The main ingredient of gunpowder is nitrocellulose. For slowing down the catalytical decomposition process, predominated stabilizer diphenylamine is in use for single-base gunpowder, as well as for propellants. On the other hand, the stabilizer wears out over time, which causes changes in chemical stability of energetic materials. One of the classical methods for determination the chemical stability is the Bergman-Jung method, which has two subgroups. This paper presents comparative analyses for twelve NC and five NCD gunpowder. Namely, both subgroups are based on the calculation of the volume of nitric oxide gases, but the difference between them depend on the method of collecting and determining released gases.

The effect of sensitization on the intergranular corrosion (IGC) of TIG welded AlMg6Mn was investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and corrosion NAMLT tests. The as-received hot rolled AlMg6Mn alloy plates with a thickness of 8 mm were welded by TIG welding with S-AlMg5 as a filler material. Specimens were sensitized at 100°C for 7 days. It was found that welded specimens are sensitive to IGC. The. mass loss in NAML test was 106.7 mg/cm². The welding increases the susceptibility to IGC, since the mass loss of the base metal at the same test was 70.7 mg/cm². The increase of susceptibility to IGC is attributed to significant continually precipitated Mg-rich phase along the grain boundaries during the sensitization treatment.

In this paper an advanced iterative learning control algorithm for rehabilitation exoskeletons is proposed. A simplified biomechanical model is used as the control object to verify control algorithm feasibility. The control design is proposed as two level controller consisting of inner and outer loop. In the inner loop the feedback linearization is applied to cancel out the model nonlinearities. In the outer loop the advanced iterative learning control algorithm of sgnPDD2 type is applied as a feedforward controller and classical PD controller as a feedback controller. Uncertainties are added in order to examine the controller design robustness. Numerical simulation is carried out.

At the beginning of the 21 century, integrated management systems (IMS) are the key for quality management, in order to meet customer needs, restructuring the organization, reducing costs, increasing productivity and profit, and the long-term sustainable development of the organization. ISO 9001 forms the backbone of an integrated management system, as it establishes a systematic approach keeping in mind risk in business. Risk-based thinking is already a part of the process approach. This approach establishes a link between the likelihood of a particular danger and the seriousness of the consequences. The paper presents the principles of risk management that are embedded in the integrated quality management system at the Military Technical Institute. The specificity of the development of armament and military equipment requires an integrated approach to risk management. The presented structure of the IMS enables a simple extension with the requirements of the new standards that are planned for implementation in the future.

Practical and realistic approach for a successful use of filament wound filter housing based on bisphenol A polyester resin for purification of highly corrosive contaminated solutions is presented in this paper. Filament winding technology and basic terms about polyester and polymeric composite materials are described. Data about modes of producing neat (no reinforced) bisphenol A polyester resin specimens and composite material specimen, based on mentioned resin and glass fiber, are presented. Neat resin specimens were exposed to the single influence of aqueous solution of calcium hypochlorite, of sodium hydroxide, of sulphuric acid, of citric acid and liquid detergent for a period of 360 hours each, separately, and to the cumulative influence of all mentioned aqueous solutions for in overall period of 1440 hours. Tested properties of these specimens (mass change, hardness and impact resistance) showed that there is no negative influence on neat bisphenol A polyester resin quality. Filament wound composite reinforced glass fiber/bisphenol A polyester resin-based rings and cylinders were exposed to the influence of calcium hypochlorite aqueous solution for 1128 hours. Results of testing mass change, tensile breaking force and tensile strength of composite reinforced rings and hydraulic burst pressure of composite reinforced cylinders indicated that these specimens have high resistance to mentioned purification agent. It is concluded that the filter housing for purification of highly corrosive contaminated solutions can be produced by filament winding technology using bisphenol A polyester resin and glass fiber.

Elastic element of the forced oscillation apparatus for dynamic measurements in the T-38 wind tunnel is described. The elastic element supports large aerodynamic load and enables oscillatory motion of a model during dynamic wind tunnel experiments. Design of the elastic element is a very complex process due to the restricted available space within the model. The elastic element of the T-38 oscillation apparatus is formed from a pair of symmetrical cross-flexures. Two types of the cross-flexures are presented: cross-flexure with uniform cross-section of the strips and cross-flexure with variable cross-section of the strips. Stress analysis of the cross-flexures showed that strips with variable cross-section much better matched strict requirements of the dynamic wind tunnel experiments.

For the infrared prefilter model there was a need for testing the sky radiation and defining its fluctuations within the zone of neighborhood area for the current frame and tests of repeatability. It was necessary to do the statistical processing of sky fluctuations in the current frame, because the sky is represented by corresponding layers through which the infrared image prefiltration is done. In this paper the uniformity for low elevation angles has been confirmed. The lower effective temperatures differences exist at large elevation angles

Intensive research in the field of mathematical modeling of hydraulic servo systems has shown that their mathematical models have many important details which cannot be included in the model. Due to impossibility of direct measurement or calculation of dimensions of certain components, leakage coefficients or friction coefficients, it was supposed that parameters of the hydraulic servo system are random (stochastic nature). On the other side, it has been well known that the hydraulic servo cylinder can be approximated by a linear model with time-varying parameters. An estimation of states and time-varying parameters of linear state space models is of practical importance for fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control. Previous works on this topic consider estimation in Gaussian noise environment, but not in the presence of outliers. The known fact is that the measurements have inconsistent observations with the largest part of the observation population (outliers). They can significantly make worse the properties of linearly recursive algorithms which are designed to work in the presence of Gaussian noises. This paper proposes the strategy of parameter-state robust estimation of linear state space models in presence of non-Gaussian noises. The case of robust estimation of states and parameters of linear systems with parameter faults is considered. Because of its good features in robust filtering, the extended Masreliez-Martin filter represents a cornerstone for realization of the robust algorithm. The good features of the proposed robust algorithm to identification of the hydraulic servo cylinder are illustrated by intensive simulations.

The main roles of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) include: observation, surveillance, transportation, remote sensing and various security tasks. Improved, augmented type of UAVs are high-altitude long-endurance (HALE) aircraft capable and designed, as their name suggests, for lengthy flights at higher altitudes (which also usually implies subsonic cruising velocities). Different variants, in both size and applied technical solutions, have been tried. Common approach incorporates standard wing-fuselage-aft empennage configuration and propelled flight as the most efficient for the required speed range. The paper gives a brief overview of a preliminary aerodynamic analysis of the main lifting surfaces as well as a detailed description of the performed multi-objective optimization of the propeller capable of producing a sufficient amount of thrust at the cruising altitude and speed. Aerodynamic performances of the investigated propellers are estimated by a simple blade element momentum theory (BEMT). The chosen optimizing method, genetic algorithm (GA), is suitable for dealing with a large number of input variables.

Presented study was aimed to investigate the influence of surface functionalization of the industrial kraft lignin (KL) on mechanical and thermal properties of high-performance and fireproof composites based on unsaturated polyester (UPe) resin. In order to improve flame retardant properties, surface of the KL was modified by phosphorylation method in two-step process. First, direct grafting of phosphorus chloride on KL phenolic hydroxyl groups was performed and phosphoric acid ester of KL was formed. In the second step, phosphor ester of KL was recovered by precipitation in cooled isopropyl alcohol and the final obtained product, phosphorylated industrial kraft lignin with methyl terminal groups (KLP) was obtained. KLP mass contents in UPe based composites varied from 0.5 wt.% to 5.0 wt.%. Structural characterization was done via Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The effects of KLP surface functionalization and KLP mass contents on the UPe tensile properties were studied. Tensile strength (σ), elongation (ε) and Young’s modulus of elasticity (E) and Shore A (Sh A) hardness of the UPe/KLP composites were analyzed in relation to the structure of KLP modification. Tensile testing results showed an increase in σ of 31 % for UPe/KL sample with 1.0 wt.% KL particles compared to the bare UPe matrix. The origin and cause of fracture that occurred during uniaxial tensile testing were analyzed using stereo microscopy. The obtained composites were tested on fire retardant properties in accordance with the standard test method UL-94V, and composites with 5.0 wt.% loaded KLP achieved V-1 category
