Large bending strains in an orthotropic beam with a preliminarily stretched or compressed layer: Exact solution
Abstract
The model of an orthotropic nonlinear elastic compressible material generalizing the known model of an isotropic semilinear (harmonic) material and admitting a number of exact solutions at large strains is proposed. For this model of the material, an exact solution of the plane problem on large bending strains of a compound rectangular beam consisting of two layers, one of which is preliminarily deformed, is obtained. When formulating and solving the problem, the theory of superimposed large strains is used. On the basis of the calculations carried out, the effect of anisotropy on a strong bending of the compound beam with a preliminarily deformed layer is analyzed.






The internal structure of turbulence
Abstract
A general solution of the Boltzmann equation is presented. On its basis, a hypothesis about the internal structure of turbulence is proposed. An expression for the turbulent-friction coefficient is obtained. The criterion on the basis of which the solution of the Boltzmann equation can be attributed to the turbulent mode of flow is formulated.



Effect of combined high-frequency and pulse-dynamic impact on adhesive-joint strength
Abstract
The problem on exfoliation of a string on an elastic foundation under the application of external force is considered. The dependence of amplitude of the forced load, which causes the exfoliation of the string, on its frequency and application time is investigated. The exfoliation criterion under use is based on the concept of incubation time. It should be noted that, at certain values of the forced-vibration frequency, it is possible to decrease considerably the threshold-amplitude value.



Modeling of cavitation-bubble compression in benzene
Abstract
In this study a two-dimensional model for calculating cavitation-bubble compression in benzene using a wide range of equations of state for ultrahigh pressures and temperatures is constructed. The calculations are carried out on the supercomputer of the Keldysh IAM. With the help of this model, the possibility of hits in the diamond-formation mode depending on the parameters of the external pressure and the initial bubble radius are analyzed. The dependence of the duration of the presence in the diamond-formation mode on these parameters is investigated.



The Timoshenko–Reissner generalized model of a plate highly nonuniform in thickness
Abstract
A thin plate fabricated of material that is transversally isotropic and nonuniform in thickness is considered. The model of the monolayer transversally homogeneous isotropic plate, which is approximately equivalent to a thickness-nonuniform plate in the deflection and in the lowest frequencies of free vibrations, is constructed. The range of applicability of the model constructed is very wide. The main result of this study is a formula for calculating the transverse-shear rigidity of an equivalent transversally isotropic plate.



Towards improving efficiency of control for blowing into a boundary layer through a permeable wall
Abstract
The results of experimental and numerical investigations of the efficiency of control by an incompressible turbulent boundary layer with the help air blowing through a permeable wall fabricated with maintenance of most of the necessary requirements for the quality and configuration of microapertures and having a low effective roughness are analyzed. Various cases of modeling the process of air blowing into the boundary layer through a specified hi-tech finely perforated surface are considered, and the data for average parameters and characteristics of turbulence of the flow types under investigation are presented. A substantial decrease in the skin-friction coefficient along the model length, which can achieve 90% with increasing the blowing coefficient, is shown. The estimate of the energy consumption for the process of blowing under terrestrial conditions testifies to the high potential of this method of control capable to provide 4–5% gain in the total aerodynamic drag of a simple modeling configuration.



Deformation and fracture in graphene with divacancies of the 555–777 type
Abstract
The deformation and fracture of graphene sheets containing 555–777 defects have been investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. Each such defect is a divacancy forming a localized configuration of three pentagonal and three septangular cells of carbon atoms in a hexagonal graphene lattice. An emphasis is made on the influence of 555–777 defects in graphene on its mechanical characteristics (stress–strain curve, uniaxial tensile strength, and maximum elastic strain).

Abstract
The methodology of efficient macroscopic calculation of parameters of the cubic crystal lattice based on the use of the coefficient of structured packing of its elementary cell is considered. The possibility of precision theoretical determination of the numerical values of interatomic distances in crystals of the type under consideration is shown.



Spin of the ground quantum state of electrons from first principles in the representation of Feynman path integrals
Abstract
A method for calculating the spin of the ground quantum state of nonrelativistic electrons and distance between energy levels of quantum states differing in the spin magnitude from first principles is proposed. The approach developed is free from the one-electron approximation and applicable in multielectron systems with allowance for all spatial correlations. The possibilities of the method are demonstrated by the example of calculating the energy gap between spin states in model ellipsoidal quantum dots with a harmonic confining field. The results of computations by the Monte Carlo method point to high sensitivity of the energy gap to the break of spherical symmetry of the quantum dot. For three electrons, the phenomenon of inversion has been revealed for levels corresponding to high and low values of the spin. The calculations demonstrate the practical possibility to obtain spin states with arbitrarily close energies by varying the shape of the quantum dot, which is a key condition for development prospects in technologies of storage systems based on spin qubits.



Singlet two-electron states in superconducting materials based on iron pnictides
Abstract
Two-electron states with a zero pulse for the symmetry group of superconducting materials based on iron pnictides are considered. Cases are established for the introduction of one or two additional quantum numbers, notably, the internal quantum number, which characterizes single-electron states, or an additional quantum number, i.e. the irreducible representation index of the intermediate group. The octet structure of zeros observed in photoelectron spectra and the phase difference between the two-electron states on various Fermi surfaces are interpreted.






Technical Physics
Macroscopic states induced in superconducting media by a transport current under flux creep
Abstract
The physical features of the formation of macroscopic states of superconducting composites consisting of a superconductor and a coating under flux creep are discussed. It is demonstrated that there exist characteristic electric field strengths depending on the properties of the superconductor, cooling conditions, and characteristics of the stabilizing coating, which affect the intensity of the E-I characteristics of the superconducting composites. Analysis shows that the measurements of the critical properties of superconductors can be accompanied by a nonuniform electric field distribution over the composite cross section and high stable superheating of the superconductor, which do not lead to superconductivity breaking.
