiO2), hexagonal zirconium diboride (h-ZrB2), tetragonal molybdenum disilicide (t-MoSi2), cubic aluminum (c-Al) and cubic yttrium oxide (c-Y2O3). It was found that the coating crystallizes in m-ZrO2 at 460ºC, and then mullite with rhombic crystal lattice appears at 960ºC. When the temperature reaches 1050ºC the m-ZrO2, ZrSiO4, t-ZrO2, m-SiO2 and mullite phases formed in the coating. At 1400 º C, cubic zirconium dioxide appears in the coating. Experimental results can become the basis for the application of ceramic coating ZrB2-35MoSi2-15Al, which can improve the properties of carbon-carbon composites in an oxygen-containing environment at elevated temperatures.

Published: December 2021

Information on the effect of a polysilicate solution obtained by mixing liquid glass with a silicic acid sol on the structure formation of lime compositions is presented. It was revealed that the amount of specific heat released when lime is wetted with a polysilicate solution is greater than when lime is wetted with water. This is due to the additionally released heat due to the chemical interaction of lime with polysilicate solution. It was found that the introduction of a polysilicate solution accelerates the development of plastic strength. For comparison, we used liquid glass and a sol of silicic acid as an additive. The synergistic effect of the influence of the polysilicate solution on the structure formation of lime finishing compositions was established, which manifests itself in the acceleration of the set plastic strength in comparison with silica sol and water glass. It has been established that the introduction of a polysilicate solution into the lime mixture formulation contributes to an increase in the resistance to slipping of the finishing layer. The optimal thickness of the finishing layer was determined, which is 20 mm, at which sliding from the vertical surface is not observed.

Published: December 2021

Increasing the volume of road construction is one of the priority areas of infrastructure development in any country. When building roads, it is preferable to use local materials to reduce the cost of their transportation, therefore, it is advisable to build the roadbed on local soils. It is worth noting that clay water-saturated soils are the most common, which complicates the construction of the road due to some features of this type of soil. The object of the study is a water-saturated clay with the following characteristics: natural humidity from 25.3 % to 28.1% by weight, optimal humidity from 11.8 % to 16.7% by weight, the number of plasticity from 0.118 to 0.153. Clay soils have a number of features: waterlogged soils are difficult to compact and develop, it is quite problematic to dry them, and thixotropy is also characteristic of clay soils. In this regard, it is most advisable to use the method of complex mineral binders to optimize their physical and mechanical properties. In the course of laboratory studies, compositions of soil compositions with the addition of lime waste and superplasticizer P-17 were developed. The dependence of the strength on the consumption of mineral binders and surfactants is established: the maximum compressive strength of the soil being fixed is achieved at a lime content of 25 wt.% and at a P-17 content in the range of 0.10-0.5 wt.%.

The interfacial thermal conductance (ITC) between filler and polymer matrix is considered as one of the important factors that limits the thermal conductivity of thermally conductive polymer composites. The effect of two different surface treatments (piranha solution and plasma) on ITC of epoxy/alumina was investigated using Time-domain thermoreflectance method (TDTR). The TDTR results show that compared with non-treated samples, the ITC of samples treated by piranha solution and plasma increased 2.9 times and 3.4 times, respectively. This study provides guidance for improving the thermal conductivity of thermally conductive polymer composites.

Published: December 2021

As one of the key structures used in nuclear power plants, the study of irradiation effects of pressure vessel steel (RPV) is of great scientific value to nuclear safety. The RPV steel was irradiated by Fe ions up to three different irradiation damage levels (0.08 dpa, 0.15 dpa, and 0.6 dpa). The transmission electron microscope was utilized to measure the irradiated microstructure and it was found that after the irradiation of 0.08 dpa, the density and size of dislocation loops in Fe ions irradiated samples was small and the dislocation loops were distributed near the surface. When irradiation dose was up to 0.15 dpa, many black dots were distributed in the whole irradiation region and some large size dislocation loops appeared. In the case of 0.6 dpa, a large number of dislocation loops were produced and the distribution of dislocation loops extended to the whole irradiation region owing to the production and growth of defects such as vacancies and black dots.

Authors: Yun Feng , Liu Jun , Liu Chunyu , Zhao Xiaochun
Published: December 2021

In 2019, inspection personnel of a wind farm went to the tower and found that a total of 6 bolts of blades in the hub of a wind turbine had broken and failed. In order to find out the cause of fracture, the fracture bolt was comprehensively detected and analyzed by means of appearance morphology analysis, chemical composition analysis, mechanical properties testing, microstructure testing and fracture micro-area analysis. The results show that the main reasons for the bolt fracture are as follows: under the action of the bolt’s constantly changing and repeated wind load impact and the alternating load caused by blade rotation during the operation of the fan, the crack source is formed along the bottom of the thread with serious stress concentration and expands in fatigue mode until the whole fracture fails.

Published: December 2021

Involute spur gears generate heat due to tooth surface meshing friction. Excessive temperature rising affects transmission accuracy and reduces work reliability.. By establishing the normalized coordinates of the meshing curve and based on the frictional heat generation theory, the mathematical analysis model of the meshing surface heating is studied, the factors affecting the average heat flux density of meshing are explored, and the distribution law of these factors along the normalized coordinate of the meshing is analysed. The analysis shows that the tangential velocity of the meshing point and the half-bandwidth of the time domain contact have the greatest influence on the average heat flow density; the average heat flow density distribution of the driving wheel and the driven wheel are similar. The heat flow density of the driving wheel is greater than that of the driven wheel. Tooth shape modification minimizes tooth surface meshing contact stress, reduces meshing heat generation, controls temperature rise and improves transmission reliability.

Published: December 2021

To evaluate single-particle initial displacement damage of InN, the MD method is used to simulate the cascades, where the energy of PKA (E
PKA) ranges from 1 to 5 keV. From these results, we can find that high EPKA will increase Np and Ns of defects, and aggravate the damage of InN, which is more obvious in Frenkel pairs. The formation efficiency of vacancy and interstitial is influenced by antisite defects, thereby causing the difference between vacancies and interstitials for the same atomic type. About the distribution of InN defects, it is mainly caused by vacancy defects, indicating that vacancy damage occupies the main position in displacement damage.

Published: December 2021

With loads on prefabricated bridges becoming more and more heavier, their dynamic behaviors should be paid more attention to. A virtual prototyping model with the object-oriented technology and the mode synthesis method is presented in MATLAB to analyze dynamic behaviors of prefabricated bridges. Using structural characteristics of the bridges properly, substructures can be looked on as objects which can be encapsulated with the mode synthesis method. The compatibility conditions on interfaces, the Lagrange’s equation and Ritz’s variational principle play the role of messages transmitting among objects. Simulation results indicate that the present model can easily study dynamic behaviors of bridges in the same model.

Published: December 2021

The adhesive sealant is a crucial structure connecting color filters and thin film transistors in liquid crystal panels. Research on the fracture progress of the connection structure is heavily needed in reliability evaluation engineering. In this work, three types of adhesive sealants with different widths were tested by the uniaxial tensile experiment to obtain their fracture process curves, which conformed to the brittle fracture characteristics described by the bilinear cohesion zone model. Then, according to the theory of engineering fracture mechanics, the Dugdale-Barenblatt plastic zone model was employed to analyze the adhesive sealant with hole defects, and it was simplified to mode ? fracture mechanics problem. Calculating with finite element numerical simulation, the numerical relationship between the stress field of the internal defect and the external stress of the material was obtained, and the brittle fracture behavior model was deduced as related to the defect size. Applying the model to the adhesive sealant, the average error of the model value after the correction was reduced from 7.98-12.13% to 6.84-7.53%, and the overall error was only within 15%. The model includes the material’s basic characteristics and the defect’s size that affect the fracture process, provides a theoretical basis for predicting the fracture of the sealant and improving the strength of bonded joints, thus is of great significance for material application and fracture analysis in engineering.

Authors: Kostin Aleksey
Published: December 2021

This contribution presents the first detailed analysis of a new volcanic succession of olivine-pyroxenites, andesite, and dacite discovered in the Kildyam Late Jurassic complex in Central Yakutia. Petrographic and microprobe studies confirmed the liquid immiscibility in silicate melts during crystallization. Immiscible liquids are preserved as globules of one glass in another in andesites and as melted inclusions of native iron in matrix, clinopyroxene and plagioclase phenocrysts. Our analyses reveal the complex textural relationships between silicates and Fe-oxides, native iron and (Cu, Pb, Ag and Au)-rich phases, and provide unequivocal textural evidences, not observed previously. Purpose of this research is to preserve a very important data on IO (Iron Oxide) or IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold) mineralization. Obtained results support occurrence and diverse of gold, silver, copper and lead minerals in magnetite lavas. During the early stage of fine-grained subvolcanic olivine-clinopyroxenite end pyrrhotite, globular igneous sulfides is a first proposed style of economic deposit formation. The second proposed style of economic mineralization in Kildyam is to be a magnetite-bearing lava; iron enrichment of the melilitic melt phase, followed by iron depletion and silica enrichment. The vesicle-hosted alloys and sulfides provide significant new data on metal transport and precipitation from high-temperature magmatic vapors. During syneruptive vapor phase exsolution, volatile metals (Cu-Zn, Fe-Al-Cu, Ni-Fe-Cu-Sn) and Ag-Cu-sulfides contribute to the formation of economic concentrations. Major conclusions contribute to 3-step genetic model. (1) Early-formed magmatic minerals led to partial dissolution of olivine-clinopyroxenite and their enrichment in Cu, Co and Ni relative to other metals, while troilite globules droplets grew.(2) First stage of division into two immiscible silicate and sulfide melt liquids (a) K-rich dacitic and rhyolithic glass, and (b) vesicles of heavy sulfide minerals with a large segregations and drops of native iron.

Morphological features of collected fruiting bodies, such as shape, size, colour, odor, hymenophore and velum types, etc., were analysed. Spore slides were prepared in glycerin and fuchsin acid and observed under a light microscope. Some samples were isolated on a Malt agar medium, and macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of isolates were observed for precise identification. Identifications were done using relevant literature. At locations in the outdoor area and in the greenhouse, a total of 165 macrofungal species were recorded fruiting on soil, between them 35 species are considered edible, 14 poisonous, while 106 species are inedible Most of the species belong to the division Basidiomycota (151) and only 14 to the division Ascomycota. Identified species distributed in 5 Classes, 13 Orders, 36 families and 68 Genuse. The highest number of soil-inhabiting basidiomycetous macrofungal species was in the forest soil plot (116), followed by the Pasture soil (29). The on families with the highest number of species was Russulaceae (17%), Agaricaceae (15%), Boletaceae (12%), Cortinariaceae (9%) and Psathyrellaceae - 8%, The remaining 31 families-39%. Lactarius, Cortinarius, Russula, Amanita and et al., were the richest genus. All 6 substrates studied, it observed that the species that had a higher frequency were Agaricus subrufescens, Calvatia cyathiformis and Leucocoprinus cretaceus, occurring in soil, soil/litter and pasture. On the other hand, Agaricus campestris, A. rufoaurantiacus, Chlorophyllum hortense and Volvopluteus earlier among others, were collected only from two substrates (soil/and plant residue). The other genera (most of it) occurred in only one substrate. Peaks macromycetes was in May and October, when the average temperature remained between 22 - 26°C and relative humidity between 78% and 92%. The occurrence of macromycetes was higher in May, when the temperature was milder and stable on average 24°C. Found that Adjara support a large and diverse community of macrofungi fruiting on soil, many species of which are previously undiscovered and undescribed. On this basis, works of longer duration and more intensive sampling are needed to obtain data regarding fungal communities, with more attention to specific variables such as microclimate, soil moisture, soil type, soil pH and vegetation types.

Published: December 2021

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the basic cereal in human and animal nutrition. Every month, wheat is harvested somewhere in the world. In Romania, a country with a temperate-continental climate, the wheat is harvested between June and July, while the sowing is carried out between September and October. Climatic and meteorological factors during these periods can influence the nutritional quality of wheat. The aim of this study was to analyse the influence of annual average temperature and the amount of precipitate on the chemical composition and on the value of metabolizable energy of the wheat, respectively. The climatic and meteorological data used in this study come from NMA database. Were analysed the periods September 2017 - July 2018 (period 1, noted with 2018 - the year of harvesting) and September 2018 - July 2019 (period 2, noted with 2019 - the year of harvesting), respectively. For the chemical analysis, the NIR (Near InfraRed spectroscopy) method was used. The calculation of metabolizable energy was performed based on the ATWATER system, a system applicable to both human and animal nutrition. The statistical analysis of the climatic and meteorological data showed that the annual average temperature for period 1 was lower compared to the temperatures of period 2. Also, the precipitations were more abundant in period 1 compared to period 2. There were no significant statistical differences for any of the climatic and meteorological factors assayed during the analyzed periods. Following the statistical correlations between the nutrients studied by chemical analysis, for those 2 periods, significant differences were observed (p <0.001). The humidity of wheat grains harvested in 2018 was higher (average = 13.03%) compared to that of grains harvested in 2019 (average = 10.72%). The protein content was lower in 2018 (average = 10.02%) than in 2019 (average = 11.04%); and similar results were obtained for the fibre content (average 2018 = 2.17%; average 2019 = 2.96%). Also, the value of metabolizable energy was lower for wheat harvested in 2018 (average = 3517.90 kcal/kg) compared to 2019 (average = 3611.04 kcal/kg). In conclusion, the results of this study highlight the influence of temperature and precipitation on the chemical composition of wheat, thus having a direct impact on the nutritional quality of this grain for human and animal nutrition.

Published: December 2021

In the work Silicon – on - insulator nanostructures after implantation by various doses of ions 4He+ and 40Ar+ are investigated. Researches were carried out by measurement of optical reflection spectrum and magnitude of work function of an electron. It is shown that ions 40Ar+ in Silicon – on - insulator nanostructures, providing high efficiency of gettering influence, incorporate the neutral divacancy responsible for an observable minimum in ranges of reflection 0.73-0.75eV. As a result of implanted by ions 4He+ the gettering doesn’t occur and the entered defects are divacancies with one negative charge, responsible for an observable maximum in reflection ranges 0.73-0.75eV.

Published: December 2021

Mawat Ophiolite Complex is located about 36 km to the northeast of Sulaimani city and directly to the east-northeast of Mawat town near the border of Iran in the northeastern Iraq. The complex has about 600-km2 surface area and consists of high mountain terrains that subjected to intense geological investigations from the fiftieth of previous century till now. According to previous studies, the complex contains tens of igneous rocks such as basalt, metabasalt, tuff, diabase, metadiabase, diorite dykes, periodotite, serpentinite, serpentinite-matrix mélange, gabbro, metagabbro, harzbergite, pyroxenite, plagiogranite, pegmatite, granitiod rocks and dunite. They added occurrences of the volcanic and subvolcanic rocks in the form of dykes or basaltic flows. The present study tries to change the petrology and tectonics of whole complex from Ophiolite Complex to Metamorphic Core Complex. The revision includes refusal of all the above igneous rocks, instead they considered as medium grade regional metamorphism of different types of volcaniclastic sandstones (volcanic wackes), arenites and greywackes (impure sandstones) which sourced predominantly from remote volcanic source area inside Iran. The revision depended on several conjugate field and laboratory evidences inside the complex. These evidences such as absence of pillow basalt, volcanic flows, glass shards, volcanic cones, dykes, sills, contact metamorphism, dilatational structures and flow structures. Other evidences are presence of cross beddings, erosional surfaces, lensoidal channel fills, metamorphosed conglomerate, exposures of thousands of laminated planar beds and transition from fresh volcaniclastic sandstones to its medium grade metamorphosed counterparts, which previously considered as igneous rocks of ophiolite types. Another, evidence, in contrast to ophiolite section, the basalt location is at the base of the claimed ophiolite section while plutonic (dunite and peridotite) rocks located at its top. These locations of the two rocks contradict the definition of ophiolites. Accordingly, the present study changed the geological map of the whole Mawat area from igneous outcrops to metamorphosed volcaniclastic sandstones, arenites and greywackes that belong to Walash-Naoperdan Series. The parent rocks of the series transformed to different types of regionally metamorphosed rocks by deep burial during Eocene. During the burial, diageneses and metamorphisms enhanced by complex mixture of materials from different source areas and seawaters environments. Later, they uplifted, unroofed and exhumed during Pliocene as a core complex.

Deriving a local geoid model has drawn much research interest in the last decade, in an endeavour to minimize the errors in orthometric heights calculations, inherited by the use of global geoid reference models. In most parts of the earth, the local geoid surface may be tens of meters away from the Global Reference biaxial Ellipsoid (WGS84), which create numerus problems in topographic, environmental and navigational applications. Several methods have been developed for optimizing the precision of the calculation of the geoid heights undulations and the accuracy of the corresponding orthometric heights calculations. The optimization refers either to the method used for data acquisition, or to the geometrical method used for the determination of the best fit local geoid model. In the present work, we focus on the reference ellipsoid used for the geometric and geoid heights determination and develop a method to provide the one that fits best to the local geoid surface. Moreover, we consider relatively small sea regions and near to coast areas, where the usual methods for data acquisition fail more or less, and we pay attention in two directions: To obtain accurate measured data and to have the best possible reference ellipsoid for the area at hand. In this due, we use the “GNSS-on-boat” methodology to obtain direct sea level data, which we induce in a Moore Penrose pseudoinverse procedure to calculate the best fit triaxial ellipsoid. This locally optimized reference ellipsoid minimizes the geometric heights in the region at hand. The method is applied in two closed sea areas in Greece, namely Corinthian and Patra’s gulf and also in four regions in the Ionian Sea, which exhibit significant geoid alterations. Taking into account all factors of uncertainty, the precision of the mean sea level surface, produced by the “GNSS on boat” methodology, had been estimated at 5.43 cm for the gulf of Patras, at 3.76 cm for the Corinthian gulf and at 3.31 for the Ionian and Adriatic Sea areas. The average difference of this surface and the local triaxial reference ellipsoid, calculated in this work, is found to be less than 15 cm, whereas the corresponding difference with respect to WGS84 is of the order of 30m.

The article presents the results of studying the sulfidization zone of the Charky-Indigirka thrust fault within the Vyun ore field in the Upper Adycha sector of the Yana-Kolyma metallogenic belt. The purpose of the research is to study the composition and distribution of basic and trace elements in terrigenous rocks of the Upper Triassic and Middle Jurassic, as well as in distal metasomatites on the territory of the Vyun ore field. The petrochemical features of weakly altered terrigenous rocks, conditions of their formation and changes of composition during epigenetic processes were analyzed. Three generations of pyrite were identified: diagenetic Py1, metamorphogenic Py2 and metasomatic Py3. Typomorphic trace elements and variations of their distribution in pyrites were determined. Composition analyses of weakly altered sedimentary rocks of the Upper Triassic (V/(V+Ni)=0.5-0.8, V/Cr=0.1-2.9 and Ni/Co=2.5-10.3) and Middle Jurassic (V/(V+Ni)=0.7-0.9, V/Cr=0.2-2.0 and Ni/Co=1.3-8.8) yielded the conclusion that changes in oxygen conditions to disoxic and anoxic, as well as the enrichment of terrigenous material with ore elements, lead to the formation of authigenic sulfide mineralization at the early stages of the sedimentary strata formation. The subsequent multistage development of the territory was accompanied by an active migration of chemical elements, their input and redistribution.

Mist generator is a basic element of systems designed to protect from explosions. It is responsible for forming a suppression barrier between the place of explosion and the zone to be protected. The effectiveness of the system is determined by the capacity of the mist to suppress blast overpressure and impulse. The attenuation capacity, on its turn, depends on mist properties, such as droplet size, water concentration in mist and droplet velocity. The paper examines droplet velocity influence on overpressure and impulse attenuation in mist when the properties of the latter are in the following ranges: droplet size - 15-345 μm; droplet velocity - 5.5-35 m/s; shock wave velocity – 515-718 m/s, droplet impact angle - 900. The influence of drop velocity on blast attenuation has been assessed according to overpressure and impulse reduction factors.
Experimental Study of Possibilities for Developing a Building Information Model of a Laser-Scanned Physical Object
Authors: Nedyalkov Danail
Published: December 2021

The methodological approach when using a scanned physical object to build a building information model (BIM) is based on laser scanning technology and aims to create technical documentation of existing buildings, most often with the status of historically significant sites. The BIM technology can be used as an integral part for the creation of the documentation in the process of construction and of the new sites, as well as their administrative and managerial control in the process of their construction and operation. The essence of the experiment is to model space in a parametric three-dimensional model (BIM) in the ArchiCAD program, using a laser-scanned physical object (point cloud). The cloud obtained from the laser scan contains detailed spatial information, which is used in the basis of creation of a construction information model (BIM) and control during the development of the model. The laser-scanned physical object (point cloud) contains the same geometric information as the construction information model (BIM), but with a much smaller amount of data, the file size is visible - point cloud - 30.41 MB, BIM - 9.83 MB). The advantages of BIM over the point cloud is to give the ability to edit the model, to study the energy behavior of the model, to create construction and technical documentation of the scanned object, as well as to disclose the ability to fill in technical data and parameters based on the map and cadastral basis. By means of the density of the point cloud (parameter of the equipment used - laser scanner) of the scanned object, information is obtained and used with sufficient detail and accuracy about the physical data of the real object and this is the basis for the full and comprehensive content of BIM. Based on the sufficient detail created in the BIM for the physical object, it is possible for its combinability and its actual use in the real environment.

Experimental determining of horizontal movements of the water tower reservoirs by GB-RAR

Published: December 2021

Ground-based radar interferometry (GBRI) with ground-based real aperture radar (GB-RAR) is most often used for monitoring vertical deflections of bridge structures caused by vehicle passages. This paper presents an experimental determining of the horizontal dynamic movements of water tower reservoirs by GB-RAR. Determining the dynamic movements of water tower reservoirs is more complicated precisely because the movement of the reservoir is influenced not only by external influences, such as wind, but also by the movement of water mass in the reservoir. The resulting oscillation is then a composite oscillation of multiple frequencies. Next, in the case of routine determination of vertical deflections of bridge structures, it is reasonable to assume a predominant deflection of the structure in this one particular direction. But in the case of tower structures such as reservoirs, it is necessary to assume their movements (oscillations) in the entire horizontal plane. The movements can be circular, elliptical, straight, spiral, or even completely irregular. This means using at least two radars to simultaneously determine 2D movements (in both perpendicular directions of the horizontal plane). In the optimal case, the radars aim at the monitored object in approximately perpendicular directions to each other, and the resulting motion vectors in the horizontal plane are calculated from LOS measurements. The processing of measurements from both radars raises other problems, namely accurate time synchronization of radar measurements. In case of tower structures, time synchronization cannot be solved by coincidence of oscillation amplitude peaks, since the peaks from different radar views may not occur simultaneously. Therefore, alternative solution is offered in this contribution. Purpose of this contribution is to design and verify a procedure for accurate determination of horizontal movements of tower reservoirs with sufficiently accurate oscillation characteristics. The procedure was experimentally verified in practice on a real water reservoir in central Bohemia. The results of the experiment confirm the expected benefits of simultaneous measurements by two radars for determining horizontal dynamic movements of water tower reservoirs by GB-RAR.
