The paper presents a numerical analysis, using the finite element method, for the case of static and dynamic loading of the upper carriage of the remote-controlled combat station, due to the recoil force generated by the operation of the integrated automatic grenade launcher 30mm M93. The paper describes the problem of integrating the BGA 30mm M93 automatic grenade launcher onto the combat platform, and based on the dimensions of the automatic launcher, modeling of the automatic launcher stand with cradle was carried out. As a result of the weapon dynamics equations and internal ballistics calculations, the pressure force of the gunpowder gases and the recoil force of the automatic grenade launcher were calculated. The paper also presents the results of the dynamic analysis of the finite element model of the upper gun carriage loaded with the obtained impulse recoil force for different elevation angles of the weapon.

Significant improvement of the unmanned vehicles possibility has achieved by increasing its autonomy, i.e. by excluding the human operator from the guidance loop. In this paper is considered the autonomous control of the unmanned tracked vehicle (UTV) in the presence of the unknown caterpillar tracks slippage. The longitudinal and lateral control model for the UTV path following problem are developed. To handle unknown uncertainties and slippage disturbances, the design of active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) for both, longitudinal and lateral control channels, are proposed. ADRC strategy is enabled that all the control channel uncertainties and disturbances are treated as one lumped (total) disturbance, which is defined as an extended system state and estimated by appropriate extended state observer (ESO). Further, applying the appropriate closed-loop control laws, based on the total disturbance estimation, the complex longitudinal and lateral control problems are reduced to disturbance-free model control. The numerical simulations for the different path following scenarios and caterpillar tracks slippage dynamics are given to verify effectiveness of the proposed UTV control.

This paper presents modeling, simulations and control of the ground-to-air missile fin actuation system, where brushed DC motors are used as actuators, which are driven using voltage regulation-Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). The mathematical model of the system was determined using the differential equations of behavior of the lowest order that was experimentally confirmed. This model was taken as a starting point in the synthesis of the Lead compensator, used to regulate the position of the missile's control surfaces. The trial and error method was used for the synthesis of Lead compensator, taking care to meet the required characteristics of the System, in form of bandwidth and gain. The improved transient process and behavior of the System have also been experimentally confirmed.

Due to the great expansion of woodworking, profile tools manufacturing has become current and in demand. In wood industry there are two large groups of tools: rotary and spindle milling cutters that can be profile or flat. The technology of making profile rotary milling cutters requires, apart from cutting, turning, milling, 5-axis grinding operation that is performed on a 5-axis CNC grinding machine with the A'OXYZC configuration.It is a machine of a very complex kinematics and high cost-price. The paper presents a new machine that has been built for 3+2-axis grinding - Profilator 100,used for industrial manufacturing of rotary and spindle profile milling cutters. The accuracy of measures and shapes of the profile cutters built on Profilator 100 is of a high level and in industrial exploitation the difference is not observed between the profile cutters built on 5-axis CNC grinding machines. Regarding technoeconomic cost-effectiveness, production costs of Profilator 100 are lower even by ten times compared to the cost-price of 5-axis CNC grinding machines of renowned world manufacturers such as Schneeberger and Volmer.

This paper investigates the using potential of acryl-functionalized kraft lignin (AKL) in reducing the flammability of polymer composites based on recycled unsaturated polyester resins (UPR). Acryl functionalization of kraft lignin was performed by direct esterification of free polyphenolic groups with acryloyl chloride, after what, the AKL was blended in UPR resin synthesized from the polyols obtained by catalytic depolymerization of waste poly(ethylene terephthalate). The AKL was homogenized in UPR resin in different weight ratios: 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 12.5 wt.%. Structural and dynamic-mechanical characteristics of acryl-functionalized kraft lignin and composites were determined using FTIR spectroscopy, dynamicmechanical analysis (DMA), and tensile tests. The influence of functionalization and mass fraction of AKL on tensile and thermal properties of UPR resin was studied. The thermal properties of the composite were tested according to the standard UL-94 method, based on which the highest category of heat-resistant materials is a composite with 12.5 wt.% acylfunctionalized lignin.

In this paper volumetric, mechanical and hydraulic characteristics of filament wound composite one fiber tubes and hybrid tubes are presented. Composite hybrid materials, produced by filament winding technology, are categorized according to different ways of classification of hybrid materials. Four fibrous reinforcement agents (glass G600, polyamide aromatic K49, carbon T300 and carbon T800) and two impregnation agent systems (epoxy 0164 and epoxy L20) are used for manufacturing of filament wound tubes. Density, tensile strength, specific tensile strength, hydraulic burst pressure and specific hydraulic burst pressure of two filament wound glass fiber/epoxy resins tubes (as starting materials) and of twelve filament wound hybrid tubes are investigated. Four highest values of tensile strength and hydraulic burst pressure are of the next schedule: hybrid tubes mark G600-T800/L20 (the highest), hybrid tubes mark G600-T800/0164, hybrid tubes mark G600-T300/L20 and hybrid tubes mark G600-K49/L20. Also, a row of four highest specific tensile strength and highest specific hydraulic burst pressure begins with hybrid tubes mark G600-T800/L20, but the schedule of the next three tubes is different due to density of aramide composite materials (hybrid tubes mark G600-K49/L20, hybrid tubes mark G600-T800/0164 and hybrid tubes mark G600-K49/0164). All filament wound tubes (single fiber tubes and hybrid tubes) with epoxy L20 have a slightly lower density value but higher values of tensile strength, specific tensile strength, hydraulic burst pressure and specific hydraulic burst pressure than appropriate tubes impregnated with epoxy 0164. Obtained results in this testing indicate and emphasize the importance of advanced reinforcing agents (aramide roving and carbon fibers), of impregnating agents (epoxy resin systems) and of the density of hybrid tubes, especially with aramide roving.

The major energy components of double-based gunpowder are nitrocellulose (NC) and nitroglycerin (NG). In double-based gunpowder NG is used as a plasticizer and, at the same time, as an energetic component. Since the amount of NG in the gunpowder strongly influences and affects its chemical and mechanical properties or/and characteristics, the study of NG content is of great importance. The aim of this paper is to compare the analytical performances of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and classic analytical volumetric method for the separation and qualitative determination of nitroglycerine in smokeless gunpowder.

Experimental verification of base-bleed effects on aerodynamic characteristics for the supersonic flight stages was requested during the development of an axi-symmetric projectile. The experimental setup for testing base-bleed configurations of the projectile was designed, built and tested in the T-38 trisonic blowdown wind tunnel of the Military Technical Institute (VTI), Belgrade. Gas-generator was formed from a simple chamber with a single manifold pneumatically connected to a high-pressure air supply. Wind tunnel tests comprised measurement of aerodynamic forces and moments of the projectile with active base-bleed. Flow visualization was performed using the Schlieren method. It was of interest to verify the base drag reduction in the wind tunnel tests and to compare it with numerical predictions. In addition, the experience gained during these tests has been found to be helpful in the design of the future similar wind tunnel setups
