Composite materials of SF and polyethylene glycidyl methacrylate (PEGDMA), a biocompatible polymer, attract attention as scaffold materials for regenerative medicine. To the authors’ knowledge, SF–PEGDMA composite hydrogels have thus far not been manufactured using optical fabrication methods, and the change in their compressive properties during their degradation has not been studied. In addition, cellulose nanofiber (CNF), a plant-derived nanomaterial with excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility, was added to the SF–PEGDMA hydrogels to enhance their mechanical properties. SF–PEGDMA composite hydrogels were three-dimensionally printed using digital light processing. The compressive strength of the obtained hydrogels stored in pure water or phosphate buffer solution temporarily increased and decreased after 4 days. However, after 7 days, the strength decreased to a level similar to that of the specimens which did not contain CNF.

The possibility of evaluating the structural parameters, i.e., the homogeneity coefficients and the variation of the reliability of various devices for obtaining the hardness values of rolled metal products, is considered. The results obtained experimentally have shown the effectiveness of such evaluations. The reliability of the methods for testing the hardness of materials of different plasticities was controlled by determining the degree of dispersion of the obtained results by the LM-hardness method. The influence of the material’s physical and mechanical characteristics on the hardness test’s accuracy is analyzed. The possibility of choosing the most reliable Brinell, Vickers, or Rockwell method for determining hardness characteristics depending on the level of plastic properties of the sheet material was determined. Following Fisher’s theory of small samples in terms of the general population, a statistical assessment of the reliability of measurement methods was performed on a sample of a limited size, which makes it possible to assess the reliability of the results of hardness determination by various methods and determine the optimal variant of testing materials, including high-strength ones, for hardness. According to the methodology for analyzing variance to select the optimal variant for conducting studies of material hardness, the statistical assessment of the reliability of hardness measurements was carried out using a random sample from the general population in its central part in the number of five measurements following each other. The variance check is applied using the Cochrane criterion to determine the uncertain members of the variation series.

Barrel rupture occasions pose new challenges for the developers of this weapon to improve the safe operation of mortars. The literature analysis revealed that among the current studies on the stress-strain state of mortar barrels during the projectile explosion in their channel, the results of determining the stresses in the barrel structures capable of withstanding the explosive gas pressure in the channel were absent. Existing mathematical models for evaluating the stress-strain state of a mortar barrel on the projectile detonation in its channel need to be improved. The potentials of developing new approaches to mortar barrel strengthening for combat operations are substantiated. For this, the theory of insert liquid-filled cylinder structures (pipes) is proposed. The internal pressure for those structures is calculated.

To improve the service life of the cutter ring, a new kind of Cr-Mo-W-V medium carbon alloy cutter ring steel (DQ1) with better hardness and toughness was developed. The effects of the heat treatment process on the microscopic structure and mechanical properties of DQ1 steel were studied by the spectrometer, optical microscope, Rockwell hardness tester, and impact tester. The wear resistance of DQ1, H13, and DC53 steel was compared and analyzed through the abrasive wear test and rock breaking test. The results indicate that outstanding mechanical properties and wear resistance of DQ1 steel were obtained after quenching at 1040°C and tempering at 540°C, the hardness was 4.4 HRC higher than that of H13 steel, and the impact absorption energy was 85.7% higher than that of DC53 steel. In excavating strong impact and high abrasion formations, the average service life of the DQ1 steel cutter ring was increased by 24.6% compared with the H13 steel cutter ring, and the brittle fracture problem common in the DC53 cutter ring did not appear.

Approximation of displacements rests on piecewise-linear interpolation functions with triangular elements, and strain and stress distributions are approximated by the linear combination that includes the piecewise-linear interpolation and interior bell function. The latter ensures the stability and convergence of the approximate discrete problem solution. The solution results for linear elastic and elastoplastic model plane central mode I crack-strip tension problems under different loading and plane strain state conditions are presented. Elastoplastic calculations were made with an ideal elastoplastic material model. The application of the energy balance and <i>G</i>-integral concepts to the calculation of the specific work of fracture at the stationary crack tip is substantiated. It is shown that on condition of uniform plate partition in the vicinity of the crack tip, the application of those concepts to SIF calculation for one loading stage is consistent with the Irwin plastic zone correction, maintaining this approach in further mesh thickening. Elastoplastic calculations on repeated loading demonstrated that tensile stresses ahead of the crack tip were about the same as on the initial one, but the opening at the crack tip on the former was larger than on the latter, and this effect was most pronounced for the first half of active loading values.
