The only condition set for this item, is its ability to be described by a structure consisting of single exit-point elements. As a consequence, it can become possible to assess, amongst other things, its layers, strong cohesions, transitive and antitransitive closures. Typical tools of such assessment are matrices: transition and reachability. The reason that a centrifugal pump has been selected is not only its importance and common use, but also specifics of interaction of its elements. It is possible to identify for them: independence, dependence, and interdependence. For particular distinguishable diagnostic states, the probabilities of its occurrence have been determined. These probabilities have become a starting point to estimate structure entropy and intensity of transition from the health to any particular failure state. Results of such estimation have been depicted by relevant graphs. A reference has been made to the Bayesian methods and the inseparable ‘serial reliability structure’, to identify their flaws that result particularly from simplifications leading to false and ambiguous diagnoses. The probabilities of health for particular elements have been differentiated by the selection of adequate Weibull indices.","PeriodicalId":52820,"journal":{"name":"Problemy Mechatroniki","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136271511","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}

Reduced smoke generation levels can help to significantly reduce the feasibility of enemy detecting rocket munition launch sites. The authors of this paper developed a test stand that quantified the smoke generation intensity in rocket propellants. The test stand setup, based on the scatter of a laser beam by smoke, measured the smoke generation intensity, including during the operation of a rocket motor. A rocket micromotor was used along with a test chamber to measure the intensity of the smoke generated. It was located directly behind the motor exhaust and provided three laser-photodiode measurement channels. Tests of the smoke generated during the combustion of black powder and a standard mixture of HTPB and AP at a ratio of 20:80 provided reference baselines for the smoke generation intensity tests on the developed rocket propellants. The authors determined the smoke generation intensity of the propellants based on ADN, HTPB, and GAP with various additives. The results produced made it possible to compare the tested materials and select the most preferable materials as measured by their low smoke generation intensity.","PeriodicalId":52820,"journal":{"name":"Problemy Mechatroniki","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136271512","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 results of the analysis made it possible to develop several guidelines aimed at designing the dynamic performance of SMGs to improve their aiming accuracy. In connection with this work, experimental tests were performed at a firing range, where the process of firearm discharge was recorded using a Phantom slow-motion digital camera. What followed was the analysis of the video record using the Tema dedicated computer software. The SMG’s dynamic performance was adjusted to reduce the hit scatter. Based on the results of the empirical tests at the firing range, physical and mathematical models of the SMG-operator system were formulated. The SMG-operator system was simulated in the Scilab software, which provided time-based variation trends of the kinematic quantities that characterised the movements of individual modelled objects. The variation trends determined included displacement, velocity and acceleration of the SMG, its bolt assembly, and the human operator as a function of time. The results of the theoretical analysis were compared to the empirical test results from the firing range. It was found that in the virtual modelling space, the SMG model had a performance similar to that of its real counterpart. With the theoretical model verified, several performance parameters of the SMG were modified and guidelines were developed that could improve the aim.","PeriodicalId":52820,"journal":{"name":"Problemy Mechatroniki","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136271672","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}

A common analytical problem in studies conducted in the ecosystem is the low concentration of the test substance - below the detection limit of the instrument. Helpful in solving this dilemma are accumulation bio-markers, which appear to be an excellent tool for detecting contamination in, for example, flowing water. Such biomarkers make it possible to determine the presence of specific chemical agents at the same time they are a sensitive indicator of the ecosystem's response to contamination. The presented chromatographic method allows quantitative and qualitative determination of 2,6-diamino-4-nitrotoluene, 2,4-diamino-6- nitrotoluene, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, trinitrotoluene, 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene, 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene and tetryl in the biological matrix. The effects of accumulation in the tissue of crustaceans on TNT test solutions were studied from 1 to 24 hours. The saturation effect was observed and the concentration of TNT derivatives was measured. The observed effects confirmed the usefulness of the selected larva as a bio-indicator of TNT contaminant accumulation in the ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":52820,"journal":{"name":"Problemy Mechatroniki","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136271503","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 lack of security on the Internet or any regulations of law applicable to it must make us aware of the types of threats that originate from using the mobile apps, social media, and instant messengers that play a major role in our lives. Information security, construed as protection of information against inadvertent or wilful disclosure, modification, or enabling its processing or destruction, can be viewed from a technological and cognitive standpoint. The phenomenon of social media is driven by the human need for belonging, respect, and recognition. We seek acceptance from others, and not necessarily from our closest circles. This, in turn triggers a stimulus to share everything we do in the public space. The latest electronic devices make it possible to precisely locate their users. Online posts that we publish without understanding what could be garnered from them can be useful to a potential adversary. With the problem characterised like this, it can be anticipated that exploitation of social media can be a source of threats to national security. The hazards are becoming increasingly pertinent to the security of the military institutions that use the attributes of social media.
