Concrete is connected rigidly to a steel sheet in order to perform the joint operation of the concrete and steel sheet. Such a connection in the beam is provided by rigid stops that prevent shifting efforts in the concrete and steel contact area. The efforts are determined through the turning angles between the two adjacent sections of the beam. A graph-analytical method for determining movements is used to determine the turning angles. In determining the deformations of a steel-concrete beam, the calculation is based on the reduced rigidities of cross-sections. The purpose of this study is to optimize the structure of a steel-concrete beam by selecting the rational number and arrangement of rigid stops. This optimization would allow a more rational utilization of the structure's material ‒ concrete and steel. That would reduce the cost of operations and the quantity of materials required in the production, installation, and operation of the considered structures. An earlier proposed algorithm for the selection of rigid stops in steel-concrete beams under the action of a concentrated force has been expanded for the case of an evenly distributed load. When selecting the number of rigid stops, it is assumed that the magnitude of the distributed load acting on a beam, the mechanical characteristics of materials (steel and concrete), as well as the span of the beam and the size of its cross-section, are kNown. In contrast to the beams with a concentrated force in the middle, where the forces abide by a linear law, in the beams with an evenly distributed load the efforts in a steel strip change in line with a square parabola. Therefore, while the same step has been obtained for stops, it is not possible to achieve a situation at which efforts in all stops have the same value","PeriodicalId":18300,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Other Materials Processing & Manufacturing (Topic)","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79492754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we have harnessed three-dimensional bioprinting (3DP) technology for developing such a system for the first time. PDL was modelled by using gelatin methacryloyl (Gel-MA) bioink for bioprinting human periodontal ligament fibroblasts. On the side, AB was modelled by using a composite bioink comprised of Gel-MA and hydroxyapatite-magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Gel-MA/HAp-MNPs) for bioprinting human osteoblasts. MNPs were incorporated to bring magnetic properties to the mineralized layer for use in prospective orthodontic mechanotransduction studies. The 3DP parameters of the composite microtissue were optimized; the physical, chemical, rheological, mechanical, and thermal properties of the constructs were assessed. Finally, preliminary evaluation of the model drug tetracycline interactions was performed. Thus, the effects of the tetracyclines on PDL-AB have clinical significance for treating PD diseases.

The object of the presented study is a road structure with transverse shallow drainage arranged in wet sections of roads. In order to determine the drainage intensity of the drainage structure, an experiment was performed on a special installation for modeling the road structure depending on the properties of filler materials. Parameters of the installation make it possible to arrange a structure that corresponds to real conditions, that is, the parameters of a road of category III and study the processes of formation of the filtration flow in the drainage trench which is impossible with real objects. The laboratory installation was used to study operating conditions of drainage structures: a layer of crushed stone of 20–40 mm fraction and two types of transverse shallow drains with different filler materials in the trench. In the process of a series of experimental studies, the volume of water drained from the trench and drainage time was measured. According to the study results, based on the methods of mathematical statistics, unified equations of the correlation-regression model concerning the mode of operation of the drainage structure were constructed depending on initial soil moisture in the roadbed. According to the results of experimental studies, one of the main indicators of work of shallow drainage structures which depends on the properties of materials of trenches fillers, that is, the drainage intensity was determined. It was found that in contrast to the structure with a PVC pipe filled with coarse sand, the drainage structure with a crushed stone core in the trench worked in one mode of the formed flow. The work of the structure with the pipe is divided into short-term and long-term modes depending on the drainage intensity.

This would expand the operational range of aircraft flights, reduce noise on the ground, and harmful emissions from the engine. A distinctive feature is the achieved thrust of the engine D-436-148FM undera maximum emergency mode, 19.4 % higher than the thrust of the engine D-436-148D. That was made possible by optimizing the fan, improving the combustion chamber, and turbine cascade. The required amount of bench and flight tests has been performed. The engine certification is currently being completed. Specialists at the Antonov State Enterprise and Ivchenko-Progress State Enterprise studied the issue of installing the D-436-148FM engine on the An-148 and An-158 aircraft family. No changes to the design of the engine and aircraft are required. The engine is mounted on the same pylons without changes to the nacelle and engine bonnets. Energy-dependent systems associated with the engine have been investigated. There is no need for the fundamental changes in related systems for the engine’s operational modes according to the Aircraft Flight Manual. An engineering analysis of the comparison of flight-technical and flight-landing characteristics of the An-158 aircraft equipped with the engines D-436-148D and D-436-148FM has been performed. The data were obtained from the flight tests of the An-158 certified aircraft, taking into consideration the wind tunnel studies, flight tests of the An-178 aircraft, data from the An-158 Flight Manual, and the altitude and speed performance of the D-436-148D and D-436-148FM engines.

In this work, a study on high lift devices and mechanisms that aim to increase maximum lift coefficient and reduce drag on commercial aircraft wings is discussed. Typically, such extensions are provided to main airfoil along span wise direction of wing and can increase lift coefficient by more than 100% during operation. Increasing the no of trailing edge flaps in chord wise direction could result in 100% increment in lift coefficient at a given angle of attack but leading edge slats improve lift by delaying the flow separation near stall angle of attack. Different combinations of trailing edge flaps used by Airbus, Boeing and McDonnel Douglas manufacturers are explained along with kinematic mechanisms to deploy them. The surface pressure distribution for 30P30N airfoil is evaluated using 2D vortex panel method and effects of chord wise boundary layer flow transitions on aerodynamic lift generation is discussed.

Index tests were carried out to classify the natural soil, while the moisture-density relationships were determined by compaction tests on the natural and treated soils using three energy levels viz, British Standard light (BSL), West African Standard (WAS) and British Standard heavy (BSH). BCS used in the study was classified as A-7-5 (20) using the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and CH group in the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
