The local flow structure in a turbulent gas-droplet flow behind a single obstacle has been studied numerically with varying initial mass fraction and diameter of dispersed particles. The effect of evaporating droplets flowing over a single square obstacle on the local mean and fluctuating flow structure and dispersed-phase propagation has been analyzed. The mean longitudinal velocity profiles for the gas and dispersed phases are similar to those for single-phase flow. The gas velocity in the gas-droplet flow is insignificantly (less than 3%) higher than that in single-phase flow. The turbulence kinetic energy increases in approaching the obstacle. Maximum gas-phase turbulence was obtained on the obstacle at (x/h= -1{-}0), and it is more than 50% higher than the turbulence kinetic energy before and after the obstacle.

Results of tensile and low-cycle fatigue testing of samples made of an aluminum–lithium alloy of the Al–Mg–Li system obtained by plasma-assisted laser cutting performed by a pulsed CO₂ laser in an argon jet with the laser beam and optical discharge plasma simultaneously affecting the material are reported. Low-cycle fatigue tests show that the number of loading cycles survived by the sample obtained by plasma-assisted laser cutting is more than twice greater than the number of cycles survived by the samples obtained by conventional laser cutting with a continuous beam.

The influence of the jet pressure ratio ((n=1.18{-}3.35)) in a nonisobaric supersonic jet of a vibrationally excited gas SF₆ exhausting from a convergent axisymmetric nozzle 0.25 mm in diameter is studied numerically and experimentally. The experiments aimed at studying the gas-dynamic structure of the jets are performed in a specially designed jet setup of the Khristianovich Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The numerical simulations are performed by solving two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations within the framework of the ANSYS Fluent software and the thermally perfect gas model. The influence of excitation of vibrational degrees of freedom of the SF₆ gas is studied in both an equilibrium gas and a vibrationally nonequilibrium gas. The nonequilibrium state of vibrational degrees of freedom is simulated with the use of a two-temperature model of relaxation flows. It is shown that the jet pressure ratio of the SF₆ gas affects the cell length of the wave structure, which is responsible for the change in the vibrational relaxation rate. The coefficient of density amplitude reduction in gas-dynamic cells is derived as a function of the jet pressure ratio.

The paper presents the results of an experimental study of the influence of distributed engines mounted downstream of the trailing edge on the structure of a separated flow around a trapezoidal model of a flying wing in a subsonic wind tunnel. Visualization patterns of the near-wall flow on the leeward side of the model are obtained in the modes of blocked engines and for the rotational speed of the impeller of 32800 rpm in the range of angles of attack of the wing (alpha = 5{-}20^circ). The studies also take into account the location of distributed propulsion relative to the level of the trailing edge, where the axis of rotation of the engine impeller coincided with the continuation of the wing chord line or is higher than that. The possibility of controlling a separated flow by using sources of stationary disturbances in the form of cones and ribs locally mounted at singular points on the wing surface is studied.

The feasibility of joining of the 6061 aluminum alloy to double-layer oxygen-free copper (TU1) by laser welding technology is reported. The weld formation and microstructure of the Cu–Cu–Al welding joint for various technological parameters are analyzed. The assessment of experimental results is based on macro- and microstructure observations of the weld using the Axio Observer D1M and Gemini SEM 300 scanning electron microscopes. The width and depth of the molten pool and the mechanical properties of the Cu–Cu–Al welding joint are tested by the Eagle-MD semi-automatic image measuring instrument and the YH-9002 computerized tension and compression machine. Among the nine tested samples, the most favorable weld parameters values are obtained with a laser power at 1600 W and a welding speed of 90 mm/s. The aluminum side area has a richer metallographic structure than the copper side area after welding.

Nonlinear vibrations, buckling, and aeroelasticity of a thin nonlinear orthotropic composite plate have been analyzed. The types of symmetric and antisymmetric sheet layering, the number of layers, the fiber angle ranging from 0 to 90°, the effect of constant and variable thermal loads, the temperature dependence of the specific heat coefficient and the elastic modulus of the material, along with the local geometric defects have been investigated. Using Galerkin’s weighted residual theory, partial differential equations have been transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are solved by the Runge–Kutta method.

The stress-strain elastic field in a square array of (N) non-overlapping circular inclusions is described by approximate analytical formulas. In particular, soft inclusions are studied by an asymptotic analysis. The case with (N = 1) yields a regular square array of disks of radius (r) embedded in an elastic matrix. The computations of Natanzon and Filshtinsky are based on an infinite system of linear algebraic equations solved by the truncation method. The infinite system determines the Taylor series coefficients of the Kolosov–Muskhelishvili complex potentials. A method of functional equations is used to write the series coefficients in symbolic form up to terms of the order of (O(r^{2s})) at a fixed value of (s). Approximate analytical formulas for local elastic fields are derived.

The process of buckling of the von Mises truss in the case of material instability, i.e., with allowance for material non-ellipticity, is considered. Force-displacement diagrams are constructed. Results that allow one to study buckling of thin-walled structures (arches or shells) made of materials for which the loss of ellipticity of equilibrium equations is possible are obtained.

The main types of strain of an adhesive cross-reinforced with composite fibers is analyzed using a solution to the cell problem of the elasticity theory. It is shown that all previously predicted possible types of local strain of a fiber composite adhesive are revealed in numerical solutions to the cell problem of the homogenization theory. The local stress-strain state of the adhesive significantly depends on the cross-sectional shape of the fibers. The stress-strain state in the case of square fibers can be calculated either using explicit formulas, and the stress-strain state in the case of fibers of other shapes can be estimated only using a computer.

The classical time-harmonic plane strain problem for a fluid-loaded cylindrical elastic shell is revisited. The results of the low-frequency asymptotic analysis, including explicit formulae for eigenfrequencies, are presented. A refined version of the semi-membrane shell theory is formulated. It is shown that the shell inertia does not affect significantly the lowest eigenfrequencies. It is also demonstrated that the ring stress component has a parabolic linear variation.
