This solution of the ROV motion has been improved by using the three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation that allows simulating the turbulent flow, which is mainly generated by propellers. Both methods were coupled to obtain more accurate values of hydrodynamic damping coefficients for the improved determination of the ROV motion velocity. Results of the solution are discussed and some of them are compared with the experiment.","PeriodicalId":39125,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Military Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45349845","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}

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of a heated air-fuel mixture on the combustion process of a spark ignition (SI) engine, and to highlight the maximum temperatures to be applied to air-fuel mixtures with different fuel fractions in order to avoid any detonation of the fuel mixture in the engine. Tests were carried out with a petrol engine generator (GENSET) so that an investigation could be conducted into the effect of the air-fuel mixture on the engine’s combustion. It turned out that heating the air-fuel mixture permits the use of heavier fraction fuels than engine petrol in SI engines does, including diesel fuel and biodiesel fuel, and also that the use of heavy fraction fuels in SI engines is effective mainly under low and middle loads.","PeriodicalId":39125,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Military Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49249525","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}

The article presents a model of surface-to-air missile system (SAMS) reliability during long-term operation, which contains a set of models, namely: a model of operation of ground combat assets (GCA) of SAMS according to the typical cyclogram of intended use (TCIU); a reliability dynamics model of SAMS GCA in the established system of maintenance and repair (SMR) and a reliability dynamics model of surface-to-air missiles (SAM) during extended usage. It is expedient to use the developed model at substantiation of requirements to the indicators of SAMS and SAM reliability for their development or modernization; when developing SAMS repair plans in terms of determining the time of SAMS GCA and (or) SAM repairing time and when developing methods for assessing the effectiveness of SAMS taking into account the duration of SAMS GCA and SAMS usage.","PeriodicalId":39125,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Military Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49223753","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}

The dynamic model is created for a portable gas-operated submachine gun and contains three solids with seven degrees of freedom. The 7.62 mm AKM submachine gun has been used for the model simulation and experimental verification. The dynamic simulation was conducted and then the results were compared with the corresponding experimental data. The model simulation results are very close to the experimental results. This study aims to survey the influence of various parameters on gun stability in the shooting. It is possible to apply these results to portable automatic guns.","PeriodicalId":39125,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Military Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45290185","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}
