The work aims to develop NNMs and study the influence of various factors on the accuracy of determining the force transmitted by the ion plume of the thruster to a space debris object (SDO). The tasks to resolve are to choose the structures of the NNMs, form a data set and use this data to train and validate the NNMs, and to explore the influence of the model structure and optimizer parameters on the accuracy of force determination. The methods used are plasma physics, computer simulation, deep learning, and optimization using an improved version of stochastic gradient descent. As a result of research, three NNMs have been developed, which differ in the number of hidden layers and neurons in hidden layers. For training and validation of the NNMs, a data set was generated for an SDO approximated by a cylinder using an autosimilar description of the ion plasma propagation. The data set was obtained for various relative positions and orientations of the object in the process of its removal from an orbit. Using this data set, the NNM parameters were optimized with the supervised learning method. The optimizer and its parameters are selected, providing a small error at the stage of validating learning outcomes. It was found that the accuracy of determining the force depends on the relative position and orientation of the SDO, as well as the architecture of the NNM, and the features of this influence were identified. The approach applied allows us to obtain the possibility of using methods of deep learning to determine the force impact of the IT plume on the SDO. The proposed models provide the accuracy of the force impact determination, which is sufficient for solving the considered class of problems. At the same time, NNM makes it possible to obtain results much faster in comparison with the methods used previously. This fact makes the NNMs promising to use both on-board and in mathematical modeling of missions to remove space debris.","PeriodicalId":42936,"journal":{"name":"Space Science and Technology-Kosmicna Nauka i Tehnologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48103588","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}

Of particular interest are elastomers, such as silicone and polyurethane rubbers. In experimental works for the manufacture of carbon fiber plates, we used the method of manual molding with mechanical pressing. This technology is economical, does not require large labor costs, and less material consumption than when using other methods of formation. The effect of polyurethane and silicone rubbers as modifiers of increasing the impact strength of epoxy resin Etal-Inject-T hot curing has been studied. To determine the compressive strength of carbon fiber, the samples were tested on a universal test machine MUP200. The impact strength of carbon fiber was determined by the Charpy method. It is established that polyurethane and silicone rubbers have the same qualitative effect on the properties of epoxy resins. When modifying carbon fiber with polyurethane rubber with an increase in the content of up to 10%, the impact strength of carbon fiber increases to a maximum of 215 kJ/m2, with a significant increase in compressive strength up to 495 MPa. Optimal results were obtained with polyurethane rubber at 10% content of the substance. The main role of rubber in increasing the strength and elasticity of the material is that when the impact in a small amount of carbon fiber concentrates a lot of mechanical energy, the rubbers are stress concentrators, so the crack arises in the matrix adjacent to the elastomer (rubber). The increase in the toughness of the material can be associated with the formation of a dispersed phase of rubber, which loosens the structure of the cured epoxy resin.","PeriodicalId":42936,"journal":{"name":"Space Science and Technology-Kosmicna Nauka i Tehnologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67116999","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}

We exploited the sample of ~315800 low-redshift SDSS DR9 galaxies with absolute stellar magnitudes of −24m < Mr < −19.4m at 0.003 < z < 0.1 redshifts as a target data set for the CNN classifier. Because it is tightly overlapped with the Galaxy Zoo 2 (GZ2) sample, we use these annotated data as the training data set to classify galaxies into 34 detailed features. In the presence of a pronounced difference in visual parameters between galaxies from the GZ2 training data set and galaxies without known morphological parameters, we applied novel procedures, which allowed us for the first time to get rid of this difference for smaller and fainter SDSS galaxies with mr < 17.7. We describe in detail the adversarial validation technique as well as how we managed the optimal train-test split of galaxies from the training data set to verify our CNN model based on the DenseNet-201 realistically. We have also found optimal galaxy image transformations, which help increase the classifier’s generalization ability. We demonstrate for the first time that implication of the CNN model with a train-test split of data sets and size-changing function simulating a decrease in magnitude and size (data augmentation) significantly improves the classification of smaller and fainter SDSS galaxies. It can be considered as another way to improve the human bias for those galaxy images that had a poor vote classification in the GZ project. Such an approach, like autoimmunization, when the CNN classifier, trained on very good galaxy images, is able to retrain bad images from the same homogeneous sample, can be considered co-planar to other methods of combating such a human bias. The most promising result is related to the CNN prediction probability in the classification of detailed features. The accuracy of the CNN classifier is in the range of 83.3—99.4 % depending on 32 features (exception is for “disturbed” (68.55 %) and “arms winding medium” (77.39 %) features). As a result, for the first time, we assigned the detailed morphological classification for more than 140000 low-redshift galaxies, especially at the fainter end. A visual inspection of the samples of galaxies with certain morphological features allowed us to reveal typical problem points of galaxy image classification by shape and features from the astronomical point of view. The morphological catalogs of low-redshift SDSS galaxies with the most interesting features are available through the UkrVO website (http://ukr-vo.org/galaxies/) and VizieR.","PeriodicalId":42936,"journal":{"name":"Space Science and Technology-Kosmicna Nauka i Tehnologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49300949","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}

It has been demonstrated that extending operating resource over 6-8 thousand hours leads to an increase in ZhS32-VI “base-deposited metal” weld’s cracking susceptibility during welding and subsequent thermal processing operations. It has been shown that providing stable forming of deposited bead on the shroud edge’s surface requires applying nonstationary impulse modes of straight polarity welding current. Considering the significant amount of technological parameters of the process studied, subjective analysis of such welding modes is extremely complicated. We have introduced the method of specifying requirements for such single-layer micro-plasma powder welding deposition modes with welding current in a range of 7-20 A according to the criteria of effective arc heating power and heat input, which involves using the system for registration and digital processing of welding current-welding bead deposition time dependency. Based on the analysis of statistical data on the quantitative evaluation of cracking susceptibility of the investigated weld, the optimal range of average values has been discovered for these generalized welding deposition mode parameters to be applied in a manual or automated process, which provides no more than several percent of cracked blades detected at the end of refurbishment technological cycle. We have shown that significant technological parameters, which affect the amount of technological defects during mentioned blades’ refurbishment, are the average value of effective welding current and ZhS32 superalloy powder quality, primarily determined by oxygen and nitrogen average weight content in its dispersed particles. It was also shown that the increase in average weight content of gas impurities in the filler powder, primarily oxygen, causes a significant increase in energy consumed on deposited bead formation during the micro-plasma powder deposition process. An initial quality control method for the ZhS32-VI filler powder range has been proposed. The method is based on the average weight content of oxygen and nitrogen, evaluated by reducing fusion in transporting gas flow and on evaluation criteria of effective arc heating power and heat input average values of witness sample blades’ refurbishment process and their conformity to previously defined optimal. An evaluation of future application possibilities for registration systems and deposition mode analysis in batch repair conditions of nickel superalloy aircraft parts has been introduced.","PeriodicalId":42936,"journal":{"name":"Space Science and Technology-Kosmicna Nauka i Tehnologia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67117229","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}
